Getting your personalized formula
Before starting with NutriFortica it is important to understand that for an optimal formula we would need a full blood panel. Blood panels are authorized by your doctor and will give us an in-depth look at what your body doing and gives us direction on where your formula needs to be. IT IS NOT REQUIRED, just preferred.
If doing a full blood panel is not an option for you, then we have other options. Please refer to step two on this page.

STEP ONE
The first step in the process of NutriFortica is submitting your health information on our SIGN UP page. This information helps us understand what your goals and needs are and any conditions that need to be addressed. Our evaluation fee is $75 for our licensed pharmacist to review your information and create your formula. This also includes the tutorial on our program and an in-depth look at how your body processes carbs and stores fat. The evaluation is done after collecting the necessary blood work or secondary option.
Keep in mind that our program is not a short term program. The only way that you will benefit from optimizing your body and not being deficient is to stay with the program for the long term.

STEP TWO
The next step has two options. It is imperative that we are able to see how your body responds to a set number of carbs and protein with minimal fat. The best way for us to do this is by the client taking the provided "snack" before they fast for 12 hours. The following are the two options that would provide us with the additional information that allows us to finish your personalized formula:
-
Your primary care physician would need to order a blood panel to be taken at the end of your fast. We ask that you request a T3, T4, TSH, Vitamin D and a hormone panel.
-
If doing blood work is not an option, then we will send you a kit (urine cup and glucose kit) so that we can get the necessary information to complete your profile.

STEP THREE
Once we gather your personal profile and blood work, then we need to have a consultation with the client. This consists of confirming the information that was provided as well as clarifying any other health concerns. This process takes about an hour and allows us to complete your profile.

STEP FOUR
Now you get to sit back while we do all the heavy lifting. PRIOR to us compounding your formula we will give you the quote for your monthly dose. The monthly cost depends on your formula. Typically it ranges between $120 to $150 per month. The monthly fee must be collected before your formula is made.
You have two options when it comes to your formula and your doses - powder packs or capsules.
The capsule amount depends on your formula, but the typical range is 12-15 capsules per dose, three times a day. We encourage our clients to take the capsules immediately prior to eating to ensure absorption. Most of our clients do not prefer capsules due to the number of capsules that are required to be consumed.
The powder route is the easiest since you mix your formula with about 10 ounces of ice cold water and the formula dissolves. Keep in mind that the formula is in its natural state, which some clients find has an unpleasant taste, so we have developed a solution to mask the flavor as much as we could without sacrificing the nutritional component.

STEP FIVE
During the first few months we we will tweak your formula to ensure you get the most benefit from our program. Everything from the taste of the formula itself, to the level of energy you have, we will ensure that you are on the right track and seeing results.
We ask our clients to do a re-evaluation at month 6, and if possible, take a follow-up blood test to check your numbers.
