The Science Behind ROOT Cause Supplements
LOWER YOUR WHOLE-BODY INFLAMMATION
Dr. J. Miller D.O./M.D., FACOG
Our Vision & Continued Goal at ROOT Cause Supplements, Fort Lauderdale, FL was and is to develop a line of Capsules, Plant-Based Anti-Inflammatory Formulas, based upon continued ongoing research, and sourcing of high quality pure ingredients, to lower Whole-Body Inflammation, while delivering highly absorbable vitamins, minerals, nutrients, Cofactors, Coenzymes & Adaptogens. We are a One-Of-A-Kind Supplement Manufacturing Company.
The Primary ROOT Cause of cellular dysfunction and subsequently disease, is chronic inflammation. If one was to Google any disease and inflammation or oxidative stress, an abundance of information will be provided. For example: Google Cardiovascular disease and oxidative stress, OR, Cardiovascular disease and inflammation, Brain Health and Inflammation, Colon Health and Inflammation etc… Lowering inflammation at the cellular level is more important than simply taking Vitamins.
Lowering Whole-Body Inflammation is extremely important for the Health of your Cardiovascular System, Neurologic System / Brain Health, Gut Health (Stomach, Intestines, Colon, Liver & Gallbladder), Pulmonary Health, Immune System Health, Blood Health, Kidney Health, and the health of every other bodily system and organ at the cellular level.
The sequence of importance would be: 1- Eat a healthy well-rounded diet, with nutrient dense foods, containing healthy fats and carbs, a higher percentage of lean proteins, and being mindful of ingesting foods which are anti-inflammatory, as opposed to pro-inflammatory. 2- Ingest Plant-Based pure supplements (without fillers or preservatives), with Anti-Inflammatory Plant-based Compounds (many of which an individual does not consume regularly on a daily basis in their diet, such as curcumin, turmeric, moringa etc…) to lessen the burden of oxidative stress (Chronic Inflammation) at the cellular level; lowering Whole-Body Inflammation. 3- Provide your cells with the sufficient amounts (as very often our cells are working at a deficit) of vitamins and minerals, to allow the cells to function effectively and efficiently, and without any deficits and increased risk for malfunction. However, simply ingesting vitamins does not suffice, without step 2 above.
Without Lowering your chronic inflammation (oxidative stress), you’re allowing your cells to function under excess duress, with an increased chance of error and aberrancy leading to dysfunction and disease. Also, without lowering the cellular inflammation, the vitamins and minerals ingested will not be utilized properly due to improper absorption by the intestinal lining, improper bioavailability as the vitamins get transported to the cellular extracellular fluid by the blood, and utilization by the cell; as the oxidative stress / chronic inflammation at the cell-membrane will inhibit proper transport of the vitamin into the cell.
Along with Plant-Based Organic Ingredients, our capsules produced at ROOT Cause Supplements include only several synthetic (lab based) vitamins and minerals (in each capsule) such as magnesium, vitamin c, vitamin d3, zinc etc…We only include several synthetic (lab based) vitamins and minerals, along with plant-based compounds, in each capsule, so we have a perfect balance of lowering inflammation, and optimal delivery and utilization of the lab-based vitamins and minerals.
The Synergy between all compounds in each capsule ensures low inflammation at the intestinal lining for maximal absorption from the intestine to the bloodstream, and ensures effective bioavailability to the tissues (extracellular space), and uptake by the cell. Thus, maximizing these agents Absorption (from gut to bloodstream), and Bioavailability (from bloodstream to tissues), as they work in Synergy with the Plant-Based Ingredients in each Capsule. Incorporating Excess Vitamins and Minerals of non-plant-based sources in one capsule contributes to increased inflammation, and defeats the purpose of taking supplements.
