Ethical Profile

Mixed.

ProPhase Labs exhibits a mixed ethical profile. While contributing to public health via COVID-19 and pre-cancer diagnostic testing, its dietary supplements, like sexual enhancement products, offer less direct health benefits. The company plans animal studies for drug development (e.g., LB-1) and lacks explicit animal welfare policies. Environmentally, ProPhase Labs reported a 6.2 metric tons CO2e reduction and 27.5% packaging CO2 reduction in 2022, alongside an 8.7% water use decrease. However, its DitchCarbon score of 25 is below the industry average, performing worse than 62% of peers, with no public carbon targets. Handling sensitive genomic data through its DNA Expand platform raises concerns about data protection and cybersecurity. A non-retaliation policy supports employees reporting legal violations.
