Researchers have found that over 80% of Americans do not consume anywhere near the recommended five servings of fruits and vegetables required daily for optimum health. Americans get enough vitamins in our diet to avoid severe deficiency but not enough for optimum health. It is well recognized today that good nutrition can ward off many chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis and arthritis among others. A well balanced diet is always the most important but in today's fast food world with high fat-sugar foods, over processing soil depleted low nutrition foods and bad habits it is almost impossible to get adequate nutrition through diet alone. Even the American Medical Association since 2002 has reversed a twenty-year anti-vitamin stance and now recommends supplementation each day with a multiple vitamin.

At the Ortman Clinic we do recommend nutritional products to promote the health of our patients. There are thousands of products available on the market today and we have worked at recommending companies and products that are of the best quality and manufactured with high standards. There is a good saying: "An expensive vitamin is one that doesn't work"! We will recommend only quality nutritional products for your health and safety.
