Nutrition is Key, Wherever You Practice
We face challenges as we seek to upgrade our patient care to include recommendations for nutrient supplements for the patients who need them. As clinicians, we need speed, reliability, and actionable solutions. Supplement-Sciences.com has created complete “done-for-you” supplement plans on the Fullscript secure ordering platform. These link to nutrient and supplement articles emphasizing a “Food First” approach to supplements along with PubMed references to validate supplement facts.

Tailored For The Needs of Clinicians
The Supplement-Sciences.com website and Fullscript practitioner resources are integrated in such a way as to meet the unique needs of clinicians working across the entire spectrum of healthcare settings. Supplement Sciences supplement templates give you quick supplement resources in any healthcare setting–outpatient, hospital, SNF, rehab, or private practice.
Avoid Conflicts of Interest: Appearance Matters
Healthcare employers usually have a strict prohibition against any activity that would generate a personal profit from your work with patients. By avoiding any financial relationship with our dispensary practitioners, a Supplement Sciences practitioner account allows clinicians to freely use the vast educational resources built on the Fullscript platform without any risk of the appearance of a conflict of interest.
The Challenges of Recommending Supplements
If you are like most healthcare providers, you haven’t paid much attention to the topic of supplements. It’s overwhelming. It’s an unregulated industry full of charlatans and marketing hype. There are hundreds of supplements you don’t have time to learn about. The headlines are overblown. The science keeps changing. And, more than anything, you are focused on getting your patients to eat better–“Food First”!
And yet, our patients believe passionately in natural and nutrition-based approaches to their health problems. They want to avoid drugs and often with good reason. Some are extremely savvy and scientifically literate. Others desperately need our help to distinguish between supplements with proven science and the mountain of nonsense where the supplement is harmless but isn’t worth the cost.
And then, there are all the supplements where you read a great study showing that the supplement works, and then check another source that says, “There’s no good evidence….”. But it’s probably news to most of us that in healthcare “most interventions (94%) were not supported by high-quality evidence.” [PMID: 35447356]
This is why it is so critical to have a resource like Supplement Sciences, where the emphasis is on revealing the science that does exist today. We cover the evidence for each specific benefit of each supplement as it relates to each health issue. This puts the clinician and the consumer in the driver’s seat by providing readers with comprehensive information that can be evaluated for its relevance to the individual.

The Supplement-Sciences.com Website
- Quick Search Results: No more time-consuming Google searches. From the front page of the Supplement-Sciences.com website, the user can search all of our 460+ articles. Whether you are looking for all the facts on a single supplement or every supplement to consider for a particular health problem, you will immediately be directed to all the articles that match your search.
- Actionable Purchase Recommendations: Within each supplement article, Fullscript template, and favorites list are specific products that were chosen after a thorough search of the entire formulary. They are selected based on the optimal form of the supplement as well as dosage and cost considerations.
- PubMed Documentation: The way each article and Fullscript template is written provides links directly with PubMed references. This means that when patients print out articles to consult with medical providers about supplements, there will be links to PubMed documentation for the rationale of each supplement they are considering. This is a great way to educate physicians who might otherwise poo-hoo the value of nutrient supplements.
- Drug-Nutrient Interactions: Clinicians need the ability to check drug-nutrient interactions quickly. This is why each Supplement-Sciences.com article prominently displays drug-supplement interactions before presenting products for purchase. We make these easy to check by linking to these articles from within each of the Fullscript templates.
- Ad-Free Experience: Consistent with your busy clinical work, this website’s objective is to provide clear and quickly accessible supplement education. Other consumer-focused websites, on the other hand, are designed to sell ads.
