Egan Medical to Launch New Line of Vitamins, Dietary Supplements

July 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Egan Medical, a Covington, Louisiana-based provider of retail home medical equipment and medical supplies, is pleased to announce that it will be partnering with world-renowned Nurse Practitioner and Health Columnist Pamela Egan to offer a new and extensive line of vitamins, minerals, dietary and nutritional supplements designed to achieve optimal health.

Egan Medical already offers an extensive selection of durable and home medical equipment, medical supplies, bathroom safety equipment, personal mobility equipment, aids to daily living, medical compression therapy socks and stockings and orthopedic braces and supports to customers throughout the United States via the company's e-commerce website, EganMedical.com (Link = http://www.eganmedical.com/).

Nurse Practitioner Egan is the founder and proprietor of the Egan Wellness and Anti-Aging Clinic (Link = http://www.pamelaegan.com/) and the Egan Skin Care Spa, both of Covington, Louisiana. She has achieved worldwide acclaim for her health column, which has appeared in dozens of newspapers, magazines and trade journals, both in local and nationally-syndicated publications.

She has achieved particular acclaim for her work involving vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol). Egan was among the very first health columnists in the world to distinguish between the two different forms of vitamin D that are commonly sold as health supplements.

Specifically, she pointed out that vitamin D3 is the natural form of vitamin D that people can obtain through exposure to sunlight. It is extremely bioavailable (readily absorbable), and provides an array of health benefits including but not limited to the prevention and/or reversal of vitamin D deficiency, which can contribute to the development of several dozen different diseases, illnesses and other health maladies.

Vitamin D2 is a synthetic compound manufactured by humans, mostly from plant materials. It is not as bioavailable as is vitamin D3, and does not offer the same health benefits as does the latter. Prior to NP Egan's first-ever article on the subject, the media had yet to publicly distinguish between the two, and much research has since been released confirming Egan's initial report on the subject.

The vitamin D3 story propelled Nurse Practitioner Egan to national health celebrity status, and she continues to write and conduct interviews for various publications.

Egan has offered custom health supplements to her patients at the Egan Wellness and Anti-Aging Clinic for several years now, and has developed an extensive line of nutritional supplements that go above and beyond the generic formulations found in drug stores and nutrition shops.

Now, Nurse Practitioner Egan's superior line of supplements will be made available to customers throughout the United States and soon to Canada thanks to the partnership with EganMedical.com. Egan Medical will have an entire section of its website devoted entirely to NP Egan's health supplements, and will offer shipping to all 50 U.S. states initially, with hopes of offering shipping to Canada as well in the upcoming months.

"I am thrilled to be able to help improve the health of Americans throughout the country by way of better nutrition," said NP Egan on the new partnership. "So many people are in the dark about the myriad ways good nutrition and overall health are relate," she added.
