Mission Statement Our mission at AOR is dedicated to providing unrivalled innovation and unmatched quality in natural health products to its valued and discerning customers. AOR is committed to researching the best that science and nature have to offer. By delivering the “right amount of the right ingredients to the right place at the right time,” AOR offers its customers a unique and truly orthomolecular approach to personalized nutrition for the future. Who is AOR? Advanced Orthomolecular Research (AOR), a Canadian-based company with headquarters in Calgary, Alberta, has an established reputation in Canada as the most advanced supplement formulator in the country and likely, the world. AOR endeavors to bring something new to the Canadian supplement world: not just new supplements, but a new spirit, with the pillars of Innovative Research, Scientific Integrity, Quality Manufacturing, and Consumer Education. “Orthomolecule” is a term coined by Linus Pauling, who is the founder of orthomolecular medicine. Orthomolecular refers to “the right amount of the right substances delivered to the right place in the body at the right time.” AOR products are also available in the United States and in the UK. MORE ABOUT AOR The Beginnings Scientific integrity and innovation have been central to the AOR philosophy since its foundation. AOR’s origins lie in the pharmacy of the organization’s Research Director, Dr. Traj Nibber, when he was contacted by People With AIDS (PWA) advocacy groups searching for a source of hard-to-find formulations for AIDS buyers’ groups. His initial surprise at the lack of access to these nutritional supplements soon turned to empathic frustration, as he realized how many people were suffering from the failure of the dietary supplement industry to make available nutrients whose role in health were well-established by rigorous scientific investigation – and the simultaneous willingness of the same companies to promote supplements on the basis of only the most flimsy of evidence. The Innovation Track Record 1993 Glucosamine Sulfate– First in Canada 1996 Pantethine – First in Canada 1998 D-Ribose – First in World 1999 R+ Lipoic Acid – First in World 2000 SAMe – First in Canada 2001 Benfotiamine – First in North America 2002 Strontium Citrate – First in World 2005 Sustained Release R+ Lipoic Acid – First in World 2007 Oxaloacetate (benaGene) – First in World 2009 Curcumin nanoparticles – First in World 2011 Longvida® Curcumin – First in Canada 2011 nanoVAILABLE Boswellia – First in World 2012 NOx3,2,1 Technology® – First in World In a little over a decade, AOR has become a leading provider of genuinely innovative nutraceuticals in North America and around the world. AOR’s bottled revolutions are groundbreaking, research-backed orthomolecules and botanicals which are new to Canada and often to North America and the world. Our Quality Commitment In the regulatory vacuum of the North American dietary supplement industry, quality control has always been a concern. In the USA, dietary supplements are barely regulated and anything can be sold without much in the way of safety analysis before putting it on the market. In Canada, however, formal regulatory requirements for the manufacture of dietary supplements have been issued by the new Natural Health Products Directorate (NHPD) using GMPs which are modeled standards established for use in pharmaceutical labs. AOR has received its site license from Health Canada and operates its facilities under standards created to meet or exceed the statutory requirements laid out under the new regulations. In addition, AOR implements a process of self-imposed quality control, creating internal standard operating procedures that were modeled on those of the pharmaceutical industry for purity and rigor. aor.ca/
