Frequently Asked Questions

Doctor Inspired Formulations stands apart through our pharmaceutical-grade quality standards, advanced liposomal delivery technology, and formulations specifically designed to support individuals with chronic conditions like Lyme disease, mold-related illness, endoparasitic disease and poor wound-healing. Our products are developed by pharmacists and are used in clinical protocols by leading Lyme-literate physicians, including Dr. Richard Horowitz.

Liposomal technology encapsulates active ingredients within phospholipid bilayers (similar to cell membranes), which dramatically increases absorption and bioavailability. This is particularly important for individuals with chronic conditions who may have compromised digestive function. Our liposomal delivery system helps protect active compounds from degradation in the digestive tract and facilitates more efficient delivery to cells.

No, we formulate our products without artificial colors, flavors, or unnecessary preservatives. We believe in clean, pure formulations that deliver only what's necessary for therapeutic benefit.

Our products go through a thorough quality assurance process from start to finish. Each batch undergoes multiple verification steps to ensure it meets our strict standards before reaching customers.

Our testing protocols follow industry best practices and regulatory requirements, maintaining detailed documentation throughout the process. This comprehensive approach guarantees consistent quality and safety across all our product lines.

Quality control remains a fundamental priority in our manufacturing process, with regular evaluations to maintain our commitment to excellence.

At Doctor Inspired Formulations, our products are developed with the existing scientific literature in mind. We think it's important to be transparent about the research that informs what we make and what it does and doesn't show.

The botanical compounds found across our line have been examined in peer-reviewed research published in journals including Frontiers in Medicine, Microorganisms, and Poultry Science, covering areas like antimicrobial properties, antioxidant activity, and gut health. Some of this research comes from institutions including Johns Hopkins University's Bloomberg School of Public Health.

It's worth noting that much of this research is not a clinical trial in humans and does not constitute conclusive evidence of clinical efficacy. We believe in making this research available to our customers, but encourage you to review it critically and consult with a qualified healthcare professional.

Specific dosing instructions are provided on each product label. However, we strongly recommend consulting with your healthcare practitioner for personalized dosing recommendations, especially if you're following a specific protocol for example for Lyme disease or mold-related illness.

Many of our products are designed to work synergistically and are often incorporated together in comprehensive protocols for Lyme disease and other chronic conditions. However, we recommend consulting with your healthcare practitioner to determine the optimal combination and dosing schedule for your specific needs.

For most products, we recommend taking the capsules whole for optimal effectiveness. The capsule helps protect the liposomal structure until it reaches the appropriate point in the digestive tract. If you have difficulty swallowing capsules, please consult with your healthcare provider for alternatives.
