Nutrition

Your body has an amazing potential to heal and protect itself. However, it must have the proper nutrients to perform these functions effectively. Diets common today often do not provide the essential “building blocks” for your body's healing, corrective, and protective functions. If you present with symptoms or conditions indicating that you may be lacking certain nutrients in your diet, Dr. Krohse may recommend dietary changes or the appropriate nutritional supplements to correct that nutritional deficiency.

In their unique manufacturing facility, Standard Process continues the tradition of producing nutritional supplements which provide vitamin and mineral complexes, trace minerals and enzymes.
