Targeting Personal Needs
Our Basic
Supplement Plans were developed for those people who want to get the
most out of life. The following
questionaire is designed to help you choose the basic supplement plan
that best
enhances your current diet and lifestyle. Answer as OBJECTIVELY as
possible, then total up your score and match your score
to the appropriate category. (Note some questions give 20 points). If
you have
special health needs or concerns you might
consider “targeted nutrients” which we can help you select if you
like.
You are aiming to mimic what ideally
would be
in our foods, which is why our selections contain such a wide variety
of nutrients and trace minerals. Please note we are in no way
suggesting that supplements are a substitute for an optimal diet, which
we hope you will strive to achieve once you learn just what an optimal
diet is and how you can best obtain it.
