Metabolic Maintenance

What Metabolic Maintenance does

Metabolic Maintenance is a US nutritional supplement company founded in 1984 and headquartered in Sisters, Oregon, specializing in practitioner-grade, hypoallergenic dietary supplements. Following its January 2025 acquisition by Allergy Research Group (ARG), a WM Partners portfolio company headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah, Metabolic Maintenance now operates as a brand under ARG's corporate umbrella, with products commercialized through ARG's e-commerce platform at allergyresearchgroup.com. The catalog spans approximately 89 SKUs across mood and stress support (SAMe, 5-HTP, L-Tryptophan, L-Theanine, GABA, Ashwagandha Plus, 200 mg of Zen), thyroid and hormonal balance (Thyroid Natural Glandular, DIM Complex, FemOne), cardiovascular and cellular energy (CoQ10 100 mg and 200 mg, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Deluxe Scavengers), metabolic support (Berberine + Chromium, B-Complex, L-Methylfolate 15 mg), cognitive health (Brain Cell Support with Cognizin citicoline), immune defense (Acute Immune Boost, NAC, Vitamin D), and digestive health (BioMaintenance Prebiotic + Fiber, shelf-stable probiotic), with a pediatric multivitamin (Little One) and a high-dose methylation specialty product (MethylPro B-Complex + 15 mg L-Methylfolate).

Formulation technology centers on activated, bioavailable nutrient forms, including methylated B vitamins (L-Methylfolate as the only folate capable of crossing the blood-brain barrier), reduced CoQ10 ubiquinol in protective softgels, acid-resistant SAMe capsules, and clinically validated trademarked ingredients (Shoden Ashwagandha at 35% withanolide glycosides, Suntheanine L-Theanine, Cognizin citicoline, Setria glutathione, TryptoPure). All products are hypoallergenic, excluding nine major allergen categories (milk, wheat, egg, soy, tree nuts, peanuts, shellfish, fish, sesame), and manufactured under GMP-compliant processes with onsite research teams and a Scientific Advisory Board.

Metabolic Maintenance's business model is a blended practitioner-directed and direct-to-consumer motion. Healthcare practitioners (naturopaths, integrative and functional medicine providers) serve as the primary recommendation channel, supported by a dedicated practitioner portal offering clinical protocols, webinars, therapeutic diet guides, and a patient participation program. End consumers purchase directly via ARG's e-commerce storefront at individual unit prices of approximately $24-$73 per bottle, with a Subscribe & Save program offering roughly 10% discount on 1, 2, or 3-month recurring deliveries. The company employs 11-50 people and is privately held post-acquisition.
