Do I need vitamins and supplements? 

Eating a healthy, balanced diet isn't always practical or easy. You may not have access to high-quality foods or know which foods best benefit your body’s unique needs. Fortunately, the team at Creekside Wellness can guide you toward an individualized vitamins and supplement plan. 

Many people don’t know they’re deficient in key vitamins and minerals. It’s important to tell your provider if you have symptoms including:

• Unexplained hair loss
• Joint pain 
• Persistent fatigue 
• Changes in vision 
• Irregular heartbeat 
• Wounds that heal slowly 

If you have any of these symptoms, you could have a nutrient imbalance. Your provider may recommend micronutrient testing to check levels in your white blood cells, including vitamin B12, vitamin D, and calcium.

They can then plan a vitamin and supplement treatment to improve several aspects of your health. 

If you’re pregnant or breastfeeding, your provider may also encourage a supportive vitamin and supplement plan. 

What are the benefits of a vitamins and supplement plan?

Although you can purchase supplements over the counter, you’re guessing at your body’s specific needs. At Creekside Wellness, your provider helps you select vitamins and supplements that are the best quality, dosage, and the most effective. 

Benefits of a vitamin and supplement plan include:

• Improving osteoporosis
• Alleviating inflammatory bowel disease 
• Treating medical conditions like inflammatory arthritis
• Pain relief 
• Treating prediabetes/diabetes 
• Improving overall energy and mood levels

• Preventing or correcting nutritional deficiencies 
• Reducing your risk of acute and chronic diseases

If you have a chronic disease or are on a specific medication, your provider ensures that the vitamins and supplements you take don’t cause an adverse reaction. 

What vitamins or supplements may I need?

You can take supplements in the form of tablets, capsules, gummies, powders, chewables, or liquids that may include one or multiple ingredients like minerals, vitamins, herbs, amino acids, probiotics, or enzymes. 

Depending on your needs, your provider may recommend taking:
