The question isn't which supplements to take—it's whether your body can absorb them. Most traditional supplements fall victim to stomach acid before delivering benefits.

Purality Health's micelle liposomal technology creates a double-layer protective system that shields nutrients from stomach acid destruction while facilitating direct bloodstream absorption—making supplements up to 800% more effective.

For perimenopausal and menopausal patients, I recommend their Vitamin D3 with K2 for bone density and mood regulation, and their exceptional magnesium formula for sleep and muscle tension.

As a physician, I value their commitment to quality: cGMP-compliant facilities, purity testing, and organic, non-GMO ingredients without unnecessary fillers.
