In 1977, Michael Mooney and Patrick Mooney co-founded SuperNutrition, a company that pioneered the nutrition supplement industry for years until it was acquired by NOW Health Group in September 2019. Together they formulated state-of-the-art multivitamins and were at the forefront of political activism for the passing of the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) in 1994.
Throughout his life, Michael worked tirelessly advocating for and researching the science of nutrition and age reversal. He brought his brilliance and passion to new frontiers, creating nutritional protocols that raised the standards of care for HIV, cancer cachexia and burn treatment. For these and other efforts to improve our understanding of holistic health, he earned recognition from esteemed colleagues and the gratitude of thousands of people whose lives he saved and helped regain health with his guidance.
Michael Mooney co-founded The Program for Wellness Restoration with Nelson Vergel; in 2000 they co-wrote the book, Built to Survive, a guide to a healthy approach of living with HIV.
In 2015 Michael received the Lifetime Achievement Award in the Hall of Legends at the Natural Products Expo given by the New Hope Network.
Michael is survived by his sisters, Kathy and Kim Mooney. The family is planning to hold memorial services sometime early 2020.
