THE BEGINNING


Nutrilite has a history that dates back to the early decades of the twentieth century when one man set out on a mission. Carl F. Rehnborg was an adventurous young businessman working in the 1920s in China. While living in China in the early 1920s, Carl F. Rehnborg noticed, amid unforgettable malnutrition and disease, an important connection between the foods people ate and their overall health.

  • In farming communities, where fresh fruits and vegetables were plentiful, people were much healthier overall.
  • In the cities, where diets included far more sugar, salt, and fat, Carl noted that there were many more instances of critical diseases, such as scurvy and beriberi.
During political unrest in Shanghai, Carl was isolated in a protected enclave. There, he conceived the idea of using nutritional elements missing from the typical diet as a way to improve overall health.
  • Carl supplemented his meager diet with soups from what was available: local herbs, grasses, and vegetables, along with rusty nails (for iron), and lime stone and ground-up animal bones (for calcium).
  • He shared his broth with a few friends, although the flavor was far from palatable.
  • Months later, Carl and his friends who ate the nutrient-rich broth emerged from their enclave much healthier than those who had eaten only army rations.
Returning to the United States, Carl set up a small laboratory on California's Balboa Island, where, over the next six years, he conducted experiments using different plant varieties.
  • He developed a way to dry these plants while still preserving their important nutrients.
  • He created a formulation of alfalfa, watercress, and parsley, which became the basis of his first product.

when he developed a lifelong interest in nutrition and wellness. His work led to the development of a unique food supplement, created to harness nature's power to bring the diet back into balance, helping us achieve better health naturally. Ultimately, Carl Rehnborg created the first multivitamin/multimineral supplement sold in North America. That product was NUTRILITE.
