Nutritional Supplements / Orthomolecular Medicine

In orthomolecular medicine missing nutrients like vitamins, minerals and trace elements are combined or administered separately. The American biochemist Linus Pauling coined first this concept and turned his findings to himself in order to compensate for nutrient deficiencies.

Nutrient deficiencies may be due to an unbalanced diet, by the regular consumption of preserved foods, by stimulants such as alcohol, cigarettes or caffeine, but also by various drugs. It should be noted that even only a slight defect which persists for a long period, can damage the body.

 

Signs of such a defect recurring colds, reduced performance and lack of concentration can be.Cardiovascular diseases and cancers may be the result of many years, even if only minimal undersupply.

 

Such deficiency has another problem resulted: Oxygen free radicals that come from environmental pollution or in the body are also formed by the body itself, can no longer be neutralized by the body. You have a cell-damaging and are at the emergence of a number of chronic diseases involved with. they can thus trigger irreversible damage and even to cancer.

 

Application:

We offer special blood tests that can detect a slight lack of trace elements already. To assess individual exposure to free radicals, which can be very different for each individual, we have created a questionnaire. To compensate for the lack of vitamins, minerals and trace elements and neutralize the oxygen radicals that we have in our practice special infusion therapy (eg vitamin B12, C, E, folic acid, magnesium, zinc, selenium) or recommend the intake of special preparations.
