The quality of any product or service begins with a commitment from the company management to produce quality through excellence. Our commitment to excellence has been at the very heart of NOW Foods since our inception in 1968 and it has been firmly grounded in research and sound science.

The founding of the Standards Committee of the NNFA was only the beginning. NOW provided key funding for the first-ever comprehensive book on genetic engineering, and we are now sponsoring research conferences and new research projects that target a broad range of industry-related issues. We are developing peer reviewed methods and providing chairmanship for the development of analytical methods for grape seed extract and chondroitin. NOW sponsored the International Gerontology Conference in support of the free radical theory of aging and provides leadership in the efforts to identify genetically modified crops and provide GMO-free replacements.

Our technical management team and our team of four Ph.D.s have earned a combined 100-years of health industry experience, so we do understand what quality means. Our team of scientists are developing better methods of analysis for nutraceuticals, and these methods are changing analytical standards, industry-wide.

NOW scientists are breaking new ground in microbiological safety standards. Our state-of-the-art microbiology lab make it possible for us to perform in-house analytical tests offering added control over incoming raw materials.

The proof of NOW quality rests in our adherence to excellent manufacturing processes. We are a GMP and organic certified manufacturer. We are also kosher certified by the Union of Orthodox Jewish Congregations of America. We support not-for-profit organizations such as Citizens for Health and DSEA (Dietary Supplement Education Alliance) whose mission is to educate the public on the benefits of natural products, for our bodies and our environment.

At NOW Foods, we are convinced that health through natural products is the best method, and we live by it. Our personal commitment to a natural lifestyle is the underpinning of our commitment to produce quality products that meet the nutritional needs of our customers.

I assure you that our time-honored promise to you remains the same as it has been for over 40 years - to offer you unsurpassed quality at the best value.

In good health,
Elwood Richard, Founder
