Dear Veterinary Professional,
For more than 80 years, Standard Process has been committed to developing nutritional supplements that help
improve and enhance quality of life for people. Using the principles of our founder, Dr. Royal Lee, we also deliver
supplements specifically designed for animals with Standard Process Veterinary Formulas.
In the 1920s, Dr. Lee focused on developing whole food supplements for humans because he saw an immediate
need for a more natural approach to health care. Realizing the benefits of whole food supplements, veterinarians
began to use Standard Process’ human products for their patients. With the increasing interest in whole food
supplements for animals, our customer profile grew over the years to include many veterinarians. While the
Standard Process human products helped animals live better lives for many years, we realized that there were
differences between animal and human nutritional requirements that needed to be addressed. This prompted us
to develop a supplement line specifically designed for animals.
As with all our products, the Standard Process commitment to quality remains constant. We control the quality
of our products from the time seeds are planted on our certified organic farmland until the final product is
produced and distributed from our state-of-art manufacturing facility. In doing so, we continuously produce highquality nutritional supplements made with whole food and other ingredients that improve our health and lives, as
well as those of our dogs, cats, and horses.
Standard Process is committed to you, the veterinary professional, just as you have dedicated your life to helping
animals. We have always believed that the best health care comes from trained professionals. We continue to stand
by this principle by only selling Standard Process Veterinary Formulas through veterinarians and other qualified
veterinary professionals.
We hope your patients enjoy the health benefits that Standard Process Veterinary Formulas provide.
Yours in health,
The DuBois Family

Our Veterinary Formulas
What Makes Our Veterinary Formulas Unique
Whole Foods and the Whole Food Philosophy
Since 1929, Standard Process has been dedicated to the field of nutritional supplements and the whole food
philosophy, introduced by our founder, Dr. Royal Lee. Dr. Lee’s goal was to provide nutrients as they are found
in nature—in a whole food state where he believed their natural potency and efficacy would be realized. Dr. Lee
believed that when nutrients remain intact and are not split from their natural associated synergists, known and
unknown, bioactivity is markedly enhanced over isolated nutrients. Following this philosophy, small amounts of
whole food concentrates will offer enhanced nutritional support compared to an isolated or fractionated vitamin.
Standard Process products are built upon this holistic philosophy.
The Key Is High-Quality Ingredients
As in any recipe, the quality of ingredients affects the quality of the final product. Manufacturers who grow their
own ingredients have absolute control over them, so Standard Process owns a certified organic farm. But for items
we can’t grow, Standard Process has an extensive, rigorous system of supplier auditing and validation. This allows us
to provide patients with a product that has been controlled, tested, and verified from beginning to end.

Our Veterinary Formulas
Take a Look at What’s Inside
Whole Foods—complete foods that are
minimally processed
If you read our product labels, you will find many recognizable
foods. Some of these whole food ingredients are grown locally
on our certified organic farm, including alfalfa, barley grass, beets,
Brussels sprouts, buckwheat, kale, kidney beans, oats, pea vine,
Spanish black radish, and sweet potatoes. This allows us to control
the quality of our ingredients from seed to supplement.
Whole Food Extracts—processed part of a
whole food containing two or more constituents of
the original whole food
These extracts are used when a beneficial concentration of
nutrients cannot be obtained using a whole food. Chlorophyll
extract is an example; it is derived from plant material and acts as
a stimulant for tissue health, maintenance, and regeneration.
Animal Tissue Extracts and Concentrates—health-supporting whole food ingredients derived
from bovine, ovine, and porcine sources
These tissues provide many essential nutritional compounds. It is the known and unknown substances contained
in the tissues that we believe provide nutrients and support for the corresponding tissues in the patient. All raw
animal tissues are obtained exclusively from U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA)-inspected facilities.
Protomorphogen™ Brand Extracts
Continuing the pioneering work of Dr. Royal Lee, certain Standard Process products contain specific
Protomorphogen™ brand extracts. Protomorphogen™ brand extracts provide an important adjunct for nutritional
support of cellular function. In the 1940s, Dr. Royal Lee pioneered a unique method of deriving extracts that
contain what he called cell determinants from specific organs and glands for clinical use. Dr. Lee believed that
these cell determinants functioned in cell regulation, maintenance, and interaction with tissue antibodies.
It is important to note that Protomorphogen™ extracts differ in manufacture from what are commonly referred
to as glandulars. Because our extracts are manufactured with an exclusive proprietary process, they should not be
confused with the more common ingredient known as a “glandular.”
“The Best Sources of Vitamins
and Minerals Are Found in
Whole Foods.” —Dr. Royal Lee

