Whole Food Supplements in Greenville, SC

Whole food supplements use concentrated food-derived vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients rather than synthetic isolated compounds. At Integrative Health Partners, Dr. Hendry incorporates whole food-based supplementation when appropriate — particularly for patients with chemical sensitivities, compromised detoxification capacity, or conditions where food-matrix cofactors enhance efficacy. He balances whole food supplements with targeted synthetic compounds where the evidence base is clearest.
How Whole Food Supplements Works
Whole food supplement prescribing follows the same clinical process as other supplementation: identify deficiencies and therapeutic targets, select the most evidence-appropriate form of supplement (whole food vs. synthetic vs. liposomal vs. injectable), and prescribe at therapeutic doses from quality manufacturers. Whole food supplements are particularly valued for B-vitamin complexes, vitamin C with bioflavonoids, and mineral complexes where the food matrix improves absorption.
