ABOUT US

Our history, who drives us, and who helps guide us

Nutriex was created in 1999 by Dr. Thomas Rosenberg, Dr. Randall Olson, and bioengineer Kathleen Deffner in response to their clinical requirements for nutrients, in lieu of drugs, which could fuel healing mechanisms in their treatments of eye and orthopedic conditions. Rosenberg had observed that regular NSAIDs for arthritis were "cover-up drugs" with unacceptable long term side effects. At age 46, his own wear-and-tear arthritis needed a sustainable solution that would work via natural pathways of anti-inflammatory and joint nutrition. Dr. Olson recognized that of the dozen existing prescriptions for dry eye syndrome, none actually healed the condition. He optimized an omega-3 preparation that became Nutriex Omega-3/Fish Oil.

Recognizing the advantages of multi-system nutrient supplementation and to assist formulation, a science panel was created. Experts in preventive cardiology, immunology, gerontology, exercise science, nutrition and others were recruited. Nutriex Health was formulated and manufactured in Ogden, Utah under FDA standards and the highest manufacturing scrutiny. Later, products were also deemed to be important and then formulated to supplement athlete nutrition, protein, omega-3, bone and joint, and a low-cost multivitamin without joint nutrients over a 10-year period. Nutriex products have been adopted by health providers and sport-defining athletes in cycling, rock climbing, golf, winter sports, rodeo, and hundreds of their recreational counterparts. Thousands of patients have benefitted by the Nutriex products to amplify good nutrition and to avoid unnecessary drug prescriptions. Serving sizes are customized to your weight and quality of your diet. We use clinically proven, highest quality ingredients that are prepared for optimal absorption and higher value over other leading supplements. In every case possible, pure, organic ingredients that are devoid of toxic residue are used.

Since being on the US Ski Team, my knees haven't been the same (mogul skiing no less) - might have had something to do with the dual ACL ligament blow-outs and the eight knee surgeries. I assumed I could no longer be competitive. Someone suggested these little gold and white pills, which I took faithfully. After six weeks, the function in my knees had improved - it was amazing. Thank you so much Nutriex! —Kristen Ulmer
