Fullscript's journey began in 2011, born from a desire to simplify and improve how healthcare practitioners provide, and patients receive, nutritional supplements. Dr. Alanna Dyment, a naturopathic doctor, found herself wrestling with the complexities and costs of managing a physical supplement dispensary in her own clinic. She envisioned a more streamlined approach, one that would allow her to dedicate more time to patient care rather than inventory management. This vision was shared with her husband, Brad Dyment, and his partner, Kyle Braatz. Recognizing the potential to revolutionize this aspect of healthcare, they teamed up with Chris Wise, and Fullscript was officially launched.
The company started as an online platform for dispensing professional-grade nutraceuticals and supplements, allowing practitioners to prescribe and manage supplements for their patients digitally. This innovative approach quickly gained traction. A significant milestone in Fullscript's evolution was the 2018 merger with Natural Partners, an Arizona-based company with a strong background in supplement supply chain and merchandising since 1995. This merger, creating Natural Partners Fullscript (NPFS), combined Fullscript's software engineering prowess with Natural Partners' extensive distribution network and product catalog. The goal was to create a more efficient, effective, and innovative solution for the integrative healthcare market. Later, the company rebranded to simply Fullscript. Over the years, Fullscript continued to expand its offerings and reach. The platform evolved to include features like personalized treatment planning, wellness protocols, data insights, and patient adherence tools. Fullscript also focused on strategic acquisitions, such as Emerson Ecologics in 2022 and Rupa Health in 2024, further solidifying its market position and expanding its capabilities to include lab ordering and management. These moves have propelled Fullscript to become a leading healthcare platform, supporting over 100,000 practitioners and 10 million patients across North America, with a mission to power whole-person care.
