"All of the products on progressivehealth.com are formulated with quality in mind. Our team of naturopathic physicians closely analyzed each formula to find the best balance of effective ingredients. I personally take Advecia for hair maintenance, Acktiva coral calcium for long term health, and Balance Point Multivitamin to help fulfill my daily nutritional needs."

What is the most common form of anemia? By far, the most common form of anemia worldwide is iron deficiency anemia. [top] How many different kinds of anemia are there? There are close to 100 different varieties of anemia. [top] How does drinking an excessive amount of alcohol lead to anemia? Alcohol has a direct toxic effect on the bone marrow, the soft tissue occupying the cavities of many bones, including the breastbone. Marrow is of two types: red and yellow. Red marrow is found in spongy bones, yellow is found in the cavities of the long bones, which leads to decreased red cell production. People with alcoholism are at risk for anemia both from internal bleeding and vitamin B deficiencies. [top] I work with chemicals such as benzene. Am I at risk of getting aplastic anemia? Aplastic anemia is exceptionally rare. However, if benzene is spilled and inhaled it can cause this life-threatening condition. It's important to follow all safety precautions when in contact with this chemical. [top] I'm expecting twins. Am I at greater risk for becoming anemic? Pregnancy increases the risk for anemia because of the body's greater demand for folic acid and iron. The risk for women with multiple births is about 27%. [top] I believe my child may be anemic. How important is it to seek help? You should never self-diagnose anyone with anemia. The symptoms can be indicative of a number of serious diseases. In children, severe anemia can impair growth and motor and mental development, possibly irreversibly. [top]

Every person's body chemistry is different and results vary. Some notice dramatic results within the first few days, others notice gradual differences over a period of time. The average time span for starting to achieve results reported by our customers is between 30-60 days of taking our products. Due to the fact that our products are all-natural, there is no way to accurately determine the outcome of taking our products for every customer. Our products are made from herbs, vitamins and minerals, and you will achieve the greatest results when combined with a healthy diet and light to moderate exercise. [top] As with all nutritional supplements, there is potential for reaction. Progressive Health ensures that all potential conflicts and side effects are listed on the product information pages. However, we strongly recommend consulting with your physician if you suffer from any pre-existing conditions (other than Crohn's), known allergies, or if you are currently taking any medications. Based on customer feedback, order history, and regular product overview, there has yet to be a report of any serious side effects resulting from the implementation of Progressive Health products into existing treatment programs. [top]
As with any supplementation program, it is wise to keep using the products on a daily basis to maintain results. [top]
Our products are manufactured in a GMP (good manufacturing practices) compliant facility. Our facility is also certified to produce pharmaceutical grade products. We have naturopathic physicians that work in conjunction with our product formulators to come up with the formulas for our product. Every batch is tested for safety and assigned a batch number which is printed on the bottle. We keep product samples from each batch for 10 years for testing and questions. If you ever experience an unusual reaction, stop taking the product and send us the batch number so we can test the sample for safety. [top] [top] We do not have any free samples at this time, but we do have a risk free 6 month money back guarantee if you would like to place an order. [top] Although there have been no clinical studies on Progressive Health products as a whole, there are literally thousands of clinical studies that have been completed on the individual ingredients. We use the information for these individual studies on the ingredients to formulate our products. [top] All of our products are formulated according to independent clinical studies that test the individual ingredients. We then cross reference those studies with even more references. Once a formula has been born, it is then carefully evaluated to make sure the ingredients are in the right balance for your body. Our company utilizes corporate offices in Ohio, Idaho, and California. All products are manufactured in a GMP (good manufacturing practices) compliant, FDA approved pharmaceutical-facility. The people who work for our company are friendly and knowledgeable. All of our employees in the manufacturing facility are trained under strict guidelines to adhere to safety regulations. [top] Let's face it, sometimes doctors just cant keep up with all of the research coming out on every product, drug, and ingredient. If your doctor is too busy to do research on questions he may have about our products, please have the questions forwarded to us. We have extensive resources we can access to look up drug interactions, disease conditions, and supplements. [top] Some do consider the capsules large. However, the capsules can be easily broken apart and mixed with juice, pudding, yogurt, peanut butter, etc. [top] Our products have not been tested for or on animals. Please consult your veterinarian before you give this product to your pet. [top] Some yes and some no. Please email us if you are on birth control and we can look up the ingredients in our products to check for interactions. [top] If you have concerns about Bovine, Mad Cow, or if the gelatin used in our capsules, read this article from Colombia University: http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/3010.html It thoroughly discusses everything you ever need to know about gelatin. An interesting fact from this article points out that gelatin used in capsules like ours is the same gelatin used in ice cream, cream cheese, sour cream, packaged gravies, sauces, chewing gums, and marshmallows. [top] Every bottle has an expiration date on the back of the bottle near the supplement facts. [top] Ingredients and supplement facts are listed on our website under Additional Information: Supplement Facts. This can be located in the left hand navigation on our website underneath the drop down menus. [top] In 1994 the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act permitted the sale of all safe supplements in the USA. Therefore no FDA approval is needed. If the FDA feels like an ingredient is too dangerous to be sold in supplements, they will place a ban on that particular ingredient. To learn more about this act, please visit the FDA's website here: http://www.fda.gov/opacom/laws/dshea.html [top] If you are pregnant, think you might be pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or breast-feeding an infant, we always suggest talking to your healthcare professional before starting our supplement program(s). You can find and print our supplement facts simply by visiting the page of the product you are interested in and clicking on the supplement facts link under Additional Information in the left navigation bar. [top] We do not recommend supplements for children under 6. Talk to your healthcare professional about the appropriate use of vitamins and minerals in children before you start them on a supplement program. [top] When taking multiple supplements be careful that you are not getting too much of the same ingredient.
