They contain vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids, and other micronutrients that can be purchased over the counter.<\/li>\n<li>Fort\u00e9 attempts to use only non-synthetic, GMO-free constituent components according to the Mediceutical Standard.<\/li>\n<li>Fort\u00e9 products only use\u00a0pharmaceutical-gradecomponents and are only made in pharmaceutical-grade facilities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tARE FORT\u00c9 PRODUCTS DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Fort\u00e9 products are designed to complement a healthy diet.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tWHAT IS A MEDICEUTICAL?<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"http:\/\/mediceutical.org\">HERE<\/a> to read more about a Mediceutical.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tARE CONDITION-SPECIFIC PRODUCTS REALLY NECESSARY?<\/p>\n<p>Absolutely. Condition-specific products are designed using available clinical research to optimize nutrition with the goal of giving a patient the best possible outcome. Business as usual with regards to nutritional supplements fails to take advantage of the vast amount of science that has defined ways in which nutrition can help in specific medical conditions<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tCAN FORT\u00c9 AND\/OR MEDICEUTICAL PRODUCTS BE DANGEROUS?<\/p>\n<p>Fort\u00e9 only uses elements and doses that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the scientific community. We always recommend that you consult with your healthcare practitioner about any concerns you might have when starting a new nutritional supplement.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tCAN I ONLY GET FORT\u00c9 PRODUCTS THROUGH A HEALTHCARE PRACTITIONER?<\/p>\n<p>No, Fort\u00e9 products can be purchased via our website.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tWHY DO FORT\u00c9 PRODUCTS COST MORE THAN OTHER NNUTRITIONAL PRODUCTS?<\/p>\n<p>Fort\u00e9 products are designed to be comprehensive. They are designed to take the place of many other supplements a patient may be taking. Fort\u00e9 products are also nutrient dense, containing all the nutrition a patient may need for a specific clinical condition.<\/p>\n<p>The amount of product, quality of ingredients, and length of use are the major factors to cost. We do combine many ingredients together in each product. It would take many bottles off a shelf to duplicate what we have in our products. We have them conveniently in one package just for you!<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tDOES BRIGHT YELLOW URINE MEAN I AM WASTING MY MONEY ON SUPPLEMENTS?<\/p>\n<p>No, this is a common misconception. The bright yellow color of a patient\u2019s urine is a sign that riboflavin is being metabolized appropriately. Rather than indicating that vitamins are being wasted, it demonstrates that appropriate metabolism and assimilation is occurring.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tTHE TASTE MAKES IT HARD FOR ME TO DRINK, HOW CAN I FIX THAT?<\/p>\n<p>There are multiple options. You can mix the formula with anything you need to make it a bit better going down!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Split the shake in half: take half in the morning and half at night<br \/>Take with food<\/li>\n<li>Mix with milk or even orange juice instead of water<\/li>\n<li>Add ice, fruit or ice cream<\/li>\n<li>Mix the product with a smoothie<\/li>\n<li>Watch our recipe videos <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLx44IolMGRw98-wJvAu-L7Ymznbhok-F8\">HERE<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tWHEN DO I START TAKING THE PRODUCT?<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Most of our products you can start taking the day you receive your product! Most Fort\u00e9 products are a 30-day supply.<\/li>\n<li>Pre-Op is a 2-week formula so you should start it 15 days before your scheduled surgery.<\/li>\n<li>Post-Op should be started 3-4 days after surgery and continued for 30 days<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tHOW DO I KNOW HOW LONG TO TAKE THE PRODUCT?<\/p>\n<p>This depends on the product. Most products like Joint and Nerve are meant to be taken long term. Post-Op, Pre-Op, Trauma, Prenatal+, and Postnatal have more defined timelines.<\/p>\n<p>Post-Op | Trauma \u2013 1 box\u00a0for 42 days after surgery<br \/>Pre-Op \u2013 1 box\u00a0for 14 days before surgery<br \/>Prenatal+ \u2013 1 box\u00a0per month of the pregnancy and even the months before conception.<br \/>Fracture \u2013\u00a01 box\u00a0for 30 days.

Products such as Bone, Joint, Brain, Nerve will sometimes need to take it for multiple months before seeing a difference.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\tBCAAS ARE COMMONLY USED FOR FITNESS\/BODY BUILDING. THEY ARE LEUCINE, ISOLEUCINE, AND VALINE. THOSE ARE NOT INCLUDED IN FORT\u00c9S AMINO ACID FORMULA. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY? AND WILL THE AMINO ACID PRODUCT HAVE A SIMILAR EFFECT?<\/p>\n<p>Our focus is on recovery and immune support.
