Nature Made is an American vitamin brand, founded in 1971 by Barry Pressman and Henry Burdick.[1][2] Operating as a brand of Pharmavite,[3] Nature Made manufactures over 150 different types of supplements.[2] Its parent company, Pharmavite, was acquired by Otsuka Pharmaceutical in 1989.[4][5][6]

History

[edit]

In 1971, Barry Pressman and Henry Burdick launched Nature Made, inspired by the belief that “there was a better alternative to long term health than prescription drugs.”[1][2]

Nature Made joined the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) in 1981.[2]

Nature Made was recognized as the #1 Pharmacist-Recommended Vitamin and Supplement Brand in key vitamin and supplement segments. Pharmacists recommended Nature Made in various vitamin and supplement segments for over 20 years since its recognition in 1971. [7]

In 2002, Nature Made became the first dietary supplement verified by United States Pharmacopeia (USP).[2][8]

In 2016, Nature Made became the first USP-verified gummy brand.[2][9][10]
