Your Health
An estimated 35% of all Americans purchase supplements and that this results in sales totaling about $21 billion per year. These numbers are staggering and continues to rise despite multiple reports questioning whether supplements work. See a study like the one referenced here (Bjelakovic et al., 2007) that studied the use of antioxidants and found no effect on mortality (death).
For every study that concludes supplements DO NOT have an effect there is a study that says supplements DO have a beneficial effect. Once again, see the following study (Holick, 2007) in the New England Journal of Medicine that provides convincing justification for the use of vitamin D to reduce cancer risk.
The difficulty for the everyday consumer is which study should they believe? At Metabolic Health Labs, we want to build a relationship with you, the consumer, so that you can trust our expertise and knowledge to help you make these very important decisions.
To begin this process, we wished to focus on the core determinants of YOUR HEALTH: METABOLISM.
Metabolism: The Essence of Life
Metabolism is the act of using nutrients to generate energy for every cell in the body. We, at MHL, have shown that nutrients are powerful determinants of how your genes are regulated and therefore how your cells use and produce energy, the essence of life. This has a direct impact on your health and wellness. We are dedicated to providing the consumer with access to nutritional products that have a solid, evidence-based scientific foundation and a positive influence on your genes.
The products offered by Metabolic Health Laboratories are the best values in nutritional supplements available today, with the highest quality of critical nutrients for optimal metabolism and health.
