HISTORICAL BACKGROUND: Andrew Szalay founded Grow Company, Inc. in 1977. Andrew Szalay, a pharmacist, received his degree in 1946 from Szeged University in Hungary, where the renowned Nobel Laureate Albert Szent-Györgyi conducted his research leading to the discovery of vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid), and thereby initiating Andy's nutritional ideologies. After learning about the preventive superiority of the natural nutrients, and due to his humanistic nature; Andrew set to create a line of nutrients emulating natural food.
In 1956, he moved to the United States and for the following twenty years his research efforts encompassed the area of nutrition, botanical extracts, study of medicinal plants, and herbs. In 1977, Andy's lifelong dream was successfully implemented by producing nutritional supplements with their compositions closely relating to the actual composition of natural food. By integrating vitamin and minerals into a glycoprotein matrix of proteins, complex carbohydrates, lipids, bioflavonoids, and dietary fiber he developed a new line of extra ordinary food nutrients. His principles were so novel that the United States Patent Office awarded him a Patent on this proprietary manufacturing technology, utilized exclusively by Grow Company for almost three decades.

"Graduating as a pharmacist in 1946, I was consumed with the idea that if only I could produce vitamins and minerals in a more bioavailable form like the extracts my hero, the Nobel laureate Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, had tested; people could truly get the superior supplementation"
- Andrew Szalay
