Nutritional Supplements
At NYC Total Health, your well-being is our top priority, which is why we rely on Fullscript as our primary source for prescribing supplements. Fullscript provides a wide range of professional-grade, third-party certified supplements, ensuring both their efficacy in treatment and the value you receive for every dollar invested. Our commitment to quality is unwavering because we understand the importance of offering supplements that truly make a difference in your health.
We also believe in personalized care. There's no one-size-fits-all protocol for health conditions, as the underlying causes of diseases vary from person to person. That’s why we carefully distinguish between supplements that manage symptoms and those that address root causes. While short-term symptom management is essential, our protocols aim to gradually reduce dependency on these supplements by targeting the deeper issues.
We frequently upload easily understandable protocols on Fullscript that are accessible to patients with invitations from NYC Total Health. These cover key areas such as weight loss, stress management, hormonal imbalances, low energy, and GI care. Please note that certain protocols are exclusively available to our registered and established patients.
Why Avoid Amazon or Walmart for Supplements?
While buying supplements from Amazon or Walmart may seem convenient, the risks far outweigh the convenience. Leading experts, like Dr. Mark Hyman and Dr. Josh Axe, along with numerous reports, have raised red flags about purchasing supplements from these sources. Here’s why:
-
Counterfeit Products and Contaminants: A 2019 U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) study revealed that many supplements sold by third-party vendors on platforms like Amazon contain counterfeit or contaminated ingredients. You may think you’re buying a high-quality product, but it could be filled with harmful substances.
-
Inconsistent Formulations: Supplements sold through unregulated sources can have drastically different formulations from what’s listed on the label. The Wall Street Journal uncovered multiple cases of mislabeling, which means you’re not getting what you pay for – or what your body needs.
-
Expired and Tampered Products: Multiple investigations, including from Forbes and Consumer Reports, found that expired supplements or tampered packaging are common on these platforms. Expired products lose their potency, and tampered packaging raises safety concerns.
-
Poor Storage Practices: Dr. Mark Hyman has warned that improper storage of supplements – common with third-party sellers – can degrade their quality, leaving you with ineffective products. Supplements are sensitive to temperature and humidity, and when they aren’t stored correctly, they lose their effectiveness.
-
Unreliable Product Sourcing: Many large retailers don’t have direct oversight over the supplements sold by third-party vendors, meaning there’s little quality control. As Dr. Josh Axe advises, trusting these sources could lead to receiving supplements that are expired, counterfeit, or mislabeled.
At NYC Total Health, we trust Fullscript because they guarantee professional-grade, third-party certified supplements that come straight from the most reputable manufacturers. Fullscript ensures that the products are stored and handled in a way that maintains their potency and effectiveness, so you know you're getting exactly what’s on the label, every time.
Your health is too important to leave to chance. By choosing supplements from trusted sources like Fullscript, you ensure the quality, safety, and effectiveness of what you’re putting into your body. Say no to the risks of buying from Amazon or Walmart, and trust the care we provide at NYC Total Health – where your health always comes first.
