The Only Museum Documenting the Classic Advertising And Products Created During The First Half Century of the Dietary Supplement Industry
As exciting as the concept of Artificial Intelligence is to our world today, so it was one hundred years ago when the discovery of "Vita-Amines" (Life-Proteins) came on the scene. Eventually found not to contain amino acids, the "e" was dropped in favor of the word we use today, Vitamins. These unseen, mysterious substances of food held the promise to cure diseases, add to longevity, and give that extra "pep" so many needed then. Originally produced by pharmaceutical companies, vitamins were originally only available at the local drug store. Today the annual $164 Billion industry spans the globe. The International Museum of Supplement History is the documentation of the classic advertising and products created during the first half century of the industry.
