Douglas Laboratories Ultra Preventive X receives Gold Medal of Achievement

Douglas Laboratories, the trusted choice of health-care professionals for superior quality, science-based nutritional supplements for more than 50 years, is proud to announce that Ultra Preventive X has been named to NutriSearch’s “Best of the Best” list in the NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements. In addition to this distinction, Ultra Preventive X has consistently received a five-star product rating from NutriSearch.

The NutriSearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements criteria for this achievement are based on the quality of the product, research, formulation, and manufacturing. Additionally, the company must meet a pharmaceutical model for manufacturing and conduct label claim verification testing.

“We are honored to be recognized again by NutriSearch and to have Ultra Preventive X highlighted as a superior Multivitamin and Mineral formula,” said Tim Monk, Douglas Laboratories senior vice president of sales and marketing. “These milestones only add to our passion for providing the highest quality products to support health and wellness.”

One of Douglas Labs’ best-selling products, Ultra Preventive X is a unique formula that offers a blend of organic fruits and vegetables that lend to the completeness of the product, an important category for NutriSearch’s evaluation. This one-of-a-kind multivitamin also provides an antioxidant equivalent of 4 to 5 servings of fruits and vegetables, along with bioavailable forms of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, and beneficial nutrients, all selected while considering competitive relationship with other nutrients, allergenic potential, and tolerability.

“One unique ingredient used in the Ultra Preventive X formula is Metafolin,” said Dr. Andrew Halpner, Atrium’s vice president of product development and technical services. “Metafolin is a patented form of (6S) 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF). 5-MTHF is the naturally occurring, predominant form of folate commonly found in cells and is essential for overall health. Unlike folic acid, Metafolin can be used directly by the body without the need for additional conversion.”

  • PLMI 14th Annual Thought Leaders Consortium

    Loews Coronado Bay Resort 4000 Coronado Bay Rd, Coronado, CA, United States

    The 14th Annual Thought Leaders Consortium marks the culminating chapter of PLMI’s three-year exploration into the biology of immuno-metabolism, epigenetic regulation, and human longevity. Building on the 2024 and 2025 Consortia—which reframed chronic disease through immune-metabolic dysfunction and diet- and environment-driven epigenetic remodeling—this year’s gathering places mitochondria at the center of health, disease, and aging. Once viewed simply as the cell’s energy producers, mitochondria are now recognized as dynamic, epigenetically responsive organelles that integrate nutrition, environmental exposures, immune activation, stress signaling, physical activity, and circadian inputs into a unified metabolic-immune system. Disruption of mitochondrial function is increasingly implicated in fatigue syndromes, chronic pain, immune dysregulation, neurodegeneration, infertility, metabolic disease, accelerated aging, and diminished stress resilience. This advanced, science-driven Consortium convenes world-leading experts to explore mitochondrial biology as the cornerstone of immuno-metabolic resilience. Attendees will gain cutting-edge insights into mitochondrial signaling, mito-nuclear communication, and metabolic flexibility—alongside clinically actionable frameworks for restoring cellular vitality, reversing biological aging trajectories, and extending healthspan. Through deep scientific exploration and translational clinical strategy, the 2026 Thought Leaders Consortium will equip practitioners and researchers with the knowledge needed to redefine assessment, intervention, and long-term outcomes in personalized and lifestyle medicine.

  • Practical Clinical Skills in Neurotransmitter Optimization: Clinical Herbalism for Mood, Cognition & Aging

    Virtual Event

    Join us for the second part of this two-part virtual symposium! Mental health and neurocognitive disorders remain among the most prevalent and inadequately addressed challenges in modern clinical practice.  This intensive, expert-led symposium provides a comprehensive, clinically grounded framework for integrating herbal and nutraceutical strategies into mental health care. Attendees gain a working understanding of how targeted herbal interventions modulate key neurotransmitter systems, including serotonin, dopamine, GABA, and cortisol, and how to apply these therapies strategically, whether as adjuncts to pharmaceuticals or as standalone options. Clinical applications span a wide spectrum, from anxiety and depression to Parkinson’s-related motor symptoms and age-associated cognitive decline, with a strong emphasis on practical implementation and patient-specific protocol design.

The Pharmacy of the Sacred Forest: Medicinal Plants and Ancestral Wisdom of the Jola Healers (Gambia)

By Dr. Josep Lluís Berdonces – “Out of sight, out of mind,” goes a traditional proverb that Malang often repeats. The destruction of sacred forests, the loss of local languages, the disappearance of wise elders without passing on their knowledge: all of this represents a cultural and therapeutic catastrophe of incalculable dimensions.
