The Metabolic Approach™ |
|
|
|
|
There
is growing solid scientific evidence that proper combinations
of metabolic compounds such as carnitines, coenzyme Q10, omega-3
fatty acids, and others, provide metabolic support that removes or
limits the cause of cell damage that ultimately evolve into serious
medical conditions. That’s why at sigma-tau HealthScience we
believe that cellular metabolism should be a primary
target in the treatment of all disease and age-related conditions,
as well as in the improvement of overall health necessitated by the
demands of our modern lifestyles. We
call this The Metabolic Approach™. This is a unique way of
looking at disease and ageing because it focuses on the treatment of
the cellular and molecular changes that lead to them. This type of
treatment can be implemented before symptoms show up and also in
combination with drug treatment when the signs of disease have
become visible. As
the name implies, The Metabolic Approach™ focuses on metabolism,
the set of biochemical events that occur within every cell. As the
body ages, there is a progressive decline in the efficiency of all
cellular functions and systems. These functional declines vary
depending on genetic factors, a person's sex, eating habits,
lifestyle and other factors, but eventually they lead to failures
that take the form of disease such as cardiovascular problems,
osteoporosis, diabetes and a host of other chronic health conditions. Without
question, modern pharmaceutical products have saved countless lives,
their development is based on a
crisis-management approach to medicine that often overlooks the fact
that aging and many diseases are the final manifestation of a
lengthy and silent process. This can amount to treating the symptoms
and ignoring the cause. In
contrast, sigma-tau HealthScience believes that just as disease
begins at the metabolic level, so too does health. Therefore, the
best solution is to deal with cellular changes in the early stages,
instead of waiting for them to advance to the onset of symptoms. Not
only are metabolic compounds much safer than most drugs, they also
allow for early treatment based on individual needs. This ensures
that different patients - despite the fact that their symptoms may
be identical - receive the precise treatment they require. But
in order for The Metabolic Approach™ to be truly effective,
healthcare professionals must be involved. Consequently like
prescription drugs, dietary supplements must be precisely targeted
to individual needs because, even though symptoms may be similar,
metabolic changes vary considerably from person to person. It is
also necessary for products to be developed according to
pharmaceutical standards and supported by strong clinical evidence.
Sigma-Tau HealthScience is committed to raising awareness among
consumers and health care professionals about The Metabolic Approach™
and the important role that nutritional supplements can play in
preserving health and well-being. |
