history

One Man, Carl F. Rehnborg Prior to 1934, there were no known multivitamin/multimineral supplements. People found it difficult to know if they were getting enough nutrients in their daily diets. Then, Carl Rehnborg, founder of the NUTRILITE brand, created his first nutrition product and became a pioneer in the history of nutrition. His Dream While living in China in the early 1920s, Carl Rehnborg noticed, amid unforgettable malnutrition and disease, an important connection between the foods people ate and their overall health. In farming communities, where fresh fruits and vegetables were plentiful, people were much healthier overall. In the cities, where diets included far more sugar, salt, and fat, Carl noted that there were many more instances of critical diseases, such as scurvy and beriberi. During political unrest in Shanghai, Carl was isolated in a protected enclave. There, he conceived the idea of using nutritional elements missing from the typical diet as a way to improve overall health. Carl supplemented his meager diet with soups from what was available: local herbs, grasses, and vegetables, along with rusty nails (for iron), and lime stone and ground-up animal bones (for calcium). He shared his broth with a few friends, although the flavor was far from palatable. Months later, Carl and his friends who ate the nutrient-rich broth emerged from their enclave much healthier than those who had eaten only army rations. Returning to the United States, Carl set up a small laboratory on California's Balboa Island, where, over the next six years, he conducted experiments using different plant varieties. He developed a way to dry these plants while still preserving their important nutrients. He created a formulation of alfalfa, watercress, and parsley, which became the basis of his first product. Ultimately, Carl Rehnborg created the first multivitamin/multimineral supplement sold in North America. Our Legacy Since 1934, when the first NUTRILITE product was introduced, the company has become a leader in nutrition research, development, and innovation. Today, under the leadership of Carl's son, Dr. Sam Rehnborg, the next generation of scientists, researchers, and technicians is preserving the rich Nutrilite heritage by continuing to produce high quality, innovative supplements. Because they are made from whole plant concentrates, many NUTRILITE supplements contain a wide array of phytonutrients. Throughout his life, Carl Rehnborg believed this was the optimum way to achieve good nutrition the way nature intended. Manufacturing operations in Buena Park, California, and Guangzhou, China, produce up to 10 billion NUTRILITE tablets, capsules and softgel capsules annually. seed to serving Nutrilite - Uncommon Standards and Quality Carl Rehnborg's high principles of quality and value have helped shape the NUTRILITE™ brand.

The NUTRILITE advantage extends from seed to finished product. manufacturing Nutrilite - We Never Compromise on Quality At the NUTRILITE™ manufacturing facility, our standards of quality in manufacturing are as much a part of our company culture as our natural farming practices. Clean rooms and well-cared-for equipment are one measure of excellence; another is the level of expertise demonstrated by Nutrilite staff throughout the manufacturing process. Plants are harvested at their nutritional peak and transported as quickly as possible to our dehydration facility. The concentration process uses specialized equipment in a state-of-the-art facility to dehydrate, mill, and extract nature's richest nutrients from the plants – creating the world's finest nutritional concentrates. Each batch of concentrate powder is tested to ensure it is free of contaminants and of proper potency. Computer-controlled scales measure the exact weight and amount of each concentrate powder. The various powders are then blended together with selected vitamins and minerals into a single, uniform mixture. The powder blend is compressed into tablets, coated with a special solution for easier swallowing, and inspected closely for cracks or chips. Finished tablets are sealed in specially-designed containers to maintain freshness. Quality Experts for the NUTRILITE brand Perform Over 25,000 Tests a Month on Our Products. Dietary Supplement Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) are strictly followed to ensure that NUTRILITE™ products are safe, properly identified, and of the highest quality. Every NUTRILITE supplement carries a promise: THE BEST OF NATURE. THE BEST OF SCIENCE.