Our Veterinary Formulas
Cytosol™ Brand Extracts
Cytosol™ brand extracts are derived from the cytoplasm of selected organs and glands. These extracts contain
cellular factors such as hormone precursors and synergistic cofactors that are the biochemical building blocks
essential to cellular metabolism. ProtomorphogenTM and CytosolTM extracts offer complementary support to
organs and glands.
Whole Desiccates
Whole desiccates are whole tissues that have been dried to provide the nutritional content of the organ in a
concentrated form.
Botanicals—plant compounds with health-supporting properties
Botanicals provide important factors that contribute additional support to the body’s systems by complementing
the vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and tissue concentrates found in foods.
Whole Food Isolates—single components from a whole food
Sometimes levels of specific nutrients are not available in sufficient quantities in foods to address certain health
challenges. In this case, we use evidence-based food isolates to complement whole food ingredients and provide
optimal nutritional support. Isolates like glucosamine are used in our products because they are well researched
and have strong evidence for efficacy. Isolates derived from whole food sources are combined with other whole
food ingredients to maximize their efficacy.
Synthetic Ingredients—a nutrient produced by chemical means
We believe Dr. Lee included synthetics in his original formulas to meet label claims and/or enhance product effect.
Historically, and still today, this type of ingredient is used selectively. Where synthetics appear, they’ve been added to
protect the complexity and synergistic design of the formula.

Canine Formulas
Canine Formulas
Since dogs are omnivores, the canine formulas contain a variety of ingredients, including a balance of animal
tissues and botanical materials. These ingredient combinations provide a spectrum of nutrients to support
multiple organs. Most of the canine formulas are powdered to accommodate the range of body weights in
the canine population.

▶▶Help adrenal glands respond normally to stress and metabolic demands
▶▶Support the glands’ ability to rebuild and regenerate
▶▶Provide vital nutritional support to related organs

Brussels sprouts and kale: Cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprouts and kale influence
detoxification pathways.These vegetables contain compounds called glucosinolates and an
enzyme called myrosinase.When crucifers are cut or chewed, myrosinase enzymes act on
the glucosinolates to make them into other compounds that have demonstrated (via cell,
animal, and epidemiological studies) an increase in the activation of detoxification enzymes.1, 2
Chamomile: This well-known herb has a long history of traditional use as support for the
stomach lining, complete digestive system, and immune system balance. Chamomile is also
thought to act as a natural calmative that relaxes while still maintaining a positive energy
level. Equine GI Support contains chamomile that is standardized to contain 1.2 percent
apigenin, a key flavonoid linked to a number of health effects in animal studies.3, 4
Equine Formulas
Key Ingredients
This ingredient could be considered a controlled substance by certain entities that govern equine competitions. We advise those who feed any supplement to competing
horses to check with the governing body specific to the event regarding whether the product contains ingredients that could be considered a controlled substance.
Inulin: This nondigestible fiber supports the cecum in horses. Levels of up to 2 percent
in feed improved fermentation in the cecum without any adverse effects. In humans, inulin
shows preferential support for Bifidobacteria populations, while promoting healthy bacteria
and pH in the gut. Inulin also supports immune-cell function and antibody production in the
gut, absorption of calcium and magnesium, and healthy elimination. 5, 6, 7, 8
L-glutamine: Glutamine is an amino acid that is used as a building block for other amino acids and compounds
like glutathione. Some of our cells that require a lot of energy (like those in the gut) can use glutamine as an energy
source. In this way, glutamine supports the integrity of the intestinal lining and the immune cells associated with the
intestines. This amino acid can be depleted by stress, which can in turn slow the body’s natural regeneration and

Vitamin E: This fat-soluble vitamin has antioxidant properties that support the body under stress. Stress is often
associated with an increase in oxidation products that could damage cells.
Clinical Perspective
“I have had the privilege of trialing the Equine GI Support supplement on several of my equine patients. In my findings,
this product was very beneficial for horses with temperament issues and for general GI support. Horses on the
supplement displayed a much calmer demeanor and appeared to be much more comfortable in their environment,
whether that was in a stall or out to pasture. Horses challenged by environmental factors before being put on
Equine GI Support showed improvement once put on the product.
“I feel very comfortable advising my clients to use Equine GI Support, because of its whole food ingredients and
because I know Standard Process does extensive quality control testing on all of its products.”
—Richard Tully, DVM | Standard Process supervising veterinarian of equine clinical research
“Sundi, my 9-year-old Percheron/thoroughbred mare that I use for dressage and jumping, had digestive issues and
frequently consumed dirt by the mouthful.Then a colleague of mine mentioned there was a GI product in the research
phases that had helped her own horse.Taking her suggestion, I started Sundi on Equine GI Support. Ever since, she has
had no further issues to speak of, and she has stopped eating dirt.
“It has been such a relief to have her feeling well consistently! Since starting Equine GI Support, Sundi has also seemed
quieter and more responsive overall, which makes riding and being around her much more enjoyable.”

