What Happened to Nature's Code Vitamins?

I haven't seen these vitamins on in a very long time. I know there was a "new" doctor who bought Nature's Code and I saw him on a few times...but...no more. Wha' happened?

Probably not on anymore because the brand could not compete with Andrew Lessman's supplements.

Now that you mention this you're right. I've not seen this item on for a very long time. Years ago I was getting the packaged vitamins then stopped. They changed the representative to this other guy and I've only remember seeing him a few times. Maybe QVC decided not to have any vitamin type items on any more. Andrew Lessman used to be on QVC a number of years ago before jumping ship going to HSN.

They still have it in stock, though hard to say if QVC will continue or not once current stock is gone.

From what I understand is he jumped ship because he wanted to expand his line & Q did not think it would sell. Big Mistake on Q's part. HSN says he is their top seller.

I still get my supply every 3 months and with no increase in price and still free shipping. A couple years ago they went from a 5 vitamin pill packet to one pill.....but they informed us (who have taken them for years) that the packet would continue or we could select the one pill per day option. I never replied so still receive the 5 vitamin pill packet. When the new doctor took over - I don't think he made the grade as a salesman - I didn't like to watch him but loved Dr. Taubb - he was great but retired or moved on in life.

@Nightowlz, I had always been curious about why Andrew left QVC to go over to HSN (which is not run as well, and has a terrible customer service department).

I adore Andrew, but he has a very clear idea of what he wants to do and (god help you) if you deviate from his norm. I like that quality in my vitamin manufacturer -- his vitamins are unparalleled in my book -- but I imagine it could be challenging to challenge his way of thinking.

remember when Andrew yanked his Secure Meal Replacement from HSN because HSN started selling that silly Sensa diet program (where you sniffed things to make you each less). Rumor had it that Andrew was even in negotiation to go back to QVC because he was so angry about this. In the end, HSN managed to sort everything out (I'm sure there was a big apology involved) and Andrew brought the Secure back to HSN. *sigh* I was really hoping he'd come back to QVC... oh well...

I have no doubt believing that Andrew's products are their top sellers. Every time he has a TS, it sells between 40,000-50,000 and sometimes up to 65,000 (for COQ10) units. That's a heck of a lot of money.
