After an early battle with cancer, and undergoing chemotherapy and radiation, founder Andrew Abraham, lost his appetite. His doctors recommended nutrition shakes to get his weight back up, but everything he found had unhealthy and synthetic ingredients. He and his mother started blending their own organic shakes at home. In 2008, Orgain was founded as a go-to brand for clean organic shakes, nutritional powders, and more.
Most Orgain products are Certified Organic and all are gluten-free, soy-free, non-GMO and free of anything artificial. Orgain products are not formulated with eggs, soy, fish, or shellfish, or wheat grain, however they do use peanuts, tree nuts, and dairy as ingredients in certain products. They do not produce in a dedicated peanut-free or tree nut-free facility, but they do follow a stringent Allergen Control Plan and observe Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) to minimize the risk of cross-contamination. They also conduct third party verification to ensure the certification requirements are met.
