Herbal and Nutritional Services
The past decade has seen a dramatic increase in the number of people wanting to take responsibility for their own health, and a greater interest in the role played by nutrition, through both diet and supplementation. You can no longer depend on food alone to provide all the nutrition you need to stay healthy. A large body of research has clearly demonstrated that the nutrients found in dietary supplements reduce your risk of chronic disease, improve quality of life, and increase longevity. We know that true health is learned and earned. It is not a gift, but a process of continuous improvement.
Whether it’s relief from certain physical ailments you seek, or to build health to improve the quality of your life, the experts at Healing Alternatives are here to educate and guide you on the path to optimal health.
Nutritional Status is determined by Applied Kinesiology
One of the basic principles of natural health is the importance of listening to your body. One important way to listen to your body is to use applied kinesiology. Applied Kinesiology (also known as Muscle Response Testing) is a simple, safe, natural method of analyzing the body's structural, physical, and nutritional needs. In addition, Kinesiology can detect allergies, toxic overload and organ or gland dysfunctions which can adversely affect your health. An imbalance in any of these areas can cause or contribute to various acute or chronic health problems.
Why should you purchase supplements at Healing Alternatives?
Selecting the right supplements can be a difficult process. With so many companies, the choices available may be overwhelming. It is pertinent to choose the most effective and safest option for yourself and your family. At Healing Alternatives, we use professional grade supplements that provide high quality, bioavailability and rigorously tested ingredients to help you achieve the best outcomes for health and vitality.
The quality of professional grade supplements is ensured a few different ways.
Selection of the Best Ingredients
Ingredients are obtained from premier sources from around the world. With these propriety and/ or patented ingredients you are provided with the best possible formula. Along with what is included, there are also ingredients that you want to avoid, such as allergens (gluten, dairy, peanuts, etc.) and additional compounds and artificial colors, flavors and sweeteners. At Healing Alternatives, we do not have harmful additives in the formulas we offer. Any “other ingredients” that certain people want to avoid, like dairy derivative or egg derivatives are clearly marked.
Bioavailability
Bioavailability is the amount of a nutrient that is able to be successfully utilized by the body. These supplements have been professionally designed in order to incorporate ingredients with the highest bioavailability, making sure you are able to use every ounce of the supplements you take. Bioavailability can fluctuate based on form of the supplement, making it super important for each substance to be to converted into its most effective form. Along with the bioavailability of a product, the amount of each substance per dose can change its effectiveness. This is why each dose follows the clinical recommendations, ensuring the greatest health effects.
Testing
Making sure these supplements are the best and safest they can be is part of the testing process. Identity testing for each ingredient is conducted to make sure what the label says is what you are getting, 100% of the time. Not only are each of the ingredients tested for quality and identification, the finished products also go through multiple levels of verification. Each supplement is verified to have the amount of each ingredient displayed on the bottle, along with meeting the FDA’s GMP (good manufacturing practices) quality standards. Testing can also include random third-party tests to confirm the accuracy and potency of the supplement. Third party verification also makes sure that the supplements are free of microorganisms, heavy metals and gluten free, if stated on the label.
Given that supplements and vitamins on the shelf at your local health food store or grocery store are not held to these standards, we cannot guarantee that an item purchased from these places will be safe or as effective as what we are recommending.
Please let us know if you have any questions, or we can clarify anything further for you around this matter.
