A New Era in Nutrition Innovation
Fueled by Innovation
Nutrition Research Driven by Our Commitment to Change Lives
At Standard Process, we’ve always been driven to excellence in our efforts to change lives through whole food nutrition. It started with our founder, Dr. Royal Lee, a born inventor and innovator. Today, we continue to elevate that commitment by investing in areas such as our Nutrition Innovation Center, advanced technologies on our farm, and valuable relationships that help us advance within the nutritional science field.
A First-of-its-Kind Nutrition Science, Technology, and Research Center
Headquartered at the North Carolina Research Center in Kannapolis, the Standard Process Nutrition Innovation Campus opened in early 2018 and is dedicated to developing and testing new products and solutions for health care practitioners and patients. The Nutrition Innovation Center not only inspires innovation, it also validates our whole food philosophy with scientifically based evidence. It is a place where corporations, universities, and health care organizations are able to forge a public-private partnership that is transforming science at the intersection of human health and nutrition. We built the Nutrition Innovation Center to help us impact and change health care in the United States through nutrition therapy.

Discovery Lab
Using our in-house, state-of-the-art capabilities, we are conducting innovative research on the targeted effects of plant phytonutrients on human health. This research includes comprehensive analytical profiling of active components in support of our innovations in nutrigenomics, epigenetics, and system biology. Through this research, we are able to develop new targeted formulations as well as substantiate existing ones.
Clinical Research
The Nutrition Innovation Center offers clinical development and research programs designed to advance whole-person care. It’s home to a national coalition of collaborating clinical research entities that together establish a network for practice-based and case observation-based studies. This program provides a collaborative environment for health care professionals trained in integrative and functional medicine – setting it up as the Clinic of the Future.
Education
The Nutrition Innovation Center brings together health care practitioners to advance learning opportunities through events, online learning through WholisticMatters, and offers Continuing Education (CE) credits. The education team fosters peer-to-peer collaboration by utilizing the professional learning center and clinics of the Nutrition Innovation Center to advance nutrition education and training.

Science Kitchen
In addition to being a hub for our product innovation and development, the Standard Process Science Kitchen offers a teaching opportunity for patients to help them learn new ways of preparing and cooking foods to stay healthy. By better understanding the science behind food, our Science Kitchen helps people to more easily adapt whole food nutrition into their daily lifestyles. This is one more way we change lives by helping people live a healthier lifestyle.
Nutritional Innovations and Insights That Inform the Way We Farm
Working with our Research & Development teams at the Nutrition Innovation Center, our farm team is able to apply learnings that inform the crops we grow, down to the plant strains. Our research also provides us with organic farming insights that we share with our colleagues and community to help advance organic agriculture as a whole.
Clinical insights have also allowed us to hone in on drying times and types of extracts – helping us learn how and when to process our ingredients for the greatest health benefits. State-of-the-art technology helps us to better understand the levels of nutrient density in our crops and determine the ideal strains for our ingredients based on their abilities to support unique health needs. New internal studies looking at the impact crop rotation and cover crops can have on our soil are also helping us to make more informed decisions for future crops.
