The Center for Health and Nutrition Research is funded by the Vitamin Case Consumer Settlement Fund, which was established using funds paid to settle the State of California's anti-trust lawsuit over price fixing by six vitamin manufacturers that controlled 80 percent of the world´s vitamin market.
