Ground-Breaking Natural Product Companies Propel Mainstream Growth

    DENVER, CO, August 02, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- As the natural products industry grows in record numbers, prominent natural product companies are attracting new consumers by producing must-have product lines that are safe, effective and eco-friendly. In fact, according to the Natural Foods Merchandiser, natural products sales reached a record $68 billion in 2008--up $6 billion from 2007--with a key area of growth being attributed to crossover purchases made by conventional shoppers. According to the report, 12.5 percent more consumers are purchasing naturals at conventional stores and supermarkets.

Here are some of the most innovative natural companies that are helping to launch natural products into the mainstream:
