Nutritional Supplements
Supplement Recommendations
We recognize that optimal health isn't always achievable through diet alone. For many individuals, targeted nutritional supplementation plays an important role in supporting overall wellness.
Food First — Supplements Second
Supplements are designed to complement a healthy diet, not replace it. Nutrition begins with whole foods. That said, many people have gaps in their nutritional intake that benefit from additional support.
Before beginning any supplement regimen, we recommend consulting with your healthcare provider. You will also have access to personalized supplement recommendations as part of your care.
Why Quality Matters
Unlike pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements are not regulated by the FDA, and many commercial brands do not pursue third-party testing or verification. This means the purity, potency, and accuracy of ingredients can vary significantly between products. This is why we are intentional about the brands we recommend.
First Choice: Metagenics
Our preferred supplement store is Metagenics — a trusted leader in evidence-based, pharmaceutical-grade supplementation. When looking for a supplement, we encourage you to start here first.
Metagenics products are:
NSF Certified — verified for ingredient safety and label accuracy
USP Certified — meeting rigorous standards for quality and purity
Third-party tested — ensuring no contaminants or undisclosed additives
Our dedicated Metagenics store offers professional-grade products with the convenience of autoship options, refill reminders, customer support, and fast shipping — all in one place. As a Live Well 365 client, you receive a store-wide discount on all Metagenics products through our designated link.
Additional Resource: Fullscript
When a product isn't available through Metagenics, Fullscript serves as our secondary resource. All supplements distributed through Fullscript meet established Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards, ensuring consistent ingredient sourcing, accurate labeling, and product integrity.

Finding the Right Supplement for You
These resources are tools to help guide informed decisions — but your provider is always your best starting point. Browse with confidence, and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions about which products may be right for you
