BASIC RESEARCH

Our Mission

To support people in living their happiest, healthiest lives. We make this possible by bringing science to life through the creation of exceptional products that are backed by real science and real results.

Bringing science to life.

Our products are scientifically developed through results-driven research and formulated with the finest ingredients.
We meticulously research and vigorously test. We rely on our scientists and a team of third-party medical advisors.
Beauty, science, health, and wellness are interdependent. We use a holistic inside-outside approach to develop supplements and topicals.

From healthy aging, beauty, and men’s health to high energy, weight loss, and stress mitigation, our products provide science-backed solutions. Our goal is to give people everywhere the support they need to keep making a difference and living life on their terms.

When it comes to our customers, we know that honest and truthful communication is always key – we strive for honest, thoughtful one-on-one messaging designed to help spread our message and improve individuals’ lives.

OUR JOURNEY

We've come so far yet only just begun

1992

BR founded

Three partners decided to revolutionize the supplement and cosmetic industries, focusing on real science and research. They started in Draper, Utah with 10 employees, but with big dreams to positively impact people’s quality of life.
1996

Launched first product

Development of the first “true” ECA stack based on studies at Harvard University contributed to the launch of our first product, ThermoGenics Plus. It was sold to independent channels, including health food stores.
1998

Broadened product offering

We conducted rigorous research on a propriety blend to support the thyroid and launched Thyro Support (later named ThyroStart). It quickly became our #1-selling product. Thanks to its success, we opened a call center for direct-to-consumer selling to keep up with customer demand.
2002

Revolutionized the skincare industry

Created StriVectin®-SD, the “stretch-mark cream turned anti-wrinkle phenomenon.” It was a blockbuster success and BR's first product to go international.
2002

Outgrew our headquarters

By 2002, our business had outgrown our offices in Provo, Utah. We moved to our current facility in Salt Lake City, a 250,000 square foot building with plenty of room to accommodate our expanding needs, including room for our rapidly growing in-house call center, product inventory, and shipping department.
2003

America's #1 “Belly Fat” pill

Originally developed as a stress-reducing “feel good pill,” our Relacore® EXTRA supplement soared in popularity as the link between stress and belly fat gained media attention.
2003

Launched the wildly popular non-ephedra “diet pill with a kick”

Launched Zantrex-3, one of the most powerful non-ephedra diet pills on the market, under the company name Zoller Laboratories. It supported both rapid weight loss and increased energy—and showed more than 2x more weight loss than one of the industry's leading diet pills.
2005

First non-traditional sponsor of NHRA

We put an innovative twist on marketing with a unique sponsorship of the National Hot Rod Association (NHRA). Top fuel racing is all about energy and rapid results, so it was the perfect advertising venue for Zantrex-3.
2007

Targeted skincare solutions

From the success of StriVectin, we created Bremenn Research Labs, a unique skincare brand with proven results for people seeking various skin and body care solutions.
2012

Lead the hGH revolution

BR ushered in the human growth hormone (hGH) revolution with the hGH-boosting formula, SeroVital®-hgh. SeroVital-hgh created a new category in the marketplace and has sold over 4 million boxes since launch.
2015

An Energy Innovator

To show our commitment to sustainability, we installed 4,700 solar panels to our company HQ. This allows us to generate approximately 1.4 megawatts of non-polluting solar energy and increased our Energy Star rating. We are proud to have received an Energy Innovator Award from the Salt Lake City Mayor's Office for these efforts.
2018

Nutrition Business Journal’s Top 50 US Dietary Supplement Companies

BR was recognized by the Nutrition Business Journal as one of the Top 50 US Dietary Supplement Companies by Supplement Sales.
2018

Added Celebrity Trainer Kim Lyons to Our Team

“I’m such a believer that these products truly can change your quality of life. I have come to appreciate the science and the clinicals that back SeroVital, and I’m thrilled to be able to partner with this brand.” – Kim Lyons
2021

Launched SeroVital Beauty™ Skincare

This skincare collection is designed to work from the outside, complementing the benefits of our supplements. These potent products are designed to address the top skin concerns women face and offer results without harshness.
2022

Earned NSF GMP Certification

We earned NSF Dietary Supplement Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) Certification – an independent certification from global public health organization NSF demonstrating our commitment to quality and compliance with U.S. GMP requirements.
