Naturewell

Naturewell, formerly known as Gum Tech International, was a pharmaceutical and nutraceutical company primarily known for developing the Zicam line of cold remedies. The company specialized in the development of homeopathic and natural health products delivered through unique delivery systems, such as nasal sprays and lozenges. Beyond its commercial success with zinc-based cold treatments, Naturewell pursued a clinical pipeline targeting migraine, arthritis, and diabetes using proprietary formulations. However, the company faced significant regulatory and legal challenges related to its flagship products, leading to the eventual divestiture of its core assets and cessation of operations. At its peak, it represented a significant player in the intersection of traditional pharmaceuticals and natural health products.
