NOW Science

Our experienced professional and technical staff formulate our products to be of the highest quality. We have a group of biochemists, chemists, nutritionists, and food technologists who review current science and nutritional parameters, and formulate our products to be effective for the intended use. Our structure/function claims are based on science for active ingredients, and on nutritional science for nutritional content. Serving sizes are based on doses from clinical studies and other published data. Our contemporary formulas are designed to meet the health and wellness needs of today’s consumers. We use ingredients that have been tested for effectiveness in clinical trials and laboratory studies.

The heart of our science is third party independent research. We investigate and review clinical studies and other lab studies conducted on our ingredients and our formulas. Best science is used to support best formulations which lead to best quality.

Our products are constantly being tested in clinical trials conducted at top universities and research centers around the country and in various parts of the world. Our products are being tested to determine such things as effectiveness for joint support, quality of life for cancer patients, cardiovascular support, and athletic endurance. Effective products mean health and wellness benefits, which mean quality.
