Bioclinic Naturals
Health pioneers join forces

“A health care professional only wants to recommend and offer patients natural supplements that he or she KNOWS are pure, potent and efficacious,” explains Dr. Joseph E. Pizzorno, Jr., ND, one of the world’s leading authorities on science-based natural medicine and co-creator of Bioclinic Naturals. “That is why we have worked with North America's top supplement developers and manufacturers to create Bioclinic Naturals for clinicians and their patients.”

As a renowned naturopathic physician, educator, researcher and natural health pioneer, Dr. Pizzorno’s honours, credits and accomplishments are too numerous to list here. He was founding president of Bastyr University, the first accredited university of natural medicine and the first National Institute of Health-funded center for alternative medicine research. He is founding editor-in-chief of Integrative Medicine: A Clinician’s Journal, the most widely distributed peer-reviewed journal in the field and is the Integrative Medicine and Wellness expert for WebMD, making him one of the most “listened to” experts in the field of natural medicine today.

Over the past several years, Dr. Pizzorno and fellow naturopath physician, author and health expert, Dr. Michael T. Murray, collaborated with the Factors Group of Nutritional Companies, Canada's leading supplement and functional food manufacturer and maker of the popular top-selling natural health food store brand, Natural Factors, to develop the ultimate line of supplements for professional, clinical use.

Asked how their Bioclinic Naturals products are different from other professional supplements, Dr. Murray explains, “There are some gaps in the range of supplements currently available. As NDs we follow six guiding principles and Bioclinic Naturals products specifically support and align with these. In developing this product line we focused on physiology-specific solutions, with unique formulas for men and women. At the same time, we kept in mind the importance of optimum nutrition for whole body – whole life health. Of course Bioclinic products are pure, potent, safe and effective, and we have designed them specifically for use under professional guidance, to achieve therapeutic results for the patient.”

Dr. Pizzorno adds, “Helping people achieve and maintain optimum health has always been our reason for working in this field. Dr. Murray and I have written many books, for both health care professionals and the public, shared our knowledge through the media, teaching and public events, worked on educating generations of NDs at Bastyr, and we still want to provide real help as broadly as possible. With Bioclinic Naturals we are offering North America's health care professionals the finest evidence-based natural health products, backed by science and supported with truly professional educational tools. I believe this is a valuable way to help create a healthier society.”

Bioclinic Naturals unique products

Bioclinic Naturals was launched in August 2009 with an initial offering of 25 innovative, pure and potent formulas. Extensive consultation with health care professionals in the field, doctors, scientists, nutritionists and patients, provided the initial guidance for the Bioclinic Naturals line. These unique formulas were designed to fill certain gaps that face health care professionals when they create supplementation programs for their patients. They address the health concerns that matter most to patients and provide the greatest confidence to natural health care professionals.

Not available to consumers directly or to health stores, Bioclinic Naturals is a new generation of evidence-based natural health products, supported with exceptional educational tools. Bioclinic Naturals’ commitment is to offer health care professionals products that are:

• Research driven and clinically proven

• Condition-specific and therapeutically unique

• Formulated by fellow health care professionals

• Laboratory tested

• Safe, pure, and effective

• 100% natural

• Affordable without compromising quality.

Bioclinic Naturals commitment to quality – from raw materials through clinical testing – means these products are pure, potent and effective, to earn and deserve the trust of clinicians and their patients.

“We know what it's like to work with patients. We know how important it is to ensure supplement quality – from organic raw materials, through formulation, testing and packaging – and we know that health care professionals and their patients can trust all Bioclinic Naturals products. That’s why we created them,” adds Dr. Murray.

Education for professionals

Natural health students and professionals have come to rely on Drs. Pizzorno and Murray for superior educational texts, including their definitive Textbook of Natural Medicine, used by students and health care professionals throughout North America and the world.

The two experts have now written the soon-to-be-released Clinical Guide as a resource for clinicians who want to provide their patients with evidence-based, integrative medicine care. The Clinical Guide presents a functional medicine review focusing on 10 aspects of clinical practice including common dysfunctions; causes for dysfunctions; methods of assessment using signs, symptoms and laboratory tests, including an objective ranking of their predictive value; and natural health approaches and products known to be effective for these health concerns. Guaranteed to be an industry bestseller, The Clinical Guide will be available for order online at www.bioclinicnaturals.com.

Bioclinic Naturals clients also receive a comprehensive Product Reference Guide of all Bioclinic Naturals products featuring product specifications and clinical highlights reference material for use in clinical application. And to further support clients, Bioclinic Naturals provides patient guide booklets, professionally written with your patients’ health needs in mind.
