Vitamin supply chain

Random notes trying to figure out the vitamin and supplement supply chain business... Note to my mom and anyone else who might be looking at or editing this: The red links we have no info on, the purple and blue links that don't look like URLs (ie: MannaTech) are internal to this site and contain more information as we find it.

MannaTech uses New Era and Carrington

Nutraceutical International owns a ton of brands.

Natrol is a contract manufacturer with its own brands

Douglas Labs is a contract manufacturer with its own brands

From http://www.encyclopedia.com/doc/1G1-19929390.html GNC's DHA-0mega-3 is from Monsanto

From http://esignal.brand.edgar-online.com/EFX_dll/EDGARpro.dll?FetchFilingOrig1?SessionID=U97JWQPyM2GLQCB&ID=5083753 Forbes Medi Tech is a contract manufacturer of products containing Reducol for Designs For Health

Designs For Health also uses National Enzyme Company, from the Google summary of http://www.rockwellnutrition.com/Digestzymes-by-Designs-For-Health-DFH_p_0-876.html although I can't find that relationship on the actual page as I see it right now.
