Doctor FAQ
Why should I establish an account with Professional Formulas?
For more than 30 years, we have provided practitioners with individualized products that are easy to use and clinically proven, even for tough cases. Our high-quality products work on their own or synergistically with your existing protocols for improved patient outcomes. And we back our products with personal service and exceptional support.
What kinds of products do you sell?
We offer a broad line of targeted macronutrients and homeopathic remedies. So it is easy for practitioners to individualize treatment plans focused on specific symptoms or conditions, body systems, organs, allergens, pathogens, or toxins.
How do I establish an account?
We only sell products to licensed practitioners who have established accounts with us. If you qualify, we only need a little information and a copy of your license or certification. Please see the New Account page for more information.
If you are a patient or consumer, we encourage you to find a healthcare practitioner to guide you on your journey toward improved health. We do not sell our products directly to patients.
Our resale policy prevents the unrestricted sale of our products online and we work diligently to enforce this policy. Consequently, if you find our products advertised online, we would strongly discourage you from purchasing them as their authenticity and chain of custody are unknown.
Why don't you sell to patients or consumers?
Our products are designed for use under the supervision of a trained practitioner who plays a vital role in assessing patient health, selecting the right natural medicines, and monitoring treatment.
Are you GMP-compliant?
Our nutritional products are all manufactured in an NSF-certified, GMP-compliant facility and our homeopathic remedies are all hand-succussed in our own FDA-registered OTC drug facility, which is held to even higher GMP standards. We are among a very small number of natural medicine companies that have been FDA-inspected for GMP compliance under the OTC drug regulations.
See our quality page for additional details.
Where do you source your raw materials?
We strive to procure the finest raw materials, which we source from all over the world. Please see our quality page to learn more about our holistic approach to quality.
What does hand-succussion mean?
Our homeopathic lab combines the best of modern science and traditional production techniques. Remedies are potentized using a process that involves serial dilution and succussion. We succuss (i.e.; shake/mix) remedies by hand in a traditional manner that has been used for hundreds of years to help millions of patients. Based on feedback we regularly receive from practitioners, we believe homeopathic remedies produced via hand-succussion are more effective than others.
Why do you produce multi-potency combination remedies?
Homeopathic remedies with more than one ingredient are called combinations. Finding an effective combination remedy for a given symptomatic profile is easier than finding the right constitutional remedy. Similarly, multi-potency remedies make prescribing easier since they increase the likelihood of providing a potency that the body will respond to. We also have many constitutional remedies for practitioners who prefer classical homeopathy.
What are New Zealand Glandulars and why do you use them?
Our glandular materials are carefully harvested from bovine, porcine, and ovine sources in New Zealand, where the animals are naturally range-fed on pristine grasslands with no pesticides or herbicides. New Zealand glandulars are widely considered the world’s most pristine.
Are your products backed by clinical evidence?
All our products have been time-tested in clinical practice. Some of our products are also supported by scientific studies on particular ingredients or combinations.
Are your products organic, gluten-free, vegetarian, and/or hypoallergenic?
Many of our products meet these criteria. Products that are gluten-free, vegetarian, hypoallergenic, and/or organic are clearly indicated on the labels when applicable. If you have questions about a particular product, please contact us.
How do I obtain price sheets, a catalog, or other product information?
If you have never ordered from us, we will ask you to establish an account before we can provide these materials. If you already have an account, we would be delighted to provide you with extensive product resources.
Can you custom-manufacture products?
We may have an existing product in our extensive line that will meet your goals. If not, we can produce certain custom products, sometimes even in small quantities. Please contact us by phone to inquire about details.
Do you have test kits available?
Yes, we offer standard test kits for various parts of our product line and we can provide customized kits if you have interest in specific products. Please contact us for details.
Do you offer any discounts?
We work hard to ensure our high-quality products remain affordable for our practitioners and their patients. Additionally, when you purchase 11 of any single product, we will send you the 12th for free (some limitations apply).
What is the minimum order size?
We do not have minimums, so practitioners can order what they need, when they need it.
Can you ship directly to patients?
Yes, practitioners can choose to drop-ship products directly to their patients. Some practitioners use this service to minimize or eliminate their own medicinaries, while others use it for products they don’t normally keep on-hand.
What are your shipping charges?
We offer free shipping on orders over $200 and low, flat-rate shipping on smaller orders within the US. Details can be found on our price sheets as well as in our catalog. For expedited shipments, prices vary depending on weight and location. Please contact us for more information.
