When it comes to your health, supplementing with top-of-the-line nutraceuticals is the key to getting everything your body needs.
In today’s world, maintaining optimal health can be challenging. The environment is filled with toxins, the soil is depleted, and it’s nearly impossible to get all the nutrients you need solely from your diet. Because of this and other lifestyle factors, you may also be dealing with inflammation, which can stem from aging, stress, and everyday exposure to a toxic environment.
That’s why Forum Health’s providers recommend a targeted supplement protocol known as the Forum Four. And Dr. Connie Casebolt of Forum Health Greenville, a renowned expert in functional and integrative medicine, shares her own perspective on these foundational supplements for staying healthy and why they are essential tools for overall wellness.

The Four Supplements You Need to Transform Your Health
Supplements play a crucial role in filling nutritional gaps, boosting our immune system, and combating inflammation. Even with a balanced diet, the modern world’s challenges make it difficult to obtain all necessary nutrients.
Supplements provide a practical and effective solution to support overall health and well-being and here’s why our providers encourage these four supplements as a foundation for optimized wellbeing.
- Mito Multi: The Foundation of Nutrient Support
The Mito Multi is a comprehensive multi-mineral vitamin supplement designed to provide above and beyond the recommended daily allowance of essential vitamins and minerals. It supplies key mitochondrial micronutrients and a smart combination of alpha-lipoic acid, N-acetyl cysteine, and acetyl L-carnitine to boost cellular energy production, support immune function, increase antioxidant protection, support detoxification capacity, and provide key micronutrients to optimize daily nutritional intake.
- Probiotic 25 Plus: Supporting Gut Health and Immunity
Gut health is fundamental to overall health. Exposure to antibiotics and environmental toxins like glyphosate (Roundup) can disrupt your gut flora. Probiotics help restore and maintain healthy gut bacteria, which is crucial for weight management and a robust immune system. Dr. Casebolt emphasizes that most of our immune system resides in the gut, making a high-quality probiotic like Probiotic 25 Plus essential for maintaining good gut health.
- Vitamins D3 and K2: Optimizing Immune Function and Bone Health
Vitamin D is critical for immune function and disease prevention, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and diabetes. While Mito Multi contains some vitamin D, Dr. Casebolt recommends maintaining vitamin D levels between 60 and 100 for best results. The combination of D3 and K2 is particularly beneficial because while vitamin D increases calcium absorption, vitamin K2 ensures that the extra calcium is directed to the bones, preventing arterial calcification and promoting bone strength.
- Omega Supplements: Combating Inflammation
Omega fatty acids are vital for reducing inflammation, which is a common issue due to aging and autoimmune conditions. Incorporating an omega supplement into your daily routine can help manage inflammation and support overall health.
