OUR STORY
Four decades of raising the bar
Not a history lesson - the moments where a standard became an institution.
-
1983
Founded on a bold idea
The Katke family finds that many supplements don't meet clinical standards - so they start their own, rooted in science, integrity, & care.
-
1985
A new way to formulate
Working with Lyra Heller and Dr. Jeffrey Bland, Metagenics helps pioneer evidence-based formulation: formulas designed around real patient outcomes, not guesswork.
-
1992
Teaching the field
Dr. Bland establishes the Institute for Functional Medicine, training practitioners worldwide in nutritional and functional medicine. Education becomes as much of the work as manufacturing.
-
2000
One company, one lab
HealthComm International merges with Metagenics and clinical research moves in-house at Gig Harbor, Washington - trials, safety work, and formulation under one roof.
-
Today
50,000+ practitioners worldwide
Headquartered in Jersey City, New Jersey, four decades into educating practitioners: the #1 doctor-recommended professional supplement brand in North America*, a Certified B Corporation - still guided by the same question, what is best for the patient.
TESTING
Transparency you can trust
200,000+ quality tests performed on ingredients and products globally.
What goes into a formula matters as much as what stays out. Every product undergoes rigorous quality checks - from ingredient identity and potency to purity and safety - before it reaches you, with each standard serving a specific purpose. Non-GMO status is verified at the product level; see the certifications below.

Our Approach
What healthcare professional grade means
It's a term people already attach to Metagenics. This is what it means to us - four commitments that shape every formula
-
Formulated to perform
Clinically studied amounts in forms your body can absorb - like magnesium glycinate, which is four times more absorbable than standard forms.
-
Tested like it matters
More than 200,000 quality tests are performed on ingredients and products globally.
-
Shaped by clinicians
Practitioner feedback helps guide our formulas and drive future innovation.
quality
Consistent quality you can feel
Every supplier is held to signed quality agreements, detailed
specification sheets, GMP requirements, and full disclosure of ingredient
content. We verify those standards through onsite audits, test each
incoming material using methods matched to its identity, and continuously
track supplier performance - taking corrective action whenever needed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Metagenics
Practitioners have trusted Metagenics for more than 40 years because our products are science-based, consistently tested, and made in certified facilities. Metagenics was originally built to serve healthcare professionals, and although our supplements are now available directly to consumers, we maintain the same commitment to scientific rigor, quality, and practitioner collaboration.
Experience that commitment with confidence, backed by our 60-Day Money-Back Guarantee.
Quality starts with formulation. Metagenics develops products from published research and its own clinical studies, choosing ingredient forms and amounts based on the science. With more than 65 scientific patents associated with our products, our commitment to innovation goes beyond following industry trends.
Our in-house research and development team translates emerging science into innovative formulations, while strict sourcing standards, batch testing at every production stage, and certified manufacturing help ensure every product meets our quality expectations.
We conduct more than 200,000 quality tests annually, voluntarily testing at multiple stages of production. Every batch is tested at three stages: ingredient, formula, and encapsulation. At each stage it’s checked for identity, purity, strength, and stability.
Our testing programs screen for more than 200 potential contaminants, including heavy metals, environmental toxins, microplastics, and oxidation before release, to ensure that what’s on the label is what’s in the bottle.
Yes. Metagenics products are made in GMP and NSF-certified facilities. Those certifications cover the facilities and quality systems that produce our products, and independent auditors regularly inspect them against FDA Good Manufacturing Practices and NSF/ANSI 455-2 and USP GMP audit standards.
The price reflects what goes into every bottle. With more than 40 years of collaboration with healthcare practitioners, we invest in science-backed formulations, rigorous ingredient sourcing, and extensive quality testing that goes beyond standard industry requirements. That includes $1.5 million invested annually in voluntary quality testing beyond FDA requirements.
Not every supplement brand tests at multiple stages of production or works with third-party auditors. That commitment helps deliver the consistent quality, purity, and potency you expect from a practitioner-trusted brand.
