We recommend nutritional supplements as an adjunct to dietary and lifestyle modification. This approach is central to the well-researched and science-based practice of functional medicine, which all of our professional staff have studied. Supplements can be purchased through Functional Medicine Center of the Carolinas or Fullscript, Wellevate and Wholescripts (online supplement dispensarys) or you may purchase the specific recommended supplements on your own. We use suppliers that are vigilant in their care, storage and shipping of pharmaceutical grade supplements.
We will provide you with an estimate of the cost of the supplements that we recommend for your management plan. Although you are not required to purchase the recommended supplements from us, they are an integral part of your personalized treatment. With a few exceptions, we do not sell nutritional products of similar quality to those that are widely available over the counter. We recommend high-quality nutritional products from the top nutritional research laboratories in North America and Great Britain, and we price them to cover our costs of providing them. We primarily use Fullscript and Wellevate for most of our recommendations, but at times there are specific products that are not available and can be purchased through our office.
Supplements can typically run between $150-400 a month during the active phase of your healing process. There is a large variation in cost and length of treatment depending on the severity and duration of your conditions and your individualized treatment protocol. Our overall goal is for you to receive all of your needed nutrients from a whole foods diet and to avoid taking supplements on a long-term basis.
