Supplements made from real food

Not all vitamins are created equal. Here is how Doctors' Research, one of the brands Dr. Brinkerhoff carries, explains the difference between food-form nutrients and isolated synthetic vitamins.

“Nutrition just as nature intended… from FOOD!”

According to Doctors' Research, Inc., its formulas:

  • Use 100% food nutrients with naturally occurring enzymes and co-factors
  • Don't use USP synthetic vitamins or inorganic mineral salts
  • Are third-party tested for quality and purity, including heavy metals
  • Are packaged in recyclable glass bottles
  • Are sold only through healthcare professionals

Food first

Nutrition that starts with real food

This is the idea behind the food-form supplements Dr. Brinkerhoff carries: nutrients as they occur in food, not isolated laboratory copies. The brochure images on this page are from Doctors’ Research; the photos in this section are decorative only.
