Why Your Supplements Aren’t Working—And What to Do Instead

Why Your Supplements Aren’t Working—And What to Do Instead

Taking Supplements… But Still Not Feeling Better?

You’ve done the research. You’re taking a multivitamin, maybe some fish oil, probiotics, or collagen. Your cabinet is full—but your symptoms remain.

At resTOR Longevity Clinic, we see it all the time: patients who come in with shelves of supplements, yet still struggle with fatigue, bloating, brain fog, or hormone imbalances. The truth is, more supplements don’t mean better health—especially if they aren’t personalized to your body.

Dr. Greg Burzynski and the team at resTOR are here to cut through the noise, offering a science-backed approach to targeted supplementation based on your unique biochemistry.


The Supplement Trap: Why Most People Get It Wrong

1. Poor-Quality Formulas

Not all supplements are created equal. Many over-the-counter options contain:

  • Synthetic fillers and binders

  • Low-absorption forms of nutrients

  • Inaccurate labeling or underdosed ingredients

These shortcuts can make supplements ineffective—or even harmful over time.

2. Conflicting or Redundant Ingredients

Taking too many supplements without professional guidance can lead to:

  • Nutrient imbalances (like too much calcium or iron)

  • Interactions that block absorption (like zinc vs. copper)

  • Overloading the liver with compounds that compete for detoxification pathways

This can create internal stress that actually works against your healing.

3. The Guessing Game

Without proper testing, most people are just guessing. You might think you're supporting your thyroid or gut—but unless you’ve seen your labs, how can you know what your body really needs?


When Supplements Become a Waste of Money

It’s not uncommon to spend hundreds of dollars per month on supplements with little to no benefit. You may even feel worse due to:

  • Digestive distress from unnecessary probiotics

  • Worsening fatigue due to imbalanced B vitamins

  • Brain fog from over-supplementation of adaptogens or hormones

Taking the wrong combination can disrupt the delicate balance of your body’s systems.


The resTOR Approach: Personalized, Precision Supplementation

At resTOR Longevity Clinic, we don’t hand you a random list of pills. We create targeted, data-informed protocols designed to work with your body—not against it.

Here’s how we do it differently:

Comprehensive Lab Testing

We start with advanced diagnostics, including:

  • Micronutrient testing

  • Hormone panels

  • Inflammation and oxidative stress markers

  • Gut health and absorption evaluations

This gives us a clear picture of what your body is lacking—or has too much of.

Medical-Grade Supplements

We use only professional-grade supplements that are:

  • Clinically dosed

  • Third-party tested for purity

  • Designed for optimal absorption

Many contain bioavailable ingredients like methylated B vitamins, chelated minerals, and liposomal delivery systems for maximum impact.

Synergistic Support

We don’t just treat symptoms. Our supplement protocols are tailored to support systems in your body, such as:

  • Hormonal balance with DHEA, DIM, or adaptogens

  • Mitochondrial health with CoQ10, PQQ, or NAD+ boosters

  • Gut repair with glutamine, zinc carnosine, and targeted probiotics

  • Cognitive clarity with omega-3s, phosphatidylserine, and acetyl-L-carnitine

Guided by Dr. Greg Burzynski

With years of experience in functional and longevity medicine, Dr. Burzynski ensures each protocol is medically appropriate, safe, and aligned with your long-term health goals.


Supplements That Work With Your Body

We don’t believe in band-aid solutions. At resTOR, our goal is to restore balance and function at the root, using tools like:

  • Peptide therapy to enhance cellular communication

  • Nutraceuticals to reduce inflammation and oxidative stress

  • Hormone optimization to improve energy, metabolism, and mood

  • Gut and detox support to ensure you’re absorbing and utilizing nutrients effectively


Stop Guessing. Start Healing.
