The Nutrilite History (Part 2)

THE BEST OF NATURE

THE POWER OF PHYTONUTRIENTS

Phytonutrients are plant-based compounds and are key ingredients to neutralizing free radical damage, strengthening the immune system and maintaining optimal health. It is no coincidence that phytonutrients are the key ingredients in NUTRILITE® vitamin, mineral and dietary supplements, offering superior nutritional benefits compared to just vitamins and minerals alone.

SOME FACTS ABOUT PHYTONUTRIENTS

• Phytonutirent-rich plant concentrates have been the foundation of Nutrilite products since the 1930s.
• The NUTRILITE® brand is a world leader in Phytonutrient research.
• Nutrilite utilizes a variety of chromatography methods to identify, measure and document the Phytonutrients in our plant concentrates.
• Nutrilite commitment to constant scientific discovery, clinical research and nutritional evaluations and assessments keep them at the top rung of leadership in the scientific community.

CERTIFIED ORGANIC FARMING

Even before organic farming was "in" it was their choice of farming method. And because of Nutrilite's early involvement and ongoing commitment, today Nutrilite own more certified organic farmland than any other supplement company in the world-thousands of acres where plants are grown, harvested and handled using only sustainable, non-synthetic, pesticide-free methods.

NUTRILITE® is the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow harvest and process plants on its own certified farms. On four farms in the three countries (Brazil, Mexico and the United States), Nutrilite are raising the bar by practicing sustainable farming the next step beyond certified organic*.

From seed to serving. More than a catchphrase, this principal ensured Nutrilite's control over every step of every NUTRILITE® vitamin, mineral and dietary supplements.

Plant concentrates used in NUTRILITE® products that have not been grown on Nutrilite's own organic farms must meet Nutrilite's strict quality standards. Nutrilite agriculture scientists have established the NutriCert™ program to certify our suppliers and move them toward the Nutrilite philosophy of sustainable farming and socially responsible business practices. These are the guiding principal of Nutrilite.

SOME STEPS TAKEN TOWARDS ORGANIC FARMING

1. Encourage Diversity on the farms, cultivate vegetation in layers (such as herbs, bushes and trees in the same field), and practice green soil cover, crop rotation, intercropping, integration with animal husbandry, the use of beneficial insects and microorganisms, green manuring. forest and native vegetation, and more.
2. Build soil use composted manures and crop residues, rock powders, mineral fertilizers and beneficial microorganisms; erosion control; mulching; good use of irrigation and water resources; and no soil burning.
3. Don't Contaminate use integrated pest management techniques such as use of lady bugs in the farmlands; adhere to organic certification standards; and protect from neighboring and eventual sources of contamination.
4. Ensure Traceability every action performed on the farm must be documented and controlled. Input records, seed lots, crop rotations and more provide quality assurance in the final product.
5. Build a Healthy Social Environment On the farms and in the surrounding community, provide farm employees and their families the opportunity for personal development, health care and education.
6. Nutrilite farming practices There are over 6,400 acres of NUTRILITE farmland, where plants are grown and harvested in accordance with nature – using sustainable, chemical-free methods.
7. Unique Nutrilite processing techniques NUTRILITE plants are dehydrated and processed within hours of harvest, using special methods and state-of-the-art equipment to capture nature's valuable nutrients.
8. Measurable Nutrilite quality Good Manufacturing Practices and a team of quality-assurance experts ensure high quality standards for the NUTRILITE brand – so that the supplements produced each month meet precise specifications for quality, potency, size, weight, and hardness.
9. Leading-edge nutrition science The search for new concentrates and better formulations remains a constant quest for scientists and researchers of the NUTRILITE brand. Their innovative work remains the driving force that keeps NUTRILITE products at the forefront of the nutrition industry.
10. "Just-in-time" freshness Instead of storing our products for months in warehouses, they are carefully packaged and shipped soon after production, to maintain freshness. No other supplements are grown, harvested, processed, and shipped in this way.

and in this way The Nutrilite is using best of the nature in their products and providing the same to us.