Equine Immune Support
Product Overview
The equine immune system faces countless stressors
year-round. Training, competition, travel, environmental
factors, and lack of turnout can all take a toll.
Equine Immune Support is a complex supplement
for a complex system, caring for the interlocking cells
and organisms that coordinate activity to recognize
what belongs in the body and what doesn’t. Equine
Immune Support encourages an optimal immune
response—either defensively or offensively—to
safeguard the health, performance, and stamina
of the horse by supporting:
▶▶Immune-cell signaling
▶▶Antioxidant activities
▶▶Cell integrity
▶▶Nutritional status
This supplement is uniquely designed with whole food
and other ingredients to:

Key Ingredients
L-glutamine: This amino acid is a universal energy
substrate for cells throughout the body, especially
those of the immune system. Glutamine’s broad role in
metabolism supports the body’s natural regeneration
and healing processes.1, 2
Turmeric: In-vitro and animal studies have shown
that curcumin, just one of many phytochemicals
in turmeric, supports the downregulation of
inflammatory cytokines, displays antioxidant
properties, and modulates a wide range of
cell-signaling molecules.3, 4, 5

▶▶Turkey tail mushroom’s support for immune function is mainly
attributed to a protein-bound polysaccharide and has been shown
to support the antibody-mediated immune response.6
▶▶Shiitake has a long history of traditional use for immune stimulation,
cholesterol processing, and overall support for aging.7, 8
▶▶Reishi is traditionally used to support cholesterol already within a
normal range, blood flow, stamina, and antibody-mediated immune
response.9, 10, 11, 12
Equine Formulas
Mushrooms: Shiitake (Lentinula edodes), reishi (Ganoderma lucidum),
and turkey tail (Coriolus versicolor) mushrooms have a long history of
use for immune support in traditional Chinese medicine.
Vitamin A palmitate: This vitamin is critical for maintaining
epithelial-cell integrity, eye health, and kidney and immune function.
Vitamin A palmitate is included in Equine Immune for support of
epithelial tissue—a front-line barrier in immune response.13
Vitamin D: Receptors for vitamin D are in almost every immune
cell, and current research suggests that vitamin D helps regulate
T cells, leading to moderation of the normal inflammatory process.
Horses that are kept indoors or get limited sun exposure might not
have the opportunity to make sufficient endogenous vitamin D.14
Yeast culture: Yeast cultures have more than 60 years of use in
supporting immune status in animals, including livestock, poultry,
dogs, and cats. Research in horses suggests that the addition of
yeast cultures supports a healthy gut environment and nutrient
availability.15, 16, 17
Clinical Perspective
“I began trialing Equine Immune Support after determining that it was an interesting mix of safe and evidence-based
ingredients.We began several horses on the product that showed immune-related seasonal environmental issues. In
my observations, the horses on the Equine Immune Support showed less reactivity to environmental challenges and
substances in comparison to past springs and summers prior to using the supplement. Once the horses were put on
Equine Immune Support, these horses could proceed with few or no challenges.These horses were also subjectively
observed to be more comfortable in their environment and seemed more relaxed and less anxious. Changes in habits
were evident, especially tail-rubbing habits.”

