Tony Mills MD Natural Formulations
I believe the body naturally wants to be healthy. I believe oftentimes we inadvertently put obstacles in its way or don’t provide the body with the essential elements that it needs, and this keeps us from achieving optimal health. Healthy eating, getting plenty of exercise, getting plenty of rest, avoiding excess weight, avoiding excess alcohol… all these things help us in achieving a healthy balance in our life. These are all integral keys to good health. In addition however, there are key vitamins, minerals, and nutritional supplements that can help to keep the machine that is your body running smoothly. My Natural Formulations contain the ingredients that I think are essential for living a long and healthy life.
Taking care of the body more holistically with vitamins and nutritional supplements is very much at the forefront of the minds of both physicians and patients. The available options however are overwhelming. There is a seemingly endless array of vitamins and nutritional products all claiming to be necessary for good health. How can a person know what to choose and what may be beneficial? In science and in medicine, we answer questions by doing clinical research. While much research has been done, in this arena, much more needs to be done but here is what we know now. When the scientific method is applied to analyzing the benefit of nutritional supplements or so-called nutriceuticals, many products fall short and fail to demonstrate any benefit. Many products make extensive claims without any research whatsoever to support those claims. Fortunately for the consumer the FDA is stepping in to more closely regulate the nutriceutical industry. In the future, any claims of efficacy by a nutriceutical product will have to be substantiated by clinical research and data.
There are five mainstay components of the Natural Formulations line:
- DailyMale – a men’s multivitamin
- NeuroLogic – a neurocognition and brain support formulation
- HeartHealth – aimed at optimizing cardiovascular health
- BoneBuilder – a concentrated vitamin D formulation
- CardioSupport – a high concentrated omega preparation for heart and brain
What Makes My Natural Formulations Different From Other Supplements?
First, the benefits of my Natural Formulations are all substantiated in clinical trial data. No false claims are made, no exaggerations of benefit are purported. This is a line of nutritional supplements that you can trust in and believe in.
Second, I have spent many years researching the quality and the production of nutritional products. Due to the lack of oversight in the past by the FDA, many natural health supplements were literally made in someone’s garage. One of the reasons that so few physicians recommend vitamins and nutritional products is that they feel they cannot guarantee the quality of a product that is not dispensed by prescription at a pharmacy. How is either the physician or the consumer supposed to decide between the hundreds of seemingly identical products that are available?
My father always told me, at the end of the day, your reputation is all that you have. I stake my own reputation as a physician, a scientist, and a researcher on the quality of the Natural Formulations line.
What Nutritional Supplements Are Proven To Be Beneficial?
Though some products make promises they can’t keep, many other nutritional products do demonstrate substantial benefits. It is this group with proven efficacy from which my Natural Formulations line has evolved. As a physician and a scientific researcher, I look for proven benefit from a treatment before I offer it to my patients. This proof is best found in randomized clinical trials. Ideally, clinical trials should not be conducted or supervised by those who stand to significantly benefit from a certain outcome of the trial. Independent impartial conduction of these trials by an organization such as the National Institutes of Health increases the validity of the findings and also contributes to the strength of a recommendation that stems from the trial. The elements that I recommend in my Natural Formulations line have each been subjected to intensive clinical research, conducted and supervised by the NIH and other independent organizations, and the data has been rigorously scrutinized. These products have been proven to offer significant benefit for the conditions for which they are recommended. If they were not proven to be of benefit, as a physician, I personally could not recommend them.
