No, we do not. We only take: cash, checks, credit cards. What we can do is provide a superbill that you can send to your insurance company for reimbursement.
Everybody is different. Some people start feeling well right away and for others it takes time. It depends on the severity of the condition and how long it has persisted as well as how much effort the patient puts into the treatment protocol.

We provide an anti-inflammatory, low glycemic index, gluten free, soy free, GMO free, and natural list of foods to pick from.
Yes. We provide a children’s line of enzymes and probiotics. They come in chewable tablets and powder.
Why do I need probiotics?Oral supplementation with probiotics will help maintain the beneficial bacteria in your GI tract benefiting digestion, immunity, and elimination. Digestion: Probiotics produce enzymes such as protease, lipase, and lactase to further assist with protein and fat digestion as well as reduce problems associated with lactose intolerance.
Immunity: Intestinal microbes are a key factor in the development of the post-natal immune system and in acquired immune response. Elimination: Probiotics act as natural stool softeners and facilitate the healthy and timely removal of waste.

While this is not a weight loss program one of the things that most patients notice is weight loss
At the initial consult the doctor will determine what tests are needed after your discussion about the symptom questionnaire sheet along with a medical history he takes. As he collects the data from your tests he will be able to come to the underlying root cause of your condition.
Are enzymes really good for your body?Enzymes are energy-rich protein molecules that are necessary for life. They catalyze and regulate chemical reactions and are an essential part of every activity in the body. Digestive enzymes break down the food we eat, releasing nutrients for energy production, cell growth and repair.
Transformation uses mycelial (fungal) enzymes derived from the fermentation of non-toxic strains of various fungi. The organisms used have been studied extensively by the food and pharmaceutical industries to establish their safe use in production of amino acids, enzymes, antibiotics, and other beneficial compounds.
Our bodies naturally produce digestive enzymes and the enzymes that run our metabolic processes. However, genetics, lifestyle, diet, processed foods, prescription drugs, and environmental factors all influence digestion on a daily basis. Digestion must take place. Every person with or without digestive challenges will benefit from a digestive enzyme formula. Transformation digestive enzyme formulas are designed to promote optimal digestion, support nutrient availability, and help reduce food intolerances, thereby leading to a healthy and efficient immune system and the timely elimination of wastes.
No, When speaking about digestive enzyme formulas as active protein molecules the enzymes do not accumulate in the body. They impart enzymatic activity that generally lasts one to four hours and then are eliminated from the body or the proteins are broken down to amino acids for other purposes. As with any herbal or nutritional supplement, evaluation of amounts and over consumption should be determined on an individual basis.
What about “protease inhibitors”?Digestive enzymes function by breaking down specific chemical bonds in foods. There, in most cases, they can be taken safely with medications. Transformation recommends telling your health care provider all the supplements you are taking. One area of concern is that of prescription blood-thinning agents. These prescription drugs interfere with natural blood-clotting mechanisms. They can be taken in conjunction, but it is recommended to take them at least four hours apart and monitor lab work closely. There are thousands of proteases in our body, each with many different functions. The medications that are designed as protease inhibitors are targeting a very specific viral protease. The supplemental digestive proteases are very different and will not interfere with the medication.
Yes, our products are natural and organic.
Yes, to all three questions. The digestive enzyme formulas are vegetarian, dairy-free, and gluten-free and in most cases come in cellulose capsules.
