Do You Understand The Importance of Choosing Practitioner-Only Quality Products for Your Health and Wellbeing?

In today’s changing health industry, it’s more important than ever to choose Practitioner-Only products when aiming to improve your health. From supply chain ethics, to quality control, environmental factors we consider a lot when we choose the premium quality practitioner-only quality supplements to use with our community. Not all supplements are created equally and we pride ourselves on choosing options that best meet our values and your healthCARE needs. As a naturopath with over five years of University training and 22 years of clinical experience, I’ve seen the risks associated with self-prescribing complementary medicines. While natural medicines are often low-risk, they are NOT no risk — especially for patients already diagnosed with complex health concerns or on any medication from the oral contraceptive pill to antibiotics or steroids and immunotherapy.

All too often, I see patients combining supplements they’ve bought online or over the counter with medications, unaware of the potential interactions. What may seem like a simple multivitamin, magnesium powder, probiotic, immune or hormone support can easily cause issues if you don’t understand the mechanisms of action, metabolism, or elimination pathways of every ingredient. For example, blood pressure medication, blood thinners, mood medications, thyroid treatments, antivirals, and antibiotics all have potential drug-herb/nutirient interactions that can worsen your health if not carefully managed.

One supplement that causes frequent issues in my clinic is collagen powder. People assume it’s harmless, but when taken without understanding its interactions, especially with some health conditions, it can create complications. The same with probiotics. Just because a product is natural doesn’t mean it’s automatically safe for everyone.
