Nutritional Supplementation

Nutritional supplementation is the foundation in supporting a healthy body and mind!

Nutritional supplementation can be used not only to address nutritional deficiency but also as a therapeutic agent. The body is made up of chemicals and chemical reactions, and many of these processes rely on adequate nutritional status.  We are trained in recognosing deficiency signs, and in understanding the biochemistry behind normal body functions. Our job as naturopaths is to provide all of the foundation building blocks so that the body can function to its full capacity. 

There are many conditions that may cause malnutrition such as digestive disorders like gluten intolerance, We aim to resupplement the body with the nutrients that it is lacking as a result of these conditions. This is also beneficial when a patient is taking a particular medication that may be causing a nutritional deficiency. It is remarkable how many pharmaceutical side effects are as a result of nutritional deficinecy.  

Not all nutritional supplements are created equal, and unfortunately there are a lot of ineffective products available. There are many forms that each nutrient can come in, and these vary in strength and bioavailability. We encourage our patients to seek professional advice before self prescribing any nutritional supplements from the supermarket or pharmacy, no matter how harmless they may appear.

We have a large range of nutritional supplementation available to our clients. Although we do dispense requested repeat remedies our range of nutritional supplementation is only available by Appointment. This is because our products are of high quality and potency and subsequently by law 'practitioner prescribe only'.
