About Us

Our Story

Hi, we’re Dr. Louisa and Dr. Kristin, pediatrician moms and the founders of Mamadoc Rx. At the heart of our story are our exceptionally high standards for what we recommend for our patients and give our kids. In our clinic, we frequently heard from families who were interested in natural health solutions for their kids. Like many of our physician colleagues, we were initially hesitant to make recommendations because what was on the market lacked quality, safety, transparency, and scientific evidence. As we investigated further we found there is a growing body of research that supports the safety and health benefits of certain minerals and vitamins. What started as a curious exploration of the science behind supplements and natural remedies became a passion project. We set out to create a higher standard for natural health supplements for kids and teens using the principles of evidence-based medicine. Our formulas use only high-quality natural ingredients, backed by science, nothing else. We leave out artificial flavors, sweeteners, colors, vague label terms, and unnecessary fillers.

“We are pediatricians and moms, helping kids stay healthy and thrive is our life’s work.”

We believe wholeheartedly in science and the expertise of healthcare professionals. We also know there is growing research to show certain vitamins, supplements and natural ingredients can help support immunity, overall health, and specific chronic health conditions. As pediatricians, we maintain strict standards around safety and evidence in order to recommend products.

OUR VISION

Our priority is to only use ingredients with clear safety data as well as research showing potential or proven benefits. There are different paths to health and wellness and your family’s health journey is as unique as you are. We feel any health strategies, including our products, are best explored with the guidance of a physician who is familiar with your specific health concerns.

Our goal is to empower families with research-backed information and health products. You can deep dive into information about our ingredients, sourcing, and products and find a wealth of research-backed health and parenting information in our blog. For our medical professionals or extra curious consumers, you can find in depth information with links to the research on a variety of topics and ingredients here.

“In a world of misleading labels, bogus health claims, and greenwashing we strive to be the clear standout when it comes to quality, safety, transparency, and scientific evidence.”

What Makes Us Different

As physicians, what has always bothered us the most about supplements and natural remedies on the market is that most lack research-backed ingredients, transparency, or accountability for what they claim on their labels. Supplements are not regulated by the FDA, so it can be challenging for consumers to know exactly what is in the products they buy. To ensure the purity and safety of our products we use organic ingredients whenever possible, complete 3rd party testing, and only work with manufacturers that are cGMP and NSF certified (or the equivalent).

In addition, the wellness category is filled with brands who tout their products as a substitute for routine medical care and in some cases even villainize safe, science-backed preventative and treatment options. We want to challenge the notion that you have to choose between natural wellness and science. So, we created the products that we were looking for to enhance health, using the strict standards of safety and research we use to care for our patients. Our products are designed using the vitamins and supplements many healthcare professionals are already recommending for their patients.

“Our goal is to be the go-to, trusted brand and resource that families and healthcare
professionals turn to for natural remedies and supplements.”

Environmental Commitment

As avid outdoor enthusiasts and pediatricians whose work centers around helping little ones have their healthiest future, we are committed to protecting the future of their planet. Some steps we are taking include working with FDA-registered cGMP (Current Good Manufacturing Practice) manufacturing facilities, sourcing ingredients that are high-quality, sustainably sourced, and certified organic whenever possible (some ingredients are not, learn more here.) Our biodegradable materials (We seek out sustainable packaging options including biodegradable materials like biobottles or post-consumer recycled plastic.) or post-consumer recycled plastic. We are a new and small company and we strive to continue to take steps toward improving our environmental sustainability practices.

“Help hold us accountable and stay tuned for other steps toward environmental sustainability down the road.