Equine Metabolic Support:
Ingredients
Buckwheat flour, carrot powder, cinnamon, licorice
(root), green tea extract, cayenne, chromium yeast, and
vanadium chelate (rice and soy).
▶▶Promotes healthy glucose metabolism
and insulin function
▶▶Provides antioxidant activity
Suggested Use
¼ cup (37 g)/1,000 lb. horse/day, or as directed.
▶▶Supports the endocrine system
Equine Metabolic Support can be used for either
short- or long-term support.
Key Ingredients
Licorice root: There is evidence that licorice root can
help maintain glucose homeostasis as well as pituitary
hormone homeostasis.1 Licorice may directly impact the
underlying pituitary imbalance.
Warnings
For equine use only. Do not administer to cattle or other
ruminants. Keep all supplements out of the reach of
children and other animals. In case of accidental overdose,
contact a health care professional immediately.
Precautions
Safe use in pregnant animals or animals for breeding has
not been proven.
Cinnamon: There is evidence that components of cinnamon can modulate glucose homeostasis.2-13 By maintaining
normal glucose levels, it may be possible to bring other endocrine signals back to normal.
Cayenne (chili powder): As with cinnamon, there is increasing evidence that chili powder can help maintain
normal glucose levels. The mechanism is unclear. Regular consumption of chili may attenuate postprandial
hyperinsulinemia.5, 7 This ingredient could be considered a controlled substance by certain entities that govern equine competitions. We advise those who feed any supplement to competing horses to check
with the governing body specific to the event regarding whether the product contains ingredients that could be considered a controlled substance.
Buckwheat flour: Buckwheat seed and juice contain a variety of flavonoids including rutin. Flavonoids are
primarily found conjugated to sugar molecules. In this form there is evidence that they can compete with other
sugars for uptake into the body. This might effectively slow the absorption of sugar and lessen the postprandial
glucose surge. This would lessen the concomitant insulin spike. In addition, rutin has been implicated in the
maintenance of capillary integrity and, along with the other flavonoids, provides antioxidant activity.14-19
Green tea extract: Contains catechins/polyphenols that may work in a similar fashion as the flavonoids found in
buckwheat. Additionally, catechins/polyphenols have strong antioxidant properties and interact with a number of signaling
pathways related to immune system response.
Chromium: Potentiates insulin actions and combines with several other components to make the glucose
tolerance factor.20-26
Vanadium: Can mimic insulin’s actions. It is possible that by slowing glucose metabolism, improving blood glucose
levels, and mimicking insulin’s actions, circulating levels in a horse with metabolic challenges may be reduced.27-34

Figure 1: Average serum level and corresponding blood glucose
Twenty-nine horses were identified with
elevated insulin, which can be associated
with challenges to the metabolic
system. Four veterinarians participated
in the evaluations and recommended
appropriate changes in diet and
exercise. The animals were given ¼ cup
(approximately 2 ounces) of Equine
Metabolic Support daily for four months.
Results
The response in fasting insulin levels
varied but predominantly decreased
(20 animals). Six animals had variable responses, and three animals had increased circulating insulin levels. Figure 1
shows the average serum insulin level and corresponding blood glucose levels over the course of the trial for all
animals. Even though blood glucose levels rose slightly, they still remained within the normal range for a horse.

Clinical Evaluations
Clinical Perspective
“Rico is a 21-year-old Paso Fino gelding who has won multiple titles in his lifetime. At the start of the study, he was
overweight with a body score of 8 out of 9. He was lame and had a fasting serum insulin of greater than
1,600 pmol/L. His neck was heavy and
cresty. He had fat pads, especially on the
thorax and around his tail. He was placed
on a course of Equine Metabolic Support.
He lost significant mass on his neck, the fat
pads dramatically diminished, and his fasting
serum insulin was less than 200, all after just
one month on Equine Metabolic Support. His
body score was estimated at 6 out of 9.
He was also walking without evidence of pain.
It should be noted that Equine Metabolic
Support was the only treatment Rico received.
Rico subsequently went off Equine
Metabolic Support after five months,
and his body score returned to a level
approximately 8 out of 9.The owners have
now put Rico back on Equine Metabolic
Support, and he is responding in a manner
to that originally observed.”

▶▶Supply omega-3 fatty acids
▶▶Supplies antioxidant activity to help protect against
damage from free radicals
▶▶Supports a healthy inflammatory response and full

Key Ingredients
Precautions
Safe use in pregnant animals or animals for breeding has
not been proven.
Glucosamine sulfate: An important component of
cartilage growth, maintenance, and repair. While research is
ongoing in horses, meta-analysis of human clinical trials has confirmed the value of glucosamine in support of bone
health.1, 2, 3 In the horse, glucosamine has been implicated in regulation of matrix metalloproteinase expression, an
important enzyme working in joint tissues.4, 5
Chondroitin sulfate: An important component of the extracellular matrix of connective tissue. Low-molecularweight chondroitin sulfate is bioavailable in the horse, although to a limited degree.6 While the mechanism of
chondroitin sulfate action in joint health remains to be determined, chondroitin sulfate is an important component
of compounds found in various functional components of the joint.
Wheat germ oil: Provides a rich source of vitamin E, which promotes healthy circulation, enhances athletic
performance, and helps reduce muscle cramping.Vitamin E is an important lipophilic antioxidant implicated in a
number of physiological functions. Tocopherols support immune function and lessen the inflammatory response by
scavenging reactive oxygen species.
Flax meal: Contains significant levels of omega-3 fatty acids, specifically alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) and omega-3
fatty acids, which have been implicated in reducing the inflammatory response. Studies have shown that omega-3
fatty acids reduced inflammatory thromboxane and decreased endotoxin-induced TNF production in horses.7, 8
Ginger: Contains a broad spectrum of bioactive compounds. Several ginger compounds have well-documented
effects on the inflammatory response. For example, 6-gingerol and 6-paradol have such activity, while 8-paradol and
9-shagaol have been shown to inhibit COX-2 activity. This action may explain ginger’s historic uses.9, 10
This ingredient could be considered a controlled substance by certain entities that govern equine competitions. We advise those who feed any supplement to competing horses to check with the governing body specific to
the event regarding whether the product contains ingredients that could be considered a controlled substance.

