Similar products for patients and clients

Overview

We’ve curated similar products for most of the items in our catalog to help avoid disruptions to your supplement plan when backorders occur unexpectedly. Similar products help to identify alternatives to the products you know and trust. These similar product suggestions are objectively selected based on ingredients, formulations, delivery form, and dose; we don’t assume which health condition is being addressed and don’t recommend alternative products based on clinical outcomes.

Shortages most often occur when there are unavoidable supply chain issues, including, but not limited to, trouble sourcing raw materials, disruptions to manufacturing practices, supplier-initiated recalls, and delivery-related disruptions. Similar products will share common ingredients, dosage instructions, and formats (i.e., capsules, tablets, etc.).

Note:

We recommend contacting your practitioner if you have any questions about specific products and whether they’re a good fit for you.
