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.”

    The Ritz-Carlton, Pentagon City 1250 S Hayes St, Arlington, VA, United States
    Hybrid Event

    Menopause Care in the Longevity Era Longevity medicine is everywhere right now. Supplements, protocols, influencer clinics, patients walking in with questions about interventions their doctors have never heard of. What's missing from most of it is the evidence. The Midlife Women's Health Summit is three days on what the research actually says about menopause care when you add a longevity lens. What works, what doesn't, what's being oversold, and what to tell the patient sitting in front of you. Co-chaired by Lisa Larkin, MD, FACP, MSCP, IF, Jen Gunter, MD, FRCS(C), FACOG, DABPM, ABPMR, and Lauren Streicher, MD, FACOG, MSCP; three of the clearest voices in women's health on separating data from marketing.
