Why Jarrow Formulas
Science first, since 1977. For nearly five decades, Jarrow Formulas has formulated supplements around published science: the clinically studied ingredient forms, at the doses research actually used.
- Clinically studied ingredients. We use the specific branded forms found in published human research: GR-1 and RC-14 probiotic strains, Cognizin citicoline, StimuCal MCHA calcium, Kaneka ubiquinol, and more.*
- Bioavailable active forms. Your body shouldn't have to convert what it can absorb directly. That's why we use methylated B12 and folate instead of synthetic forms, and ubiquinol instead of standard Co-Q10 along with enhanced-absorption delivery systems.*
- Purity you can verify. Non-GMO ingredients, gluten-free and vegan options across the line, and quality controls like citrinin-avoidance fermentation and freeze-dried protein processing.
- Formulated to matter. Clinically relevant doses, strain-level identification on probiotics, and supplement facts that say exactly what is inside.
