Nutritional Supplementation
I am proud to offer many types and brands of nutritional supplements, but I especially like Standard Process because they are derived from whole foods.
As part of your personalized treatment program, based on the results of your nutritional elvaluation, I am likely to include some of these vitamins or supplements.
Standard Process Whole Food Supplements
Standard Process, or SP, is a different type of vitamin and supplement company. Unlike traditional vitamins and supplements, this company's supplements are made of whole foods.
Patient Testimonials
"I came to Dr. Minond because I was having joint problems. Specifically, my knees hurt almost constantly. I knew it was because I was overweight.
Instead of just telling me to lose weight, Dr. Minond treated the pain in my knees.
Because he was so gracious with me, I finally summoned up the courage to ask if he could help me with my diet.
He was kind enough to recommend some nutritional supplements for me to try. He then worked with me to create a diet. Surprisingly, it was a diet I could live with."

What are Whole Food Supplements?
Whole food supplements are supplements that contain all the nutrients and micronutrients that are found in a food source prior to processing. Generally, when creating a vitamin or nutritional supplement, the company making the vitamin or supplement simply attains the selected vitamins and minerals they are planning to use.
For example, when creating Vitamin A tablets, a company may look to multiple food sources and derive the A vitamin from these different sources. The Standard Process method involves the using of whole plants, botanicals, and extracts and concentrations of animal tissue.
By using this whole food practice, SP is gaining not only the nutrients contained in foods, but the micronutrients as well.
What are Micronutrients?
Micronutrients are the nutrients that we need in small quantities in order to live our lives to the fullest. They include nutrients such as copper, zinc, iron, cobalt, manganese, and chromium, among others. It is estimated that even among people who eat what is considered a healthy diet, that over two billion people world-wide do not get the proper amount of micronutrients that are needed for healthy body function.
Standard Process Vitamins and Supplements
The average multivitamin contains around 33 ingredients, broken down into components such as iron, riboflavin, and iodine. The average Standard Process vitamins contain thousands of nutrients and micronutrients. One example is the multivitamin named " Catalyn."
Catalyn contains all the vitamins and minerals you are familiar with, plus some you aren't. Instead of singling out the nutrients, Catalyn contains whole foods such as bovine liver and kidney, pea vine, mushroom, and carrot root.
Did you know that carrot root alone has over 200 known nutrients and micronutrients. That one ingredient has over six times the number of nutrients found in a standard multivitamin. Those 200 nutrients and micronutrients are just the ones that can be identified. Even scientists do not know the full amount of trace micronutrients that are found in whole foods.
Standard Process Supplements
Standard Process supplements provide you with the all the nutrients contained inside a food source because they contain the whole food. Instead of man-made, synthetic vitamins, when you take SP vitamins and supplements, you are getting all the ingredients that Nature put into the food. For example, the wheat germ found within these supplements contains the entire wheat germ, not just parts of the wheat germ.
Standard Process Cleanse
Often when patients come to see me, part of the treatment I use is Integrated Nutrition. The use of the Standard Process Cleanse may also be employed. Purification is simply cleaning out your body of impurities and toxins.
Everyday, you are exposed to toxins, no matter how careful you may be. External toxins such as pollutants, chemicals, and pesticides are in the very air we breathe.
Our bodies were designed to naturally eliminate these toxins through our waste system, but our bodies were not designed to cleanse the amount of toxins that we may face on a day-to-day basis.
Often, when we feel rundown and tired, it is the result of too much toxic build-up in our bodies. Exposure to toxins can result in the following:
- Insomnia and fatigue
- Congested head
- Problems with the digestive system
- Foggy mental processes
- Decrease in libido
If you consume a considerable amount of processed foods, non-organic foods, soda, artificial sweeteners, coffee, grilled foods, tap water, or alcohol, your diet is contributing to the toxins carried within your body.
The purification process will not only have a positive effect on your metabolism and body biochemistry, it will also eliminate a large part of the toxic load your body is carrying. Almost immediately you will notice:
- Increased vitality
- Clearer skin
- Shinier hair
- Clearer thinking
- Better, more restful sleep at night
The SP Purification is not a diet. It is a lifestyle process and program that will enable you to live a healthy, balanced life.The purification process may involve the use of the Standard Process Cleanse. The SP Cleanse is a compound derived from 20 different whole food ingredients designed to aid the body in the removal process of daily toxins.
It is available in dairy-free, vegetarian, and gastro-fiber blends. When used in conjunction with a diet that we design together, you will be on track to a happier, healthier you.
