BECAUSE THEY ARE MADE FROM PLANT CONCENTRATES, NUTRILITE ® SUPPLEMENTS CONTAIN A WIDE
ARRAY OF PHYTONUTRIENTS, setting Nutrilite apart from other makers of dietary supplements. While we believe you
should eat whole fresh fruits and vegetables whenever possible, NUTRILITE supplements fill in the gap between the fruits and
veggies you need and what you actually eat, with natural plant ingredients and the nutrition that most people don’t get
from their diet alone.
ARE PHYTONUTRIENTS JUST A NEW HEALTH BUZZWORD?
Not at Nutrilite. They’ve been a cornerstone of NUTRILITE products since the company was founded over 75 years ago.
While phytonutrients, the natural nutrients found in plants beneficial to human health, have been part of the chemical makeup
of fruits and vegetables for as long as they’ve grown on earth, it’s only been in recent years that specific phytonutrients have
been isolated, identified, and studied for their many beneficial qualities. Worldwide research has now recognized that a diet
rich in phytonutrients can help lead to optimal health. That discovery has made phytonutrients a hot topic on blogs,
in magazines, and in the news.
Read on to discover the depth and range of phytonutrients and their health benefits in whole foods and in NUTRILITE
products. Go to Nutrilite.com/color to understand why Nutrilite is the leader in phytonutrients.

VISIONARY ROOTS
With phytonutrients in the news, people are finally
starting to learn about and understand the health
benefits of using concentrated plant ingredients that
were apparent to Nutrilite founder Carl Rehnborg.
Carl lived in China in the early 1920s, where he
noticed that people in farming communities, where
fresh fruits and vegetables were plentiful, were much
healthier. In the cities, where diets included more
sugar, salt, and fat, Carl noted that there was more
disease, such as scurvy and beriberi. This cemented
the idea for Carl that the foods people eat have great
impact on their overall health. When he returned to
the U.S., he developed a way to dry plants such as
alfalfa, watercress, and parsley, while preserving their
important nutrients. This initial work became the basis
for the first multivitamin/multimineral supplement
in North America.
TODAY, NUTRILITE IS A LEADER IN PHYTONUTRIENT
RESEARCH, DEVELOPMENT, INNOVATION,
AND EDUCATION.
Under the leadership of Carl’s son, Dr. Sam Rehnborg, the next
generation of scientists, researchers, and technicians
is preserving the rich Nutrilite heritage by continuing to
produce high-quality, innovative supplements and exploring the
relationship between the soil and plants on their own certified
organic farms.

Phytonutrients are the natural nutrients found in plants, such as
lycopene from tomatoes, resveratrol from grapes, and lutein from
spinach leaves. Phytonutrients offer broad antioxidant protection
and provide many health benefits, yet we often don’t consume
enough through diet alone.

Eat a wide variety of red fruits and vegetables to get

LEARN ABOUT LYCOPENE AND ELLAGIC ACID
LYCOPENE is in the carotenoid family of phytonutrients
and can be found in fruits and vegetables such as
tomatoes, watermelon, pink grapefruit, and red cabbage.
Lycopene has awesome antioxidant benefits, and studies
have indicated that an important health benefit of lycopene
is support for prostate health. 1 Additional studies suggest
that lycopene may help promote lung and stomach
health 2 , while a high intake of lycopene may help to
moderate UV rays. 3
ELLAGIC ACID is a strong antioxidant that can be
found in raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, and
pomegranates. Research demonstrates that ellagic
acid supports DNA health.

facilitate intercellular communication and maintain
healthy cell growth.
THE PHYTONUTRIENTS
Including green on your plate means you’ll get the
benefits of beta-carotene, isothiocyanate, lutein,
zeaxanthin, and EGCG.
LEARN ABOUT EPIGALLOCATECHIN GALLATE,
ISOTHIOCYANATE, LUTEIN/ZEAXANTHIN, AND
ISOFLAVONES
EPIGALLOCATECHIN GALLATE (EGCG) can be found
in green, black, white, and oolong tea and has a variety of
health benefits. 1 It has long been recognized that EGCG is an
effective antioxidant and supports healthy cholesterol levels as
well as healthy endothelial function.
ISOTHIOCYANATE is found in cruciferous vegetables such as
broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, and Brussels sprouts and
can help to support healthy cell growth.
LUTEIN and ZEAXANTHIN are members of the carotenoid
phytonutrient family and can be found in summer squash,
marigolds, and many green, leafy vegetables. Lutein and
zeaxanthin have high antioxidant levels and work together to
support vision health.
ISOFLAVONES are found most prevalently in soybeans, but
are also present in chick peas and other legumes. Isoflavones
have tremendous antioxidant properties and help to support
heart health, bone health, and healthy cell growth.
