Since his early youth, Andrew Lessman was fascinated by the biochemistry of the human body. He went on to become an accomplished medical student with a promising career ahead of him.  Frustrated and disappointed that the practice of medicine focused almost entirely on illness and ignored the preservation of health and wellness, Andrew discontinued his pursuit of medicine, and just walked away.

He always thought good health was more about maintaining wellness and proactively preventing disease than in treating a preventable disease after it was too late. So, upon leaving medicine, Andrew set his career path toward the practice of law and the study of health regulation, determined to find a way to help our society, its government, physicians and institutions change their approach to health.

Andrew eventually earned his law degree and opened a practice focusing on a myriad of medical legal issues, including food and drug law. He continued to search for answers on how to address the state of public health and health care in the United States.

Andrew never lost sight of his own fitness, having always used competitive athletics as a balance for all the academic work required by his schooling. His avid pursuit of athletics and physical performance became another outlet for Andrew's scientific background – he pursued legitimate, natural means of providing a healthy edge in athletic training and competition.

That search and his medical background led Andrew to look to nutrition (diet and supplementation) as a means of improving athletic performance, speeding recovery and preventing injury. His research confirmed that the very same nutritional and biochemical principles that ensure optimum athletic performance also directly impact optimum health – which is nothing more than avoiding disease by ensuring the body has what it requires to function at its best.

Andrew began making nutritional supplements for his own use back in the late 1970s, and it was Andrew’s varied background and passions for biochemistry, medicine, nutrition, public health, fitness and athletics that led him to found what is now ProCaps Laboratories in 1979.

A pioneer in vitamins and supplements, ProCaps remains one of the few companies in the world that produces every product it sells, since no other company matches its standards for purity and quality. Moreover, ProCaps Labs is also without question, the only vitamin company in the world that makes all its products using solar energy, ensuring that its products are not only the best for you, but also the planet.

ProCaps Laboratories is still owned by the man who founded it, and his commitment to your health, the quality of his products and the planet have remained unchanged.
