“Optimum health addresses the mind, body and spirit. Through small adjustments in lifestyle, nutrition and prudent supplementation, you can better adapt to the changes that time brings, and achieve and maintain optimum health over your lifetime.”

- Andrew Weil, M.D.

I firmly believe that no matter what your age, appearance, or health problems, it is still possible to look and feel better.  Furthermore, I believe that it is never too late to start. However, this leads to the question “Start doing what?” I have invested a lot of personal time and effort into coming up with the answer, and as a result, many years later, NutraOrigin’s set of goals was outlined and the product line was created.

Here is the story:

I became a health enthusiast after joining the army.  Being a part of the Special Forces, I quickly came to realize that my performance completely relied on my physical condition.  This led me to believe that being in better shape equals better health.  Such a naïve consideration collapsed after my term of service came to a close and I moved on to begin college.  It was shortly after that when I started to experience a number of unpleasant symptoms, which gradually increased in severity over time.

I went to doctors first and, then hospitals, with no resolution.  I was in much better physical shape than most of my friends and I never smoked, while some of them did.  My family had an excellent health history which was not the case for some of the healthier guys I knew.  I held a routine training regiment as a number of my friends never even exercised.  The doctors could not help and as my symptoms continued to get worse my list of activities began to shrink and life was becoming less and less appealing.  I quickly came to realize that I had no other choice but to rely on myself.  I began reading books about alternative medicine and I met with scientists who were conducting research in the field.  As a result, I was able to develop a program, the foundation of which was the intake of nutritional supplements and soon enough I got my life back.  It was a good lesson on what nutraceuticals can do and one that would change my life forever.

There were many factors that influenced the formation of my own concept on health related issues we all face as individuals and as a society as well. I spent many years working as an Environmental Engineering Consultant leading a number of large projects aimed to reduce pollutions for industrial and urban zones.  I also worked hand in hand with many health organizations and agencies which had a lasting effect on my thinking as well

As time passed, I advanced in my career, I raised a family, and, my interest in nutritional supplements and a healthy lifestyle was always a big part of my life.

Knowing my passion and willingness to help, led many of my friends, colleagues and neighbors to ask me to help them build supplement regiments that would optimize their health. This was how I became the sort of “nutritional guru” in this small circle of people.  Being involved in such a process, I faced a number of challenges:

-       There were very few quality complex formulations designed for specific health concerns.

-       Many products on the market contain such an ineffective concentration level of the formula’s ingredients (due to the production cost restrictions), that it would require  the intake of several bottles per month in order to reach the needed effect.

-       It takes a significant investment of time and logistic efforts from the average consumer to do research, build a needed regiment, and obtain nutritional products, unless you consider involving health professionals and dealing with expenses usually not covered by insurance.

The next logical step in my mind was to form a company that specializes in the development of state-of-the-art comprehensive formulations designed to nutritionally address some of the most devastating health concerns in North America..  The result was the birth of NutraOrigin.

Years later, I find myself fortunate enough to work with a great team of dedicated professionals who prides themselves on manufacturing only those products that provide legitimate results for the consumer.

We are a performance oriented company which means that all of our new product introductions arise from genuine advances in technology and performance. We have always and continue to pride ourselves on our commitment to the highest standards of ethics and integrity.  Each and every one of our products guarantees:

• Purity and Potency
• Integrity of Formulation
• Adherence to Label Claims

One of our main priorities at NutraOrigin is to never take professional or ethical shortcuts.  This is why all of our formulations are developed with no cost or time restrictions in order to ensure the highest level of effectiveness and to provide:

• Highly concentrated dosages of each ingredient.
• Multiple effective components that deliver the full spectrum of nutritional benefits.
• Synergistic compositions that maximize the integrity and absorption of all individual components
  in our products.

When comparing our product line to that of other nutraceutical brands, it is plain to see that our formulations greatly supersede most of our competitors because we offer a greater amount of ingredients in higher concentrations. All of our products are manufactured in facilities which are independently inspected and certified as Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP). Many NutraOrigin products include herbal ingredients or components derived from plants and we also use vegetarian capsules. This is why most of our products are vegetarian.

As a company it is important to NutraOrigin that we understand our customer’s nutritional needs, challenges and accomplishments. This is the reason why we have created these communities such as the ones you will see here as well as on our Facebook and Twitter. Our goal is to hold a forum where all of us can learn from each other through shared experiences. As we go into 2010, it is our hope to evolve with the community in order to provide better health and wellness for you all. We welcome you into our network and I hope to hear what makes you motivated, feel good and challenged to take yourself to the next level.
