This is Chris Redgrave for Zions Bank Speaking on Business.
It used to be that simply eating right and getting enough exercise would keep you healthy. But today's consumer is more educated and lives a fast, and often, on-the-go, lifestyle so they may not be getting all their nutritional needs met. That's probably why more than half of the adults in the United States take health supplements on a daily basis.
This is an increase from 42 percent in 1988 and has fueled the growth of the supplement industry to $61 billion. Utah is home to some major players in this valuable industry including High Energy Labs in Heber City, which is the top producer of anti aging and sports nutrition products.
Company president and founder Mark Webb says High Energy Labs researches, manufactures and develops high quality nutritional supplements. Because they use only the most potent of ingredients in clinical doses, customers usually start seeing results within five days.
How about their SomaRest product? This is a sleep formula that works as well as prescription-strength pills but won't leave you groggy in the morning. It just helps you relax so you can sleep through the night. The HGH Complete is their top-selling product. It fights aging by boosting the recovery and restoration process in the pituitary gland, which slows the older you get. High Energy Labs is also the only company to offer a product with Branch Chain Amino Acids that help you digest protein.
Mark enjoys developing new formulas because it helps people achieve their nutritional goals so they can live longer and healthier lives. With the rising cost of health care, many people are searching for ways to stay healthy so they won't miss work or have to pay for costly doctor visits. Health supplements can be a great way to do so.
As for the future of High Energy Labs, Mark says his Heber company is poised to experience 100 percent growth this year as compared to last. The challenge now is to secure funding so he can continue developing effective new nutritional supplements.
