Vitamin & Supplement Recommendations
Why Dietitians
Make Supplement Recommendations?
Did you know that there are several products available through various channels that may not meet Canadian standards and may not have gone through the same reliable checks as products from more reputable companies? As a result, there could, for example, be less of the active ingredients than claimed, or the product could contain “filler” ingredients that are undesired or harmful to your health. Some of the harmful ingredients to look out for include Red Dye 40, hydrogenated oils and magnesium silicate.
Our registered dietitians help clients choose research-based supplements and vitamins that meet Canadian standards.
Our dietitians personalize your supplement and vitamin recommendations based on your overall health, nutrition goals, medical conditions, current intake, food preferences, and blood work.
