NOW Foods is a manufacturer of natural supplements that has been providing people with top quality products and services to help empower them to lead healthier lives since 1968.
NOW was founded by entrepreneur and degreed physical chemist, Elwood Richard, whose research on ways to improve physical performance via the use of nutrition and health foods was indeed pioneering back in the day. However, his first attempt to provide consumers with stellar quality, yet affordable, nutritional supplements was unsuccessful because of the products’ high prices. NOW Foods became a reality when Elwood decided to take control over product quality and cost by manufacturing his own natural products and supplying his stores with them. The Richard family still owns NOW, which has grown into a leader in the natural product industry.
NOW is a highly reputable vitamin company. It is USDA certified organic, Non-GMO Project Verified, and PETA Cruelty-Free certified. In addition, NOW actively seeks out the highest quality ingredients at the most affordable prices for our customers — all while making sure there is a minimal impact on the environment.
NOW is also committed to using recyclable packaging materials and partners with Terracycle, a U.S.-based recycling company that takes non-recyclable and hard-to-recycle pre-consumer and post-consumer waste and converts it into finished goods. As a result of all these efforts, NOW has received numerous awards for its commitment to environmental sustainability.
NOW has a human face and takes part in and even hosts environmental schemes throughout the local community. For instance, the company hosts an East Branch forest preserve cleanup day, where its employees clean, de-litter, and maintain (i.e., set up fish nurseries, plant native seeds, etc.) the forest area in DuPage County that is right next to the NOW Glen Road plant.
Also, the organization has joined hands with The Conservation Foundation, a non-profit charity organization devoted to promoting stewardship and protecting natural land, watersheds, rivers, and open space, as a means to create awareness towards healthy water conservation in the Chicagoland area. In doing so, they particulate in several different programs, such as special sales on items like rainwater diverters, composters, rain barrels, and more.
Besides, when communities close to home are struck by natural disasters and need help, NOW is among the first to contribute with any possible means, including clothing and food donations. All that aside, the company has its own internal charity drives for back to school supplies, Christmas gifts for impoverished children, and other drives of the kind.
