FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION

WHERE DOES PHARMADEN FIT INTO MY PROTOCOL?
Once you have determined the patient’s stage of gum disease, include PerioTherapy (and OsteoTherapy if necessary) with their Home Care Program. PerioCare should then follow the 60 to 90 days of PerioTherapy, as an ongoing maintenance regimen.

• WHAT DO OTHER PROFESSIONALS SAY TO THEIR PATIENTS ABOUT PHARMADEN?
For PerioTherapy - “It is essential to also support your overall treatment from the inside. I want you to take____capsule(s) of this nutraceutical twice a day with food for____ days. (*and 2 capsules twice a day of OsteoTherapy for re-mineralization support”). For PerioCare- “I want you to take one capsule twice a day with food as a maintenance program” (”and continue with the OsteoTherapy” if applicable.)

• ARE ALL NUTRIENTS AND NUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS OF EQUAL QUALITY?
Absolutely not! Pharmaden’s dramatic results can be attributed to two things - the quality and the balance of the nutrients. Pharmaden’s nutraceuticals are manufactured under the highest manufacturing standard established by the FDA for drugs called the “Current Good Manufacturing Practice (eGMP) for the manufacturing, processing, packaging and holding of drugs”.
The other standard that is essential to denote quality, comes from the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) which sets quality standards for prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Pharmaden nutrients meet the UPS Grade 23 & 24 standard, which is the highest level possible, and we use only the highest quality extracts available from throughout the world.

• ARE THERE ANY CONTRAINDICATIONS WITH PRESCRIPTION MEDICINES OR ADVERSE EFFECTS?
The general is “NO”, however, it is standard procedure for all dietary supplements as well as antibiotics, to have the patient discuss the use with their physician. There were no adverse effects with PerioTheraphy in the Loma Linda University clinical study.

• SHOULD THE LENGHT OF TIME A PATIENT TAKES PRODUCTS CONTAINING ECHINACEA BE LIMITED?
The length of time should be limited to only as long as it takes to strengthen the immune system. This is why PerioTherapy contains Echinacea and our daily maintenance product, PerioCare, does not.

• MY PATIENT IS TAKING A MULTI-MINERAL / MULTI-VITAMIN, DO THEY STILL NEED PHARMADEN?
Yes. Pharmaden was specifically formulated for their oral health condition and unlike most store brands, uses only the highest quality ingredients in the proper synergistic balance to one another to achieve optimal oral health results. The patient may continue their vitamins if they like, although patients taking a calcium supplement should be encouraged to finish what they have and then switch to OsteoTherapy instead.
