Have you ever taken a supplement and gone, “Ugh, this isn’t working”? There’s a reason behind that.
Are medications and vitamins the same?
Now, there’s a difference between supplements or vitamins and medication. Medication is meant to kind of force your body into submission. Especially if you’ve got an ongoing infection, you want that to wipe it out immediately. You don’t want to wait months and months for an infection to go away.
Now, medication also has side effects, a lot of side effects. We know this. This is why that has to be prescribed by your primary care physician or another medical doctor.
At HealthWorks: A Family Chiropractic in Plano, Texas, what we want to do is support your body so your body can be healthier, so it can maybe avoid infections in the future. What we do is, look to supplements.
Do vitamins/supplements really work?
Supplements don’t work as medications do. They do take time. It takes 120 days for your cells to completely turn over, and that’s just biology. We can’t change that. Give your supplements time to work. An average of three to four months is optimal to know that supplement is working. We even check here to make sure those supplements are working appropriately.
If you’re interested in making sure that your supplements are working right, and you want to get off the medication train and support your body, we’re the office to do that for you.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I notice vitamin supplement effects?
Water-soluble vitamins (B, C) show effects within days to weeks, while fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and minerals may take 2-3 months. Energy and mood improvements often appear first before physical changes.
Our functional nutrition services at HealthWorks help identify which supplements your body actually needs for optimal results.
What signs indicate vitamins are working?
Improved energy, better sleep, enhanced mood, stronger immunity, and healthier skin/hair indicate effectiveness. Blood tests provide objective confirmation, but subjective improvements in how you feel matter equally.
Combining targeted supplementation with chiropractic care enhances nutrient absorption through improved nervous system function.
Why aren’t my vitamins showing results?
Poor absorption, wrong dosage, low-quality supplements, or addressing the wrong deficiency prevents results. Digestive issues, medication interactions, and taking incompatible nutrients together also reduce effectiveness significantly.
HealthWorks’ comprehensive approach addresses both nutritional needs and the spinal alignment affecting your digestive health.
