About Us
Back in 1955, Sam Lioon founded Douglas Laboratories on a simple promise: provide the highest quality nutritional supplements available with the highest level of personal service—anywhere. And with that promise began a legacy of leadership—and a never-ending quest to exceed our customers’ expectations to Raise the Standard for Nutrition and Wellness.
Today that legacy lives on as Douglas Laboratories is guided by Doug Lioon, CEO, and Jeff Lioon, President, and also proudly joins the Atrium Innovations group of companies. Atrium Innovations is an international company and global leader in the development, manufacturing, and marketing of dietary supplements, specialty fine chemicals, and active cosmetic ingredients.

Douglas Laboratories is supported by more than 300 Douglas Laboratories employees all dedicated to keeping the promise Sam made 50 years ago. Raising the Standard is more than a slogan—it’s a promise. As we enter our second half-century, Douglas Laboratories will continue to keep our promise to Raise the Standard with a custom approach to your patients’ nutrition and wellness. With custom formulations your patients can’t find anywhere else. Custom labels. Custom daily packs. And the industry’s largest and most innovative product line.
