Pioneering Natural Ingredients for 90 Years
Marshall L. Brewster had one mission. Enable everyone to live their healthiest lives through natural ingredients. A novel idea for the early 20th century and the genesis of Ingredients By Nature. As a third-generation family owned business, I am proud to follow in my grandfather’s and father’s footsteps and continue to realize their mission. As we celebrate our 90th anniversary, take a stroll down memory lane and learn more about our history.

Ingredients By Nature
Making a Difference Since 1932
1932
Rooted in Science
Started as Test Laboratories, the company was initially formed as a research and development organization dedicated to identifying vital nutrients with maximum impact on health.
1950
A World Leader in Citrus Science is Born
With full ownership of the company, Marshall L. Brewster changed the name of the company to Brewster Nutrition and became among the first organizations to deliver citrus bioflavonoid ingredient formulations.
1972
Talking Probiotics Long Before Jamie Lee Curtis
Established as a leader in citrus-derived raw materials, Brewster Nutrition had its eye on pioneering another category - probiotics. Leveraging cutting-edge freeze-drying technology, Brewster Nutrition was one of the first to offer revolutionary freeze-dried probiotic cultures.
1995
Partnership with Syntech International
To realize the mission of Marshall L. Brewster, Brewster Nutrition partnered with Syntech International, a well known expert in citrus extraction, to conduct clinical research on citrus-derived ingredients and continue to bring to light the impact of citrus bioflavonoids on overall human health.
2007
New Name. Same Mission.
As Brewster Nutrition expanded beyond citrus and probiotic ingredients, Syntech and Brewster Nutrition renamed the company to Ingredients By Nature to better align with Marshall L. Brewster’s original mission - Enable everyone to live their healthiest lives through natural ingredients.
2022
90 Years Young
2022 marks the 90th anniversary since the birth of this company and 15 years since we have been known as Ingredients By Nature. And there are no signs of slowing down. With the launch of new clinically-backed branded ingredients such as Eriomin® and Sytrinol®, we can’t wait to find impactfully ways to help humans (and animals) have access to proper nutrition and live healthier lives.
