Until now Weil's recommendations and proprietary formulas have been available on www.drugstore.com. But, as from January next year, customers will be able to pop into a shop and purchase them.
The formulas will be marketed, manufactured and distributed by Arizona Nutritional Supplements (ANS), which has been awarded an exclusive US licensee agreement from Weil Lifestyle.
The line will feature antioxidant and multivitamin formulas, condition formulas, and individual supplements.
"Dr. Weil has been involved in the development of the product line and we are honored to be able to bring his first retail supplement line to market," said Jeremiah McElwee,
Weil believes the best ideas and practices of alternative and conventional medicine should be combined in order to maximize the body's natural healing mechanisms.
"Without an understanding of how specific foods and eating patterns increase or decrease risks of specific diseases, physicians are unprepared to provide nutritional counseling on designing diets for optimal health," he said earlier this year at the first annual nutrition and health conference at the university of Arizona. He is the founder and director of the Program in Integrative Medicine at the university.