Lowering Whole-Body Inflammation, is not ONLY for proper vitamin and mineral utilization, however, Lowering your inflammation is extremely healthy for your tissues and cells in and of itself. The #1 cause of morbidity and mortality is Cardiovascular disease, and the common denominator in Cardiovascular disease is Inflammation. The ROOT Cause of arteriosclerosis is chronic inflammation (Oxidative Stress), as a result of elevated cholesterol, elevated blood sugars, elevated blood pressure, elevated toxin levels from food, environment, cleaning products, body care products etc…
The perfect balance of Plant-Based Ingredients, and lab derived vitamins and minerals (magnesium, vitamin c, vitamin d3, zinc etc..), in our Capsules at ROOT Cause Supplements, allows maximum absorption and bioavailability, which makes them able to be utilized effectively and efficiently at the cell membrane / cellular level.
Consuming Other Supplements with many vitamins and minerals in one capsule, without plant-based natural ingredients to lower Cellular Inflammation, specifically at the Cell Membrane, does not yield appropriate therapeutic results. Most Vitamins and Minerals inside supplements are made in a Lab, and are synthetic (example- Vitamin C – Ascorbic Acid), thus creating several barriers with respect to the Human Cell utilizing the ingredients when ingested; one being the low grade inflammation created by such a foreign substance encountered by the body, and the second is appropriate intestinal absorption and subsequent Trans-Membrane Transport at the Cellular level, which is the ultimate goal of taking supplements; for the ingredients to be taken up by your cells and to be utilized.
Thus, overwhelming the Intestinal Lining with an abundance of synthetic Vitamins and Minerals, without any added plant-based anti-inflammatory ingredients, Lowers the Therapeutic Value of the Capsule, with low absorption at the intestinal level, and subsequent low bioavailability at the cell membrane / cellular level.
On paper certain supplements may seem great, with an abundance of Vitamins and Minerals. However, The problem arises in 3 areas. Absorption & Bioavailability as referenced and defined above, are the first 2 barriers. The Third barrier is at the Cell / Cell Membrane. Assume a molecule of Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) makes it past the first 2 limiting steps / barriers, and it gets Absorbed into the bloodstream from the gut, then it becomes Bioavailable to the Cell as it has moved from the bloodstream to the Tissue itself. Tissue referring to the extracellular space in each Organ. Once the molecule exits the blood stream at the capillary level, it is in the Interstitial Space, or Extracellular Space, both used interchangeably, now it must be utilized by the Cell.
The Image below is a simplified image of the cell membrane. Obviously, there are thousands more structures / receptors / trans-membrane channels on the Human Cell Membrane not shown in the image. The top part of the image which is labeled Extracellular Side is: When a vitamin or micronutrient is absorbed from your intestines and enters the bloodstream; it then gets delivered to the tissue or part of the organ where it is released from the capillaries. That space it enters is the extracellular space, at which time it must be taken up by the Cell, by a trans-membrane transport process. Thus, it finally enters the inside of the cell and is utilized for proper and efficient functioning of the Cell. If we lessen the chronic inflammation (oxidative stress) at the Cellular Level, The Cell Membrane can function much more effectively, and when it is delivered nutrients, vitamins, minerals etc.. to be readily transported into the cell and utilized, it does so readily and without any resistance. Thus, we allow our body to function effectively and efficiently, with less stress on the cellular level, and less chance for malfunction and aberrant behavior.

This 3rd process of trans-membrane cellular transport, with first 2 being absorption and bioavailability, is impacted by the purity, and the most natural form of the ingredient reaching the Cell, and more importantly, significantly impacted by the burden of oxidative stress (Chronic Inflammation) The Cell and Cell Membrane is encountering. Thus, keeping your Inflammation (Oxidative Stress) consistently Low, allows your Cells to optimally utilize the vitamins and minerals delivered to the Cell. The Plant-Based ingredients in our capsules accomplish this goal of lowering cellular inflammation, while also delivering highly absorbable and bioavailable natural plant-based vitamins, minerals and adaptogens. The Cell Membrane must allow the trans-membrane transport of the ingredients: Vitamins, Minerals, Nutrients, Co-factors, Co-enzymes, Adaptogens etc.., whether from Supplement source or the Food we ingest, for the Cell to utilize these agents efficiently. Which is why we recommend taking our supplements at ROOT Cause Supplements, with food. This trans-membrane transfer is very important, and thus depends on a low level of inflammation (oxidative stress) at the cell membrane, and the purity and synergy of ingredients.
