For your convenience we have set up an online portal where you can set up an account and order your Metagenics vitamins online. Of course, you can always come in to the office to re-stock, but this is a convenient option if you can’t get by or live out of town.
Vitamins and supplements aren't created equal.
Alison Wellness Clinic provides a variety of vitamins and dietary supplements at our Huntsville, Alabama, location. Our recommendations are always customized to best serve your nutritional needs.
We recommend several Metagenics products as foundational support to a patient’s health, as well as a variety of vitamins and supplements that help strengthen the immune system, reduce stress, support weight loss, and contribute to many other areas of health wellness. Metagenics manufactures medical grade vitamins with a scientific staff, labs, equipment, time, resources, and strict procedures necessary to achieve top quality products. If it’s on the label, it’s in the bottle—guaranteed!
We quarantine each raw material then test each thoroughly to support quality, safety, and efficacy. On formulas requiring especially sensitive or perishable ingredients, we conduct additional testing—above and beyond the testing required of us by the Food and Drug Administration's current good manufacturing practices. Our attention to detail here is unmatched in our industry.
Our goal is to use highly absorbable nutrient forms so the body has a greater chance of using it the way it should, to promote health. This is particularly important with certain key nutrients that may be poorly absorbed, or for people who have absorption concerns. And the dosages we recommend are based on scientific research that documents the effectiveness and predicted safety when used as intended.
We don’t have a “one form fits all” policy. Not every ingredient should be made into a tablet or a capsule. So the ingredients often decide the delivery form for each product. All of our products disintegrate within a short time, to release ingredients for optimal absorption.
