Celebrating the women behind the Carlson brand. Carlson began in 1965 as one woman’s mission to improve the health of families by creating nutritional supplements with high-quality ingredients. Susan Carlson’s father suffered from heart issues but found relief after taking natural-source vitamin E. Inspired by this discovery and her background as a pharmacist, Susan started Carlson out of her small Chicago apartment with a single vitamin E formula. Her product line quickly expanded, and Carlson began popping up on store shelves around Chicago. The wave continued across the nation.
 
In the early 1980s, Carlson helped launch the omega-3 marketing in North America, importing our first high-quality, great-tasting, sustainable fish oils from Norway. Today, the commitment to helping families live a healthier lifestyle continues, as Susan’s daughters Carilyn and Kirsten continue the Carlson family’s mission to produce high-quality, science-based, competitively-priced nutritional supplements. Carlson now offers more than 200 vitamins, minerals, omega-3s, kid’s products, and other special formulas for the entire family.
