Supplements :: The White House Wellness Center

Research shows that 80-90% of the population does not achieve the Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) of vitamins and minerals from food alone. As well, RDA levels for each nutrient are only intended to guard against severe deficiency, such as scurvy with vitamin C. The RDAs are not sufficient to prevent degenerative disease; slow the biological process of aging; maximize well being or better manage certain health conditions.

Targeted nutritional supplements can counter the genetic time bomb of aging and help keep your mind and body higher functioning for the longest period of time possible. Think of it as insurance to combat diseases that occur as we age. To live a healthy and long life, there are several lifestyle choices to be made: watching your diet and maintaining a healthy weight; exercise to keep your muscles and bones strong; reducing your stress; getting adequate sleep and to take some essential supplements.

All adults should be on a high quality multivitamin and essential fatty acid supplement which has several health benefits from reducing cardiovascular risks, improving immune function to reduce cancer risks to supporting brain health. Specific supplements may be required for bone or joint support; additional cardiac or brain support; hormonal balance; gastrointestinal support; detoxification and to manage certain health conditions.
