The NOW® mission is - To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.
In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its
infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn
Soya Foods—a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based
products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking
consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products.
NOW is still family owned as it has been from the beginning. El Richard
started the company in 1968 and the entire family has contributed to the
success of NOW.
The Story of Now Foods
Celebrating over 40 Years of Empowering Healthier Lives
In
1968, NOW Foods was founded under the belief that good health was not a
luxury available only to the wealthy. For the past forty years, we have
made it our life's work to offer health food and nutritional
supplements of the highest quality, at prices that are fair and
affordable to all those who seek them.
Today, NOW Foods is one
of the top-selling brands in health foods stores, an award-winning
manufacturer, a respected advocate of the natural product industry, and a
leader in the fields of nutritional science and methods development.
And while we have grown considerably over the past four decades, one
thing has never changed – our commitment to providing products and
services that empower people to lead healthier lives.
