          Company History

          Since 1992, Nutramax Laboratories has developed products for people and their pets. Located in Lancaster, South Carolina, Nutramax researches, develops, and manufactures high quality products to support human health and animal health.

          The Nutramax Family of Companies has become an industry leader in setting and adhering to high standards in manufacturing and quality control. We continually conduct and support laboratory research and clinical studies on our products. Many of these studies have been published and/or presented in medical, veterinary and other health-related journals and publications. We believe our real strength and prosperity comes from the Lord. He has blessed our company and the talented group of employees who work together as a team.

          Our Core Values

          For over 30 years, our core values have served as a foundation to guide our decision making, shape our culture, and reflect our purpose. The order of each core value is purposefully structured:

           

          To Glorify God

          Glorifying God means recognizing and honoring God in all that we do.

          We glorify God by conducting business in a manner that is consistent with biblical principles and treating others the way we want to be treated ourselves – with honesty, integrity, humility, grace, and love.

          To Serve Our People

          Serving our people means cultivating a family-oriented work environment and company culture that puts the needs of our employees first. Our people are our most valuable asset, and we believe when we take care of them, all else will follow.

          When we combine the unique gifts and diverse backgrounds of our people with a culture of servant leadership, belonging, and respect, we unite around our shared mission of improving the quality of life for all, and Nutramax is at its best.

          To Support Our Community

          Supporting our community means demonstrating our love for the people around us in ways that provide a lasting impact. Whether that means treating customers like family, or supporting local and global organizations through donations, gifts, or service hours - Nutramax is here to serve.

          We’ve been called to faithfully steward the resources, abilities, and gifts that God has entrusted us with. This higher calling is why we are here to serve, and why it’s about more than just supplements for us.

          To Pursue Excellence

          Pursuing excellence means continuously striving to provide the highest quality and care in everything we do. This ongoing pursuit of excellence is how we’ve earned the trust of veterinarians, medical professionals, employees, pet parents, neighbors, and many others since 1992. Our standards go beyond those of other supplement companies.

          For Nutramax, the pursuit of excellence is an unending pursuit.

          Our QUALITY Process

          Our Brands are Backed by Science and Held to the Highest Standard

          1. The Science Behind the Quality.

          Our Translational Research Laboratory evaluates how our ingredients work at the cellular level. The team of cellular and molecular biologists assess the bioactivity of our raw materials by evaluating changes in biomarkers.

          2. The Highest Quality Ingredients.

          We source raw materials from well-vetted and approved suppliers. As materials arrive to our facility, we inspect every aspect of the delivery—the sanitary condition of the delivery truck—the condition of shipping container, and the accuracy of the materials inside. We are making every effort to ensure that our ingredients are high quality.

          3. Testing And Validation

          Incoming raw materials are inspected and sampled by our quality control team. The materials undergo analytical chemistry testing that confirms the identity, purity, and other specifications of the ingredients, as well as microbiology testing that verifies the materials meet our specifications. The data is analyzed, recorded and then validated by our chemists. The batch of specific raw material then receives a Certificate of Analysis, critical for its release to the next step: production.

          4. Manufacturing Begins With A Clean Space.

          Before the materials even enter the production space, our team has thoroughly cleaned the equipment and sanitized the room, affectionately dubbed “the bubble,” where manufacturing and packaging occurs. Production of a new batch will not begin until the cleanliness of the space and the equipment are verified by our Quality Assurance Team. Inside “the bubble,” operators are properly gowned to help safeguard our products from contamination.

          5. Produce. Test. Validate. Repeat.

          Once production begins we are ensuring quality through each step of the manufacturing process. Our Quality Assurance Team confirms that each batch begins with the proper blend lot. We confirm that only approved materials are used, and perform checks for product weight, hardness and other parameters every thirty minutes. These checks are documented, verified and reviewed by another operator and our quality assurance generalists.

          6. The Finished Product Is Tested Yet Again!

          All finished products are sampled and tested in our Chemistry and Microbiology labs, where we confirm that each batch meets our standard. No product is cleared for sale until these final tests are complete, and the results validated. We are proud of our process and are committed to quality at every stage.

          7. Packaging Standards Are No Exception.

          Our packaging lines are cleaned and verified by Quality Assurance. The labels are inspected for accuracy before application begins; it is important that the product you receive is exactly what the label says it is. Each and every bottle is checked by hand to ensure that labels are applied correctly, and that lot numbers and expiration dates are accurate and clearly visible.

          8. Our Standard Of Quality Continues.

          We perform stability testing on our products to determine the appropriate shelf life. We use state-of-the-art stability chambers that house products for up to 6 months while we conduct periodic testing to certify shelf-life expiration data. These are not required practices, these are Nutramax Laboratories practices.

          FAQs

          How long does it take to see results in my dog?

          Every dog is unique, but most owners notice a positive change in mobility and "pep in their step" within 4 to 6 weeks. For best results, we recommend starting with the "Initial Administration Period" (as directed on the label) to build up the nutrients in your dog’s system.

          Can I give Cosequin® to my puppy or younger dog?

          Absolutely! While Cosequin® is a lifesaver for seniors, it’s also excellent for proactive joint health. Starting large breeds or highly active dogs on a joint supplement early can help maintain healthy cartilage and support long-term mobility as they grow.

          What makes the MSM version different from the standard formula?

          MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is a natural sulfur compound that works alongside Glucosamine and Chondroitin. It provides extra support for joint comfort and recovery, making this specific formula ideal for dogs who need a little more help with daily stiffness or active lifestyles.

          Will my dog actually like the taste?

          Yes! These aren’t "pills"—they are tasty chewable tablets. Most dogs take them right out of your hand like a treat. If you have an exceptionally picky eater, the tablets are easy to crumble and mix directly into their favorite wet or dry food.
