Who We Are


About-Us

Hi, I’m Larry Switzer, president and owner of ANF, Inc. and HealthyValue.com.

Pioneering Spirulina: 33 years ago, I was a young idealist who set out to improve the planet by developing and launching Spirulina, a blue-green algae, as a basic new human food. I knew that in the future we would need Spirulina as a new super-productive protein-vitamin food, for a variety of critical needs, including healthy brain growth in children in the developing world. I was privileged to be one of the first pioneers to introduce this truly extraordinary, new food resource to the world.

Earthrise FarmsStarting Earthrise: In 1975, I started Earthrise Farms, still the world’s largest producer of Spirulina, and I launched the still-leading EARTHRISE® brand of Spirulina-based supplements into the fast-growing US healthfood industry. The success of EARTHRISE has since given Spirulina the high status a new food needs to succeed. EARTHRISE also gave me the opportunity to prove that a revolutionary, new form of sustainable, super-productive eco-technology will, in fact, be able to meet the future needs of humanity.

A Basic Resource for a Better Future: As a result, today, thousands of tons of Spirulina are produced every year by a growing number of companies around the world. Although Earthrise Farms is still the world-leader, Spirulina’s biggest growth is in Asia, where it will be needed the most! I’m proud to have helped to get this important new basic food resource started. The same, unique eco-technology I helped demonstrated with Spirulina promises to provide a host of other essential microalgal resources for the future, including biochemicals, animal feed additives, fertilizers, pharmaceuticals, and even biofuels.

A Solid Track Record of Other Healthy Innovations: Getting Spirulina successfully accepted is why I got into the dietary supplement business as a manufacturer and marketer in the first place. But I didn’t stop there. For 33 years, I’ve continued to be a leading innovator in the dietary supplement industry. My track record includes successfully introducing a host of other ‘blockbusters’ supplements, including Co-Enzyme Q-10, Glucosamine, Enteric-Release Garlic, Saw Palmetto, Grape Seed and Ginkgo extracts, as well as the entire category of standardized herbal extracts from Europe.

Leadership in Testing and Consumer Protection: Equally important, I’ve also been a leader in improving the testing and quality assurance standards, self-regulation, and consumer transparency of the US dietary supplement industry – which have been essential in helping it grow from $2 billion in sales when I first started in the late 1970’s to more than $25 billion today. 

High-volume Quality Manufacturer: For the last 10 years, I’ve been a private label product developer and manufacturer of specialty supplements for a major mass marketer, as well as for other specialty niche markets, including supplements for pets. My high volume production allows me to produce well-formulated, popular products at very low cost, using the safest and most reliable methods and standards for their ingredient sourcing, production, packaging, and quality assurance. As a result, I produce only the highest quality supplements that meet or exceed every label claim, industry standard, and government regulation – without exception! My wholesale customers continue to give their retail customers exactly what they expect and pay for because I know that the science, ingredients, and techniques I use to formulate and produce these products guarantees that they’re absolutely safe and really work!

Healthy Value is My Definition of Success: Over the years I developed a valuable network of talented, well-qualified experts in the science and marketing of supplements that I absolutely trust to back up my products. They have helped produce success after success. I know that success only lasts by carefully cultivating a balance of imagination, resourcefulness, trust, and integrity – driven by a real commitment to improving the business of my customers by making sure that they, in turn, improve the health and wellbeing of their customers at a price they can afford.

In short, my long-term success results from delivering healthy value, again and again, to you, the customer. 

Now I’ve launched HealthyValue.com to sell my proven, top-selling products directly to consumers like you for the first time, because I’m convinced that there’s always room for more creative integrity and better value in the pursuit of improving the health and wellbeing of everyone!

My Personal Guarantees to You: With the launch of HealthyValue.com, I’m personally guaranteeing to you, this specific set of commitments:

I guarantee that every product I sell will give you the benefits you need and expect, including a healthy savings, every day you use it!

I guarantee that every product I supply will give you a safe, effective daily dose of quality ingredients of guaranteed potency, in proven formulas, that are based on the best science!

I guarantee that I will also do my best to help you understand yourself the science and standards behind every product and to help you remember to take your supplements every day with convenient products and future programs.

I believe that the greatest force for improved health in the world today is informed self-care. That’s the all-important function in your life that I’m here to serve.

Helping You Help Yourself: I know that everyone needs help with integrating healthier products and practices into their lives. I promise to support you in better understanding what you need and in translating your understanding of the life-changing improvements in health you need into new and better habits you can live. I can’t guarantee that you will achieve better health. Only you can do that. But I can guarantee to help. That’s the ultimate purpose of HealthyValue.com.

Only Integrity Endures: The positive spirit behind these commitments comes from the same idealism that sparked me to action, 33 years ago, when I launched Spirulina as a new world food! My life has taught me that, despite all its challenges, the only authentic purpose worth pursuing is actually improving people’s lives - with all the imagination, drive, and personal integrity one can muster. It’s the only source of genuine success worth cultivating. I know I’ll benefit if you do. It’s that simple. That’s my guarantee and you’ll find that I’m a man of my word.
