History
Orgain was founded in 2008 by Dr. Andrew Abraham, a physician who left his medical practice to pursue nutrition innovation after his own health challenges. The company was incorporated on September 16, 2008, and became a Certified B Corporation in December 2022. Dr. Abraham developed the first Orgain product, Nutrition Shakes, in his kitchen using organic ingredients, and has since expanded the product portfolio to include plant-based and grass-fed protein options.
