I want to see less Marketing and more Science overall.
I have been in the field of orthomolecular nutrition for over 40 years. During that time, I have seen tremendous advancements in nutritional therapy for both the prevention and improvement of chronic degenerative disorders. Unfortunately, I have also seen the industry take some less than positive turns. In 1991 I founded the Institute of Nutritional Science, with the purpose of researching and developing nutritional formulations to address a wide variety of conditions. The Institute is also dedicated to making the latest nutritional information available in a simple and easy to understand way. Over the years we have been able to assist a wide variety of companies in developing cutting-edge nutritional formulas as well as providing full-scale education programs for their consumers.
As the supplement industry has grown exponentially over the last two decades, more and more people have become aware of the power and benefits of proper dietary supplementation. With this growth however, marketers have seen a golden opportunity to make enormous amounts of money, often playing upon people’s desires and desperation to find better health. This has resulted in a period when many products were produced not by research, not by science, but rather by marketing departments, whose sole interest was to sell more product.
The supplement industry has evolved and through the science of orthomolecular nutrition has been able to provide benefit in the areas of diet, exercise, dietary supplementation, and stress management techniques to millions and millions of people. Today, we have checks and balances to help ensure both the quality and efficacy of products being developed. The good manufacturing practices act helps to keep supplement companies accountable for what goes into their products. The FDA helps to ensure that false claims are kept to a minimum. This is an exciting industry and one that continues to hold promise for millions of people through the concept that when you provide the body with what it needs at every level, it is in the best possible position to heal and maintain itself. Wellness is a natural state for the human body, and it will always attempt to return to that state in spite of the abuses that we pile upon it.
