1971

Founded in 1971 by two young entrepreneurs, the company introduced its Nature Made vitamin line the following year.

1989

After being acquired by Otsuka Pharmaceutical Company, Ltd., in 1989, Pharmavite had the backing of a major corporation, which afforded it the resources to grow further.

1994

After much heated debate, the United States Congress passed a law in October 1994 that granted makers of dietary supplements greater freedom to make claims about their products' health benefits.

1997

Hume, Scott. "Burnett Lands Vitamin Client." Adweek, May 26, 1997.

Each spot claimed that Nature Made supplements were "recommended by pharmacists more than a thousand times everyday." Although the campaign did well, Pharmavite opted to change ad agencies in 1997, and it teamed up with Leo Burnett in an effort to bolster its national consumer advertising presence.

Warner-Lambert launched its Hails Zinc Defense in 1997 and backed it with a substantial marketing effort featuring actress Lauren Hutton.
