Choosing Quality Supplements

How can you find the best, safest and most effective products on the market?

The UltraWellness Healthy Living Shop provides only the best of category products that we have used and found to be effective in our treatment of thousands of patients over 15 years.

Finding the best products to support health has always been the most difficult part of my job and of any practitioner of Functional Medicine. The lack of adequate government regulations, the dizzying number of products on the market, and the large variations in quality all create a minefield of obstacles for anyone trying to find the right supplement, vitamin or herb.

Fortunately, in a sea of poor quality and lowered standards, there are a few companies that stand out and have stepped up to the responsibility of producing safe and effective products. They meet our specific criteria for quality and effectiveness.

I offer you The UltraWellness Healthy Living Shop to share my hard-won knowledge about how to evaluate and choose only the best supplements. I have worked with my team of physicians and nutritionists to choose the best products in every category – vitamins, mineral, herbs, omega 3 fats, hormones, and specialty products.

What criteria do we use to select nutritional supplements?

  1. Manufacturers use GMP (good manufacturing practices) for drug or supplement standards from an outside certifying body.
  2. Site visits and inspection of manufacturing facilities.
  3. Third-party analysis for independent verification of active ingredients and contaminants.
  4. Products have some basis in basic science, clinical trials or have a long history of use and safety.
  5. Use of clean products, free of fillers, binders, excipients, flow agents, shellacs, coloring agents, gluten and lactose and other allergens.

While I do not officially endorse any company, I do believe some have risen to the top of the supplement industry and can be safely used to help support and enhance your health.

Unfortunately many of these products are designed for therapeutic use by physicians, nutritionists and other health care practitioners and are unavailable to the average consumer.

That is why I have decided to offer them to my patients here at The UltraWellness Healthy Living Shop.

It is also a way for you to help change medicine by supporting research and education in Functional Medicine.

In that spirit, we offer you our services, suggestions and recommendations.

Wishing you endless health and happiness,

Mark Hyman, MD
