And what we make sure never does
Our Commitment
Most supplement brands are built around what sounds good on a label. OncoCare is built around what we would put in front of our own family member going through chemotherapy. That standard is different. It is more demanding. And it shows up in every sourcing decision we make.
Every OncoCare product is manufactured in FDA-registered facilities operating under current Good Manufacturing Practices (21 CFR Part 111). That means documented quality control at every step, from raw material testing to finished product release.
We manufacture in the United States. Not because it is cheaper, it is not, but because US facilities operate under FDA oversight and are held to standards that protect our customers.
Every lot is tested by independent third-party laboratories for identity, potency, heavy metals, and microbial contamination before it ships. We pursue NSF certification as an additional credibility layer for our oncology patient population.
In the supplement industry, the same ingredient can range from low-grade commodity powder to clinically validated, bioavailability-optimized branded forms. We always choose the form that the clinical research actually used.
| Ingredient | Premium Form We Use | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Magnesium | Albion TRAACS Bisglycinate Chelate | Chelated form absorbs significantly better than oxide or citrate forms commonly used in cheaper products |
| CoQ10 | Kaneka QH Ubiquinol (Japan) | Reduced ubiquinol form; up to 8x more bioavailable than standard ubiquinone CoQ10 |
| Vitamin K2 | MenaQ7 MK-7 All-Trans (Gnosis) | All-trans configuration is the biologically active form; synthetic K2 often contains inactive cis isomers |
| Sulforaphane | Myrosinase-Active Broccoli Sprout Extract | Enzyme-active form converts properly in the body; many products use inactive sulforaphane glucosinolate only |
| AHCC | Licensed from Amino Up Co., Japan | Proprietary mushroom extract with the only published RCT in ovarian cancer patients; unlicensed AHCC copies lack verified molecular weight specifications |
| Quercetin | Quercefit Phytosome (Indena, Italy) | 20x more bioavailable than standard quercetin aglycone used in most supplements |
| Zinc | Albion TRAACS Bisglycinate Chelate | Chelated zinc absorbs 3-4x better than zinc oxide, the form used in most mass-market multivitamins |
We are as rigorous about what we leave out as what we put in. The following have no place in supplements designed for cancer patients in active treatment.
A common manufacturing lubricant with no therapeutic value. We use cleaner alternatives.
Another manufacturing convenience ingredient. Not in OncoCare.
No FD&C dyes. No synthetic colorants of any kind.
No aspartame, sucralose, or synthetic flavor compounds.
Increasingly flagged in safety literature. Excluded from all OncoCare products.
Pro-inflammatory food additive common in capsule formulations. Excluded.
All OncoCare capsules use HPMC, a plant-derived shell. Suitable for all dietary preferences.
We list every ingredient and every dose. No hidden blends. No underdosed label dressing.
We do not release a product until it passes independent third-party testing. Every batch is tested for:
Confirms the ingredient is what the label says it is. Adulterants and substitutions are more common in the supplement industry than most consumers realize.
Confirms that each ingredient is present at the dose stated on the label. Label claims must match what is actually in the capsule.
Tests for lead, mercury, arsenic, and cadmium per USP <232> standards. Critical for a patient population already managing significant physiological stress.
Tests for harmful bacteria, yeast, and mold per USP <61> and <62>. Particularly important for immunocompromised patients on ADC therapy.
Would we give this to Judy?
Every sourcing decision, every manufacturing requirement, every quality test comes back to that question. If the answer is not an immediate yes, we go back to the drawing board.
