Functional Nutrition and Nutraceuticals in Sioux Falls, SD
Functional nutrition goes beyond simply filling nutritional gaps; it’s about using high-quality, targeted supplements and nutraceuticals to support the body’s natural healing processes and optimize overall health. At Essential Health Chiropractic, we prioritize supplements that meet the highest standards of quality and purity, ensuring that you receive the most effective support for your wellness journey.
What is Functional Nutrition?
Functional nutrition is a personalized approach to health that considers each person’s unique needs, lifestyle, and health goals. Instead of a one-size-fits-all solution, functional nutrition uses supplements to address root causes and restore balance to the body. This often includes specific nutrients, probiotics, herbal formulas, and other evidence-based nutraceuticals designed to support various body systems, such as the immune, digestive, and nervous systems.
By focusing on quality ingredients, purity, and bioavailability, functional nutrition ensures that every supplement is effectively absorbed and utilized by the body. This approach differs from conventional supplement use, which may rely on synthetic fillers or lower-quality forms of nutrients.
Why Quality Matters with Functional Nutrition Supplements
Not all supplements are created equal. Many over-the-counter products lack the potency, purity, or bioavailability needed for optimal health support. When choosing supplements, it’s important to look for:
Third-Party Testing: Ensures that the product is free from contaminants and matches the label’s claims.
Practitioner-Grade Quality: Higher standards of purity, potency, and formulation compared to standard retail supplements.
Bioavailability: The ability of a supplement to be effectively absorbed and used by the body. Nutraceuticals with enhanced absorption are more efficient at delivering therapeutic benefits.
Free from Fillers and Additives: Avoid supplements with artificial colors, flavors, or unnecessary fillers that can interfere with nutrient absorption.
At Essential Health Chiropractic, we recommend NutriDyn supplements because they meet these criteria and undergo rigorous quality control to guarantee effectiveness.

The “Fabulous 5” Essentials for Optimal Health
While every individual’s supplement needs are unique, Dr. Mike has found that most people can benefit from the foundational support provided by the “Fab 5”. These essentials include:
Multivitamin
A high-quality multivitamin fills in nutritional gaps that may be missing from even the healthiest diets. It provides key vitamins and minerals to support energy, immunity, and overall health.
Product Recommendation: NutriDyn Essential Multi — A comprehensive, high-quality multivitamin that is formulated for optimal absorption and purity.
Fish Oil (Omega-3 Fatty Acids)
Omega-3 fatty acids support heart, brain, and joint health, and they have potent anti-inflammatory properties. Look for fish oils that are molecularly distilled to remove contaminants and ensure purity.
Product Recommendation: NutriDyn Omega Pure EPA-DHA 600+ — A potent source of EPA and DHA, with third-party testing for purity.
Probiotic
Probiotics help maintain a healthy gut microbiome, which is essential for digestion, immunity, and even mental health. Choose a probiotic with a diverse range of strains and a high CFU count.
Product Recommendation: NutriDyn Ultrabiotic Complete — Contains 21 billion CFUs of a comprehensive seven-strain blend of beneficial bacteria to support gut health and digestive function, inflammatory response and immune function.
Vitamin D3 (August to May)
Vitamin D3 is critical for bone health, immune support, and hormonal balance. Many people in northern climates, such as Sioux Falls, experience low vitamin D levels during the fall and winter months.
Product Recommendation: NutriDyn D3 5000 with K2 — Combines vitamin D3 with vitamin K2 to support calcium absorption and cardiovascular health.
Fruits & Greens Powder
A concentrated source of antioxidants, phytonutrients, and digestive enzymes, a fruits and greens powder provides the benefits of a diverse array of fruits and vegetables in a convenient form.
Product Recommendation: NutriDyn Fruits & Greens Immune Support — Available in various flavors, this blend supports energy, digestion, and immune function.
These supplements form the foundation of a balanced, functional nutrition plan, providing essential nutrients that support overall health and well-being.
Additional Targeted Nutraceuticals for Health Optimization
Depending on individual needs, other targeted supplements may be recommended to address specific concerns such as inflammation, hormonal balance, or detoxification. These may include:
Curcumin: Known for its potent anti-inflammatory properties.
Magnesium Glycinate: Supports muscle relaxation, nerve health, and sleep quality.
CoQ10: An essential coenzyme for cellular energy production and cardiovascular health.
For personalized guidance on which nutraceuticals are best for your health, schedule a consultation with Dr. Mike at Essential Health Chiropractic. We believe that a well-rounded approach to supplementation is key to achieving long-term health and vitality.
