Founder Carl Rehnborg introduced North America's first multivitamin/mineral supplement in 1934.
While the value of phytonutrients is now a well-known part of nutrition science, Rehnborg was basing his supplements on these compounds nearly five decades before they achieved broad acceptance in the 1980s.
And today, labs dedicated to the Nutrilite brand conduct research that will help the brand develop products that can be customized to an individual's personal health needs.
