Dr. Nicole Cain explains why supplement quality matters for brain health. The FDA barely regulates them, so you need to check what you're actually getting: kava root versus other plant parts, DHA per softgel, methyltetrahydrofolate versus folic acid. Buy medical-grade, third-party-tested products from trusted makers.

Hi, I'm Dr. Nicole Kane. I'm the creator of the Anxiety Breakthrough program Create youe Happily Ever after with the ACT Method as well as the Gut Psychology program and all of the contents you'll find@drnicolecane.com and I'm an authority in integrative approaches for mental health. My team and I have helped thousands of people from around the world recover from anxiety and take back their health. And by using my programs, books and engaging in our Mastermind groups. And you can get results too. Welcome to our supplement shop. You might be wondering, with so many supplement options out there, who you should trust for the best supplements for brain health and mood support. And does quality and the source of your ingredients really matter? If you can buy a fish oil from the grocery store down the street for $10, why would you spend more elsewhere? My mission is to get you results and part of that includes getting you the right nutrients to heal your brain and support your mood. Today I want to talk with you about three key things to keep in mind when it comes to buying supplements for you and your family. These are sourcing integrity and cost. When it comes to the pills you're buying and putting into your body or your family's quality and source are extremely important. Supplements are an unregulated industry. Unbeknownst to many, the FDA does not actually regulate supplements at all. That means that the supplements you're buying online or at your local grocery store or pharmacy could literally have anything in them. This also means that the same guy standing on the corner selling Rolex knockoff watches could also be making bottles of supplements and selling them to you online. An example is Kava Kava which is known for its ability to effectively stop anxiety. The part of this plant that has the anxiety stopping benefits is the root, but an individual or a company could put out any part of the kava kava plant and call it kava kava, meaning you might not be getting what you think you are and it might not have the anxiety stopping qualities that you're looking for. Because of my medical license I am able to offer medical grade supplements that you cannot get over the counter. This means that they come from high integrity manufacturers, they are higher quality and often have higher dosages and they always have a good manufacturing process seal which means that every single ingredient has gone through rigorous third party testing to ensure that they are pure and potent and that you are getting exactly the quality, strength and forms that they say they have. I have tried every single product on my website myself as well as my husband and even members of my family. I also have clinical experience working with literally thousands of clients from around the world with mental health concerns and I have hand picked products that get results. Dealing with anxiety or depression can be debilitating, frustrating and expensive. I know, I've been there. I remember having anxiety so severe that I would do anything to make it stop. I spent thousands of dollars on handfuls of supplements that didn't do a thing for me. I don't want you wasting your time and your money or your hope. I want to ensure that anyone who's coming to me looking for answers, who is working my programs and who is showing up for themselves day after day has access to high potency, high quality supplements that are truly going to make a difference in their life and health. When it comes to the price of supplements, I want you to think about something called cost per unit. The supplements on my site are pharmaceutical grade, which means the concentration is much higher than you will find on other sites or over the counter. For example, the fish oil on my website has 750 units of DHA in one softgel and other fish oil products from the health food store will have approximately 250 units of DHA in three softgels. That means that you will have to take nine capsules of the other brand in order to get the 750 units of the DHA in mine. So when you look at the cost of a bottle of mine versus the cost of others, make sure you're looking at cost per unit. Another example is my multivitamin has 1,360 units of methyltetrahydrofol which is the highest quality form of folate on the market. This is compared to another product found at a standard grocery store that contains 400 units of folic acid, which means that you would have to take three times more of the grocery store product in order to reach the units of my product. But you're also getting three times the amount of food coloring, additives, preservatives and are at an increased risk of side effects because of the problematic form of the folate. If you struggle with depression, anxiety, brain fog, or if you simply want to increase the health of your brain and mood, you're in the right place. You likely need supplementation to support you and to help you to turn the page and overcome the illness and get your health back on track. The supplements in my shop are not only for people with severe mood symptoms, but they are also there for those who are looking to achieve optimal brain health. My heart is to share hope and to help you get the tools you need to get your life back. My team is standing by to answer any questions you have in the private Facebook group. So pop by and introduce yourself. Thank you for watching. And as always, here's to your next chapter.
