Why does Express Chiropractic Believe Standard Process creates the best supplements?<\/span><\/h2>\n

In short… Quality and Convenience.<\/span><\/p>\n

The only way a supplement can benefit the body is if the body is able to actually assimilate<\/em> or break it down to extract and use the nutrients.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Standard Process produces high-quality products that work the way nature intended. They grow 80% of the plants they use in their nutritional supplements on their family-owned, certified organic farm.<\/span><\/p>\n

Their goal is to protect nutrients in their natural state for potency and assimilation (most if not all of the big popular brands have a very low assimilation or usability rate).\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Not all Supplements are Created Equal
\n<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Unfortunately not all supplements are created equal and some are downright dangerous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite efforts to regulate the vitamin supplement industry through the FTC and FDA, a 2010 US Government Accountability Office report revealed that an analysis of 40 dietary supplements for the presence of lead, arsenic, mercury, cadmium, or pesticides found trace amounts of 1 or more of these contaminants in 93%.<\/span><\/p>\n

And enforcement is another issue. In 2013, the FDA inspected only 416 supplement manufacturers for cGMP adherence, representing 10% of the estimated 4000 manufacturers covered by cGMP regulations.<\/span><\/p>\n

In other words, the supplement industry is still the wild west in many aspects.<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do I need to take supplements in the first place?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Health experts agree that a healthy diet is the largest factor for maintaining a healthy body, strong immune system and reducing diseases such as diabetes, heart disease and arthritis.<\/span><\/p>\n

High quality supplements are designed to help fill the void where a proper diet is lacking.
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Why doesn’t Express carry this line of products in the office?<\/span><\/h3>\n

We don’t have the space or the time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Express Chiropractic & Wellness was created to be less complicated than an office where insurance and appointments are needed. It is also designed to keep a steady flow through the office and not cost an arm and a leg to get the care you need. <\/span><\/p>\n

By having a smaller sized office we keep our fees lower. <\/span><\/p>\n

By not taking extra time to educate patients on supplements that would be sitting on our shelves, we ensure the office flows as time efficiently as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does SP carry pet supplements?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yes, they have a select few supplements for overall health and joint health for dogs and cats. We love their pet products!
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

How quickly will I receive my order?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Typically a patient order will ship within one to three business days.<\/span><\/p>\n

Does Standard Process collect sales tax?<\/span><\/h3>\n

They are required to follow the laws in each state and collect taxes as required.<\/span><\/p>\n

Are there shipping charges?<\/span><\/h3>\n

Yes, and most orders are charged a flat rate of $10 for standard shipping regardless of weight or size of the order. We recommend you buy 2 of each item you want and try to order every couple of months or even quarterly.
