Solaray® began manufacturing and selling herbal products in 1973, originally as a pioneer in formulating and marketing blended herbal products that contain two or more herbs with complementary effects. From its inception, Solaray focused on encapsulated products which offer rapid disintegration and are easy to swallow and has sold its products through independent sales representatives to the Healthy Foods Channel. By 1984, Solaray had become a full line manufacturer, carrying not only herbs, but also a full line of vitamins and minerals.

Recently, Solaray® began to formulate and market soy products, including soy protein energy meals under the Soytein® mark. Solaray® has become one of the most popular and well-known brands of nutritional supplements in the Healthy Foods Channel and has developed a reputation for quality, consistency and innovation.

Three of the most popular products developed by Solaray® include:

• Spectro®, considered by many to be the premier multivitamin/mineral supplement.
  
  
• CranActin®, which the Company believes is one of the best-selling cranberry supplements in the Healthy Foods Channel.
  
  
• Pygeum/Saw Palmetto, two ingredients intended to provide nutritive support to maintain a healthy prostate.
