Vytalogy logoLos Angeles, CA (January 11, 2022) – Today, Natrol and Jarrow Formulas, two leading vitamin and supplement brands, officially came together as a new company, Vytalogy Wellness (Vytalogy). Natrol and Jarrow Formulas will still be the names of the products consumers have come to know and love. However, our new corporate name Vytalogy, which stands for the science of vitality, better represents the company’s commitment to bringing energy and wellness to consumers’ lives.

“We are excited to begin a new chapter as Vytalogy Wellness. While our name has changed, our commitment to our amazing customers, brands and products has not. We remain passionate about being the choice for our consumers every day and night,” said Nina Barton, Chief Executive Officer, Vytalogy. “Fueled by our drive for invention and a commitment to the highest standards, we look forward to leading the way for modern wellness in the vitamin, minerals and supplement category.”

Vytalogy strives to bring a vibrant energy to life every day. Its mission is to be a modern wellness company that fuses science and quality ingredients into highly-efficacious products that make a transformative impact on consumers’ lives. By pushing the limits of what’s expected and relentlessly pursuing innovation, the company is laser-focused on exceeding expectations. It creates vitamins, minerals and supplements that respond to consumers’ demands of today, while anticipating their needs of tomorrow.

“We’re thrilled to bring these two incredible brands together as Vytalogy Wellness,” said Peter Luther, Executive Chairman, Vytalogy. “Natrol and Jarrow Formulas have individually cultivated large and loyal consumer followings by providing efficacious, high quality supplements for decades. Together, they are even better positioned to set the course for modern wellness.”

“We see a bright future for Natrol and Jarrow Formulas under the Vytalogy Wellness corporate name, and we look forward to continuing to work with Nina and her team to build upon the company’s strong momentum,” said Andre Moura, Managing Director, New Mountain Capital and Lead Director, Vytalogy. “This is an exciting time for Vytalogy, and we see many opportunities to keep investing to serve the needs of our consumers.”

Vytalogy has a strong foundation from which to build. Both brands, Natrol and Jarrow Formulas, have been helping consumers achieve their wellness goals for a combined 85 years. Recognized as trusted, long-standing leaders in the vitamin and supplement industry, Natrol is the No. 1 drug-free sleep aid brand in America and Jarrow Formulas is the No. 1 probiotic brand for customer satisfaction, according to ConsumerLab.com’s Survey of Supplement Users for 2021.

Masks Now Required at All Natrol Facilities

Dear Valued Distributors,

Natrol Face Masks Required BlogFirst, Natrol wishes everyone stay healthy in these difficult and unprecedented times, and that you take the maximum protections to keep your family and loved ones safe.

The COVID-19 worldwide situation is going to be with us for a long time, so we need to understand the implications, and make preventative behavioral changes now to protect ourselves.

In the short term, it will change the way we interact in public, socially with friends, at school, religious and other large gatherings in close proximity, how we travel, and at work. Because there is no vaccine and no specific proven treatments or cure, it is very important to limit the spread by practicing the following:

  • Extreme hygiene, washing hands frequently, disinfecting objects touched frequently, not touching the face/nose/eyes with unwashed hands
  • Social distancing of at least 6 feet/2 meters in most situation, and 12 feet/4 meters when exercising with others nearby
  • Staying in shelter as much as possible, in order to not spread COVID-19 if you have it, or not get it from others who do not show symptoms but can spread it
  • Wear a mask or other face covering when outside the house or with others!

Therefore, in addition to the first three practices, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY, Natrol has issued masks to all employees. All employees are now required to wear masks at all times when in our facilities.

California “Safer at Home” Order

Dear Valued Distributors,

On 3/19/20, the state of California issued the “Safer-at-Home” order in response to the continuing developments of the COVID-19 pandemic. Excluded from this order are Essential Workforce businesses. Natrol LLC is considered an Essential Workforce business, as defined by the Department of Homeland Security and CISA.

Therefore, we will continue operating with added scrutiny on cleanliness, hygiene and social distancing.

As we have recently communicated, Natrol has taken proactive steps to keep our supply chain stable and agile. Prior to the coronavirus outbreak in Europe, we increased our safety stocks of raw materials and are actively communicating with our suppliers to determine supply risks based on origins and market availability. Further, we have ramped up production of our high demand products and have doubled our safety stock levels to ensure continued flow of goods with “best in class” service levels. More…
