Drug Interactions

Our industry leading rules engine identifies and automatically corrects for any nutrient depletions caused by your prescriptions and over-the-counter medications.

There is a growing body of evidence that many prescription drugs cause the depletion of critical nutrients in our bodies. If unchecked, this can lead to serious impairment of our future health. Further to these concerns, there is research indicating that certain nutrients actually improve the actions of some drugs, minimizing adverse drug reactions and enhancing health benefits.

In 1978, doctors wrote 4.4 million prescriptions for cholesterol lowering drugs. By 1999, the number had soared to 92.2 million - most of them for Statin drugs (such as Lipitor). How many of those doctors were aware that these drugs deplete Coenzyme Q-10, an important nutrient to heart health? If they did know, they could have supplemented with this critical nutrient and augmented health while minimizing risks.

Our rules engine’s thousands of drugs and 165+ specific drug categories represent the most current review of drug-nutrient interactions available today, and allow you to benefit directly when you participate.

When you participate within our Targeted Health Promotion system, you ensure:

• you are benefiting from the latest information on both complimentary and adverse drug-nutrient interactions.
• actual nutrient doses are safe and consistent with those studied with any medications you are using.

We address these potential problems by:

• Blocking any nutrients that are contraindicated by your health conditions or lifestyle
• Preventing nutrient over-dosing, by researching those proven safe and blocking higher amounts
• Blocking any nutrients that have been found to react adversely with your medications
• Defining what nutrients are depleted by certain prescriptions and ensuring they are included within your nutrient recommendations
