Global Leader in the $60 Billion Supplement Industry Opens Center for Optimal Health

BUENA PARK, Calif., May 3 /PRNewswire/ -- The Nutrilite Health Institute (NHI), a global leader in plant-based nutrition, today announced the grand opening of its Center for Optimal Health, a nutrition and health education center offering the latest in personalized health and preventative care.

Each year, tens of thousands of consumers (most of whom also sell NUTRILITE(TM) products) will come to the Nutrilite Health Institute Center for Optimal Health and its affiliate brand centers located around the world for a personalized, experiential and comprehensive health assessment and educational opportunity. Visitors can meet with medical and fitness experts, undergo a series of blood work and other tests, and receive a tailored nutrition and fitness plan to reach their optimal health goals. Many will also receive an evaluation of their genetic predisposition to certain health conditions. Through its groundbreaking work at the Center, the Nutrilite Health Institute seeks to increase consumer understanding about how they can achieve optimal health, through nutrition, fitness, and supplementation.

"We've seen a 120-percent growth over the past five years from $1.22 billion in sales to $2.7 billion in 2005 sales," explained Dr. Sam Rehnborg, president of Nutrilite Health Institute. "In the supplement industry, Nutrilite is the only company backed by 70 years of pioneering research, an impressive roster of experts, and now, a state-of-the-art research and education Center for Optimal Health."

The Center for Optimal Health will also serve as the Nutrilite Health Institute international headquarters for a worldwide collaboration of more than 100 dedicated scientists, researchers, exercise physiologists and educators dedicated to health and nutrition research. The Nutrilite Health Institute pursues many different kinds of research programs, often collaborating with leading scientific institutions around the world -- from Stanford University* Prevention Research Center, Stanford, California, USA to Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea -- to develop the rapidly emerging field of phytonutrient science.

"The NHI Center for Optimal Health leverages all of our peer-reviewed research and clinical testing to educate and empower consumers," said Audra Davies, manager of supplement product development. "The Center represents the best of nature and the best of science, much like our supplements."

Representing more than $10 million in capital investment, the 33,000 square-foot health assessment center includes a theater and an interactive exhibit on optimal health, nutrition and the stories behind the NUTRILITE brand. General tours are available Monday through Thursday at 9:00 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and by special appointment.
