Designs for Health

Designs for Health in five points

It is one of the most respected brands in functional medicine, and one of the least known to the general public, because it was born to be recommended and not to sit on a shelf.

1. Family-owned and independent company

Founded in 1989, it started in nutritional counseling and moved on to creating its own formulas. More than 35 years later, it remains family-owned and independent, continuing to treat quality as the criterion that dictates everything else: which ingredients to use, in what doses, and through whom to sell.

2. Science-First

This is how the brand describes its method: starting from clinical research to choose ingredients, rather than starting from cost. It maintains its own scientific team, with a clinical director, heads of research and development, and dedicated educators.

3. Each ingredient is third-party tested

Raw materials are analyzed for identity, potency, and purity in ISO-certified external laboratories, and monitored for heavy metals, pesticides, and microbiological contamination. The finished product is analyzed to confirm that the amounts on the label correspond to the contents of the package.

4. Where and how it is manufactured

Manufacturing takes place in FDA-inspected facilities, with control and documentation systems aligned with industry standards and certifications: NPA, NSF, good manufacturing practices applicable to over-the-counter drugs, and those of the Australian TGA authority. The company operates a network of facilities, with the same standards in all of them.

5. Made for the professional channel

It was designed to be sold through doctors, nutritionists, and therapists, with its own training programs and a public ingredient library where it describes every raw material it uses. If you are taking medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a diagnosed condition, it is a brand where it is truly worth talking to a professional before starting.
