Designs for health

Our Mission:

Designing a Well World

We are driven by a higher purpose. We are activists for health—rooted in and united by science. Transforming boundaries, breaking barriers, setting new standards, disrupting the status quo.

We believe in science-based nutrition and natural medicine, developing health products without compromise, and advancing the way education and technology support wellness for all.

We will keep discovering. We will keep connecting. We will keep fearlessly advocating for the greater good. So that one-day, natural medicine and the science of nutrition stand at the forefront of the healthcare landscape.

Here, holistic thinking comes first. Functional medicine becomes conventional medicine. Supplements and lifestyles converge. A wellness epidemic begins. We design a new paradigm.

We design a well world.

Our Origins:

Family, Integrity and Innovation

In 1989, Designs for Health began as a family-owned company offering nutritional counseling and educational services with deep roots in natural medicine and functional nutrition. Three decades later, we have stayed committed to the integrity of our products, customer service, company operations, and family values.

Through that commitment, Designs for Health has established itself as the leading innovator and fastest growing brand of high-quality nutritional supplements in the healthcare practitioner channel. With one of the largest and widest range of nutritional supplement lines, we are focused on successful patient treatment outcomes exclusively to health professionals.

We take pride in research-driven, evidence-based products created with synergistic formulations offering meaningful quantities of therapeutic ingredients. As leaders in research and innovation, we continue to raise the bar and elevate standards for the supplemental health care industry.

The Science-First philosophy follows scientific evidence rather than trends. The result is superior quality ingredients with proven efficacy for optimal results.
