The approach.

Physician-formulated, in-house manufactured, lot-traceable end-to-end. The three gates every formula passes through before it ships.

01The thesis

Why a different bar.

A label is a promise. We built the company to keep it.

Recovery Laboratories started with a surgeon looking for more natural ways to support the body through recovery. Dr. Tyler Smith, MD, led the formulation work. Ryan Clyma, our founder, built the production behind it.

That promise is only as good as the process behind it, so we keep the process in our own hands. We source the ingredients, keep each supplier’s certificate of analysis on file, and manufacture in our own facility in Auburn, California.

02Behind the formulas

Physician-formulated.

Our formulas were developed under the direction of Dr. Tyler Smith, MD, a board-certified spine surgeon who co-founded Recovery Laboratories and serves as an advisor.

Dr. Smith led the team that developed the formulas. Ryan Clyma turned them into finished products, sourcing the ingredients and collecting each supplier’s certificate of analysis.

The full recipes are secured in CAROL (Beta), our in-house lab inventory and production system, where only authorized administrators can view them.

03Sourcing

Sourcing standards.

Supplier selection is the first quality gate.

We source active ingredients from qualified suppliers who document what they ship. Every shipment arrives with a certificate of analysis, and each lot is recorded with its supplier, country of origin, and lot identifier before it moves to inventory.

Suppliers who cannot document what they ship do not qualify. The full standard lives on the Supplier Selection page.

04Testing

Documented, every ingredient.

A certificate of analysis with every ingredient.

Every ingredient arrives from its supplier with a certificate of analysis: the supplier’s test results for that lot. Some come printed with the shipment. Others we download from the supplier. We keep each one on file.

CAROL (Beta) attaches each certificate to its lot. What a certificate of analysis covers is on the Testing & Quality page.

05Manufacturing

Built in-house. On purpose.

One facility. Auburn, California.

Manufacturing happens in our own facility in Auburn, California, tracked end-to-end through CAROL (Beta). Every finished pouch traces back to its production batch, its input lots, and the original raw-material lots.

The full story lives on the CAROL page.

06For you

What this means for you.

You should not have to take our word for it.

Sourcing and manufacturing are linked by lot-level traceability. Each pouch carries a batch identifier that ties to its production batch, its input lots, and the suppliers behind them.

If a question is ever raised about the pouch you are holding, the answer exists. Ask us at contact@recoverylaboratories.com or +1 (774) 643-2584.
