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.
