About the NSCC

Scientific evidence has unveiled the incredible potential of food choices and dietary supplements in enhancing health and managing symptoms of diseases. Astonishingly, Americans are investing over $50 billion annually in self-prescribing herbal and dietary supplements to address their health concerns.

As dedicated healthcare providers, we understand the importance of staying informed with timely, evidence-based information to navigate the risks and benefits of supplements for our patients. Our dynamic partnership with patients necessitates us to be well-versed in regulatory matters, dosing intricacies, and product potency. To address these vital needs, we have gathered world-renowned faculty who will provide a concise and clinically relevant overview of natural supplements in evidence-based practice. With a special focus on disease states, this conference will empower you to make informed decisions for your patients’ well-being.

Join us on this transformative journey to enhance your expertise in nutrition and dietary supplementation, backed by cutting-edge research and the wisdom of leading experts. Empower yourself to make a positive impact on the health and well-being of those you serve.

Air & Ground Transportation

The drive from San Diego takes about 40 minutes depending on traffic, and it’s a scenic trip along the coastal Interstate 5 freeway. A drive, either by car, shuttle, or shared ride is the quickest and most convenient way to get to Carlsbad.  

Carlsbad is about 90 miles south of Los Angeles International Airport, and about 35 miles north of San Diego International Airport. Three miles southeast of Carlsbad, McClellan-Palomar Airport serves corporate aircraft, commercial services, and the general aviation community. Other surrounding airports include SNA (Santa Ana, Orange County) and LGB (Long Beach)

The Amtrak Pacific Surfliner travels from San Luis Obispo County in the north to San Diego, hugging the coast much of the way for a scenic trip. The closest stop to Carlsbad is Oceanside, about five miles away.
