Integrative Therapeutics
Commitment to advancing the naturopathic profession
Integrative Therapeutics Inc (ITI) has been serving integrative healthcare practitioners for over 35 years. A well-developed array of product off erings has allowed Integrative to operate as a one- stop shop for physicians wishing to stock a dispensary of evidence-based, quality natural health products. Some of the company’s best known products include the innovative Ubiquanol QH (a reduced form of CoEnzyme Q10), IVY-calm (cough syrup made from an ivy leaf extract), a series of probiotic pearls covering a broad spectrum of researched probiotic strains, and Cortisol Manager, a combination of several ingredients including ashwagandha, theanine, and magnolia for improving abnormal cortisol patterns.
The US- based company manufactures the Integrative Therapeutics line in an FDA-registered drug establishment. Standards established for pharmaceutical manufacture are met and exceeded daily. Reproducibility across batches of product is key to maintaining excellence in quality control.
Integrative Therapeutics takes tremendous pride in providing evidence-based offerings. Novel ingredients subjected to the rigors of randomized, placebo- controlled clinical research are incorporated into the line, keeping the company on the cusp of novel medicines generated in the realm of integrative medicine. e company differentiates the level of clinical evidence of product offerings based on label colour; a green label denotes on- point human clinical research for the product in question. A silver label typically denotes a novel delivery system of a particular ingredient, and the ingredient in question has been validated in human clinical trials. A blue label denotes products formulated on a combination of traditional use and clinical research.
The foundation of Integrative Therapeutics was established in servicing the community of naturopathic physicians. Among many initiatives of the company to advance the profession, the creation of a partnership with the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) is perhaps the most exciting of them all.
The ITI-AANP STAIR residency program is designed to provide exceptional new ND graduates a rare residency opportunity. Successful naturopathic clinics demonstrating direct integration with medical doctors are invited to accept a resident through the ITI-AANP STAIR program. e resident is compensated through the ITI-AANP STAIR program, and the accepting physician is gifted the services of a distinguished new graduate. e new graduate is afforded a unique residency experience, gaining insight into patient management strategies in fully integrative environments, as well as hands- on training in operations management, dispensary management, and all other facets that comprise operations of a successful integrative medical clinic. The first placement of graduates in the ITI-AANP STAIR program occurred in 2007. Each year the program places two ND graduates in facilities that have demonstrated excellence in integration.
The Integrative team felt it imperative to offer the line to the rapidly- growing segment of the profession representing Canadian naturopathic doctors. e regulatory obstacles deterring many US-based companies were welcomed by the team. Already complying with pharmaceutical as opposed to natural health product standards of manufacture made for an easy process of satisfying Health Canada expectations of quality control, safety, and efficacy.
Integrative Therapeutics Inc remains a pillar among companies healthcare providers have come to rely on. Dedication to quality control and evidence-based interventions has resulted in maintained success through the decades. Their commitment to advancing the profession of naturopathic medicine demonstrates loyalty to the professionals who helped the company grow to the level of achievement attained today.
