Supplements (like prescription drugs) are powerful tools to be taken seriously regarding safety, quality, effectiveness, and relevance. Our doctors are trained in using specific, high-quality, safe-tested “professional grade” supplements that are third-party-validated and produced in GMP-certified facilities, as well as made by manufacturers that largely only retail through licensed medical providers. The supplements we prescribe are indicated to work for the conditions they support, like treating microbial imbalances in the gut, addressing nutrient deficiencies, or balancing blood sugar. We are highly selective and cautious in prescribing supplements. However, we also find they are more effective than conventional drug therapies alone.While legally no dietary supplement or
nutraceutical can claim to “treat or cure” a disease, the supplements we recommend are evidence-based to address or support the lifestyle-responsive conditions we treat every day at Spring Endocrinology. Like any drug, any supplement can have side effects, should be monitored carefully, evaluated for negative reactions, or stopped if not efficacious.While we offer supplements for sale, our members are not required to purchase supplements through us. We do encourage members to get their supplements through us via our online store, our clinics, or our
Fullscript store because we can guarantee the supplement quality and to offer convenience for members.Our doctors are never incentivized financially to recommend supplements. Members should feel confident their doctor or health coach is only recommending the supplements they feel are best for you.
