Nutritional Supplements

Do you spend 30 minutes reading labels in the vitamins aisle?  Make it a Clinician's Choice™.

 

The providers at Baystate Ob/Gyn Group, Inc. care about your health.  It has come to our attention that many of our patients use nutritional supplements, and often seek our advice to do so.  We have investigated the supplement market to better inform ourselves about the options available to you, and to provide you with well-informed guidance regarding nutritional supplements.  After much investigation we have chosen Clinician's Choice™, a reputable nutritional supplement company with patient support and education, an FDA approved lab, and nutritional supplement formulas that make sense.  

 

Clinician's Choice™ offers a number of compatible supplement formulas to meet your individual health needs.  Each formula targets specific health concerns, many of which are common in women from adolescence to post menopause.  Unlike most over-the-counter vitamins, Clinician's Choice™ products have been developed and supported by healthcare professionals and are only available through a healthcare professional.  Rather than being left alone at the vitamin counter at the local drugstore, you and your healthcare professional at Baystate Ob/Gyn Group, Inc. can discuss your individual needs and the supplemental plan that would work best for you.  The price of the supplements reflects our administrative costs involved with distributing and purchasing the product from Clinician's Choice™.

Why are Clinician’s Choice formulations different from other nutritional supplements?

bulletAll Clinician’s Choice™ products are formulated by physicians and scientists for physicians and healthcare providers.
bulletThe formulations are based on the most recent medical literature including: The Journal of American Medical Association, The New England Journal of Medicine and The Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
bulletMost products are formulated to be taken more than once a day because studies show that vitamins and phytonutrients are better absorbed when taken twice or more per day.
bulletAll Clinician’s Choice products are formulate to disintegrate in the stomach within 30 minutes to ensure maximum bioavailability. Therefore, all products meet USP absorption and method 2040 disintegration standards.
bulletOnly the highest quality raw materials available are used in Clinician’s Choice™ products, and they contain no artificial preservatives.
bulletAll formulations are shelf life tested to ensure that what we say on the label is really in the bottle, even on the last day of its shelf life.
