Company DescriptionNew Generation Wellness has a rich history dating back to 1924, when the founders of our parent company started cultivating, drying, and hand encapsulating fruits and vegetables – the early sources of vitamin and mineral supplements. We ventured into pharmaceuticals and by the 1940s, we were a registered FDA pharmaceutical manufacturer. In response to the increasing demand for private label supplements in specialty natural products stores, we established the Vitamer Labs division in 1975. With its success, another division – VitaCeutical Labs – was formed to cater to the growing need for premium private label natural supplements in pharmacies and grocery stores. Today, 100 years later, our commitment to natural wellness and exceptional quality remains top priority.New Generation Wellness has a rich history dating back to 1924, when the founders of our parent company started cultivating, drying, and hand encapsulating fruits and vegetables – the early sources of vitamin and mineral supplements.
