Beyond a Century

2011 is Beyond a Century's 28th year! Founder Warren Cochrane began BAC with a personal dedication to the principles of life extension, good health and great value. A science teacher and coach, Warren had held an interest in nutrition since his teen years. He played football at Yale (grad, 1960) and competed in many other sports including weight lifting, cross-country and alpine skiing, and has won National Championship white water canoe paddling and poling races in past years. Warren has trained with weights for over 50 years; has coached ten different sports, and trained hundreds of athletes (including his own three sons who were members of the US Ski Team).
By 1983, with a background in using arginine and ornithine for support of his fitness regimens, Warren found himself selling "Performance Powder" and other products. The goal then, as now, was to offer low prices for what he thought were the best nutritional products, sold without fancy labels, advertising and catalogs. He was looking for people who wanted great products, were willing to measure out powders, and didn't want to spend a fortune on supplements.
At BAC we try to keep up with the latest nutrition information and offer high-quality products at the best price we can. We purchase from established, reputable suppliers, and pass the savings on to our customers.
Beyond A Century, Inc. is a member of the Better Business Bureau and the Natural Products Association. We follow a strict in-house Good Manufacturing Practices program to insure the quality and purity of products. We also offer an excellent selection of brand-name products from NOW Foods and Life Extension, to name a few.
We thank all our customers for the last 27 years and look forward to many more!
