Integrative Therapeutics Excellence – Investing In Your Future & Ours
Since our founding more than 30 years ago, we’ve been looking to the future as we grow and expand our operations, looking beyond regulations, and striving to define the cutting edge of quality that only a pure combination of science and nature can provide.
Not All Supplements Are Created Equal
While supplements are not intended to prevent or treat disease, we see no reason why they shouldn’t be manufactured under the same quality standards as drugs. Patients are more aware of quality issues because headline news questions the safety of everything from toys to plastics to foods. We believe patients deserve to not only get results from their supplements, they deserve piece of mind, too.
A World-Class Manufacturing Facility
A manufacturing facility is a critical measure of a product’s quality. At Integrative Therapeutics, we’ve gone above and beyond general requirements to implement additional controls to ensure quality and safety in everything we do.
Our Facility Features
- Controlled security card access
- Separate rooms for dissimilar operations to prevent cross-contamination
- Temperature, humidity, and air pressure controls that are continually monitored to preserve material integrity
- HEPA filtration to remove microbes and dirt particles from the air
Every Step Is Documented
As an FDA-registered drug establishment, our documentation requirements are far more rigorous than dietary supplement manufacturers. These requirements ensure each product meets specifications for identity, purity, quality, strength, and composition.

Consistent results
Such thorough and complex documentation may seem extreme. But no one Standard Operating Procedure bears more weight than the next. It is the totality of all of these procedures and records that provides the insurance needed to produce consistent product and effective results.
“My patients rely on me to help them restore their health and well being. I rely on the natural medicines from ITI to help get the job done.
The purity of ITI's process from start to finish gives me peace of mind. ITI maintains an extraordinary level of quality assurance and conducts thorough, extensive testing of their raw ingredients and final products at each step of manufacture and packaging. These rigorous standards are akin to the level of quality assurance found in the production of semiconductors. I prescribe ITI supplements with complete confidence that what is on the label is in the bottle, and nothing else.
Many of my patients have allergies and sensitivities and have a history of reacting unfavorably to many supplements. When I prescribe ITI products, these sensitive people experience no side effects. They are delighted to return to health. I am confident each and every time I prescribe an ITI product. My patients' joy and satisfaction says it all.”
