New Page 1 In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its infancy, an entrepreneur named Paul Richard bought Fearn-Soya Foods, a manufacturer of grain and legume-based products in the Chicago area, for $900. Thus began a six-decade legacy of supplying consumers nationwide with high-quality, affordable nutritional products.

At NOW® Foods, we remain committed to our original goal – to produce the highest quality nutritional, herbal and body care products available…at prices people can afford. We do this by sourcing our raw materials directly from the manufacturer, thereby relying less on brokers and distributors, and avoiding costly television and radio advertising. We do not employ an outside sales force, relying instead on practical, cost-effective marketing methods such as mail promotions and no-pressure telephone sales. Our high-volume business has allowed us to build strong business ties with some of the best raw material producers in the industry. Our savings are passed on to our customers in every product we manufacture, every day.
