Orthomolecular Therapy

From the perspective of orthomolecular medicine, diseases always lead to a biochemical imbalance in the body but this may be offset by an appropriate, healthy diet with inclusion of dietary supplements.

Substances such as vitamins, minerals, trace elements, essential fatty acids and amino acids and other “nutrients” are considered body-friendly, risk-free and salutary in comparison to exogenous substances such as plant extracts, medicinal herbs and synthetic drugs. Normally, the orthomolecular medicine recommends a significantly higher daily intake of vitamins and minerals.
