Enabling Success With Ingredients, Products and Services

Since 1991 HealthCo™, a division of NOW Foods, has been providing health retailers with superior bulk and raw materials and private label services, as well as natural sweeteners and sport nutrition products. The company offers an extensive selection of value-driven, science-based products backed by fast, friendly, reliable service. HealthCo offers many advantages: premium raw material and bulk product inventory, customized private labeling, technical expertise and extensive domestic sourcing capabilities.

Products
From raw materials and bulk orders to private label and specialized products, HealthCo believes that quality products begin with the finest, freshest raw ingredients. From its 260,000-square-foot operations facility, GMP certified since 2000, it manufactures and tests all raw materials and finished products to ensure identity, purity and potency. Many of HealthCo’s products utilize patented, trademarked and branded ingredients from companies such as Lonza, National Enzyme, Albion Labs, Sabinsa, InterHealth and many others. Direct importing, state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, extensive quality control and long-standing vendor relations allow it to offer a wide range of nutritional products at very competitive prices.

Services
Whether looking up past orders, tracking order status or working with customers to create custom formulas and DSHEA-compliant labels, HealthCo’s friendly, knowledgeable staff will assist throughout the entire process. The company believes that exceptional service is the foundation upon which all successful businesses are built. With this as its driving motivation, companies can count on HealthCo to put its experience, professionalism and in-depth product knowledge to work for them.

Value
Staying cost-competitive without sacrificing quality or product integrity is one of the most common obstacles facing businesses in the natural product industry. As a company committed to quality, HealthCo can assist in leveraging the relationships companies have with their customers by providing superior bulk products and private label formulas at fair, competitive prices. By buying in bulk and working closely with some of the top names in the industry, HealthCo has built its own success by finding unique ways to pass these savings on.

Raw and Bulk Materials
Whether looking for bulk powders or finished, shelf-ready formulas, HealthCo offers one of the industry’s most extensive inventories. Its highly skilled Quality Control/Quality Assurance department holds all raw material providers to meticulous quality, safety and purity standards, and all raw materials are thoroughly inspected upon arrival. Raw materials have to pass tests for microbial contamination in the company’s state-of-the-art, on-site testing facility. This is one of the ways it ensures that customers are provided with products that are safe, highly stable and fresh through the best-by date.

Private Label Service
HealthCo’s award-winning private label program makes it easy to tailor one’s own line of premium natural health products, and can be completely personalized to fit a company’s unique image. It offers hundreds of popular products to choose from, and low minimums to help explore various options. Creating one’s own line of products is fast and virtually effortless—from choosing the best products and formulas to developing a label that jumps off the shelf, HealthCo’s private label specialists will guide customers through each step of production development and shipping.

Sports Nutrition
HealthCo is one of the very few companies to offer a full spectrum of potent sports nutrition products guaranteed to be 100 percent free of artificial sweeteners, colors, flavors or preservatives. Whether one is looking for raw materials or finished formulas, HealthCo is the best source for truly natural sports nutrition.

Stevia
HealthCo offers a unique stevia extract, available in bulk or private label formats. Known as Stevia FSE™ or Better Stevia™, this raw material undergoes a natural de-bittering process; this yields a smoother and cleaner taste profile than any other stevia currently on the market. It is also one of the very few certified organic stevia extracts available for use in vitamin supplements, foods and beverages.
