NATURE'S WAY AND DSM

ERIC C. ESTOY 4:41:00 AM NATURE'S WAY AND DSM No comments

Over the last three and a half decades, Nature’s Way has pioneered more than just herbal and nutritional science. The company is a recognized leader among all of the nutritional and dietary supplement companies in America. Our list of “firsts” is extensive, and many of them pioneered the way retailers, consumers, industry, competitors, and even government viewed herbal and nutritional supplements. Here are a few of the things of which we are the most proud:

First nutritional products manufacturer with a state-of-the-art, pharmaceutically licensed facility
First major certified organic producer
First to bring significant European phytomedicines (plant based medicines) to market
First to spend more than a million dollars on legislative efforts to protect health freedoms
First industry recognized GMP (good manufacturing processes) facility
First to fund major third party organizations to responsibly disseminate health information and ensure quality

More than Just a Business
Nature’s Way has a rich tradition of giving back. The company’s business success has translated to success outside of the day-to-day operation. Over the years, it has been done in various ways and in varying amounts, but the fundamental belief has not changed. The company is fortunate to operate in essentially a “green” industry, and causes from environmental protection to local community programs have been an important part of Nature’s Way’s mission. The projects over the years have included:
Founding donor of groups to protect the world’s rain forests, with most of the successful work in Samoa and Southeast Asia.

Vitamins for the poor in developing nations.
Donations to fund raisers for breast cancer and other chronic diseases.
Support for self reliance programs for the homeless in select western U.S. cities.
Sponsorship effort to provide complete holiday support for local Latino children.
Support for local youth and adult athletic leagues, including the Nature’s Way women’s soccer team.

“Trust the Leaf”
The company logo for Nature’s Way is a green leaf. It symbolizes health, life, and nature. The accompanying slogan invites the world to “Trust the Leaf.” It’s more than just words on paper. It’s the creed that the company operates by everyday. “Trust the Leaf” is taken seriously by everyone in the Nature’s Way organization. The company strives to manufacture the very best possible nutritional products for human consumption. It starts with the initial trust of our retailers and affiliated business partners. This trust has been earned by decades of working hard to responsibly advance the supplement industry. It ends with the trust of satisfied consumers whose expectations have been exceeded. The company knows that millions of people rely on Nature’s Way products for the maintenance of good health. It’s a legacy and a pledge that is sacred. That’s what it means to “Trust the Leaf.”
