Puritan.com Online vitamins at bottom line pricesPuritan's Pride had its beginnings over 40 years ago, when Arthur Rudolph, a pioneer in the vitamin business, had a vision to offer the finest quality products at the best value. To turn his vision into reality, he offered the products that he manufactured direct to the health-conscious public through the mail. In the pages of the Puritan catalog, customers found value and variety like they had never seen before. From the convenience of their own homes, shoppers enjoyed and still enjoy huge savings by buying direct from the manufacturer. Today, even though the pages of the catalog are now electronic, Puritan's Pride remains true to its original commitment of providing the best for less. Thanks to the trust and continued loyalty of our over six million customers, Puritan's Pride is the #1 way to shop at home for vitamins. Puritan's Pride is headquartered in Long Island and manufactures over 1,000 high quality vitamins, minerals, herbs and other nutritional supplements in our own state-of-the-art facilities. The manufacturing facilities total over one million square feet and we produce supplements in every available form, including tablets, two-piece capsules, softgels, powders and liquids. In the last five years alone, Puritan's Pride's has invested over $130 million in the manufacturing and quality control infrastructure of the company. These investments have also enabled Puritan's Pride to meet the ever-increasing demand for our products. Each month, we produce 1.2 billion tablets, 500 million capsules and 450 million softgels - and we package over 14 million bottles! Our commitment to quality is not only evident in where we manufacture our products but also in the way we do it and the ingredients we use. In many ways, Puritan's Pride has set the standard for high quality vitamin manufacturing. The scientists and researchers in our laboratories have worked closely with state and federal agencies, including the FDA and the U.S. Pharmacopeia (USP), to establish many of the test procedures that ensure the potency, stability and purity of our products. Puritan's Pride also manufactures products under very stringent GMPs (Good Manufacturing Standards) - a distinction that few vitamin companies can claim. As part of our commitment to quality, Puritan's Pride uses its global resources to identify and acquire the most bio-active nutritional ingredients. To provide a fast and convenient way to shop at home for vitamins, Puritan's Pride operates one of the most sophisticated and efficient automated fulfillment systems in the business. Each day, the automated fulfillment system, which was designed, in part, by our own engineers, picks over 100,000 products and ships them to over 15,000 households. |
