My patients and readers frequently ask for my opinion on the best nutritional supplements
and other health products.
After investigating a wide range of products and companies, I've
selected what I consider to be some of the highest quality formulas that
I can recommend to my patients, readers, family and friends.
In health food stores, I recommend Natural Factors and Preferred Nutrition's excellent products, including their WomenSense line. I often recommend other specific products as I find them, and list them here (see Product Directory).
In many cases, I couldn’t find exactly the right formula, so I decided to design
my own line to match my exacting specifications. The result is Dr. Cass’ Better
Balance line of formulas for
mind, mood, memory and recovery.
Additionally, I have chosen Tango
Advanced Nutrition as sole distributor of my line and I am delighted to personally recommend their outstanding herbal products. Tango's formulas are advanced, modern versions of traditional Chinese herbal "essence formulas" and I have found them to be effective for a variety of significant health issues.
