Dr.Formula: Japanese Supplements Developed with a Medical Approach

Dr.Formula was founded by Dr. Yoshihisa Abo, the founder of Tokyo-based 北青山D.CLINIC. Through his daily medical practice, he noticed a recurring problem: patients wanted to take high-quality supplements but didn't know which brands they could trust. Many products on the market had questionable formulations or weren't designed with the needs of the Japanese population in mind.

This inspired him to create the brand. The first version, D.Formula, was launched in 2004. After further development, it was relaunched as Dr.Formula in 2016. Today, Dr.Formula offers Japanese supplements manufactured at GMP-certified facilities in Japan.

What Makes Dr.Formula Different?

A medical approach to formulation. Unlike many supplement brands, Dr.Formula is developed under the guidance of a practicing physician. Dr. Abo personally selects ingredients based on available scientific evidence.

Japanese quality standards. All products are manufactured in Japan. Each batch is tested for heavy metals and radioactive substances.

Convenient formats. Compact capsules and granules offer an easy-to-take alternative to the large tablets commonly found in some international supplement brands.

A wide range of formulas for different needs. The brand offers more than 18 types of supplements, including:

• Multivitamins and minerals
• Energy metabolism support (5-ALA, CoQ10)
• Joint and heart health support (Omega-3, N-Acetyl Glucosamine)

Dr. Abo explains the brand's philosophy:

"We create supplements that I would recommend to my own patients. Every ingredient is carefully evaluated, and dosages are formulated with the needs of the Japanese population in mind."
