Use of Vitamins and Herbs

Below is a list of problems that can sometimes be helped with vitamins and herbs.  The opinions expressed are my own and are based on literature, research and clinic experience.  These opinions may not agree with all experts in the field and the reader is cautioned to use good judgment before consuming vitamins and herbs.  They are not intended to treat medical conditions or to take the place of conventional medicines.  Always tell your doctor if you are taking vitamins or herbs.

Mike Buffington, M.D.

The products listed below are specific brands that are considered well made.  There may be other brands on the market of comparable quality.  In regard to manufacturing, freedom from toxic ingredients such as heavy metals and absorption once consumed are important.
