Biotics Research

What Biotics Research does

Biotics Research Corporation is a privately held, family-owned manufacturer of professional-grade nutritional supplements, founded in 1976 and headquartered in Rosenberg, Texas. The company produces over 300 nutritional formulas spanning enzymes (Motility-Zyme), probiotics (BioDoph-Fem), mineral supplements (Acti-Mag), omega-3 fatty acid products (Biomega line), and newer specialty entries such as the SleepTides peptide-based sleep support platform. Its products are sold exclusively to licensed, certified, or degreed healthcare professionals through an authorized reseller network, with direct-to-patient fulfillment handled via the proprietary eStoreRx™ online dispensary. All sales are restricted to the United States, and resellers are contractually required to sell only to personally evaluated patients.

The business operates a single revenue stream built on one-time product sales of nutritional supplements to professional resellers, with no public pricing disclosure and pricing governed by an enforced Minimum Advertised Price (MAP) Policy. Go-to-market is channel-partner-led and reinforced by a content marketing ecosystem that includes a weekly blog, Research Forum, monthly webinars, in-person seminars, the EPIC 2026 conference, and the Wellness Unfiltered Pro podcast. Quality positioning is supported by ISO Accreditation and self-reported GMP compliance, with the company's quality control team using analytical methods that exceed standard requirements.

Biotics Research serves a single customer segment — licensed healthcare practitioners such as chiropractors, medical doctors, and oriental medicine doctors — and supports them with clinical education, technical product support, and practice development resources. The company is privately held with no disclosed parent company, no institutional or PE backing, and leadership consisting of President Denis R. DeLuca and Vice President Daryl De Luca. Recent strategic emphasis has been on extending the product portfolio into peptide technology and scaling practitioner engagement through new educational channels, while remaining US-only and practitioner-exclusive.
