Many nutritional supplement companies today claim to be based in science, yet few define what that really means. Quality of Life Labs has a very simple, yet exacting, scientific standard: 100 percent of the ingredients used in its formulas are backed by human clinical studies and are delivered in doses consistent with the supporting research.

In practical application, this means that even if an ingredient has great supporting test tube and animal studies, Quality of Life will not use it unless it has also been the subject of positive human clinical research. Why? Many times ingredients that perform well in a laboratory setting do not hold up under the scrutiny of human clinical studies. Being dedicated to making products that work means being dedicated to human clinical research—no ifs, ands or buts.

Quality of Life Company History

In 1977, Steve Yamada founded Maypro as a distributor of top-quality nutraceuticals and fine chemicals to the United States. Over the years, Maypro introduced many of today’s specialty blockbuster ingredients—such as CoQ10, glucosamine, chondroitin and alpha lipoic acid—to the American marketplace.

Kinoko 750 100ccIn the late 1990s, Yamada became particularly excited by AHCC, a hybridized medicinal mushroom extract backed by dozens of studies published in peer-reviewed journals. At the time, however, few companies were willing to risk launching a brand-new, proprietary product that consumers had never heard of.

In 1998, Yamada established Quality of Life Labs to provide American consumers with access to AHCC and other life-changing nutraceutical ingredients. For 15 years, Quality of Life has been the leader in bringing clinically backed ingredients from all over the world in finished product form to the U.S. market. Even though today Quality of Life operates as an independent company, its relationship with Maypro provides it access to unique, proprietary and science-backed ingredients.

For 25 years, Bluebonnet has created supplements as close to nature as possible. Today, Bluebonnet has more farm-to-table, whole food and whole food-based products – with sustainable USDA Organic ingredients – than ever. Many are allergen-free and KOF-K kosher certified. And with the growing demand for products without genetically modified organisms (GMOs), many are made with non-GMO ingredients whenever they are available. In fact, all Bluebonnet products with the USDA Organic seal are also non-GMO based on the requirements of that seal. However, for those products that aren’t USDA Organic, Bluebonnet has established an internal non-GMO standard. This rigorous verification process scrutinizes the origins of both dietary and other ingredients and in every formula. The “Made with NON-GMO Ingredients” symbol on
the bottle is our guarantee that those Bluebonnet supplements are derived from sources that have never been genetically modified through the use of modern biotechnology.

Life isn’t about facts and figures. It’s about good health. Strong relationships. Moments that take our breath away. It’s that inner power that gives life true meaning.

Since 1991, Bluebonnet has found inner power in the best that nature and science have to offer – uniting them in a way that is innovative, honest, and sustainable.
