Only the best phytonutrients go into NUTRILITE products
Because they are made rom plant concentrates, NUTRILITE supplements contain a wide array
o phytonutrients, the natural nutrients in plants that are benefcial to human health, setting
Nutrilite apart rom other makers o dietary supplements. While we believe you should eat whole
resh ruits and vegetables whenever possible, Nutrilite products fll in the gap between the ruits
and veggies you need and what you actually eat, with natural plant ingredients and the nutrition
that most people dont get rom their diet alone.
Because Nutrilite believes strongly in the power o phytonutrients and wants to use only the
best sources, many o the plant concentrates that go into NUTRILITE products come rom our
own arms. In act, NUTRILITE is the only global vitamin and mineral brand to grow, harvest,
and process plants on their own certifed organic arms, spread out over 6,400 acres in
Caliornia, Washington state, Mexico, and Brazil.
The best phytonutrients come rom organic arms
Why go to the trouble and expense o arming organic? Plants produce phytonutrients as
a deense mechanism against pests and disease. When crops are sprayed with chemicals
that deend the plants, they dont have to work as hard to produce phytonutrients and the
result is less nutritious produce. On the lip side, plants raised organically have abundant
amounts o higher-quality phytonutrients.
Owning and maintaining control over our own NUTRILITE arms, ensures that our supplements
contain high-quality ingredients. Our crops are grown in accordance with nature, based on the
ollowing nine principles.
1. THE FARM IS AN ORGANISM
Nutrilite balances man-made and natural eatures and ensures that each arm has the right
number and proportion o crops, animals, and plants, so that each arm works as a sel-
sustaining, living organism.
2. THE INTEGRATION AND DIVERSITY OF PLANTS AND ANIMALS
Nutrilite considers it crucial to have the right number and diversity o both the animals on the arm
and the people living on and contributing to the arm.

Divide ruits and vegetables intofve groups:Red, Orange/Yellow, Green,Blue/Purple, and White.
Eat at least one ruit or vegetablerom each color and go or variety.Despite a certain popular saying,eating more than just an apple a day try tomatoes, red peppers, strawberries,pomegranates, or radishes will provideyou with more health benefts.

3. THE PRESERVATION OF HABITATS
NUTRILITE arms require the preservation o natural ecological areas on the arms and along roads
and waterways to sustain native plant and animal species, and to limit erosion and water contamination.
4. WIDE-BASED SOIL NUTRITION
Nutrilite replenishes the soil, rather than depleting it, by maintaining it with natural materials.
We grow cover crops specifc to the nutritional needs o the soil at each arm and create compost
rom manure rom the arms livestock to urther enrich the earth.
5. NO CONTAMINATION
Nutrilite avoids the use o synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and ertilizers. We also use natural,
environmentally riendly methods to control weeds, insects, and other harmul predators.
6. SEED PRESERVATION
Nutrilite saves seeds as an environmentally sound practice and to support the economics o local
armers who do not have to purchase new seed yearly.
7. TRACEABILITY
Nutrilite records every element ever added to or taken rom the soil, to guarantee the quality
o the land and the plants grown on it. Traceability includes tracking crop rotations, to the kinds o
seeds used and when they were planted.
8. SOCIAL LIFE
Nutrilite views the arm as an organism in i tsel, and also sees the community surrounding the
arm as an extension o that organism. Nutrilite ensures that the arm will provide economic security
and sustainability or people in the community by providing adequate health-care benefts or arm
employees and education or the children in the area.
9. CONTINUAL RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
NUTRILITE arms are constantly researching new varieties and species o plants and the
technologies required to stay at the oreront o sustainable arming and nutritional products. A
commitment to continued research improves the botanicals that become NUTRILITE concentrates,
and increases the sustainability o NUTRILITE arms.

Located on 111 acres that used to be a
prehistoric lake bed, the accumulated
nutrient-rich sediment contributes to the arms
ertile topsoil. By eeding the soil with compost
and by using careully tested arming practices,
Nutrilite creates a better soil structure
supplying crops with a vast array o nutrients.
