A Note About Our Trusted Supplements

The supplements* we use at Holistic Bee Nutrition & Wellness are concentrated whole foods, contained in a tablet, capsule or powder. They are prepared in such a way that preserves the active enzymes that make them work as nature intended. These real food supplements have been designed to match the needs of the body; more specifically, they will be matched to YOU according to your individual Nutrition Response Testing analysis results.

The importance of supplementation: The nutrients found in these supplements are ones that you are either not getting in your current diet, or ones that your body is struggling to digest. Often times, it is due to the lack of quality in the foods available in grocery stores and restaurants today. Since it is hard to find all the nutrients we need in our diet, supplements can make up the difference.

Whole food vs. synthetic: An example of a whole food could be carrots. Carrots are high in Vitamin A Complex. A “complex” is something made up of many different parts that work together. Synthetic Vitamin A does not contain the whole “Vitamin A Complex” found in nature. So, if we were looking for a food high in Vitamin A, carrots might be one of our choices. If you were deficient in any of the components of Vitamin A Complex, one would be wise to seek out a supplement that was made from whole foods that were rich in this complex – not from chemicals re-engineered in a laboratory to look like one little part of the Vitamin A Complex that has improperly been labeled as “Vitamin A.”

The problem with over-the-counter vitamins: They are pharmaceutically engineered chemical fractions of vitamin structures reproduced in a laboratory. The label “natural” is often misleading when applied to nutritional products, as the F D A will approve such labeling based on a small percentage of naturally sourced components. Such products don’t correct existing imbalances and may introduce new ones.

Why spend the money: I would go so far as to say that it is imperative to use high-quality supplements. They are able to give you the bio-available nutrition that is readily accessible for your body to use and digest. When supplements aren’t properly digested, they are excreted; meaning that healing isn’t occurring and your money is being wasted. That is why the supplement lines I carry are high-quality, bio-available supplements meant to work with your body (meaning that they are formulated differently to aid in digestion) and contain well-rounded nutritional elements designed to work with the body as a whole.

Your individual nutritional program: Combining nutritional recommendations with specific supplementation will create a well-rounded program specifically designed to get to the root cause of your health issues. By making small, doable changes to your diet and lifestyle over time, your body will have the support it needs to begin healing. Your detox will be monitored through scheduled appointments and recommendations from your practitioner will be discussed at that time.

*Depending on your specific case, other nutritional or homeopathic supplements in liquid form may be suggested that will work with your body to aid in its natural healing.
