Designs for Health
Shop the Designs for Health range in Canada — 139 formulas spanning vitamins, minerals, probiotics, omegas, protein powders and targeted support blends, at Canadian retail pricing.
About the range
Designs for Health formulas are built for higher active dosing than typical retail supplements, using researched ingredient forms rather than the cheapest available. Several of the range's signature technologies show up across multiple products:
- Evail™ — an emulsification process used on fat-soluble nutrients such as DIM, curcumin and CoQ10, improving absorption of compounds that are otherwise poorly taken up.
- Supreme™ formulas — multi-ingredient blends targeting a specific system rather than a single nutrient.
- Synergy™ formulas — combinations designed so the ingredients support one another, such as pairing 5-HTP with activated B6.
Where to start
The catalogue is deep, so browsing by need is usually faster than scrolling: probiotics and digestive support, omega and essential fatty acids, magnesium, multivitamins, antioxidants, and protein and nutrition.
Activated and methylated forms
A recurring feature of the range is the use of activated nutrient forms — methylfolate rather than folic acid, methylcobalamin rather than cyanocobalamin, P5P rather than plain B6. These are the forms the body uses directly, which matters more for some people than others. If you've been advised to look for methylated B vitamins, the Designs for Health range is one of the more complete places to find them.
On price
These formulas cost more than drugstore equivalents, and the gap narrows considerably when you compare on active dose rather than bottle price. A product delivering three times the active ingredient at twice the price is the better value — check the supplement facts panel before comparing.
Higher-potency formulas warrant more care than everyday multivitamins. If you take prescription medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or manage an ongoing condition, speak with your healthcare provider before starting.
