iHerb Online Health and Wellness Platform

iHerb is a leading global e-commerce retailer specializing in health, wellness, and personal care products. Founded in 1996 in the United States, the platform has grown from its initial focus on St. John's Wort to offering over 30,000 products from more than 1,200 brands. While iHerb serves as a distributor for thousands of global manufacturers, they also offer several private-label brands such as California Gold Nutrition and Mild By Nature.

Because iHerb is a marketplace, the products sold on the platform are manufactured in multiple countries, though a significant portion of their private-label supplements are manufactured in the United States to meet strict quality standards. The company operates high-tech fulfillment centers across the U.S. and in international hubs like South Korea to ensure rapid global shipping.

Ownership of iHerb remains largely private. In 2021, the company saw significant investment when Emart, a South Korean retail giant, acquired a minority stake through its subsidiary. Despite this investment, the company continues to operate as an independent entity headquartered in Irvine, California, maintaining its status as one of the world's largest health-focused e-commerce platforms.
