Mentored by his biochemist father, Patrick Mooney, Michael learned to research nutritional science and became a “world authority, according to Sports Illustrated.” In 1973, they created a not-for-profit vitamin research co-op that led to the development of SuperNutrition anti-aging potency supplements. Together, they were early pioneers in nutrition, creating the world’s first gluten-free, hypoallergenic, science-based, full potency multivitamins that were also the first multivitamins that contained no fillers. They founded SuperNutrition in 1977 to bring their cutting-edge anti-aging potency multivitamins to the public.
