by Mark and Caroline Owens, Natural Balance began with one product, Pep, the original herbal energizer. From those humble beginnings, the company has grown to occupy a campus of manufacturing, warehouse, and administrative buildings in Castle Rock, Colorado.

We now employ more than 100 people and produce more than 30 products in categories such as weight loss, energy, specialty and sports nutrition. Our products are found in all fifty states and more than twenty foreign countries.

Since its founding, the company's sales growth has consistently outpaced the industry because of our commitment to produce premium natural products that deliver promised results. Natural Balance was one of the first companies in the industry to establish a Scientific Advisory Board to keep abreast of the latest developments in nutrition and health technology.

Today, we are taking the lead on important industry issues such as quality assurance and good manufacturing practices. The company continues to grow with innovative product development, retail sales support,strong marketing, creative merchandising, and a dedication to maintaining the kind of customer trust that translates into repeat business and long-term growth. When consumers see the Natural Balance logo on a bottle or box, they have confidence in the efficacy, purity and safety of the product inside.

When my wife Caroline and I founded this company in 1983, we were determined to produce quality herbal and natural products that helped people live healthier lives.

In the beginning, we had one primary product, Pep. I was the company salesman and Caroline handled accounting and administrative tasks. Today, our company manufactures more than 60 different products using more than 400 different herbal and natural ingredients. We have become the largest private employer in Castle Rock, Colorado with an extensive campus of manufacturing, warehouse and administrative offices.

Despite our growth, our commitment to that initial goal of producing quality herbal and natural products that help people live healthier lives remains unchanged. We devote enormous resources to assuring that our products are manufactured according to good manufacturing practices. We invest significant capital in researching and developing the latest and most advanced nutritional supplements.As a result, Natural Balance has developed a reputation with retailers and consumers for trustworthiness, quality and effectiveness.

Thank you for your interest in Natural Balance. You have my commitment as the company's CEO that as we grow, we will never lose sight of the goal Caroline and I put in place when we started this company. We believe it is and will continue to be the cornerstone of the company's success.
