At Golden Isles Functional Medicine, we’re committed to providing the best tools and resources to support your health - and nutraceuticals are a cornerstone of that commitment.  Whether you’re new to the term or have been using nutraceuticals for years, this page will help you understand what they are and why we’ve made them an integral part of our practice.

​

What Are Nutraceuticals?

The word "nutraceutical" combines "nutrition" and "pharmaceutical," referring to products derived from food sources that provide both nutritional and therapeutic benefits. These include vitamins, minerals, herbal extracts, amino acids, and other supplements that support health and wellness.

​

Unlike conventional medications that often target specific symptoms, nutraceuticals work with your body to promote overall health, prevent disease, and address the root causes of health issues.

​

Why We Use Nutraceuticals at Golden Isles Functional Medicine

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. Nutraceuticals align perfectly with this philosophy because they:

• Support the Root Cause: Nutraceuticals address imbalances and deficiencies that may be contributing to your health concerns.

• Provide a Non-Pharmaceutical Option: Many patients prefer natural interventions over pharmaceuticals when possible. Nutraceuticals offer a safe, effective alternative.

• Promote Long-Term Wellness: By supporting your body’s natural healing processes, nutraceuticals help you maintain health and vitality over time.​

​

Our Approach to Nutraceuticals

We’re selective about the products we recommend because quality matters. The nutraceuticals we offer are:

• Evidence-Based: Backed by science to ensure they’re both safe and effective.

• High-Quality: We only use trusted brands that meet rigorous standards for purity and potency.

• Family-Tested: These are the same products we trust for our own families, so you can feel confident using them for yours.
