Mark F. McCarty was born in Texas in 1951, but grew up in southern California, obtaining his undergraduate education in biochemistry at UC San Diego, Revelle College, graduating magna cum laude.  He commenced his medical education by enrolling at UC San Diego School of Medicine as a Regents Scholar.  After two years, he took a one year sabbatical to research and writes a book manuscript, Nutritional Aspects of Degenerative Disease.  Following a further year of medical training, his growing concern that nutritional measures were being neglected in medical practice led him to leave medical school and devote his career to applied nutrition, taking a job as Research Director with Nutrition 21.  During 20 years of affiliation with this company, he played a key role in the development and clinical testing of organic supplemental selenium (high-selenium yeast, L-selenomethionine) as well as chromium picolinate.  This work culminated in two clinical studies of fundamental importance – Dr. Larry Clark's ten-year chemoprevention study, in which Nutrition 21's high-selenium yeast was found to cut the cancer death rate of healthy elderly volunteers by roughly 50%, and Dr. Nancy Cheng's Beijing diabetes study, in which chromium picolinate, at 1000 mcg chromium daily, was shown to be as effective as standard drugs for improving glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.

During this period, McCarty published scores of articles on a wide range of biomedical topics in the peer-reviewed medical literature, most of them appearing in the journal Medical Hypotheses.  He has been awarded 7 U.S. patents (composition of matter and/or use) for a variety of applied nutritional measures, including patents for Hepatothermic Therapy of obesity (for which the co-inventor was John Gustin) and the use of high-dose biotin with chromium picolinate as a diabetes therapy.  He is also co-founder of a mail-order nutritional supplements company, NutriGuard Research, for which he has developed the product line.  Following his affiliation with Nutrition 21, McCarty has worked as a consultant to Pantox Labs in San Diego, and to the Block Integrative Cancer Care Clinic in Evanston, Illinois.  He is currently a consultant to Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana, Mexico, and to Natural Alternatives, a nutritional manufacturer based in San Marcos, California.  He continues to author numerous technical publications.
