Swanson started in 1969 in the US heartland of Fargo, North Dakota. Back then, it was just one man looking to lessen his joint pain when playing a round of golf. Though the firm’s beginnings are humble, its journey thus far has been anything but. That one man soon set off on a journey into the world of natural supplements, vitamins and health research.

In 2019, Swanson was excited to celebrate fifty years of service along with a product range that has grown exponentially since those early days. Back in 1969, the firm began simply with vitamin E products to help nourish healthy joints. It was not until the 1970s, after the company has been established for a period of time, that it then went on to expand its product offerings to include more than one hundred other supplements and healthy products. By the end of the decade in 1979, Swanson had garnered itself a customer base that boasted more than thirty thousand individuals at any given time. The success would continue to grow for Swanson as the 1980s and 1990s progressed. At the dawn of the former decade, the company was able to open its first office and retail store with just ten employees in Fargo, North Dakota. From there, Mr Leland Swanson’s sons took over the business in 1982 and set out to transform it into a global organization.