Please consult the product packaging label for the most accurate product information.
Horses representing different breeds, ages, and gender were evaluated prior to initiating the study to define their
level of lameness. Animals having a spavin score of greater than 1 in a leg joint were recruited. Fifteen horses were
enrolled in the study and were given ¼ cup (approximately 2 ounces) of Equine Mobility Support daily for 60 days.
Equine participants were re-evaluated at 30-day intervals. Change in spavin score, or lack thereof, was noted after
30 and 60 days. Serum chemistries and complete blood-cell counts were performed prior to and during the study
to assure no unexpected side effects developed during the study.
With one exception, all horses showed improvement of aggregate spavin score (total for all limbs) by 30 days.
At 60 days, all horses showed continued improvement. In addition, there were no actionable changes in blood
chemistries. Subjective comments from the trainers involved indicated many animals showed greater range
in motion.
Second Trial:
Eighteen additional animals were recruited
for assessment. These animals were more
active (dressage, endurance, jumping,
therapy) and likely to exhibit different
stress symptoms/indicators on their
limbs. Sixteen animals finished the 60-day
trial with a similar protocol. The results
support those found in the initial trial.

Clinical Perspective
“Michael is a 21-year-old ex-racehorse that is very
active in his daily pasture turnout. Michael had been on
top-of-the-line joint supplements through the years. But
it wasn’t until we put him on Equine Mobility Support
that we saw significant improvement in his condition.
“He had been uncomfortable on a daily basis and
overtly lame on a weekly basis. He is now comfortable
in his retirement and his owner is very happy.
“It’s been a bonus that Michael readily consumes the
product. He’s quite picky about anything new in his
feed, but he readily ate the Equine Mobility Support
from the start.”

Key Ingredients
Precautions
Safe use in pregnant animals or animals for breeding has
not been proven.
Glutamate: Central to reactions that generate
energy and support the excretion of excess/waste
compounds from the body. The addition of this amino
acid during exercise supports tissue levels of glutamate
and alanine while also reducing ammonia during and
following exercise.1
L-glutamine: This amino acid is a universal
energy substrate for hard-working cells
throughout the body, like those of the immune
and gastrointestinal tract.2, 3
Nutritional yeast: A rich source of natural
B vitamins, nutritional yeast is included to support
overall cell functions, especially those related to
energy metabolism, as well as cognitive function.4, 5
34
Please consult the product packaging label for the most accurate product information.
Selenium: Selenium is part of the protection mechanisms within
cells. As an essential component of glutathione peroxidase, selenium
supports the metabolism of oxidation products within cells. Selenium
also plays a role in thyroid hormone metabolism.7, 8, 9
Equine Formulas
RNA: RNA contains nucleotides, the building blocks of energy
molecules like adenosine triphosphate (ATP), cytidine triphosphate
(CTP), and guanosine triphosphate (GTP). These molecules support
metabolism. The RNA in this product is added to provide a larger
pool of “raw materials” for the base energy systems that fuel the
body. RNA also provides ribose, an excellent energy source to
support peak performance.6
Tart cherry: Historically used for activity-based inflammatory
response, this ingredient’s mechanism of action is still unknown.
Human studies have found improvements in muscle strength and
comfort in those consuming tart cherry as compared to those
consuming a placebo.10, 11
Clinical Perspective
“I began trialing Equine Performance in several endurance horses after determining that the ingredients were both safe
and research based. In my observations of Equine Performance, I found that horses subjectively exhibited quicker pulse
and respiratory recovery times post-exercise, than they had prior to starting the supplement. Animals also appeared to
be more comfortable after exercise, showing less signs of cramping, exercise-related muscle soreness, and fatigue.This
perception of improved recovery is being evaluated by monitoring blood lactate levels.
“I recommend this supplement as a great way to support the equine athlete, and I feel comfortable advising clients to use
this product, because of its whole food ingredients and extensive quality control and safety testing.”
—Richard Tully, DVM | Standard Process supervising veterinarian of equine clinical research
“I have been using Equine Performance in my equine chiropractic practice. Equine Performance has cut the frequency of
adjustments and recovery time in half.The horses are able to hold their adjustments sooner and for a longer period of time.
“I had a 5-year-old saddlebred patient that several chiropractors and vets had seen but had never successfully relieved
of the inflammatory response over the sacral area.Within three days of using Equine Performance, there was a
dramatic decrease. Not to mention, the coat looked healthier, so the overall health of the animal had improved. Equine
Performance has become a staple in my practice, and I have used it on several breeds with a wide age range and have
yet to not see a difference.
“A 7-year-old quarter horse that had surgery two years ago and had pins and screws in the front right shoulder
stressed it somehow, causing massive swelling around the joint.The owner called me, and after one month of
adjustments and the Equine Performance, he is back to galloping around the field. Life changing!”

