Clinical Guideline & Protocol by John P. Troup, Ph.D.
Created by John P. Troup, Ph.D., Chief Science and Education Officer for Vital Nutrients, this clinical guide for practitioners provides product recommendations when working with patients to support a healthy balance of stress, mood, and resilient sleep. These guidelines address the underlying systems that influence the ‘connect-ome’ (microbiome, metabolome, neur-ome). This guide is intended to help address clinical issues of concern and provide the most appropriate dietary supplements and nutrition solutions.*
