 Back in 1955, our dad, 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 proudly joins the Atrium Biotechnologies group
of companies. Atrium Biotechnologies is an international company and global leader in the
development, manufacturing, and marketing of dietary supplements, specialty fine chemicals, and
active cosmetic ingredients. To learn more about Atrium Biotechnologies visit their website at

dedicated to keeping the promise Sam made 50 years ago. Raising the Standard is more