Feeding Tips
Here are a few tips to make sure horses consume their daily
dose of supplement:
▶▶Start slowly. Introduce the product in small amounts to let
the animal get used to the taste.
▶▶Make a wet feed so the powder mixes in with the rations.
This will also prevent the powder from falling to the bottom
of the bucket.
▶▶Mix with sugar-free applesauce and horse’s feed.
▶▶Make a mash using commonly found low-starch and pelleted
feeds or soaked hay cubes.
▶▶Mix with applesauce and syringe directly into mouth.

About Standard Process
For more than 80 years, Standard Process has provided health care professionals with high-quality nutritional
supplements with whole food ingredients. Our product formulas contain unique combinations of synergistic
ingredients to provide specific nutritional support to the body. Standard Process meets the most demanding quality
standards set by federal and state agencies, as well as by our own internal production and quality control departments.
Certified Organic Farming
Our founder, Dr. Royal Lee, emphasized the importance of producing high-quality supplements with whole food
ingredients. We are proud to be one of the few supplement manufacturers that can assure quality ingredients by
continuing our tradition of growing many of our raw materials locally and organically.
Quality Begins With a Healthy Harvest
The Kettle Moraine basin of Wisconsin contains nutrient-rich soil. It is here, on company-owned certified organic farmland,
that we grow strong, vital plants for use in our supplements.We regularly grow the following crops: alfalfa, barley grass, beets,
Brussels sprouts, buckwheat, kale, kidney beans, oats, pea vine, Spanish black radish, and sweet potatoes.
Organic Farming Methods
Nature has provided the foundation, and we use organic farming practices to ensure that the quality of our
farmland is maintained for years to come. In accordance with our organic certification, we follow strict guidelines to
grow our crops, keeping detailed records of our farming practices. Our farmland is monitored annually by certifying
agencies to ensure that only the approved farming practices are used. At Standard Process, we are involved from
the moment a seed is planted through shipping the finished product to your door.
Seeds
There is zero tolerance in an organic system for genetic modification. On the Standard Process farm, we use
certified organic seeds whenever they are available, whether they are purchased or saved from our own farm.
Untreated conventional seed is an option but is considered only after a diligent search is conducted and it is
determined that certified organic seed is not available.
Irrigation
Irrigation water is supplied from a naturally occurring artesian flowage below the farm’s surface.
Weed Control
Organic weed-control standards are strictly adhered to at the Standard Process farm. The main methods of weed
management include:
▶▶Cultivating
▶▶Mowing
▶▶Hand weeding
▶▶Cover crops—used for weed prevention and as a source of nitrogen and organic matter
▶▶Crop flamer—used to eliminate the last flush of weeds before vegetable emergence
▶▶Crop rotation—an effective weed-control, insect-control, and disease-control strategy
38
Composting
Standard Process utilizes composting, which is nature’s way of recycling, to increase fertility and soil health on the
farm. Composting is the biological process of breaking up organic production waste from the farm’s press room
into an extremely useful humus-like substance.
About Standard Process
Eco-Sensitive Processing
The majority of biodegradable byproducts produced during manufacturing are returned to the fields in a monitored,
land-spreading program. By doing this, we keep unnecessary wastes out of landfills and put nutrients back into the
soil to benefit crops in the following years.
Environmental Buffers
Our farm is surrounded on all sides by environmental buffers to minimize the impact of nonagricultural land and
synthetic inputs from conventional farming practices.
Manufacturing
Dr. Royal Lee, founder of Standard Process, said, “Whole foods are the best natural source of vitamins. The
key to the highest quality is the manufacturing process.” Because preserving the whole food complex is a top
priority when manufacturing our supplements, we base our formulas on Dr. Lee’s time-proven philosophies. Our
manufacturing process, from raw materials to finished product, takes an average of six weeks. Throughout the
process, raw materials are handled in a carefully controlled environment and continually tested for quality.
Exclusive Manufacturing Processes
Each process is precision designed to preserve the nutrients in raw materials.
Grinding
Immediately after harvest, whole foods grown on our certified organic farmland, such as
Brussels sprouts, are ground for further processing.
Juice Extraction
To capture the nutrients from raw materials such as buckwheat, alfalfa, and pea vine, the juice
is pressed from the plants and separated from the pulp. The result is a concentrated product
containing both fat- and water-soluble nutrients.
Separation Process
Selected animal tissues used to make our Protomorphogen™ and Cytosol™ extracts are ground
to create a liquid slurry.The slurry is subjected to our exclusive multistep separation methods. All
raw animal tissues are obtained exclusively from USDA-certified facilities.
Low-Temperature, High-Vacuum Dryers
Raw materials are dried in low-temperature, high-vacuum dryers to preserve nutrients.
39
We use isolated production suites for the following
processes. These suites enhance cleanliness in the
manufacturing area.
Quality Checks From Raw
Ingredient to Final Product
Supplier
audits
Mixing
Dried materials are measured and mixed with the utmost
precision. Because of the variability in natural and organic
ingredients, color, texture, and smell may vary from batch
to batch. However, the basic formula remains constant, and
quality is ensured by repeat testing.
Binding and Processing Aids
After mixing, our fluid bed granulator is used to add
natural binding ingredients, such as honey and arabic gum,
to the product batch for tableting.

