Orthomolecular medicine is a medical approach based on the principle that optimal health can be achieved by maintaining the proper concentration of natural substances normally present in the body. These substances include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, antioxidants, and other biochemicals. The main goal of orthomolecular medicine is to optimize the biochemical processes in the body to prevent disease and support the body's ability to heal itself. Individual biochemical compositions are evaluated to develop a personalized plan of nutrition and supplements to fill any deficiencies and promote optimal health. ​

 

Orthomolecular medicine also emphasizes the importance of a healthy and balanced diet, rich in nutrients and free of harmful substances. Minimizing exposure to toxins and managing stress are also essential elements to maintaining optimal health. ​​
