About Country Life

A legacy grounded in what matters.

A legacy in supplements shaped by decades of real experience. Country Life stays grounded in truth and rooted to last. Our integrity exceeds the wellness standards of today with thoughtful formulations, rigorous testing you can trust, and certifications that matter. Call us the wellness icon you’ve known all along, minus the ego.

Our Story

Country Life was founded in 1971 with a clear purpose: to create high-quality dietary supplements people could trust. At a time when vitamins and supplements were largely unregulated, our founders believed consumers deserved transparency, clean ingredients, and honest labeling.

That belief became the foundation of our brand, and it still guides us today. For more than 50 years, we’ve remained committed to crafting supplements rooted in science, manufactured with care, and designed to support real wellness, not trends.
