Vibrant Health

By Pat Sahr

In 1992 Mark Timon, a nutrition scientist, invested a few thousand dollars of his savings to begin manufacturing a comprehensive health care product called Green Vibrance. The formula included 38 carefully selected ingredients designed to aid detoxification, provide antioxidant protection, and rehabilitate the digestive tract.

In 2002 Timon met Ted and Paige Parker, who were fans of his product. In the year that followed, Paige started selling Green Vibrance in her health food store, and Ted was hired as Vibrant Health's Director of Sales. By 2007 the Parkers were able to combine their business and sales experience to purchase Vibrant Health and establish a company headquarters in Connecticut. Since then the company has successfully added many new products, connected with retailers around the country, and created a “robust e-commerce platform.” As a result, “Vibrant Health has been featured on the Black Enterprise List of the nation’s 100 largest black-owned businesses and has also made the Forbes list of black-owned businesses to support.”

What makes the Green Vibrance products so special? In short, the ingredients are nutrient dense, each one chosen for its unique health benefits. Green Vibrance comes in various formulas including extra protein, and nutrients for joint, digestive, and urinary tract support. Most contain every necessary vitamin and mineral for a balanced daily diet, but also include spirulina, wheatgrass, probiotics and L-glutamine. In addition, Vibrant Health products are certified Non-GMO, vegan friendly, and are gluten, soy, and dairy-free. Green Vibrance products, as well as their pet supplements, can be found in the Wellness Department at the Co-op.
