NOW’s Mission
The NOW mission is to provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives. NOW Foods is an award-winning and highly respected manufacturer of vitamins, minerals, dietary supplements, and natural foods.

In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 to purchase 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.

History of NOW
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, NOW has made it their life’s work to offer healthy food and nutritional supplements of the highest quality at fair and affordable prices to all those seeking 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 nutritional science and methods development. While NOW has grown considerably over the past four decades, one thing has never changed: NOW’s commitment to providing products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.
