Shop NowStandard Process supplements aren't a product line I simply carry in my office — they're something I've personally used my entire life. I grew up with these supplements in my own home, and I stand behind them 100%. Over the years in practice, I've watched patients experience genuinely life-changing improvements in their energy, digestion, and overall well-being after we identified their whole food nutritional needs and built a plan around them. That track record is exactly why I recommend Standard Process supplements to my patients and their families without hesitation.
Learn More About Standard Process
Standard Process traces back to 1929, when a Wisconsin dentist and inventor named Dr. Royal Lee grew concerned that modern food processing was stripping foods of the nutrients people needed to stay healthy. His answer was Catalyn®, the company's first whole food supplement and still a flagship formula today. Nearly a century later, Standard Process remains a family-owned company, now led by a member of the next generation of the Lee family, and continues to grow many of its own ingredients on a certified organic farm in Wisconsin — carrying Dr. Lee's original belief that “without vitality in the soil, there is no vitality in the bottle” all the way from soil to supplement.

| Aspect | Whole Food Concentrate (Standard Process) | Isolated / Synthetic (~95% of supplements) |
|---|---|---|
|
Content |
Concentrated from actual foods (fruits, vegetables, yeast, rice bran, etc.) |
Often derived from petroleum, coal tar, hydrogenated sugar, or industrially processed chemicals |
|
Molecular Structure |
Nutrient stays bundled with its naturally occurring cofactors (enzymes, coenzymes, trace minerals, other unidentified factors) |
Nutrient is isolated/fractionated from its food matrix; missing companion cofactors |
|
Synergy |
Components work synergistically with the body— “whole is greater than sum of parts” |
Isolated/synthetic nutrients lack this synergy and can’t replicate whole-nutrient function |
|
Body’s Handling |
The nutrient is recognized and metabolized like food |
Nutrient is treated like a foreign substance (“xenobiotic”) that the body works to excrete |
|
Dosage Pattern |
Naturally modest amounts, similar to what’s found in food |
Often very high potencies (e.g., 100%+ of daily value or more), synthetic red flags |
|
Label Language |
Ingredients read like food (e.g., “acerola cherry powder,” “carrot powder”) |
Ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbate (hydrogenated sugar processed with acetone) |
Standard Process whole food concentrates retain the full nutrient complex found in real food — the enzymes, cofactors, and trace minerals nature packages alongside it — and they’re grown on a certified organic farm, refined over nearly a century of quality standards. Compare that to the roughly 95% of supplements on store shelves that are isolated or synthetic: a single compound manufactured in a lab, stripped of the co-factors that help your body actually use it, with sourcing and quality control that varies widely from brand to brand.
In my own clinical experience, it’s simply a superior standard, and it’s the only line I’m comfortable putting my name behind.
