Founders John & Susan Carlson

Carlson Laboratories

For more than 50 years, Carlson Labs has been recognized as an innovator and leading educator in the field of high-quality nutritional supplements. As one of the first supplement companies to discover the value of all-natural vitamin E, we opened our doors in 1965 to offer the most complete line of natural-source vitamin E in the world. In 1982, we began educating retailers and consumers about the health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids and were one of the first companies to introduce cod liver oil and fish oil to the U.S. market. In 2009, we launched one of the first calamari oil products. Today, we're proud to offer more than 200 vitamins, minerals, fish oils, and other supplements designed with your family's unique nutritional needs in mind. 

A History of Education

Since 1965, Carlson has been a leader in training and education. John and Susan stayed up-to-date with the latest research and advancements and shared their findings with the nutritional supplement industry. John published a regular newsletter to help educate consumers and natural food stores about the latest studies, which his daughters, Carilyn Anderson and Kirsten Carlson, still release semi-annually. Carlson also sponsors and hosts many lectures and trainings throughout the year to educate the many retailers selling our products. And now, we've made our trainings even more accessible.
