History — Trusted since 1980
Consumers have trusted SISU for over twenty-six years with their vitamin and supplement needs. SISU was founded with the goal of formulating and manufacturing especially efficacious supplements. Ever since, SISU has been dedicated to helping active and health-conscious consumers manage their health and wellness needs. We truly value our consumers and the trust they have in the SISU brand name. This is why we continue to provide the highest-quality, science and research-based health supplements possible.
SISU was purchased by NBTY, Inc on June 9th, 2005; yet, SISU continues to operate independently and maintain a strong Canadian identity. Scott Rudolph, Chairman and CEO of NBTY stated, The SISU brand is solidly entrenched with Canadian consumers. We continue to be committed to the independent health food stores that Canadians trust.
Always a Step Ahead in Canada
SISU introduced EVC®, Echinacea Vitamin C, a powerful immune system enhancer that many companies have tried to emulate.
SISU was the first to bring Ester-C® - the gold standard in Vitamin C to Canada. Now, almost every health supplement company carries Ester-C® vitamin C products. Innovation continued with the launch of Phytosome® brand standardized herbs for clinically proven superior absorption and therapeutic activity.
With the introduction of our Health Active Lifestyle line, (formerly Body Elite®), SISU leapt into the competitive sports-nutrition market. SISU Hydrade™, our uniquely formulated rehydration beverage, is the only sports drinks on the market that contains a full range of vitamins and minerals, as well as the necessary electrolytes to replenish the body after a hard workout. Triathletes that have tried Hydrade™ praise its effectiveness in minimizing post-race fatigue and recovery time. SISU also makes the only whey protein on the market that is naturally sweetened with stevia, low in fat and carbs and has a GI (glycemic index) of zero. SISU Whey Protein Isolate is perfect for everyone from body builders to diabetics to anyone looking to supplement their diet with extra protein.
