From the start, Nutrilite products were based on the philosophy that consuming healthy plants was an essential part of proper nutrition. With that in mind, most of the Nutrilite supplements contain plant concentrates and many are grown on our own organically certified farms.
Those plants are dried and their nutrients extracted and concentrated through a proprietary system invented by Nutrilite founder Carl F. Rehnborg. The system leaves the plant concentrate rich in phytochemicals compounds created by healthy plants that are known for their nutritional and health benefits.
Any ingredients used in Nutrilite products from outside manufacturers must pass a stringent checklist of good manufacturing practices (GMP) and high Nutrilite standards to ensure high quality.
Farming practices : A natural advantage
The farms where Nutrilite product ingredients are grown use natural methods to fertilize and protect crops. Some of these methods include releasing predators and insects to control crop-eating pests, superheating fields and releasing livestock to deter and remove weeds, rotating crops, and using oxygenating plants to protect and renew soil.
Nutrilite crops are processed within hours of harvesting to ensure the most nutrients possible are retained or they are quick frozen to keep them fresh during shipping for processing at its Buena Park facility.
