Mineral Supplementation in Greenville, SC
Mineral Supplementation at IHP Greenville. Dr. Hendry, DAOM — functional medicine, root-cause diagnostics, personalized care. Call (864) 365-6156.
Mineral supplementation at Integrative Health Partners is based on functional medicine testing revealing specific mineral deficiencies that are contributing to chronic symptoms. Minerals are cofactors for thousands of enzymatic reactions — magnesium alone is required for over 300 enzyme reactions including ATP production, protein synthesis, and neuromuscular function. Subclinical mineral deficiencies are among the most commonly missed and most impactful drivers of chronic conditions.
How Mineral Supplementation Works
Mineral assessment at IHP typically includes: magnesium (RBC magnesium — more accurate than serum), zinc (serum or RBC), selenium (for thyroid and immune function), iron studies including ferritin (for iron stores, separate from hemoglobin), and copper (for patients taking zinc, which depletes copper). Supplementation is targeted to identified deficiencies at therapeutic doses from professional-grade sources.

Why Dr. Hendry for Mineral Supplementation
Dr. Hendry's functional medicine testing approach identifies mineral deficiencies using optimal reference ranges — catching deficiencies that conventional normal ranges miss. His prescribing uses forms with superior absorption (glycinate, malate, bisglycinate chelates) rather than cheap forms with poor bioavailability.
