With healthcare expenses and despite rising unemployment, the vitamin industry is seeing significant growth. Code Nutrition, a leader in personalized, high quality nutritional supplements, is helping people cut health care costs while maintaining or improving their health, by providing supplements based on personalized genetic testing and lifestyle information.

An increasing number of people today are unemployed and are without health insurance. As a result, more people are conscious about taking vitamins as a way to maintain health and avoid costly doctor's visits. Vitamin sales grew 8% in 2008 compared to 2007, according to Information Resources Inc., a market research company in Chicago. Vitamin stores have also noticed a 20% increase in customers in the last six months.

"At Code Nutrition, we are seeing customers who are dedicated to their health, and who may be spending less on healthcare than in other areas. Our customized vitamins can help support good health and can assist families to save on medical expenses, especially for those who are extra health conscious because of rising healthcare costs in today's economy," stated Code Nutrition's Chief Scientist Dr. David J. Bearss, Ph.D.
