Standard Process is a long-standing, family-owned company that makes practitioner-grade, whole-food–based supplements from farm to bottle. It was founded in 1929 by Dr. Royal Lee, a dentist turned nutritional pioneer, who believed health depends on unadulterated, nutrient-dense foods. Nearly a century later the company remains multi-generational and focused on whole-food nutrition. That legacy is part of why practitioners (including us) still turn to Standard Process when we want supplements that aim to support system-level, long-term health.
Standard Process grows many of its own ingredients on certified organic farms and works closely with partner growers. Their organic farming practices emphasize living soil, crop rotations, and avoiding synthetic pestici des and GMOs — a deliberate choice to protect nutrient density at the source. If you care what goes into a product before it’s produced, this is where Standard Process stands out.
Standard Process applies multiple layers of testing and in-process quality checks. They report frequent analytical testing using validated methods to verify identity, consistency, potency and purity of incoming materials and finished batches. For clinicians, this level of batch-level scrutiny lowers the guesswork when recommending a supplement. While specific certifications vary by product, Standard Process highlights organic certification for crops grown on their farms and uses recognized analytical methods and quality systems in manufacturing.
We choose Standard Process because their whole-food philosophy matches the way we practice: real nutrients, minimally processed, and rooted in food-based science. Their seed-to-supplement farming gives us full confidence in where ingredients come from, and their rigorous testing means every batch is clean, consistent, and exactly what it claims to be. Their formulas are designed with real clinical use in mind, and their long history of transparency makes them easy for us to trust. Most importantly, our patients feel the difference — these products consistently support the outcomes we work toward every day.
We also carry MediHerb, the herbal line partnered with Standard Process. It’s made with the same high standards—carefully sourced plants, precise testing, and consistent potency—so you’re getting reliable, clinically effective herbal support. MediHerb’s formulas pair beautifully with the whole-food approach of Standard Process, giving us an expanded toolkit to support your health naturally and effectively.
If you’re curious about a particular Standard Process product (ingredients, certification, or whether it’s right for your care plan), we’ll happily review the label with you and explain why we would (or wouldn’t) recommend it for your situation. Many Standard Process products are available directly through our office so we can ensure quality, proper storage, and correct dosing.
Note: You must be a patient in order to purchase Standard Process and Medi Herb products.
