drinks of the 1920s
The concept of a multivitamin or multimineral is commonplace today, but back in 1934, there were no known multivitamin / multimineral supplements.
What has not changed since that time is the fact that people still is difficult to know whether they are getting enough nutrients in your daily diet.
Back in 1934 was a born pioneer in the field of nutrition, when Carl Rehnborg, founder of the Nutrilite brand, created his first nutrition product in history.
The dream of a man – Carl Rehnborg
In early 1920, Carl Rehnborg lived in rural areas of China. In the midst of malnutrition and disease incredible realized a critical relationship between the foods people ate and the results of its overall health.
- In rural agriculture () communities, fruits and vegetables were available for most people, and therefore people were much healthier overall.
- In urban areas (cities) areas, the diet consisted of more sugar, salt and fat, Carl noticed that the cases of critical illness, as scurvy, dropsy, pellagra, beriberi, and xerophthalmia increased dramatically since rural communities.
It was during the political turmoil and elevation of Chiang Kai-shek, Carl found himself isolated and alone in a remote part of the country protected. There, he conceived the idea of using elements missing nutrient in the typical diet as a way to improve overall health.
- Carl supplemented his meager diet with soups from what was available: local grasses, herbs and vegetables, together with rusty nails (for iron), and lime stone and ground up animal bones (for calcium).
- Shared the broth with some friends, though the taste was far from acceptable.
- Months later, Carl and his friends who ate the nutrient-rich broth, emerged from his protected peripheral portion of the country much healthier than those who had eaten only army rations.
When Carl Rehnborg returned to the United States in 1920, he established a small laboratory in California Balboa Island, where for the next six years, experiments were conducted with different varieties.
- Carl developed a way to dry the plants while still preserving their important nutrients.
- He also created a formulation of alfalfa, watercress and parsley, which became the basis of its first product.
Ultimately, In 1934, Carl Rehnborg created the first / multivitamin multimineral supplement sold in North America.
The legacy of NUTRILITE
Since the first NUTRILITE product introduced in 1934, the company has become a leader in nutrition research, development and innovation.
Today, under the leadership of Carl's son, Dr. Sam Rehnborg, the next generation of scientists, researchers and technicians is the rich Nutrilite heritage conservation continue producing high quality, innovative supplements.
Because they are made from whole plant concentrates, supplements NUTRILITE many of which contain a variety of phytonutrients.
Throughout his life, Carl Rehnborg thought that was the best way to good nutrition as nature intended.
Today, manufacturing operations in Buena Park, California, and Guangzhou, China, produce up to 10 thousand billion NUTRILITE tablets, capsules and softgel capsules annually.
NUTRILITE Today
Back in 1934, Carl began to sell his new supplement person to person, friend to friend, through word-of-mouth referrals.
When some of these clients to the top began to refer new customers to Carl, he suggested that selling the product themselves, rewarding with discounts on their purchases.
Just as Carl had created the first multivitamin / Multimineral supplement sold in North America, was also a pioneer in several early-level marketing system and a revolutionary new business model still in use today.
The two people who led the Nutrilite brand to its current successful business agenda was Rich DeVos and Jay Van Andel. Rich and Jay had been distributing NUTRILITE products for 10 years before they founded Amway in 1959 as was spent on product quality and committed to integrity brand.
Today, the Nutrilite brand is sold exclusively by Amway and Quixtar Independent Business Owners worldwide .*
Carl Rehnborg innovative work was the beginning of a company billions of dollars.
"Independent Business have made Quixtar the number a retailer in the online Health & Beauty category and 14th among all e-commerce sites … "
* During the 2008-2009, Quixtar is adopting the Amway Global name in North America. This change is part of a larger transformation of our business opportunity which includes exceptional new products, more support, and enhanced compensation. So when you read the name Quixtar on this site, think Amway Global.
