​Vitamins and Minerals

 

 

 

 

 

Nutralite is an all natural product founded by one man named Carl F. Rehnborg.

In 1934 vitamins did not exist. People found it difficult to get all of the nutrients there bodies needed on a daily basis.

in 1920s when he was living in China, Carl Rehnborg noticed disease and malnutrition. He realized that there was 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. Then, Carl Rehnborg, created his first nutrition product and became known to man as a pioneer in the history of nutrition.

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. Since 1934, when the first NUTRILITE product was introduced, the company has become a leader in nutrition research, development, and innovation.

 

Carl Rehnborg left a legacy behind. His son, Sam Rehnborg is now in control of the company. 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.
