FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: Should I be taking nutritional supplements?
A: In most cases, Yes. Even people who have the strictest dietary regimin require some nutritional support. The soil in which our fruits and vegetables are now grown is not as rich in nutrients as it once was, and now a days, with busy schedules both at work and at home, many of us are not getting even close to the recommended daily allowances of vitamins and minerals. That being said, the quality of the nutritional supplements you decide to take is a key factor in whether or not you are "wasting" your money. We promote Metagenics supplements because of the quality and care taken in producing their products as well as the strict regulations they adhere to during the manufacturing process.

Q: Ok, so I should be taking a supplement, but what do I take?
A: For basic nutritional support we recommend a daily multivitamin as well as an essential fatty acid supplement (sometimes referred to as "fish oil". The dosage and frequency of these supplements will depend on your current nutritional habits. Other nutritional supplements may be recommended on a case by case basis depending on your gender, age, & health status.
Q: What are meal-replacements, and do I need them?
A: Meal replacements are usually found in bar or shake form. They are used either to completely replace a meal, or as a snack . Keep in mind that we recommend 5-6 "meals" per day. :) Whether you need them or not depends on how good you are at planning your meals for each day. If you find yourself rushing from one place to another so quickly that you often forget to eat....you should consider using meal replacements. Please keep in mind that all meal replacements are not created equal. The meal bars and shakes produced by Metagenics are designed to be low-glycemic, high in protein, high in dietary fiber, as well as high in vitamin/mineral content. Metagenics has even created options for people with soy and/or dairy allergies/sensitivities. Other bars can be full of sugar and other ingredients that will leave you hungry and unsatisfied. Your consultant will analyze your current dietary intake to determine what meal replacements, if any, should be used.
