About
Standard Process is a third-generation, family-owned nutritional supplement company founded in 1929 that manufactures whole food-based supplements distributed through health care practitioners. The company grows the majority of its raw plant ingredients on its own 623-acre certified organic farm, then processes them using proprietary techniques like Refractance Window Drying to preserve nutrient density. This vertical integration from soil to finished product gives Standard Process direct control over ingredient quality in ways few competitors can match.
The company's product portfolio includes Standard Process whole food supplements, MediHerb herbal supplements, POSSIBLE active lifestyle nutrition products, and Royal Lee Organics whole grain foods. Each product is formulated to support specific body systems and designed to deliver complex nutrients as close to their natural state as possible. Standard Process maintains strict quality control through its own testing protocols and ensures all finished products meet label claims and safety standards.
Standard Process operates from a holistic philosophy that extends beyond products to encompass how the company farms, manufactures, and distributes. The company established the Nutrition Innovation Center to conduct clinical research that validates current practices and informs product development. With over 90 years of practitioner relationships and a commitment to non-GMO, organic ingredients, Standard Process positions itself as a bridge between whole food nutrition science and practical health optimization for families and individuals.
