About CARLSON
Carlson Labs stands as a testament to the vision of its founder, Susan Carlson, who began the company in her small Chicago apartment in 1965. Today, it has flourished into a renowned brand offering over 300 nutritional supplements, including vitamins, minerals, and omega-3s. The company prides itself on being family-owned and female-led, with Susan's daughters at the helm.
With a commitment to quality that has persisted since its inception, Carlson Labs was instrumental in introducing omega-3 supplements to North America in the early 1980s. Their dedication to sustainability is evident in their eco-friendly practices, such as achieving a net-zero plastic footprint for every product sold and actively participating in plastic waste removal from global waterways.
The brand's accolades include numerous awards for the freshness, potency, and purity of their products, which are rigorously tested by an FDA-registered laboratory. Carlson Labs continues to innovate, staying abreast of scientific research to offer the latest in nutritional supplementation.
