As Nutrilite continues to grow in sales, infrastructure, and expertise today, it focuses on researching plant-based nutrients also known as phytonutrients.

“Carl was truly way ahead of his time. His vision and passion led to such an innovative solution — preserving these phytonutrients so that each one of us can easily fill the nutrition gaps in our diets when we don’t eat enough fruits and vegetables. Life has changed a lot since 1934. Most of us are busier with less time to eat right, making Nutrilite more relevant today than ever before,” said Kanan Banerjee, Amway vice president for global branding in nutrition and wellness.

Nutrilite 80th Anniversary

As part of their 80th anniversary celebrations, Amway and the Nutrilite Health Institute are releasing the 2014 Nutrilite Global Phytonutrient Report which examines global fruit and vegetable intake and availability, and the potential implications on health.

One particular startling revelation in the report is the gap between the amount of fruits and vegetables recommended by the World Health Organization and what people actually eat. This can be caused by busy schedules, limited access to any or a variety of fresh produce, as well as personal taste preferences.

Nutrilite hopes to address these issues through its research.
