This page can be used to order nutritional supplements that have been critically evaluated and recommended by our office:  Further information regarding supplements in general will be added to this website shortly.  For now, it can be used to order items that have been evaluated by our office and determined to be pure and of highest quality.  These products are not available in stores and need to be obtained through a health care provider office such as ours.  They have specific uses in obtaining optimal health and for specific medical conditions.  In most instances these are products which you may have obtained directly from our office.  You may continue to obtain these products directly from us, but there are a few reasons why utilizing this internet purchase option may be preferable for you. 

• first of all, although we try, we don't always have all the products all the time.  We try to keep most of the important items on hand but occasionally we will run out for a variety of reasons.  We may have an unexpected large order by a single individual or several people at the same time.  The product may be on 'back order from the supplier, etc. etc.

• It may be less expensive for you to obtain these products directly from the manufacturer.  We sell the products at our office at retail plus tax and our shipping/handling costs.  Products are oftentimes less expensive when ordered directly.  This will save you money.

• Sometimes the manufacturers make products available on an 'autoship' basis.  This is decidely more convenient when it comes to nutritional supplements.  Many of these nutritional supplement products are items that are taken regularly and consistently.  When they run out they need to be replaced.  By ordering products on a monthly 'autoship' basis the new supply arrives before the last bottle is finished.  This allows continuity and saves a lot of hassle.  These autoship arrangements can always be canceled at any time should circumstances change. Additionally, it saves the time and trouble of driving to our office or the store each month.

Products from the following companies (Body Wise International and Metagenics) are currently available utilizing this website.  I anticipate that a few other companies will have these arrangements available in the future.   Click on the appropriate link below to go to these ordering websites
