Omega-3 fatty acid (Alpha-linolenic acid) is an essential fatty acid
that plays an important role in brain function and may aid in the

The NOW® mission is - To provide value in products and services that empower people to lead healthier lives.
In 1948, with the natural food and supplement industry in its
infancy, entrepreneur Paul Richard paid $900 for the purchase of Fearn
Soya Foods—a Chicago based manufacturer of grain and legume-based
products. This began a six-decade legacy of providing health-seeking
consumers with high-quality, affordable nutrition products.
NOW is still family owned as it has been from the beginning. El Richard
started the company in 1968 and the entire family has contributed to the
success of NOW.
