Dr. Katie's Favorite Supplements
I get a lot of questions from friends, family and patients about my favorite supplements and where to find them.
If your town has a health food or supplement store, consider starting there and talking with the staff. Most health food store workers are passionate about their products.
Likewise, over time, I have found favorite brands that are reliable and widely accessible.
My go-to brands are: Gaia, Nature’s Way, Pure Encapsulations and Herb Pharm.
One easy way to identify a reputable brand is to look for the USP symbol on the label. This independent review certifies the ingredients listed and assures the product meets FDA Good Manufacturing Practices, free of harmful contaminants.
Unfortunately, I have found that Amazon is not a reliable place to buy herbs due to the large number of third-party suppliers.
In the spirit of ease, I have a link to a reliable online store through my favorite herb company Emerson Ecologics Wellevate. You can save 20% off retail price!.*
For dosing, please come see me in the office. Your health and safety is my top priority!
