NeoCell

NeoCell is a natural product company based in Irvine, California, with a number of products designed to promote health, beauty and wellness.

The company was formed in 1998 by Al Quadri after he suffered a heart attack and underwent a triple bypass. Quadri's recovery was slow and he suffered atrophy in his muscles, a sore chest and a loss of overall vitality. He added collagen to his recovery regimen on the theory that the structural protein plays a key role in fortifying and reconstructing depleted muscle and restoring connective tissue. Within a few weeks his health had improved dramatically. After his recovery, Quadri set out to understand how collagen had stimulated his own regenerative systems and helped him during his recovery. His research became his life's work and he founded NeoCell with the goal of creating and promoting collagen products that could help others the same way that they helped him.

NeoCell's manufacturing plant, located in Southern California, is a Natural Products Association GMP certified facility. This certification is awarded to companies that meet a high level of compliance to industry standards as verified through comprehensive third-party inspections of facilities and GMP-related documentation.

NeoCell products are packaged in post-consumer recycled (PCR) plastic bottles. In 2012, the company received an award from the Responsible Packaging Project for its switch to 100% PCR plastic, which generates fewer greenhouse gases, reduces reliance on petrochemicals and keeps plastic out of landfills and oceans.
