Vista OTC formulations contain advanced nutritional profiles that are targeted at specific areas of the body. Critically, the formulas were developed based on evidence and expert knowledge. Their science convinced me to offer them to my patients as an alternative to traditional medicines. I also like that Vista OTC’s team is always available to my patients to answer any questions about the products.”
