Formulation Excellence

Patient One’s Research and Development team includes nutritionists, pharmacists, and scientists, with input from MDs and NDs. Our team takes great care in formulating products that supply optimal potencies and combinations of science-backed nutrients.

While we are always on the lookout for cutting-edge ingredients, we don’t use anything unproven in our products—ingredients in Patient One MediNutritionals are backed by extensive clinical data. Learn more about the science behind the ingredients we use in our Educational Library for Practitioners.

Our formulas are carefully calibrated to supply ideal dosages of each active ingredient, mirroring levels used in positive research studies.

We focus on selecting the best delivery form and special cofactors to optimize bioavailability to maximize nutritional benefits.The majority of our line is presented in Vegetable Capsules to promote complete and rapid absorption. Nearly our entire line is formulated to be Gluten Free and free of GMO ingredients (look for the Gluten Free and Non-GMO symbols in the product descriptions throughout our website). 


Quality Assurance and Control: Testing from Start to Finish

Patient One starts with premium-grade raw materials sourced from the industry’s most reputable suppliers.

Raw materials are then quarantined for testing prior to manufacture. Every single batch is tested for identity and purity in our microbiology laboratory, to ensure that the raw materials are potent, pure and free of contaminants.

Quality Assurance continues once raw materials are approved for manufacture. Dozens of in-process checks are performed and documented as each supplement batch is produced.

Patient One's finished supplements are tested to ensure quality control. Samples are brought back to the lab from every single lot made to confirm absolute product purity, testing for heavy metals and other known contaminants.

Finally, laboratory assays are conducted that certify that each supplement contains the exact ingredients and potencies that are listed on the label.
