Question
Thank you Dr. Schell for your response.  
When I started I thought I would market the product myself (it is a natural product called 'ortho flex' that contains msm, aloe, emu oil etc.) but with time constraints and demand I couldnt keep up.  Therefore Dr. Schell, I was thinking that getting involved with a large distributor would be the best for exposure. What type of products do you distribute?   I started developing the product when I was in medical school and have been primarily selling the product to Chiropractors in Alberta.  Thank you for helping me, i appreciate it.

Dear Dr. Schell:  

My name is Dan Gill, i am a medical doctor from Canada.  I have developed a natural product for back pain and muscular ailments.  I was hoping to find a distributor?  Would you happen to know of distributors that work with chiropractors? The product is doing very well with local chiropractors and i have been encourage by them to take the product national, and to the US.

thank you very much

Dan Gill
Answer -
What is your product, and what kind of a distributor are you looking for? I myself am a "distributor" for certain products, and that is a second business/stream of income for me. Are you looking to join a larger group and have your product in with others, or start your own and just market your product? The only other way I could see it working for you would be to market to the D.C.'s at events specifically for the doctors...homecomings at the schools, state association meetings, etc.  

Answer
I actually own my own business through Quixtar, which acts as a large internet mall. Through that I have access to both partner stores with publicly recognized products, as well as exclusive brands of vitamins and supplements, as well as cosmetics and skin care, just to name a few. We are also very involved in sports nutrition, and that has been the biggest area of growth for us in the past couple of years.

I know docs who are distributors, mostly with (other) nutritional supplement companies...that usually just sell to their patients, and a few who use topicals. I really don't know how to "get in" with any of those companies, but good luck!
