Sharing the Healing Power of Nature
For Over 50 Years
Discovering Nature’s Power
In 1972, a friend recommended Gene Hughes take cayenne pepper (capsicum) by the spoonful for a nagging stomach condition. While the spicy powder was hard to swallow, the results were obvious. Gene’s stomach improved and his discomfort faded away!
Gene was so impressed that he began sharing his story with others, and even encouraged his wife, Kristine, to take the capsicum powder, too.
While Kristine couldn’t deny the effects of capsicum for her husband, she also couldn’t swallow the raw capsicum powder. It was just too hot! But she wanted try it, so she asked Gene to find her encapsulated capsicum. They looked everywhere, but while tableted vitamins were plentiful, no one encapsulated herbal remedies.
This simple yet innovative idea sparked a revolutionary advancement in natural health, as the Hughes began encapsulating capsicum by hand around their kitchen table. It didn’t take long before demand for their encapsulated herbs outpaced their capacity and they decided to get serious about sharing the healing power of nature.

Exploring Herbal Traditions
In addition to encapsulating individual time-honored herbs, the Hughes partnered with herbalists and traditional practitioners to develop innovative new herbal formulas for targeted use. Many of these supplements are still with us and still popular today!
Quality Is in Our Nature
As herbal pioneers, the Hughes quickly realized that controls were needed to ensure the purity, potency and efficacy of our supplements. In 1974, just two years after founded the company, they established a robust Quality Control team and invested in cutting-edge testing equipment.
Their early efforts laid a foundation of uncompromising quality, solidifying their vision of offering only the highest quality herbal and nutritional supplements. Our commitment to quality lives on through our extensive Quality Control and Research & Development labs, industry-leading certifications and comprehensive testing.
It didn’t take long before demand for their encapsulated herbs outpaced their capacity. Wanting to maintain their high-quality standards, the Hughes invested in small-batch manufacturing equipment, and eventually their own manufacturing plant in 1976 for end-to-end control of product quality.