About Standard Process
Continuing the Process
Tablet/capsule
preparation
Other processing aids we use include cellulose and
calcium stearate. Cellulose is often used to give body to
the powders. When needed, calcium stearate, derived
from vegetable sources, is used to help product release
from the tooling of the tablet and capsule machines. No
artificial flavoring is ever used.

Powders
In order to fill our powder formulas, Standard Process uses a volumetric filler. This system achieves very accurate
fills and provides a highly consistent product from batch to batch.
Tablets and Wafers
The tablet presses used by Standard Process allow for high-volume production without sacrificing quality control in
the manufacturing process. All of our finished tablets and wafers are routinely analyzed for content to ensure that
label claims are accurate.
Packaging
The veterinary products are sealed in green bottles. The color helps protect the food’s nutrients from damaging
light, while the sealed bottle helps prevent product oxidation. Induction seals and neckbands protect against
product tampering. The bottled product is then labeled and packaged in ecofriendly cardboard boxes providing easy
storage, protection, and shipping. For ease of dispensing, a scoop holding ¹⁄8 or ½ teaspoon has been added to each
box of the powdered canine formula, and a scoop holding ¼ cup is included in equine formulas.
Cleaning
In between product runs, all of the equipment used in our manufacturing process is taken apart, cleaned, and
sanitized. Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) testing is used to validate the effectiveness of the equipment-cleaning
process. In addition, the surrounding production suite, including the floors, walls, and vent covers, is cleaned.
Environmental Program
In order to monitor the general level of plant hygiene, Standard Process has implemented an environmental
monitoring program for the facility. This program allows for detection of any microorganism that may be found in
the facility, including the drains. The program is twofold. It highlights the presence of any foodborne pathogen that
may be in the facility and determines the source of these pathogens. Routine meetings between production and
quality control are held to maintain the highest level of cleanliness throughout all areas of the facility.
40
Standard Process has always taken great pride in its quality control program. Since the good manufacturing
practices (GMPs) for dietary supplements were published in 2007, many companies began to look at quality in the
way that we at Standard Process have been doing for decades.
Our team of scientists, composed of highly trained and degreed microbiologists and chemists, work meticulously to guarantee
our customers receive the highest-quality products. Our quality control unit ensures our label claims are met and testing is
performed after critical stages of production to confirm our products are free of bacterial contamination. Additionally,
shelf-life studies are conducted on each product to make certain that label claims are met throughout the life of the product.
Testing
Repeated testing on every batch throughout the manufacturing process enables us to ensure quality and safety of
our products. On average, a product is tested six times. Every week our scientists in our full-scale quality control
laboratory perform as many as 1,100 tests on raw materials, in-process product batches, and finished product. We
use analytical methods that have been approved by nationally recognized evaluative bodies, including the Association
of Analytical Communities (AOAC) and United States Pharmacopeia (USP).
About Standard Process
Quality Control
Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS)
Standard Process’ quality control department has fully validated and implemented the Nexxis iLAB laboratory
integrated management system (LIMS) by Labtronics. The system allows for a centralized storage location for all
data analysis conducted by the laboratory. This implementation has improved data analysis by ensuring quality and
accuracy of results, providing real-time data retrieval, preventing data errors, automating manual calculations, and
allowing for lab data to be accessed throughout the facility.
Chemistry
Standard Process chemists perform multiple assays to guarantee that our products meet or exceed label claims and
to ensure the viability of the product through its “best used by” date. We use the following instrumentation in
testing raw materials and final product mixes:
High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC)
Gas Chromatography (GC)
Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP)
High-Performance Thin-Layer Chromatography (HPTLC)
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
LECO ®
vitamins A, E, B6, B12, D; niacin; folic acid
solvents
minerals, heavy metals
botanical identification
raw material identification
protein analyzer
The chemistry laboratory personnel also conduct wet chemistry tests for a variety of things, such as: vitamin C,
vitamins B1 and B2, pepsin, bile salts, water activity, moisture, carotene, iodine, phosphorous, and chloride. The vast
testing capability of the chemistry laboratory allows Standard Process to verify the identity, purity, and strength of
our products and of the raw materials used in our products.
Microbiology
Standard Process microbiologists perform pathogen testing on every product batch to ensure the products are
safe to continue to the next stage of production. Testing is conducted on all facets of the manufacturing process,
including raw materials, mixing, milling, tableting, capsuling, and packaging. Raw materials, in-process products, and
final products are only released to the next stage of production by the quality control unit upon verification that
the material or product has passed all testing requirements.
Farm
Soil samples are taken annually to determine mineral and nutrient levels of the soil. No synthetic fertilizers or
pesticides are ever used in the organic growing process.

