You are probably thinking, nutraWHAT?
Like pharmaceuticals, (drugs) nutraceuticals are, according to Merriam Webster, a foodstuff (as a fortified food or dietary supplement) that provides health benefits in addition to its basic nutritional value. Nutraceuticals have been shown to provide a variety of health benefits including combating free radicals, providing anti-inflammatory activity, helping maintain cholesterol levels and circulation, lessening menstrual cramping, easing joint pain and more.
At Pace Family Chiropractic, our services include one-on-one nutritional counseling and nutritional supplementation in addition to food sensitivity testing and lab testing for various gastrointestinal or metabolic conditions. We work with our patients to ensure that they are eating the right foods and that they are getting optimum nutrition. In addition, we offer a superior line of nutraceuticals by nutraMetrix, for those who need additional nutritional support, or natural alternatives to drug therapy for various health conditions.
I will be writing on some specific nutraceuticals that offer great health benefits in future blogs. Watch for them.

Until next time,

Dr. Sarah
