Ownership
Never acquired. No PE sponsor or outside parent found. eSupplements LLC holds the trademark (USPTO Reg. 5333879) and is the named defendant in both class actions. Affiliates Nutricost Manufacturing LLC and Nutricost Fulfillment LLC under common control.
Why Watchlist
Genuinely vertically integrated behind an NSF-455-2-registered plant it owns, which is a different mechanism from a marketing brand buying off a co-packer's catalogue. But it publishes no lot-level certificates of analysis, holds no product-level third-party certification, and settled a $1,835,000 potency-mislabelling case on one of its most-bought SKUs.
