Customer Accounts
I’m a licensed health care practitioner. How do I order QOL Labs® products?
If you are a licensed health care practitioner who would like to offer your patients QOL Labs® supplements, contact us to sign up. We require an active state license in your name (e.g., DC, ND, MD, DO, RN, LAc, NP) or a credential/ degree from a nutrition-based college. Wholesale pricing is made available once we’ve authorized your account, which includes confirming your licensure status. This typically occurs within 1 business day.
Do you offer a discount for health care practitioners?
Yes. We have professional wholesale pricing for health care providers.
Why does QOL Labs® only sell its products to health care practitioners?
We believe that using supplements should be directed by a knowledgeable health care practitioner who knows his or her patients’ total health status and medical needs.
As a health care practitioner, how do I setup direct-to-patient ordering?
If you are a health care practitioner and would like to allow direct-to-patient ordering, please contact customer service to obtain your practitioner code. Please provide this unique referral code to your patients for all their ordering needs.
Can I sell QOL Labs® products on my website?
Yes. Please refer to QOL Labs® Minimum Advertised Pricing Policy (M.A.P), which outlines our requests for conducting business online. Our primary concern is that no product is listed 20% below the suggested retail price, as designated in writing by QOL Labs®, and that only licensed health care practitioners can distribute product.
Why do I need to sign QOL Labs® M.A.P Policy?
The Minimum Advertised Pricing Policy is a contract between QOL Labs® and the licensed health care purchaser. It outlines how the purchaser should conduct their business practice online when selling QOL Labs® products on the practitioners’ websites. Signing and dating the Minimum Advertised Pricing Policy indicates that the account holder agrees to the terms and conditions listed with respect to an account with QOL Labs®.
