Philosophy Behind the Product
Our philosophy is to offer the finest quality nutritional products to
the complementary health care professional at a reasonable price. The
name Professional Health Products® was chosen because this brand is sold
exclusively to professional health care providers. Many of our
competitors sell to the professional as well as to ‘the lay public’
under a different label. It is our belief that nutrition should be
administered and monitored by those best familiar with disease process
and diagnosis. These products are available through independent
pharmacies and healthcare practitioners throughout the country. PHP®
brand offers over 400 different products to tailor the nutritional and
homeopathic support to the individual patient. Rather than using a
"shotgun" approach with a few products to treat everything, our position
is to create specific formulas that have a greater therapeutic influence
on healing and to combine ingredients that are synergistic and enhance
the desired therapeutic action. The Professional Health Products® line
is innovative in approach, yet strongly tied to proven methods. We
strictly follow HPUS and Hahnemann's methods for producing Homeopathics,
particularly, Hand Succussion.
Purity of the Product
Creating a formulation involves several factors. Our products contain
the purest and most bioavailable ingredients. Careful consideration is
also given to the binders chosen and to the process by which the formula
is made.
This commitment to purity is demonstrated by our efforts to supply
you with a quality glandular line. We go to great lengths to obtain
pesticide/antibiotic/disease free glands for use in our products. This
means, when available, we purchase our glands as food grade from New
Zealand where a Veterinarian by law inspects and certifies the product
to be free of disease, which is not available from domestic glands.
Rather than use a salt-precipitated or solvent extraction process which
leaves residues in the gland, we have chosen to use a
freeze-dried/vacuum method.

PHP®’s Nutraceutical Line
PHP® uses ingredients that are more biochemically interactive and
available. We base our decision on our understanding of the biological
pathways and studies available to us.
The herbs we use are picked at the time they are most biologically
active. They are harvested and put into a solution within one hour. When
materials are not available to us in the U.S., we do whatever is
necessary to obtain the finest quality ingredients.
The preparation of the homeopathic involves buying source materials
from all over the world. All mother tinctures are soaked for a minimum
of 14 days to extract the essences. The lab prepares the product in a
"clean room", free from fluorescent lighting and EMF's. Water purity is
assured by passing it through a water softener and a 5 step reverse
osmosis filter, and exposing it to bactericidal UV light.
The water is certified pH neutral. Hypoallergenic, 20% alcohol
(gluten free) is used in our Homeopathics versus the glycerin or pellet
delivery for several reasons. The alcohol base provides a better
polymorphic structure. Glycerin-based products do not have the shelf
life alcohol products do, nor are they listed in the HPUS (Homeopathic
Pharmacopoeia of the United States). According to our research the
liquid form is better absorbed and provides better transport than the
pellet or tablet due to greater surface area coverage.
PHP®'s labeling is designed to provide you with the most information
possible. We list everything that goes into the bottle including
fillers, excepients and binders. Rather than the dosage based on several
tablets or capsules, PHP® states what each contains. Also listed are the
specific individual elemental amounts. PHP® offers an excellent value by
making its Homeopathics available in a 2 ounce bottle instead of the
standard 1 ounce bottle. The liquescence remedies come in a 4 ounce
bottle.
