Standard Process Celebrates 90 Years
MILESTONES
Advancing whole food-based nutrition and innovation
TAC
For 90 years, Standard Process has been providing high-quality, whole food-based nutritional supplements. The company was founded in 1929 by Dr. Royal Lee, whose whole food philosophy and goal was to make high-quality therapeutic supplements using vital nutrients as found in nature.
Headquartered in Palmyra, Wisconsin, the third-generation, family-owned company is led by Standard Process President and CEO Charlie DuBois. His passion for the business and industry started in high school when he spent summers working on the company’s farm hand-weeding beet fields. Today, DuBois proudly carries on the legacy of his great uncle, Dr. Lee.
“I’m truly humbled to follow in Dr. Lee’s footsteps, continuing to make exceptional whole food-based products nine decades later,” says DuBois. “It has been a remarkable journey, working together with chiropractors to help change patients’ lives.”
Supporting Your Patients From Soil to Supplement
The major issue affecting America’s health profile, and increasing incidence of chronic health problems, is difficult access to food with more nutrientand phyto-density, higher quality carbohydrate forms and lower sugar levels.
Dr. John Troup, Standard Process Vice President of Clinical Science, Education and Innovation says, “We’ve lost sight and awareness of selecting nutrient-rich whole foods and the health advantages they offer.”
Because so little of America’s farmlands are dedicated to organic, sustainable farming of nutrient-dense specialty crops, Standard Process owns and operates a 600-plus acre certified organic farm where they grow and start processing more than 80% of the raw plant ingredients used in their products.
Dr. Troup says, “Our goal is to deliver whole foods as nature intended. From soil to supplement, we begin the manufacturing process at our certified organic farm shortly after harvest, extracting nutrients and phytoactives in a manner that leaves the whole food matrix unchanged. This allows us to offer nutrient-dense, high-quality products while limiting the need to source and transport crops, which significantly depletes health benefits.”
And, their commitment to quality doesn’t stop there. In addition to adhering to and exceeding the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s good manufacturing practice requirements for the industry, Standard Process makes preserving the whole food complex the backbone of their exclusive manufacturing process, ensuring product quality and potency.
Leading a New Era of Innovation
Under DuBois’ leadership, Standard Process reaffirmed its commitment to whole food science and nutrition by opening the Nutrition Innovation Center in April 2018. Located at the Kannapolis, North Carolina Research Campus, the stateof-the art facility is the only active clinical research center dedicated to whole food science, nutrition and the clinical care of patients through integrative and functional healthcare approaches.
Managed by Dr. Troup, the Nutrition Innovation Center’s team of integrated practitioners and clinicians leverage new and emerging technologies and academic and clinical partnerships on campus and across the country to accelerate whole food product development and commercialization to help change healthcare in America and improve health outcomes for the important patients they serve.
Additional work is underway that demonstrates how nutrition provides supportive care as co-therapy with chiropractic treatment approaches, leading to accelerated improvements in patient outcomes.
The Nutrition Innovation Center also coordinates and offers leading training opportunities with continuing education credits for chiropractors, fueling their mutual goal to provide patients the latest, proven whole food-based nutrition information.
Loyal Chiropractic Brand
Due to longstanding partnerships with and philosophical connection between chiropractors and the company, Standard Process remains committed to helping the field grow and flourish.
DuBois says, “I want to extend our deepest appreciation to our Standard Process chiropractors for their brand loyalty over the years. Together, we use patient-centric approaches that best support the whole person, helping countless patients achieve optimal health through nutrient-rich, whole food-based solutions.”
The company also encourages patients to consult with their chiropractor before starting any supplement regimen for help determining which products may best support their health needs and goals.
