our founder

Dr. L. J. Hanson graduated from the University of Wisconsin and the University of Illinois and obtained a Phd in nutrition, physiology, and biochemistry. Hanson was a pioneer in the probiotic industry.

He launched a joint venture with a Swedish company in 1984 to produce a beneficial bacteria now known as probiotics for use in the agriculture and livestock industries. In the early days, he was instrumental in doing research at various universities to prove the importance of micro-organisms in the area of fermentation, and as a potential replacement for antibiotics in livestock rations.

Dr. Hanson served on many industry committees to help educate state control officials and federal regulators regarding these products. Hanson has had an enduring interest in how beneficial these products can be in human applications. He has personally benefited from the daily addition of probiotics in his routine.

Dr. Hanson is successfully maintaining a wonderful, active, healthy life while living with cancer of the bone marrow, at the seasoned age of 90, Dr. Hanson is excited to present this product with the timely addition of an immune boosting component to the general public. He hopes to help educate people on the benefits that can be derived by supplementing their immune systems with probiotics and nutritional ingredients.