About Standard Process
Research and
Development
Dr. Royal Lee believed in the value of scientifically researched
supplements with whole food ingredients. He field tested,
endorsed, and supported clinical evaluations of his unique
nutritional supplements. Input from health care professionals
enabled him to enhance and perfect the health benefits of
Standard Process products.
Building for the Future
Standard Process is dedicated to continuing Dr. Lee’s research
and development practices by applying the latest technology and
expertise to his founding principles. We combine the evaluation
of current scientific research and Dr. Lee’s insights and teachings
with applied clinical research in our research and development
department.
Our research and development department consists of skilled,
professionally trained scientists who work to provide a scientific
basis for the safe and effective use of our supplements, herbs,
and other natural products for health care professionals.
Types of Research
The goal of our scientists is to gain a detailed understanding of the underlying biochemical components,
physiological activities, and population health applications of supplements with whole food ingredients.
Discovery Science
Discovery science is conducted using powerful analytical techniques including high-pressure liquid chromatography, gas
chromatography, and mass spectral detection to identify, quantify, and analyze key chemical markers within whole food
ingredients. Using plants grown in experimental test plots at our farm, our scientists evaluate which plant varieties
will survive and grow in our climate and determine appropriate harvest time to maximize nutrient content. Further
experiments with multiple laboratory models such as mammalian cell culture, biochemical assays, and measurement
of gene expression by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) are used to document the biological activity of
individual ingredients and finished products.
We use this approach to expand our understanding of Standard Process materials and are always working to inform
health care professionals, patients, and the scientific community about our findings through the publication of peerreviewed journal articles, presentations at international scientific conferences, and informational communications
undertaken by Standard Process.
Clinical Research
Clinical research is primarily conducted through collaborative relationships with conventional and complementary
research and educational institutions. This allows us to evaluate the effectiveness of new and existing whole
food supplements in large populations of patients and seeks to establish relationships between supplements and
improved health.
By collaborating with experts, we can use clinical research to explore the impact of supplements with whole
food ingredients on patients. The clinical research conducted by our research department allows us to continually
evaluate the effectiveness of our products.

What the ‘Best Used By’ Date Means
The “best used by” information, located on all product boxes and on the shoulder of all product bottles, represents
the date by which the product is best used by and the product code. The “best used by” date should not be viewed
as an expiration date but as a guideline for when products are considered 100 percent potent. Products tend to lose
potency over time but may still be considered effective after this date. Standard Process only guarantees product
potency up until the “best used by” date. Products are continuously tested to determine their shelf life. This testing
has shown that certain products tend to have shorter shelf lives, which is reflected in the “best used by” date.
How to Read the ‘Best Used By’ Information
Reading Labels
Reading Labels and the ‘Best Used By’ Code

pioneered a unique method of deriving extracts that
contain what he called cell determinants from specific
organs and glands for clinical use. He believed that
these cell determinants functioned in cell regulation,
maintenance, and interaction with tissue antibodies.
It is clear both from the description of the extraction
process and clinical use that these extracts differ
from what is commonly referred to as “glandulars.”
Furthermore, because these extracts have a distinct
clinical application and effect, they should not be confused
with glandulars, nor should they be referred to simply as
“protomorphogens.” Rather, Protomorphogen™ is the
trademark owned and used by Standard Process Inc. as a
brand name assigned to these uniquely derived extracts.
PMG™ is another trademark owned and used by Standard
Process Inc. as another brand name for these extracts.
