Heritage & History
Metagenics was born from a decision to challenge the status quo.
How It All Began
Founded in 1983 by the Katke family, Metagenics began with a bold idea: supplements should meet clinical standards. Working with Lyra Heller and Dr. Jeffrey Bland, they pioneered evidence-based formulas that put patient care first.
When the Katke family discovered that many supplements didn’t meet clinical standards, they chose to start their own - one rooted in science, integrity, and care.
With Lyra Heller and Dr. Jeffrey Bland, they helped pioneer a new approach: evidence-based formulas designed to support real outcomes and raise the bar in functional medicine.
For over 40 years, Metagenics has educated practitioners, set new quality standards, and stayed true to one belief: do the right thing for the patient. We’re more than a brand. We’re a movement, a legacy, and a new beginning for health.
Innovation That Challenged Traditional Norms
For over four decades, we’ve reshaped the supplement category—driven by science, integrity, and a commitment to better patient outcomes.
