Here at Chiropractic First we believe that being adjusted regularly and proper nutrition are the cornerstones of good health. For this reason we had to think long and hard about the nutrition brands that we carry. After thorough research into the efficacy and quality of the brands available, Doctor Andrea and I decided to carry four high quality brands: Standard Process, Integrative Therapeutics, Inc., Nordic Naturals and Anabolic Laboratories. These brands meet or exceed the pharmaceutical grade.

Q: Pharmaceutical grade what is that you ask?
Pharmaceutical grade means that these nutrition supplements are manufactured under strict requirements governed by the federal government. What this means to you and I is that these products are guaranteed quality.

Q: Well aren't all nutritional supplements regulated by the federal government?
Contrary to popular belief the vast majority of nutritional supplements are not regulated meaning that what they state is present may not be or not in the proportions as stated on the label. This is very unfortunate for today's healthcare consumer who may be spending large amounts of money on products that are mostly fillers.

Q: How do you and Doctor Andrea know so much about nutritional supplements and what makes you experts?
Well experts we are not, we are learning more and more everyday however we have extensive background in nutrition. Both Doctor Andrea and I have received a thorough education in the nutritional aspects of health, through our chiropractic education. We each have a total of 270 hours devoted entirely to nutrition that is a combined total of 540 hours between the two of us. In addition to my doctoral work I have also written a comprehensive thesis on the nutritional benefits of herbs while completing my bachelors degree at the University of Maryland. This amount of education makes us a valuable asset to you and your family's health. So the next time someone offers to sell you nutritional supplements be sure to ask: what sort of education they have in nutrition? Is their product regulated by the federal government or cGMPs, SOPs and Validations protocols?

Q: Tell me more about the nutritional companies you carry.
