When Modern Diets Call for Standard Process Support
Closing the Nutrient Gap
Even with a careful diet, many adults feel persistently fatigued, foggy, or run-down. Soil depletion, food processing, chronic stress, medications, and busy schedules combine to lower the nutrient density of everyday meals. You may notice low energy in the afternoon, slow recovery from workouts, frequent colds, poor sleep, or stubborn inflammation that does not respond to rest. These symptoms are common signals that your body is missing key whole-food cofactors needed for normal cellular function.
Standard Process supplements are formulated from whole foods, glandular concentrates, and botanical ingredients designed to deliver nutrition in its natural complex form. Dr. Brimm takes a brief health history, reviews your symptoms, diet, and medications, then recommends a targeted protocol. A typical plan starts with a baseline multivitamin like Catalyn for general wellness and layers in condition-specific support such as Cataplex B for stress or Cataplex G for nerve health, all chosen to work alongside your other care.

What Are Standard Process Supplements?
The Science of Whole-Food Nutrition
Standard Process is a Wisconsin-based supplement company founded in 1929 by Dr. Royal Lee. The company produces whole-food-based nutritional supplements, herbal formulas, and protein powders using ingredients grown on its certified organic family farm. Standard Process products are available only through licensed healthcare providers, never retail shelves, which is why patient access requires a consultation with a qualified clinician.
How Standard Process Supplements Work
Whole-food supplements deliver nutrients in the natural complex form your body recognizes: enzymes, cofactors, and phytonutrients arrive together rather than as isolated synthetic molecules. According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, the bioavailability and biological activity of vitamins can differ meaningfully between whole-food and synthetic sources. Catalyn, the flagship Standard Process multivitamin introduced in 1929, combines bovine adrenal, liver, and spleen concentrates with whole-food vitamin sources, providing a foundation many practitioners build protocols around.
What Happens During Your Standard Process Consultation
Dr. Brimm conducts a brief intake covering current symptoms, diet, medications, and prior supplement use. She then explains why specific products fit your needs and how to take them. Patients order through Dr. Brimm's practice portal and have supplements shipped directly to their home or picked up at the office.
Standard Process Results and Duration
Most patients notice early changes in energy, digestion, or sleep within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use, with fuller results developing over 8 to 12 weeks as nutrient stores rebuild. Protocols are reviewed and adjusted at follow-up visits.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Standard Process Supplements?
Finding Your Best Nutrition Plan
Standard Process supplements are best suited for adults who want a personalized, whole-food approach to closing nutritional gaps under the guidance of a licensed provider. They are commonly recommended alongside chiropractic adjustment with ProAdjuster in Tampa as part of a root-cause wellness plan.
Ideal Candidates for Standard Process Supplements
- Adults experiencing low energy, brain fog, or stress despite a reasonable diet
- Patients seeking whole-food nutrition rather than isolated synthetic vitamins
- Active individuals supporting recovery, joint health, or athletic performance
- Patients managing concerns like back pain or body contouring and core strengthening who benefit from anti-inflammatory and metabolic support
- People committed to working with a provider over several months for protocol adjustments
Who Should Wait or Avoid Standard Process Supplements
- Pregnant or breastfeeding patients without obstetric clearance for specific formulas
- Patients on blood thinners, immunosuppressants, or thyroid medications without coordination with their prescribing physician
- Anyone with known allergies to bovine, porcine, soy, dairy, or specific botanical ingredients
- Patients with active organ disease or severe chronic illness should defer to their specialist
According to the NIH Office of Dietary Supplements, supplements can interact with prescription medications, so a full medication review with Dr. Brimm is part of every protocol decision.

Risks and Side Effects
What to Know
-
Common Side Effects
Whole-food supplements are generally well tolerated. Mild, short-term effects can include gastrointestinal upset, loose stools, mild nausea, or changes in stool color, typically resolving within several days as the body adapts. Taking supplements with food often reduces these effects.
-
Rare but Important Considerations
Allergic reactions can occur in patients sensitive to bovine, porcine, soy, dairy, or specific botanical ingredients. Some Standard Process formulas contain iodine, iron, or herbal extracts that can interact with thyroid medications, blood thinners, antidepressants, or immunosuppressants, so a complete medication review is essential. Pregnant or breastfeeding patients should only use formulas cleared by their obstetric provider.
-
Safety and Regulatory Status
Standard Process supplements are regulated as dietary supplements under the FDA Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act. They are not FDA-approved to treat, cure, or prevent disease. The Standard Process manufacturing facility follows current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), and Dr. Brimm's clinical training in Standard Process protocols helps minimize interaction risk and match the right formulas to each patient's medication and health profile.
Standard Process Supplement Cost in Tampa
Pricing and Payment Options
Standard Process supplements are priced individually and only purchased through your provider after a consultation. Flagship products like Catalyn typically range from $30 to $60 per bottle, with most patients investing $80 to $200 per month across a personalized protocol. Total cost depends on the number of formulas in your plan, dosing, and how long you remain on each product. Exact pricing is reviewed with Dr. Brimm during your consultation based on your individual protocol.
Insurance and Coverage
Insurance does not generally cover nutritional supplements. Consultations focused on chiropractic care or wellness exams may be billable under your medical or chiropractic benefits. Health Savings Account (HSA) and Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds may be eligible for qualifying nutritional products when documented by a provider.
Flexible Payment Options
ProActive accepts major credit cards, HSA and FSA cards, and works with CareCredit financing for patients combining supplements with broader chiropractic and wellness care. Speak with our team about CareCredit pre-approval if you would like to spread payments out over time.
