History
In 1971, Pharmavite was founded in Los Angeles, California by entrepreneur Henry Burdick and pharmacist Barry Pressman, who felt “there was a better alternative to long term health than prescription drugs”.[2] Its brand Nature Made was also founded that year.
In 1981, Pharmavite joined the Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN). Otsuka Pharmaceutical acquired Pharmavite in 1989. Pharmaite acquired Uqora, a urinary tract health brand offering health supplements and UTI symptom relief products, and expanded its Women’s Health Business Unit in 2021.
In 2022, Pharmavite launched Nature Made Wellblends, a line of scientifically-designed blends that target sleep, stress & immune health needs.
