Our Company

Better Health International was founded in 1997 by Ron Zucchelli who experienced first-hand the positive effects of nutritional therapy and formed Better Health International to help others achieve optimum health. When faced with a chronic illness while in Temple Medical School, Ron began to research nutritional supplementation for the enhancement of a healthy immune system.

Today, Better Health International has a full line of high quality nutritional supplements upholding the highest manufacturing and processing standards.

Our Mission

Our goal is to provide the highest quality products at the lowest possible prices. We thoroughly evaluate each product before adding it to our product line. We only supply products from manufacturers that employ the highest quality control standards.

Due to the large volumes that we generate on our product, we are able to receive substantial discounts from our suppliers. We pass these saving along to our customers. This rapid turnover also ensures that we always have fresh products. Most of our products are priced at or below wholesale cost.

Our knowledgeable staff is available to answer any of your questions or take your orders by phone.
