We've come so far yet only just begun
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Wellness is empowerment. It’s essential for people to live their best lives.
It’s a simple idea that has a big impact in making the world a better place.
SOURCING
We carefully select all our raw materials based on quality, potency, purity, and availability.
CLINICALLY STUDIED INGREDIENTS & FORMULATIONS
We always use safe, validated ingredients with exact formulations and potency. Our formulas have either been the subject of clinical studies or the key ingredients within the formula have been clinically studied.
CRUELTY-FREE COSMETICS
We refuse to conduct, commission, pay for, or allow tests on animals for any of our SeroVital cosmetic ingredients or finished products. We are proud that this has been independently verified via two globally recognized certifications.
PETA’s Beauty Without Bunnies
CCIC's Leaping Bunny
THIRD PARTY LAB TESTED
We care more than anything about your health and the quality of our products. Every batch of every product is independently tested for harmful heavy metals and microbes, as well as for the potency of key active ingredients so you can rest assured that when you take our products, they are both safe and effective.
GMP CERTIFIED FACILITY
Our Salt Lake City facility has received GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certification from NSF, an independent global public health organization. NSF requires adherence to strict protocols for equipment, facilities, and controls in order to receive this certification.
