Where can I buy MediHerb supplements?
In the United States, you can only buy MediHerb through a health care practitioner with a Standard Process account (like Snow Holistic Health). You can order any MediHerb product on this site without opening an account of your own.
A few things that may trip people up:
- MediHerb has no direct-to-consumer store in the US. The mediherb.com site you'll find on Google is the Australian company's site. It doesn't sell to US consumers.
- Standard Process doesn't sell to the public either. Their site lists products, but checkout requires a practitioner. That's why nearly every "buy MediHerb online" result is a clinic's website, like this one.
- Marketplace listings are a gamble. Amazon and eBay sellers aren't authorized. You can't tell how old the bottle is, whether it sat in a hot warehouse, or whether it's even real.
Ordering on our site gets you the same product a practitioner can hand you across the front desk, shipped in 1 to 2 business days, and shipped free for orders over $75.

Do I need a prescription or a practitioner to buy MediHerb?
You don't need a prescription. You do have to buy through an authorized practitioner, though, and ordering from this site counts.
MediHerb products are dietary supplements, so there's nothing to prescribe. The practitioner rule is a distribution choice by Standard Process, not a legal one. They'd rather a doctor or pharmacist be somewhere in the picture, even if it's just the clinic you're buying from.
For most people, that's a formality. If you know what you want, you can add it to the cart and be done.
If you're new to herbs, or you're already taking prescription medication(s), a little guidance is absolutely worth having. Dr. Katie Snow is a Pharm.D., and drug interactions are the questions she answers most. A free 15-minute call with Dr. Snow is the fastest way to make sure your supplement and medication won't interact negatively.
Is MediHerb the same company as Standard Process?
No. MediHerb is an Australian company owned by Integria Healthcare. Standard Process is a family-owned company in Palmyra, Wisconsin, and is MediHerb's exclusive US distributor.
The two have worked together for more than 20 years, and in 2020 they signed a 10-year agreement that runs through 2030. So the partnership is stable, and they have the same commitment to quality, but they make different things.
Standard Process makes whole food supplements: concentrated foods, glandulars, and vitamins grown mostly on their own organic farm. MediHerb makes herbal extracts. In our clinic, a protocol often uses both. Our post on MediHerb Thyroid Complex vs. Standard Process Thytrophin PMG is a good example of how the two get paired.

Is MediHerb a good brand?
Yes! MediHerb has been practitioner-only since 1986, extracts its herbs without heat or chemical solvents, tests every batch 5 times, and has supported more than 20 clinical trials on its own formulas.
Here's why that matters: Herbs are the easiest supplement category to fake. A "turmeric" capsule can be mostly filler, the wrong species, or extracted so aggressively that the active compounds are gone. Cheap herbs are cheap for a reason.
MediHerb's answer is a 7-day cold percolation process, DNA identification of the raw plant, and testing for potency and contaminants before anything ships. Kerry Bone, who co-founded the company, still runs research and development and has co-authored more than 40 scientific papers on herbs.
None of that guarantees a specific product will do what you hope. That depends on why you're taking it and whether it's the right herb for the job. If you're not sure, ask Dr. Snow before you buy.

Are MediHerb supplements safe? Do they have side effects?
MediHerb products are made in GMP-certified facilities and tested for identity, potency, and contaminants. Most people take them without any issues, but herbs include active compounds, and some interact with medication.
Here are the ones to watch:
Start at the dose on the label. If you take any prescription medication, run it past your doctor or pharmacist first. Dr. Katie Snow is a Pharm.D., so if you'd rather ask us, book a quick call.
These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
Is MediHerb FDA approved?
No supplement is FDA approved. The FDA doesn't approve dietary supplements before they're sold, the way it does with drugs.
What the FDA does regulate is how supplements are made. Manufacturers have to follow current good manufacturing practices (cGMP), and the FDA can inspect them and pull products that fail. MediHerb manufactures under certified GMP in Australia, and Standard Process, the US distributor, runs its own FDA-registered facilities.
So "FDA approved" is the wrong question for any supplement. The better one is whether the company tests what it sells. MediHerb tests 5 times between the raw herb and the finished bottle. More on how MediHerb makes its herbs above.
Who owns MediHerb, and where is it made?
MediHerb is owned by Integria Healthcare, which is an Australian company. Products are grown, processed, and packaged in Australia and distributed in the US by Standard Process.
MediHerb was co-founded in 1986 by Professor Kerry Bone, who still leads research and development. It later became part of Integria Healthcare, which also owns other Australian practitioner brands.
In the US, everything MediHerb makes ships through Standard Process in Wisconsin, which is why the box says Standard Process but the bottle says MediHerb. It's the same supply chain from Australia to your door.

What's the difference between Turmeric Forte and a regular turmeric supplement?
Turmeric Forte pairs turmeric rhizome extract with fenugreek seed in a form designed to be absorbed better than plain turmeric powder.
Most turmeric on a store shelf is ground root in a capsule. Curcumin, the active compound, is poorly absorbed on its own, so a lot of it passes straight through your body without being absorbed. Turmeric Forte uses a curcumin-fenugreek formulation designed to get more of it into your bloodstream, which is why it's MediHerb's most-searched product.
It's often paired with Boswellia Complex for joint support. Check out our post comparing MediHerb Boswellia Complex to other turmeric and boswellia formulas, as it goes deeper on how they fit together.

Does MediHerb make liquid herbs?
In the US, no, they don't. The MediHerb products distributed through Standard Process are tablets, capsules, and softgels, plus the Herbal Throat Spray.
In Australia, MediHerb is best known for its 1:2 liquid extracts, and practitioners there can mix their own custom formulas from them. Those liquids are not distributed in the US.
The tablets are made from the same extracts, though. The cold percolation process is exactly the same, the extract just gets concentrated and pressed into a tablet instead of bottled as a liquid. Everything on this site is from their US line.

Are these the same MediHerb products my practitioner uses?
Yes. These are the same products, and same supply chain. The only difference is you're ordering from a practitioner's website instead of picking the bottle up at the front desk.
We ship every order from our clinic in Lake Charles, Louisiana, and we receive inventory straight from Standard Process. Nothing is sourced through a wholesaler or a third-party seller.
If your practitioner gave you a specific product name and dose, order that exact product here and follow their instructions. If they mentioned a MediHerb product we don't carry, contact us and we can usually order it.
