Twinlab and David Blechman

David Blechman had spent 30 years working in the pharmaceutical industry.  By beginning his own company, Blechman was putting his extensive knowledge and skills to work in supplement development.

Blechman’s first liquid protein supplement became very popular with fitness buffs and individuals who were trying to lose weight at the time using the popular liquid fad diets. The Twinlab company quickly grew.

Twinlab and ISI Brands

Twinlab continued to sell mainly liquid supplements until the late 1970s when their popularity with fad dieters declined. In the 1980s the company grew once again when Twinlab began expanding its product line and selling vitamins, minerals, specialty supplements, herbs, and teas.

By the late 1990s growth for the company slowed once again.  Shortly after the end of the 20th century, Twinlab found itself filing for Chapter 11 Reorganization due to financial difficulties. It was at this time that ISI Brands, Inc. acquired the Twinlab company.

The Twinlab customer service department is open and available to take your calls Monday through Friday from 7am to 5pm Mountain Standard Time, except on major holidays.
