Nutraceuticals
Bolster Health and Wellness at Any Age
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!
Dr. B constantly strives to carry supplements that are of only the highest quality, but are not expensive or cost prohibitive. Our supplements are vegetarian capsules, gluten free, soy free and contain no GMO’s.
BioTE® DIM®
The DIM supplement from BioTE Medical is intended to support optimal absorption of nutritive ingredients. When you take the BioTE 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.
BioTE® A.D.K
The A.D.K supplement from BioTE Medical 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.
BioTE® Probiotic
BioTE Probiotic 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, BioTE 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 BioTE 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.
BioTE® Omega 30 Plus
The 30 essential fatty acids (EFAs) in BioTE’s Omega 30 Plus supplement 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 BioTE’s 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. BioTE’s Omega 30 Plus can also have a hormone stabilization effect that, in tandem with bio-identical hormone replacement pellet therapy, can be life-changing.
BioTE® Iodine PLUS
The Iodine Plus supplement from BioTE Medical helps promote effective thyroid function by delivering iodine directly to the thyroid gland. Because of its tendency to bind with certain foods, some food-borne iodine can prove inaccessible to thyroid hormone production, which can cause an iodine deficiency. Iodine is necessary for effective thyroid function because the gland converts it into two hormones—triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4)—that help regulate the body’s metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. This supplement also contains the essential ingredients selenium and zinc, which are also used by the thyroid to create the T3 hormone.
BioTE® Whole Food Multi
The whole food multivitamin supplement from BioTE Medical 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 bioavailability of several ingredients critical to health. These include vitamins A, B12, C, D, E, K, Thiamine, Biotin, Manganese, Selenium and more.
Methyl-Guard Plus
Thorne Research
The Methyl-Guard Plus supplement from Thorne Research may help balance the body for both men and women. Methylation – the addition of a methyl group (CH3 – one carbon attached to three hydrogens) to another molecule – is an essential and vital biochemical process within the human body that is involved in a large number of biochemical pathways involving neurotransmitters, detoxification, cardiovascular health, eye health, muscle health, bone health, and redox balance.
Meriva 500-SF
Thorne Research
Meriva is a unique, patented curcumin product, that has undergone the most clinical research of any curcumin-related antioxidant product. Curcumin is a potent natural antioxidant found in the orange pigmentation of turmeric. It has been shown to offer numerous health benefits, including support of the body’s joint, muscle, eye, liver, GI tract, prostate, cardiovascular, and nerve functions. Its anti-inflammatory properties further support cardiovascular function by helping maintain the body’s optimization of cytokine production. Meriva’s phytosome-based coating allows the capsule’s contents to be delivered into the small bowel for optimal efficacy of its anti-inflammatory properties. Over-the-counter (OTC) antioxidant preparations tend to lack this efficient delivery mode to deliver their formulations into the small bowel, which thus tends to limit their effectiveness.
