NUTRITION ROUNDUP
New or improved supplements
benefit your patients
Which nutritional products do your patients need? Getting your patients to take care of their nutritional needs may be challenging, with their busy on-the-go schedules and fast-food temptations.
But carrying nutritional supplementation options in your practice and suggesting them to your patients (if allowed by your state's scope of practice) may help keep their health needs in the forefront and other health-related problems — obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and other illnesses — at bay.
Chiropractic Economics put a call out to nutrition companies, asking for information on some of their latest products, and maybe even some old ones that have been improved. Some are highlighted here.
Please keep in mind that all information has been provided by the manufacturers, and Chiropractic Economics does not test nor endorse any of the products listed.
