Our Story

Built on trust.
Powered by science.

Since 1989, Designs for Health has been a trusted leader in science-backed wellness solutions. Family-owned and practitioner-trusted, we are committed to quality, innovation, and supporting wellness at every stage.


A Legacy of Science & Trust

Designs for Health began in 1989 as a family-owned company dedicated to nutritional counseling. But a pivotal discovery reshaped our future—when we realized a product we endorsed lacked a key ingredient, we knew we had to do better. This commitment to transparency and quality led us to create our own formulations, grounded in science and trusted by practitioners.​
Our Science-First™ philosophy drives every decision we make. Backed by a dedicated science team and rigorous testing, we ensure every product meets the highest standards—because your health deserves nothing less.


Our Mission & Vision

Research Guides Us. Wellness Inspires Us.

Our mission is to bring wellness to humanity through evidence-based integrative medicine. We are visionaries for health — rooted in and united by science. We transform boundaries, set new standards, disrupt 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 to improve the quality of life for everyone through integrative medicine, 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 lifestyle converge.

We design a new paradigm. We design a well world.
