CARLSBAD, Calif., Aug. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — The Nutritional Business Journal Awards are widely regarded as the most prestigious awards ceremony in the nutrition and supplement industry. Since 2001, the NBJ selection committee has focused on categories such as leadership, innovation, and sustainability in the extraordinarily crowded market of supplementation. The recipient of the 2025 NBJ Award for Science & Innovation has been announced as Qualia Life Sciences.
Qualia Life Sciences was founded in 2015, pioneering the field of complex systems science as a method of supplement formulation. This field places great value on the way different ingredients in a formula do or do not complement each other, and do or do not complement the body’s regulatory systems, in achieving an intended health benefit.
“We’re deeply honored to win the 2025 NBJ Award for Science & Innovation,” states Qualia CEO James Schamachtenberger. “When we founded Qualia nearly a decade ago, the formulation principles we emphasized were a lonely field of expertise for us, and in many ways still are. We value the sum-total interaction of formulas containing dozens of ingredients. We also deeply care if a formula’s effects are being achieved in a manner that is supporting or overriding the body’s regulatory systems. These shouldn’t be esoteric health principles in our industry, but they are. And we’re thrilled that this award reflects our efforts to advance these concepts into mainstream formulation.”
Qualia also is unique in the industry for conducting human studies on every product prior to their release, including both open label and double-blind, placebo-controlled studies on the formulas themselves. Their large and particularly credentialed science team was also a factor in their selection.
“As excited as we are by this award, we’re just as excited by some of the products in our pipeline,” adds Schmachtenberger. “We’re entering the most exciting years of our company’s history.”
