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 the best-selling cranberry supplement in the Healthy Foods Channel, and

• Pygeum/Saw Palmetto, two ingredients intended to help maintain a healthy prostate.
