Many of our products are available by prescription only. Products without directions on the manufacturer’s label are not available retail and require a prescription for purchase. Other products have been determined by the Bastyr University Formulary Committee to be best dispensed if under the direct supervision of a physician, and require a prescription for purchase.

At present, only the following providers are legally authorized to write prescriptions for supplements in Washington State:

• Allopathic Doctors (MDs)
• Naturopathic Doctors (NDs)
• Osteopaths (DOs)
• Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) and
• Pharmacists (RPh or PharmDs)

Products prescribed by an ND, MD, ARNP, DO or Pharmacist are not taxed according to RCW 82.08.925. All other products recommended by other health care practitioners are taxed in accord with Washington State Department of Revenue and all local municipalities.
