How are these products different from what I buy in the market or drugstore?

Clinician's Choice products are only available through a healthcare professional. You have the assurance of knowing that your healthcare provider has chosen the appropriate supplements for your health needs and stage of life. All Clinician's Choice products have been developed by physicians to the highest OTC pharmaceutical standards. This means you get only the highest quality nutrients with maximum absorption.

When will I start to feel the positive effects?

Great question. The best answer? Now and forever. Some of our products will produce measurable results, as in helping lose unwanted weight, relief of pain and swelling, or providing more energy. However, many of our products are "invisibly effective," as for example, our multivitamins, which provide your nutrient starved body with the finest essential nutrients vital for a healthier life. The benefits of all Clinician's Choice products are realized through an appropriately planned, ongoing regimen. Keep in mind that the prevention of a serious health issue is a tremendous positive benefit - a benefit that will show up in a longer, healthier life.

Should I take any other supplements?

Because Clinician's Choice products are designed to provide you with comprehensive solutions for all of your nutritional needs, you don't need to take any other brand of supplements. By designing our products as solutions, we actually save you money by reducing your need for single ingredient formulations as well as preventing you from over-supplementing with any one ingredient.

How does the price compare with products I can buy elsewhere? Aren't all vitamins basically the same?

There are two parts to this answer. Clinician's Choice products are competitively priced with other premium products found at retail and in catalogs. The second half of this answer lies in effective absorption. Is your body truly getting what you paid for? If you are only absorbing 30 percent of a lesser-priced, lower-quality product, yet Clinician's Choice delivers 95 percent of higher quality ingredients, aren't you getting more value for this investment in your health?

Why can't I take these vitamins once a day?

Don't be fooled by the myth of the "one-a-day" vitamin. It is virtually impossible to deliver all the essential nutrients to your body in one daily tablet. Clinician's Choice supplements were created to deliver essential nutrients to your body when it needs them the most. We don't want to overload your body with what it doesn't need, while simultaneously starving it when it desperately needs a boost.

What exactly is the Supplement Your Life Program?
