Smidge®, your small-batch
nutritional supplement company
At Smidge®, we craft your nutritional supplements in small batches with the utmost care, using only the cleanest ingredients <3
We created our line after healing our own serious health conditions with the sustenance on our plates. Along the way, we learned that mending the gut can maximize a real food diet, with the sparkling addition of fat-soluble vitamins and minerals that our ancestors consumed.
These nutrients are impossible to get from the standard American diet, and are even difficult to get from a locally-sourced, high-quality “real food” organic diet. And processed, commercial supplements with synthetic ingredients can throw health issues even more out of whack. So we set out to make our own, with a different approach.
Because we’ve been there.
Having decades of scientific research and a deep understanding of traditional cultures and diets from pioneering the real food movement, we made it a priority to know our customers’ needs and sensitivities just as well. So we gathered feedback from parents of children on the autism spectrum, people with chronic disease and those on very special diets, listening to their desperate calls for help when no one else would.
The result is a collection even the most sensitive of the sensitive can consume, including probiotics, digestive enzymes, whole food vitamins and natural minerals.
Highly researched, clean, sans fillers and effective.
And Smidge® supplements are not just for the sensitive. They’ve been the choice of professional practitioners for more than a decade. Biohackers, elite athletes and health-conscious people also use them as an integral part of their wellness routines. But just a smidge.
Whether you’re facing your own health challenge, want to nourish your body or just want to learn more, we understand and are here to help.
From the heart to the whole being
We believe the real food our ancestors ate is medicine and that good nutrition is the root of wellness. And we make it our life's work to help our customers along this journey.
The goal behind our natural supplements is to provide critical nutrients, which can support a healthy digestive system and maximize the absorption of nutrient-dense foods.*

Meet the founders
“After healing my own digestive health condition that nearly took my life, my dear friend was inspired and successfully integrated a real food diet to completely recover her son from an autism diagnosis.* This in turn inspired me to start my own digestive supplement company and share the knowledge I gained from going to hell and back. After spending tens of thousands of dollars on treatments and mega doses of synthetic supplements that either had no effect or made things worse, I realized I had to take charge of my own health — and that food combined with pure supplements is the most powerful path to healing.*”
Daniel Corrigan
Co-Owner, CEO
“I became involved with nutrition 20 years ago when my youngest daughter was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Rather than just give her insulin for the rest of her life, I started to investigate nutritional therapies.* What I came across was a dizzying array of nutritional information and misinformation. After many years of research and going down many rabbit holes with the latest and greatest nutritional fads, I realized sticking to the basics was the most effective. Today I look at health and nutrition in simplistic terms — make sure the digestive tract is working properly, stay away from highly processed foods and toxins, and then access nutrient-dense, whole foods. Putting your body in a position to thrive doesn’t have to be complicated. It does, however, take dedication and baby steps. My partners and I developed Smidge® to help people get their digestive tract in balance while providing real food supplements that are high in essential vitamins and minerals.”

Co-Owner, Research and Development
“As a Lyme survivor and a mother of a daughter born with Lyme, I understand the pain and isolation of illness. I also know that the body wants to heal if you let it — with real food first punctuated by pure supplements.* This means sourcing the highest quality local, organic foods whenever possible and the most nutritious, well-produced supplements globally (avoiding those that are synthetic and toxic). I have learned time and time again that digestion is everything. Without it, we can't get the nutrients we need, because nutrition is at the root of all healing. And the foundations of health begin with proper digestion and healthy elimination, along with getting nutrients from real food. I’m proud to say that my daughter and I have healed. And I’m honored to share what I've learned through my nutrition education and my own personal journey back to health. It’s my goal to support and grow with you as our customer according to your bio individual needs.”