Thus, the importance of synergistic Plant-Based Formulas in our Capsules at ROOT Cause Supplements, produced at our Lab in Davie, FL (Retail Store – 3354 NE 34th Street, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33308). They simultaneously Lower Inflammation at The Cellular Level, while delivering highly absorbable Vitamins and Minerals in Both Plant-Based Forms and several Lab-based forms such as pure Vitamin D3, Zinc, Magnesium etc… (each capsule having its own unique formula)
Lowering Your Inflammation is much more than simply reducing pain and discomfort in your joints and muscles. Yes, this is one benefit to lowering your Whole-Body Inflammation, however, it’s the tip of the iceberg, when it comes to whole-body benefits. Chronic Inflammation on the “Cellular Level” is also synonymous with Oxidative Stress.
Diabetes, High Cholesterol, Hypertension, Auto-Immune Disorders (MS, Ulcerative Colitis, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Psoriatic Arthritis, Lupus, Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis, and many other auto-immune disorders), Gout, Asthma, COPD, ALS, and many more, essentially every disorder, some more than others; are both caused / initiated (triggered) by low grade chronic inflammation bombarding our systems, organs and cells on a daily basis; and also worsened by the chronic inflammation.
Air Pollution, Food Toxins and additives, Excess Sunlight, Our normal processing of the foods we eat, Emotional Stress, Environmental toxicity (radiation exposure etc.) and many other factors contribute to our daily chronic inflammation / oxidative stress. On a cellular level this translates into excess free radicals being produced, which damage the adjacent cells. Free Radicals cause excess oxidative stress in our body. Thus, taking anti-oxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds, as the 2 terms are essentially synonymous, we decrease this excess oxidative stress. By ingesting Plant-Based anti-inflammatory / anti-oxidant capsules, such as those produced at ROOT Cause Supplements, we address “The ROOT Cause” of the problem and the solution consistently everyday.
For Maximal Anti-Inflammatory and Cellular Health Results, we recommend starting with our Curcu-Meric 975mg Capsule as the primary capsule, then adding one or two of our other capsules as they are all meant to work complementary with the Curcu-Meric 975mg capsule. Thus, the reason we provide different bundles on the SHOP Page of our website. This is not to create more sales, however, simply to allow you to achieve superior results. We place quality and results ahead of the business at ROOT Cause Supplements, Fort Lauderdale, FL. Website: www.rootcausesupplements.us OR www.drjosephmillerobgyn.com
For Example, assume an individual started with Curcu-Meric 975mg capsule, and we recommend 2-4 capsules per day. Assume an individual is taking 2 in the morning and 2 in the evening, always with a meal or snack. Assume this individual decided to add 2 more capsules from ROOT Cause Supplements to their regimen. They would take 1 of each additional capsule with the 2 Curcu-Meric in the morning dose, and the same with the evening dose; 4 capsules total in morning hours, and 4 capsules total in evening hours.

The Bioactive Ingredient in Turmeric, Curcumin, remains one of the most researched and studied Therapeutic plant-based compounds due to it’s ability to positively impact many different receptors on the cellular level, and maximally exerting anti-inflammatory & anti-oxidant benefits on the cellular level. Curcu-Meric 975mg capsule, image of label below, remains our primary, and flagship capsule, with other capsule formulas complementing this formula, with therapeutic ingredients all working synergistically. Taking 2-4 Curcu-Meric Daily, will significantly lower your inflammation, prevent disease, and improve quality of life. Adding one or two additional capsules from our Portfolio of capsules will simply be more beneficial.
