AIM GLOBAL MANUFACTURER
America's leader in
herbal medicine.
America's leader in
herbal medicine.
If you've heard of
Nature's Way, or better yet, used our products, it's not surprising. We have
been America's leader in herbal medicine for over 40 years. As the pre-eminent
provider of health and healing through the power of nature, our commitment to
quality reflects our commitment to you. In fact, it's woven into the very story
of our founding.
A family crisis and
an herbal renaissance.
Nature's Way
originated from a circumstance we can all understand-a family's desperate need
to overcome a personal health crisis. Back in the late 1960s, Tom Murdock, the
founder of what is now Nature's Way, needed a solution to help his gravely ill
wife. After trying conventional medicine without success, Tom and his wife
turned to the traditional Native American knowledge of "medicinal plants"
growing in the Arizona desert. As a result, she recovered and lived an
additional 25 years.
Tom Murdock's
pioneering spirit did more than save a life-it led to the renaissance of herbal
medicine in America. As word spread about his wife's recovery, Tom set out to
find other healthy treasures growing in the Arizona desert. By 1969, Tom and
his family had eight new herbal remedies to share with others and thus began
the legacy of Nature's Way.
While it may seem
hard to believe now, for many years herbal knowledge was a lost art in a
country fueled by conventional, and often invasive, medical approaches. The
founding of Nature's Way reopened a door that had long been closed. Motivated
by a passion to spread the power of natural healing, Tom and his family moved
back home to the beautiful mountain valleys of Utah and almost single-handedly
spurred the growth of what could be called the "Silicon Valley of Herbal
Supplements."
An industry pioneer
in many ways.
When you've been
pioneering natural health for over 40 years, you develop an impressive list of
"firsts" among major dietary supplement companies. Many of these
innovations initiated by Nature's Way have shaped how America thinks about
natural medicine. Here are just a few: We have a state-of-the-art, pharmaceutically
licensed, industry-recognized GMP manufacturing facility, and invested in it
well before it became more common to do so.
We were the first
major supplement company to be certified as an organic food processor, an
important distinction as we focus on being caretakers of our resources, as well
as natural medicine providers.
We were the first to
bring clinically proven, European phytomedicines to the U.S. market that had
long been recognized as effective, but were new to many in this country.
We fund major
third-party organizations to responsibly disseminate trustworthy health
information and ensure quality in the field at large.
We believe that
health freedoms aren't something to take for granted. As such, we champion and
fund legislative efforts to guard our health.
Nature's
Way Today
Today, our
manufacturing capacities have expanded and we're able to bring even more good
things to you. As one of the most technologically advanced supplement
manufacturers in the United States, we continue to push the boundaries forward
on quality research, testing and introducing new ingredients. We offer over 500
premium nutritional and natural products, including single herbs and herbal
extracts, homeopathic remedies, vitamins, minerals and specialty products.
After all,
innovation, seeking the best in nature, and bringing "the world's
best" to the marketplace is our goal. Like our founder Tom Murdock, we're
still pioneering. There are many discoveries yet to be made in this amazing
world. They may happen in a rainforest, a savannah, or like they did over 40
years ago, in a desert. When they are discovered, we'll bring them to you.
It's more
than a business. We believe in giving back
Nature's Way is
grateful for our business success and we express it through a tradition of
giving back. A few examples include:
- Founding donor groups to protect the world's rainforests, where the world's next great herbal medicines may be discovered.
- Donating vitamins to the poor in developing nations, where daily nutrients are in short supply.
- Supporting self-reliance programs for the homeless to address physical needs and the dignity of each individual.
- Contributing to research to find a cure for breast cancer and other diseases.
That's
why you can Trust the Leaf.
We mean it. We take
it seriously. We strive to produce the very best and have worked hard to build
trusting relationships with our retailers and with you. We know that millions
of people rely on Nature's Way products to enhance their health. We consider it
a legacy of our history and a pledge to the future. That's why you can turn to
us again and again and "Trust the Leaf."
