Nutraceuticals are foods containing health-bolstering effects so significant that they are seen to have medicinal benefit. These specifically formulated vitamins and supplements can be taken accompanying Hormone Pellet Therapy, or as part of a nutrient-enriching dietary regimen. Be sure to ask Dr. Brzezinski about which Nutraceuticals are right for you at your next appointment!
Note: some of Dr. B’s recommended Nutraceuticals have changed in brand, but the formulas have remained constant. Many formulas previously carried by BioTE are now supplied by Common Sense Supplements. The label may have changed, but the commitment to high quality ingredients and effective results has not!
Common Sense Supplements
The ADK supplement from Common Sense Supplements is intended to support bone health, but many other biological systems throughout the body may receive positive benefits as well. Vitamin A is a powerful antioxidant which may help support immune health. Vitamin D3 is reported to lower cholesterol and may improve absorption of calcium. Low levels of Vitamin D3 have also been tied to high blood sugar in women. Vitamin K2 may help prevent heart disease by reducing calcification in the arteries, and does this by optimizing the body’s metabolism of calcium and Vitamin D3, which further helps preserve bone density as we age. The combination of these vitamins can have a hormone stabilization effect that, in tandem with bio-identical hormone replacement pellet therapy, can be life-changing.
Common Sense Supplements
The DIM supplement from Common Sense Supplements is intended to support optimal absorption of nutritive ingredients. When you take the DIM supplement, food may be absorbed better by the digestive system and the increased nutrition can impact the effectiveness of many biological systems throughout the body. DIM is especially known for helping women optimize estrogen metabolism and can have a hormone stabilization effect that in tandem with bio-identical hormone replacement pellet therapy can be life-changing.
Common Sense Supplements
The whole food multivitamin supplement from Common Sense Supplements may be able to lessen the effects of exhaustion, low mood, poor digestion or other symptoms of hormonal imbalances. It contains a patented complex that enhances bio-availability of several ingredients critical to health. These include vitamins A, B12, C, D, E, K, Thiamine, Biotin, Manganese, Selenium and more.
Common Sense Supplements
Belly Buddies Probiotic from Common Sense Supplements is designed to help balance digestive health in men and women. Containing a complex of probiotic bacteria and a coating that helps deliver the capsule’s active contents into the small bowel for optimal efficacy, Belly Buddies Probiotic not only can improve digestion, but works to improve biological functions throughout the body. Over-the-counter (OTC) probiotics lack efficient delivery into the small bowels. And with the bowels representing about 70% of immune function, OTC probiotics often fail to fully deliver on their expected benefits. The delivery of the probiotic into the small bowel promotes optimum digestive health, and also helps block inflammation, raise energy levels, and boost serotonin for improved mental and emotional well-being. The improvement in digestion may further boost the body’s production and recirculation of hormones.
Common Sense Supplements
The 30 essential fatty acids (EFAs) in Omega 30 from Common Sense Supplements are believed to help support cardiovascular health, improve vitality, and may help protect against heart disease and stroke. This supplement has also shown promise in helping men and women lower their incidence of depression, ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), dementia, and arthritis-related symptoms such as joint pain and inflammation. Omega 30 Plus represents an upgrade of the more common Omega 3, which contains Omega 3 DHA and EPA fatty acids, the two most common EFAs found supplements. This means that taking one small Omega 30 Plus gel cap is like taking 12-16 Omega 3s. Omega 30 Plus can also have a hormone stabilization effect that, in tandem with bio-identical hormone replacement pellet therapy, can be life-changing.

Nutraceuticals are pharmaceutical-grade standardized nutrients and are treated differently in different countries. In the United States, most nutraceuticals are regulated as dietary supplements and food additives by the FDA. They can also be called functional foods and in Canada, for example, there is no distinction between functional foods and nutraceuticals and are considered a product with a physiological benefit or protective capacity. The definition and quality of nutraceuticals in other countries may vary. All Nutraceuticals are produced in FDA outsourcing compound pharmacies located in the United States and are held to the highest potency and quality standards.