Pricing on this label below is for retail purposes, and the cost is less when purchased directly from us, ROOT Cause Supplements, at our retail store, or our website. All our supplements have 120 count and 200 count bottles. All capsules are 975mg per capsule.
We at ROOT Cause Supplements, Fort Lauderdale, FL, strive to produce the cleanest, purest, plant-based supplements to lower-whole body inflammation, and optimize cellular health. Our Line of Synergistic Capsules offer benefits to all body systems, starting with our Curcu-Meric 975mg Capsule.
There are other therapeutic supplement brands, with high quality products, and others with products which are over-priced, and contain many fillers, additives, preservatives, and anti-caking agents in production.
No matter how pure and strong a capsule is, customers are not educated enough in the supplement industry that taking 2-4 of a supplement is better than 1-2. The difficulty with the current climate in the supplement industry is: 1- Pricing (taking 2-4 can be costly) 2- additional ingredients in the capsules are not healthy at higher doses (fillers, additives, preservatives, and anti-caking agents).
We at ROOT Cause Supplements, educate our clients / customers on the short-term and long-term benefits of taking 2-4 of our capsules per day. Despite some of our capsule formulas being more specific for certain body systems, they all have therapeutic anti-inflammatory properties, with our most therapeutic anti-inflammatory being Curcu-Meric 975mg. Lowering Inflammation daily is critical for the health and well-being of all body systems.
To achieve maximal results, our supplements contain Organic Plant-Based ingredients, combined with pure high-grade vitamins, minerals & adaptogens; without any fillers, additives, preservatives, and anti-caking agents; at extremely fair pricing, to ensure our clients / customers have no barriers to taking enough supplements daily, to feel and see true life-changing therapeutic results. Improving Quality of life, Improved Blood Laboratory Results, Lower Cholesterol Levels, Blood Pressure, Blood Sugar, Bone Density, Neurological and Psychological Well-Being, Prostate Conditions, Hormone Imbalance Problems, Pain from Arthritis-Muscle-Joint-Nerve Conditions, and more.
Lowering Whole-Body Inflammation is much more than simply reducing external symptomatic pain, as it addresses the ROOT Cause, of internal health concerns.
As we slowly expand our line of supplements, we pair our products together for several reasons: 1- When it comes to lowering whole-body Inflammation to a significant degree, we like to combine other plant-based ingredients (which all have their own unique mechanism of lowering Inflammation), with our Curcu-Meric 975mg Capsule for maximal effect. 2- Starting with our Curcu-Meric 975mg capsule, which is universal for all body systems, our other capsules are more specific for certain body systems, despite there being much overlap. An example of overlap would be, the Gluco-Mmune 975mg capsule not only helps regulate blood-sugars, however, is also healthy for your cardiovascular system, and also to lower inflammation. Another example of overlap would be: Metabolism is positively affected by Curcu-Meric, Gluco-Mmune, Neuro-Mmune, and several other capsules, via each capsule’s own unique mechanism. The term overlap in this paragraph is referring to achieving maximum therapeutic results to, for example, lower cholesterol, via utilizing several capsules, with different ingredients, however lowering cholesterol by different mechanisms, while lowering whole-body Inflammation.
Lastly, for us to fully achieve our goals at ROOT Cause Supplements, we want to provide our customers with extremely therapeutic combinations of supplements working synergistically together to address specific health concerns. Why Bundles? No matter how pure a capsule is, there is only so much ingredient that can fit and be included in one capsule; therefore, combing several capsules with different ingredients creates a synergistic effect (ex. 2+2=6). Therefore, we carefully selected other companies we source products from, to pair with our capsules to achieve specific Therapeutic Results for specific conditions, and specific body systems.
As our Line of capsules has expanded to 10 Capsules, since our inception in 2015, we bundle 2-4 different capsules to achieve our results and goals for our clients / customers.
