Currently, there are many products on the market designed to supplement our diets with nutrients. These products were not available when James Ingoldsby began introducing vitamin supplements to the public in the late 1930's. Heralded the "founding father of the vitamin industry," Ingoldsby introduced the first 100 milligram Vitamin C tablet to enter the American marketplace in 1936. At the time, a dosage of only 100 milligrams was considered highly dangerous and caused an outrage in the medical profession. Now, this amount is considered minimal.
In 1936, Ingoldsby met a pioneering nutritionist who recommended combinations of nutrients that were not available to the consumer. With a passion for good health and a mind for materializing ideas, Ingoldsby took the initiative to introduce vitamin products under the company name, Plus Products. A leader in the vitamin industry, his company was the first to offer higher dosages of Vitamin C, a complete B-Complex formula and the original "Stress formula" (B-Complex with C).
By the time Ingoldsby sold Plus Products in 1968, Americans had begun to believe in taking vitamins to improve their health and the company had become one of the largest vitamin producers in the nation. Among some of his nutritional products in food form, Ingoldsby developed Instant Breakfast, Tiger's Milk Protein Powder and Tiger's Milk candy bars--the first of the now prolific "nutrition" candy bars.
Ingoldsby continued his research and new product development because he was still dissatisfied with the drawbacks of vitamins in tablet form. Once he created a powdered supplement, he began selling it under the company name, Nutritech. Established in 1972 with his son Doug, Nutritech specialized in designing superior quality dietary supplements. Their mission was to offer pure vitamins and minerals without the additives necessary in the manufacturing of pills. These additives included flow agents, binders, fillers, disintegrates and coatings required to hold them together and cause them to dissolve in the digestive tract.
Along with the Ingoldsby standard of purity, James always looked for ways to provide the most value at the least cost. He knew that customers ended up paying the premiums for the packaging and marketing of all the different vitamins (on average at least twenty types) that they needed to take to meet individual health requirements. Moreover, his research verified his suspicion that people could not fully digest the vitamin tablets they swallowed; often their digestive track could not break down and assimilate the nutrients concentrated in pill form. This is especially acute with seniors. While seeking the most cost-effective and assimilable product, he designed a powdered vitamin-mineral complex.
Ingoldsby's ultimate challenge was to find a way for his non-compressed powdered vitamin and mineral formulas to mix with liquid completely, without any of the bad taste usually associated with vitamins. Before Ingoldsby's experiments, the only way to mask the bitter taste of vitamins and metallic taste of minerals had been to add flavorings (like chocolate) and secret sweeteners. Through diligent research, he discovered the protein used in chelation was the answer to this dilemma. Chelation is the process of combining minerals and compatible amino acid proteins to form a holistic complex like food; theoretically this combination was more like nature intended for nutrition to be ingested. Ingoldsby named his new formula TRN (Time Released Nutrition). He referred to this accomplishment as "the culmination of my life's work."
