Plant substances from around the world are used for their healing effects and nutritional value. Customized blends are available at St. Albert Naturopathic Clinic for your convenience and to maximize your healing potential.
Clinical Nutrition examines the relationship between diet and health. Optimal nutrition is far more than counting calories or following the Canada Food Guide recommendations. Special diets are often used.
Nutritional supplements are vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, or other natural substances prescribed to treat or prevent symptoms and health conditions. Product are usually ingested in capsule, tablet or liquid form.
We sell pharmaceutical grade products at our clinic and we recommend specific high quality products from health food stores as part of our patients treatment plans.
If a patients’ body is severely depleted, vitamins and minerals taken orally can take many weeks or months to have an effect.

However, in these situations nutrients can be injected intravenously to begin to restore a system to normal levels in two or three visits and the healing can commence more quickly.
