NORTHRIDGE, Calif., June 18, 2013 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Nature Made^® is the leading choice of pharmacists in eight key vitamin and supplement segments, according to a broad survey and ranking released today by U.S. News & World Report, in collaboration with Pharmacy Times.

"The top ranking by U.S. News & World Report and Pharmacy Times is a testament to Nature Made's commitment to high standards, as evident through the brand's continued recognition as a leader in the vitamin and supplement category," said James Brooks, Ph.D., vice president, science and technology, Pharmavite.

For more than 40 years, Nature Made has been a trusted leader in the wellness industry, praised for providing high quality vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements, and striving to ensure superior quality for each of the more than 170 products they make. Nature Made also adheres to strict manufacturing standards and was the first company to obtain the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Verified Mark for many of its products — verification the product meets stringent quality criteria for purity and potency. 

For 17 years, Pharmacy Times has surveyed tens of thousands of pharmacists nationwide to determine the top pharmacist recommended over-the-counter products within several key health areas.
