I keep a dispensary so that when a supplement is worth taking, you can get a well-made version of it without guessing. That's the whole purpose — not a product line, and not something you need in order to be my patient.
Most people arrive either taking nothing, or taking a dozen things they can't quite account for. What I aim for is a short list, each item with a reason attached and a rough sense of how long you'll be on it.
Supplements are regulated as food, not medication, so nobody verifies the label before it reaches a shelf. The brands here submit finished products for independent analysis.
Ordering through the dispensary means the product goes from manufacturer to distributor to you. Large marketplaces commingle stock from many sellers — which is how counterfeit and mishandled product gets in.
A lot of retail products contain a fraction of the amount actually studied. If a supplement is worth taking, it's worth taking at a dose shown to do something.
Everyone gets one, whether or not you're a patient. It increases with how closely we're working together.

No. Supplements are one tool among many, and plenty of patients do well without them. I recommend them when there's a specific reason to, and I'd rather you take three things that matter than twelve that don't.
Supplements are regulated as food rather than medication, so what's on the label isn't independently verified before it reaches a shelf. Third-party analyses have repeatedly found products that under-deliver on the active ingredient or contain something not listed. Amazon in particular has a documented problem with diverted and counterfeit stock, because inventory from multiple sellers is commingled.
It isn't a regulated term, so on its own it means very little. What matters is what sits behind it: third-party testing of finished products, verified raw material sourcing, and manufacturing under current Good Manufacturing Practices.
Often, yes — particularly when a supplement is recommended for a specific condition. Coverage varies by plan, and some administrators ask for a letter of medical necessity, which I'm glad to write.

That's the right question, and it's the one a storefront can't answer. It depends on your history, your labs, what medications you're on, and what you're actually trying to change. That's a conversation, not a product page.
Supplements can interact with prescription medication and aren't appropriate for every situation, including pregnancy and some medical conditions. Check with your own clinician before starting something new.
You don't need to be a patient, and nothing here is required in order to work with me.
