The 14 Mega-Corporations That Own Your Supplement Brands

Marjory Wildcraft

This chart is from 2018, so a bit outdated. Which means there probably has been more consolidations...

OMG, I avoid almost all of these brands. You would have to be out of your mind to take a One-A-Day. But I was surprised at SolaRay and Pure. Dang... I used to trust them.

I still love my Standard Process.

I thought I had made it all the way around the wheel without using any of the products but one of the last that I looked at was Nature's Way. I had thought it was a Canadian company. Apparently, I should have read the fine print more closely.

This is a good reminder to not just read labels but to do more research into your favourite brands. Or better yet, make our own medicines and reduce our need for vitamin & mineral supplements by improving our diets.

I love my herbal infusions...

@Marjory Wildcraft nettle tea, nettle tea, nettle tea, has been a game changer for me. ( I’m a poet & I don’t know it) plus a change in diet. That list must be mostly American brands because the only one that looks familiar is Centrum, which I don’t use. For supplements the brand I use is Swisse. Originally from Australia in the 60’s, it has been a tried & trusted brand but in 2015 was sold to a Chinese based company, operating out of Hong Kong! ( hope they keep the original formulations) I will do some more research.

I saw this the other day and like @Torey almost made it all the way around. Its really sad how big companies own all of these brands and we have no idea unless someone makes charts like this!

@Marjory Wildcraft thank you for that list. I too made it most of the way around. At least now we know!!

Wow, Renew Life was started locally and was know to be a very high quality brand. It is almost painful to see that the owner sold to a big corporation. On the one hand I get it, you start and build a great brand and you want to sell for as high as possible. But on the other hand, as a consumer who tries to be really careful about the products I use, it feels somewhat out of integrity.
