Standard Process Inc., Palmyra, WI, manufacturer of whole food nutrient solutions for the healthcare professional market, has hired John Troup, PhD, as vice president, clinical science, education and innovation. In this newly created position, Dr. Troup will be responsible for providing leadership and direction for new product development and scientific validation of products and practices and significant education advances for clinicians and patients.  

“We are thrilled to have John Troup join Standard Process,” said Charles DuBois, CEO of Standard Process. “Dr. Troup’s excitement about our whole food approach, our commitment to organic farming, his appreciation for the legacy of Dr. Royal Lee, his expertise and experience in clinical education, and his foremost commitment to serving patients makes him the ideal person for this new and expansive role at Standard Process.”

Dr. Troup, whose prior position was chief science officer and president metaproteomics research division at Metagenics, Inc., is an internationally recognized leader in the field of nutrition science, health, and wellness. He has more than 20 years of experience in the strategic development and launch of science-supported products and education for practitioners and their patients. He brings to Standard Process a successful track record of innovation for growing product, brand and company revenues, and geographic growth.

“I joined Standard Process because it represents the future of nutrition,” said Dr. Troup. “My paradigm in healthcare and nutrition has really changed over the years. Sometimes it takes a while for science to catch up with empirical evidence and empirical observation. The great practitioners of our time in healthcare and medicine understood the patient intuitively, and could work with them by listening to what their issues were and understanding the underlying causes of issues and factors.”

Dr. Troup’s education in biology, human metabolism & bioenergetics, and his research, development, and product innovation experience are well-aligned with the legacy of Dr. Royal Lee, the founder of Standard Process.

“Like Dr. Lee who devoted his life creating solutions to counter nutritional deficiencies caused by industrialized food production and refined, processed foods, Dr. Troup is dedicated to discoveries to improve health through nutritional therapies,” said Mr. DuBois.
