Everwell Health announced in a recent press release that the organization had acquired American River Nutrition (ARN) from Designs for Health.¹ ARN will bring manufacturing technologies, as well as annatto-based extract ingredients to Everwell Health's functional ingredient platform. Acquired ingredients include DeltaGold, atocopherol-free source of tocotrienols which offers antioxidant benefts, and GG-Gold, a nutrient that decreases with age and helps with protein synthesis, as well as with the production of MK4, progesterone, testosterone, and CoQ10.¹ DuoQuinol was not included in the acquisition and will continue to be a part of Designs for Health. The manufacturing site located in Hadley, Massachusetts, will remain operational and further investments will be made by Everwell Health.

At the state-of-the-art Hadley manufacturing facility, ARN utilized a unique distillation process which didn’t rely on harsh chemicals or solvents to isolate and concentrate key bioactive compounds. The location also includes an in-house lab used for research and development, quality control, and analytical analysis.¹

“Our acquisition of American River Nutrition reinforces our commitment to providing scientifically substantiated ingredients which support consumers in living life to their fullest potential. These unique and powerful plant-based ingredients further build upon our vision to deliver ingredients that empower all to look, feel, and perform their best,” said Steve Rosenman, CEO of Everwell Health.¹ “Our customers will benefit from new opportunities that our expanded ingredient portfolio delivers to innovate new products in key health areas including metabolic, cardiovascular, mitochondrial, men's health, muscle, and bone health. Beyond the ingredient portfolio, the vertical integration of ARN's highly specialized manufacturing facility adds value and strengthens our capabilities as we will continue investing in nature-based bioactive ingredients.”

Amardeep Kahlon, CEO of Designs for Health expressed,¹ “Everwell Health shares our commitment to science, quality, and innovation, and we know ARN will thrive under Everwell's leadership. This move positions Designs for Health to further deliver on our core mission of advancing clinical nutrition and integrative health solutions through healthcare practitioners with our core Designs for Health products.”

As mentioned in the press release¹, “all commercial and manufacturing operations will continue without interruption.” ARN will now be running under the name American River Nutrition, an Everwell Health Company throughout the rest of 2025 before being integrated into Everwell Health’s brand portfolio. Supply chain partners and customers of ARN will be able to take advantage of Everwell Health’s expertise.
