About Us

Professional Complementary Health Formulas (PCHF) was founded in 1985 by Hugh and Martha Helikson in Portland, OR. The Heliksons had a genuine passion for broadening the acceptance of natural medicines, which they believed were most effective when used under the guidance of a trained Practitioner, whose education, knowledge and experience are invaluable in addressing patient needs. Accordingly, the Heliksons launched PCHF with single purpose: to provide practitioners with the highest quality products designed to promote whole-person wellness, backed with unparalleled service and technical support.

Today, more than a quarter-century later, PCHF is run by a management team that was hand-picked by its founders, whom we acknowledge for their role in our current success. The Heliksons are largely to thank for our incredible product line, our loyal customers and our unwavering philosophies - not to mention the honor of continuing the legacy they built. The Heliksons worked tirelessly and successfully to expand the industry, build the company and instill the values that we hold dear today - values that make PCHF a uniquely important resource for practitioners:

• Practitioner Focused

  Our products are made available to patients only through healthcare Practitioners, who purchase the products from PCHF. As a result of our steadfast commitment to Practitioners and their essential role in the proper use of our products, PCHF does not sell products directly to patients.



• Exceptional Quality and Maximum Effectiveness

  In our efforts to ensure quality, GMP compliance is only the beginning. We go to extraordinary lengths to guarantee the quality, consistency and effectiveness of every product. We source the highest quality, natural raw materials - anywhere in the world; process those materials with methods that maximize their purity, energy and/or bioactivity; formulate them into products that contain the right combinations and potencies based on research and our practitioners' clinical experience; and deliver finished products in capsules, liquids, powders or creams that maximize absorption and effectiveness.



• Unparalleled Product Selection

  We offer the broadest line of more than 1,000 products, which evolved in direct response to practitioners just like you who are working with the full spectrum of patient issues. Accordingly, we offer incredible depth in each modality: vitamins, minerals, proteins/amino acids, glands and specialty formulas; encapsulated herbs and liquid botanicals; and an unmatched selection of homeopathics including allersodes, nosodes, sarcodes, isodes, emotional formulas, liquescences and a vast array of combination formulas - all hand-succussed in our own FDA-registered laboratory.



• Exceptional, Personal Service

  Call us and you will be greeted by a friendly PCHF representative who is focused on your satisfaction and who will get to know you, your practice and your product preferences. Ask questions about our products or your patients' health issues and you will find that our supportive staff can answer questions and provide sound advice - usually immediately, and always within 24 hours.

We invite you to get to know PCHF. Exceptional products, unparalleled selection and personal customer service -all designed exclusively for practitioners. We look forward to serving you.
