About NOW Foods
In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, an entrepreneur named Paul Richard bought Fearn-Soya Foods, a manufacturer of grain and legume-based products in the Chicago area, for $900. This began a six-decade legacy of supplying consumers nationwide with high-quality, affordable nutritional products. From these humble beginnings, NOW has grown from a fledgling regional brand to a leader in the natural food and supplement industry with an inventory of over 1,800 products, including nutritional supplements, natural foods, supporting literature and retail supplies.
At NOW® Foods,we remain committed to our original goal – to produce the highest quality nutritional, herbal and body care products available…at prices people can afford. We do this by sourcing our raw materials directly from the manufacturer, thereby relying less on brokers and distributors, and avoiding costly television and radio advertising. We do not employ an outside sales force, relying instead on practical, cost-effective marketing methods such as mail promotions and no-pressure telephone sales. Our high-volume business has allowed us to build strong business ties with some of the best raw material producers in the industry. Our savings are passed on to our customers in every product we manufacture, every day.
NOW® Foods continues to look for ways to cut costs with out sacrificing quality. We have moved into our permanent home, a 209,000 square foot manufacturing facility with room for growth. We continue to expand our production capabilities by making almost all of our products in-house, therefore realizing substantial savings and increasing quality control standards.
Our new facility has allowed us to expand our quality control department which includes a new state-of-the-art laboratory. We now have the capability to improve existing analytical methods. Research done in our laboratory on SAMe will soon be published in a leading medical journal. We have gained membership to many of the leading organizations in our industry, allowing for unparalleled product quality and safety.
Many consumers have come to trust the NOW® brand and have shown their approval and support by helping us become one of the leading dietary supplement manufacturers in America.
Today, more than ever, NOW® Foods makes quality affordable, and we will continue this tradition for many years to come.
