NeoCell

NeoCell is a natural product company based in Irvine, California, with a number of products designed to promote health, beauty and wellness.

The company was established in 1998 by Al Quadri after he suffered a heart attack and underwent a triple bypass surgery. Quadri's recovery was slow and he suffered atrophy in his muscles, a sore chest and a loss of overall vitality. He added collagen to his recovery regimen on the theory that the structural protein plays a key role in fortifying and reconstructing depleted muscle and restoring connective tissue. Within a few weeks his health had improved dramatically. After his recovery, Quadri set out to understand how collagen had stimulated his own regenerative systems and helped him during his recovery. His research became his life's work and he founded NeoCell with the goal of creating and promoting collagen products that could help others the same way that they helped him.

NeoCell's manufacturing plant is a Natural Products Association GMP certified facility. This certification is awarded to companies that meet a high level of compliance to industry standards as verified through comprehensive third-party inspections of facilities and GMP-related documentation.

NeoCell products are packaged in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic bottles. In 2012, the company received an award from the Responsible Packaging Project for its switch to 100% PCR plastic, which generates fewer greenhouse gases, reduces reliance on petrochemicals, and keeps plastic out of landfills and oceans.

NeoCell products have received several awards, including:

NeoCell Keratin Hair Volumizer and Beauty Bursts were both finalists in the VIRGO SupplySide Editor's Choice Awards in 2013.

NeoCell has partnered with the nonprofit group Vitamin Angels to help provide children around the world with life-saving and life-changing vitamins and minerals. For several months during the fall, NeoCell has donated 25 cents to Vitamin Angels for every product sold. In 2013, NeoCell raised $320,000 — enough money to help more than 1.2 million children.

Twinlab

Twinlab Corporation

Twinlab Corporation is an American company which manufactures and markets vitamins, minerals, and bodybuilding supplements. Twinlab is based in Hauppauge, New York with manufacturing facilities in Utah.

Twinlab currently produces more than 500 different products.

Twinlab was founded by David and Jean Blechman in 1968 and run by them and their sons – Neil, Brian, Ross, Steve and Dean. Using experience gained from over 20 years as a pharmaceutical salesman, David Blechman named the company for his two sets of twins and started marketing a liquid protein supplement from their family garage. Sales of Twinlab's only product skyrocketed in the 1970s, in part from the success of a 1976 book entitled The Last Chance Diet--When Everything Else Has Failed: Dr. Linn's Protein-Sparing Fast Program. Dr. Robert Linn was a Pennsylvania osteopath, who had begun prescribing for his overweight patients a program of fasting and four- to six-ounce daily doses of liquid protein. His book sold extremely well, and Dr. Linn's diet became the latest weight-loss fad diet. This led to increased sales for Twinlab's liquid protein. As with many fad diets, the fasting/liquid protein craze came to a halt when in late 1976 and early 1977 there were reports of the deaths of 58 people who had followed Linn's diet.

Following a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) investigation the associated coverage of the popular diet and its potential side effects by Newsweek, Parents' Magazine, and Science Digest, the liquid protein market bottomed out, and Twinlab's revenues declined sharply forcing the company to cut nearly all of its 150 person workforce.

In the 1980s Twinlab branched out formulating new vitamin and nutritional supplements and purchased a publishing company called Advanced Research Press, Inc. (ARP) publishers of the bodybuilding magazine Muscular Development and several other magazines.

David Blechman retired in 1996, and passed the title of CEO to his son Ross, while the other sons were installed as corporate officers. He died on July 7, 2000. In 2001 Twinlab sold ARP to Steve Blechman who then resigned from Twinlab.

Young Living

Young Living is a Lehi, Utah based company which uses multi-level marketing to sell essential oils and other related products. The company was founded in 1993 by Donald Gary Young.

Young Living is a multi-level marketing company; i.e. the company recruits "thousands of independent distributors who can sell directly to customers and earn commissions on sales to distributors recruited into a hierarchical network called 'downlines'."

In August 2013, Young Living filed suit against doTerra for theft of trade secrets, alleging that the company had recreated their production process illegally. Chemist Robert Pappas, who has spoken at the conventions of doTerra, has said the oils, which were tested by the Centre national de la recherche scientifique, did not apparently match any oils sold by doTerra. Additionally, Pappas has given a court deposition saying that Young Living utilized synthetic chemicals in some of their organic products.

In September 2014, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration warned Young Living against marketing its products as possible treatments or cures for Ebola. The letter named specific essential oil products, such as, but not limited to, "Thieves," "Cinnamon Bark," "Oregano," "ImmuPower," "Rosemary," "Myrtle," "Sandalwood," "Eucalyptus Blue," "Peppermint," "Ylang Ylang," "Frankincense," and "Orange," are said that they were being promoted for conditions that cause them to be drugs under section 201(g)(1)(B) of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (the Act) [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(1)(B)], because they are intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease.
