why choose metabolic Health labs?
Meet the Team
Metabolism is the act of using nutrients to
generate energy for every cell in the body. The
founders of Metabolic Health Laboratories have shown
that nutrients are powerful determinants of how your
genes are regulated and therefore how your cells use
and produce energy, the essence of life. This has a
direct impact on your health and wellness. We are
dedicated to providing our customers with access to
nutritional products that have a solid,
evidence-based scientific foundation and a positive
influence on your health and genes.
Why are we different?
At Metabolic Health Laboratories (MHL) we distinguish ourselves by:
· Formulating our own products based on our in-house and worldwide academic research and cutting edge technology.
· MHL is a genuine "formulation house", with NIH award winning Dr. John Konhilas operating as the principal researcher and formulator.
· We promise you that our products are manufactured with the highest quality ingredients containing the highest nutritional value utilizing Good Manufacturing Processes (cGMPs).
Quality
is key!Our carefully crafted formulas can optimize your health and wellbeing by providing a unique combination of critical ingredients for your basic metabolic needs. Only the highest quality ingredients are chosen for our products. Our focus in formulation is NOT finding the least expensive inputs, but rather to craft the most effective supplement with supreme quality, giving you the most value for your money.
Quantity
makes a difference as well!Most nutritional supplements on the market today provide an extensive list of ingredients that are not in adequate quantities to provide any benefit. Metabolic Health Labs not only provides the right quality ingredients, we provide these carefully selected ingredients in the quantities that are most appropriate. More importantly, our formulas contain ingredients in the correct proportions to provide an optimal and balanced product.
The use of quality ingredients in the right quantity and proportions is the first step to creating high-quality and effective formulas. However, the body must absorb the ingredients in order to have any effect at all. For this reason, we use the best delivery formats available for each product - capsules. This ensures the ingredients get to the right spot to positively impact your metabolic processes!
Dr. John Konhilas is responsible for conducting scientific analysis of cutting edge research around active nutraceutical ingredients and the role they play in optimizing our customers' metabolic health and gene expressions. This in-house research is then applied in the development of Metabolic Health Lab's specific product formulations targeting improved health and wellness through optimized metabolic processes throughout the body.
Dr. Konhilas maintains an active research laboratory and has a proven scientific track record as evidenced by the publication of many peer-reviewed papers in reputable scientific journals. He has been invited to give numerous talks and was an early recipient of a National Research Service Award and a Mentored Scientific Research Development Award from the National Institutes of Health. Dr. Konhilas has recently received $1.6 million in funding to study the role of energy/metabolic use in the heart from the National Institutes of Health and from local Arizona foundations. Dr. Konhilas has received at total of over $3.1 million during his career. Dr. Konhilas is currently an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Arizona in Tucson.
