The Truth About Supplements

When it comes to eating, it is very important to have a diet full of nutrition. Unfortunately, in today’s society having a nutritious meal can be near to impossible. First of all, you have to get all your vitamins, minerals, amino-acids, carbohydrates, and fats every day. And secondly, here’s the reality, even if you had time to cook all of your meals there is still a chance your food may be in deficient in nutrition. The reason being, it is hard to tell where your food comes from. Is it organic? Is it GMO free? And even if it is, what was the soil’s mineral content? Who knows? Don’t get me wrong, I highly suggest eating as clean as possible. I’m also not trying to discourage you. However, my point is that in today’s age, nutritional supplements can play a big part in your health journey.
Here is an important piece of data in regards to supplements: NOT ALL SUPPLEMENTS ARE THE SAME. First of all, there are different grades of supplements. The lower quality will be found at generic stores where high quality can only be prescribed to you by a doctor or a nutritionist. It’s worth the extra time and energy to see a doctor or nutritionist in order to get access to high quality supplements.
Secondarily, the next thing is to differentiate they type of supplements. They can be either synthetic supplements or whole food supplements. The important thing to know is Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) is not the same as a Whole Food Vitamin C Complex. Whole food Supplements contain other minerals called co-factors. These co-factors help the body recognize the vitamin and which aides in its absorption. So the amount of a vitamin actually in a whole food supplement will be less than that of a synthetic one because it will be absorbed much easier and will most likely work a lot better.

As an attorney, I have had the opportunity to work with many health care professionals over the years. Dr. Horning truly cares about his patients and is extremely enthusiastic about his life’s calling. I do not hesitate to refer my clients to Dr. Horning for health and well being especially when they are complaining of headaches, back or shoulder pain or food allergy sensitivity. In this era of heightened health awareness, Dr Ben is an invaluable partner to reaching your best self.

I came in with TMJ, Acid Reflux and was on 4 different medications. I’ve been coming in for about 3 months and I feel better than ever and I’m off all my prescription medication. The doctor has helped me get my life back and everyone asks what I’m doing different because it shows. I had been on some of these medications for 20 years and I’m finally free and on natural supplements. Thank you to Dr. Horning and his wife for all of your knowledge, support and kindness.

Dr. Horning is amazing. Before my first visit, I had trouble breathing and a cough that wouldn’t go away. I had myself on a strict diet and wasn’t able to work out any further than a simple walk and my previous chiropractic had me on 9 different supplements. Now I’ve been able to work out with no problems, other than my motivation at times… and able to enjoy tacos once again! It’s been about two years and I’m still feeling good with my usual check-up every 6-7 weeks.
