Our Core Values

Our core values are the rock on which we stand, a place that doesn’t change. They are the driving force behind our mission. These core values define our company’s culture and provide guidance for all of our daily business decisions. The values that we believe make our company great are:

Customer-Focused
Employee Safety & Wellness
Information Driven
Quality and Value Oriented
Natural is Better
Honesty, Integrity and Respect

Customer-Focused As our mission states, we want to empower people to live healthier lives. Not just people in North America either. Our reach is global. We choose to partner with natural food stores, where education and service are superior. We listen carefully for their guidance, and share a common long-term vision to improve people’s health.

Employee Safety & Wellness NOW is a family-owned business and we view our employees as extended family members. We encourage long-term employment and promotions from within. The safety and well-being of employees is a vital component of our business, and we believe ‘healthier lives’ must begin with our greatest asset: healthy employees.

Information Driven Production of natural products is a unique and exacting science that requires constant attention to detail. We do not make just any product. We exhaustively research product details such as assays, specs, safety and clinical data as we aim to continually improve what we do.

Quality and Value Oriented We believe that excellent quality and exceptional value can co-exist. As a fiscally-responsible company focused on products and quality over profits and quantity, we’ve been able to incorporate these important values into our products because that is essential to our mission.

Natural is Better NOW Foods was founded on the belief that natural is better. We’re committed to sourcing the very best natural ingredients for our products, and we choose non-GMO, non-irradiated, and organic ingredients whenever possible. “Natural” is not an idle word to us. It’s why our business exists and thrives.

Honesty, Integrity and Respect NOW operates under the tenet of The Golden Rule – “do unto others as you would have them do unto you.” We conduct business with this overriding principle in mind, and we believe that every customer, vendor and employee deserves to be treated fairly, honestly, and respectfully. Everything we do would be for naught if we fail to follow this universal belief. As an outcome, we believe we have a responsibility to share our resources with those in need and we reduce waste, conserve energy, and recycle as part of being socially responsible.

NOW is still family owned as it has been from the beginning. El Richard started the company in 1968 and the entire family has contributed to the success of NOW.

Celebrating over 40 Years of Empowering Healthier Lives

In 1968, NOW Foods was founded under the belief that good health was not a luxury available only to the wealthy. For the past forty years, we have made it our life's work to offer health food and nutritional supplements of the highest quality, at prices that are fair and affordable to all those who seek them.

Today, NOW Foods is one of the top-selling brands in health foods stores, an award-winning manufacturer, a respected advocate of the natural product industry, and a leader in the fields of nutritional science and methods development. And while we have grown considerably over the past four decades, one thing has never changed – our commitment to providing products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.
