  In 2003, a group of successful business practitioners from different industries came together with a vision to alleviate poverty, by creating equal opportunities for every Filipino, Thus started the birth of FERN INC., a SEC-registered company which engages in direct selling and network marketing.

  The Company started with its first product, FERN-C, a potent, high-quality Vitamin C supplement from Switzerland. A quality product from FERN partner DSM Nutritionals, FERN-C gained instant popularity and triggered enormous demand. FERN-C catapulted FERN Inc. from a small business into the billion-peso company that it is today. Thanks to the tireless efforts of dedicated FERN Members, FERN-C has been the LEADING VITAMIN C in the Philippines since 2006.

  In December 2008, FERN-Slim, an innovative weight management product was launched. After only six months in the market, FERN-Slim ranked to be one of the top selling weight loss products in the market. Meanwhile, 2010 saw the release of two innovative and groundbreaking products: FERN Coffee and FERN i-flex.

  FERN Coffee, dubbed the Coffee With More Perks, is the first coffee mix in the market to have eight vitamins and minerals. FERN i-flex on the other hand, is an all-natural joint health supplement made from rose hip powder which underwent a patented manufacturing process to preserve active ingredients. From a fledgling company in 2003 with only six (6) employees and a handful of members, FERN Inc., now has over 150 employees and a million-strong network base.

  FERN Inc. now offers the average Filipino, through the use and distribution of FERN-C, FERN-Slim, FERNCoffee and FERN i-flex, a potentially rewarding business.

The combination of an easy-to-understand business, a generous and stable rebate system, unmatched training, and four superior products propelled the network to always reach new milestones and achievements every year. Together with a capable support group, the NDP (Network Development Program) team (which equips members with the sufficient knowledge, adequate skills and the right attitude to succeed in the business), achieving the goal and mission to bring prosperity to every Filipino is now within reach. From a dream that started in 2003, PROSPERITY today has become a reality for many, and FERN Inc. will continue to live this vision until it is attained by all.

  FERN-C ensures that the product consumed by Filipino Muslims conforms to Islamic dietary principles and that be easily made accessible to the Muslim consuming public. Certified by the Office of the Muslim Affairs, it has passed and issued a halal certification and establishes the product as a national standard for halal products in the Philippines.

  FERN recognizes the need for further research on sodium ascorbate and its importance in the development, growth and maintenance of a healthy body. As part of the company’s commitment to improve the well-being of every Filipino, Dr. Amelia Reyes-Obusan and FERN President Tommanny Tan conceived Project Orange 7 to monitor the product efficacy of sodium ascorbate. The team is composed of two sub-units. One group handles clinic duties, which includes patient reviews and record management. The group works directly with Drs. Amelia Reyes-Obusan. The FERN free clinic program has handled over 15,000 patients since 2006. The other unit is responsible for research writing. This involves case study writing, in-depth interviews with patients, clinic data analysis, literature review, library work, and internet research. The research team participates occasionally in academic and medical conferences related to public health and Philippine health care systems.

Team Orange 7 Research Director Anthony Balisi said the team is also involved in documenting the medical and cultural knowledge of patients, members, and stockists on perceptions of FERN-C efficacy on key medical conditions. As a venture towards expanding into a knowledge-based and a health service oriented firm, Project Orange 7 is an initiative to organize, verify and systematize the medical and clinical data from the free clinic program. When harnessed, these data may be used for the future expansion of the FERN business entity.

Vitamin C is essential for a healthy life. More than 75 years of research supports this, thus making Vitamin C an inescapable part of optimal health. Vitamin C is important for living organisms since it is an anti-oxidant, and protects the body from oxidative stress. Vitamin C is also important in wound healing and preventing the bleeding of capillaries. Thus, FERN-C is a vital capsule that nourishes and shields people from all walks of life from any diseases cause by stress and other viruses. Consumers ranging adolescents and above are more active and are expose to bacteria, this is the best time to start taking FERN-C. People need to take supplements to supply their Vitamin C needs. There are over 300 metabolic functions in the body which need Vitamin C. Also, many other essential vitamins and minerals used by the body for growth development are either ineffective, or not as effective without Vitamin C. Most plants and animals are able to produce Vitamin C on their own. To sustain daily Vitamin C requirements, humans must look for external sources. Numerous parts of a human's daily diet contain Vitamin C. Rose hip, acerola, Indian gooseberry, guava, parsley, lemon juice, and cauliflower are some examples of food with high Vitamin C content. The problem is, food which has high Vitamin C content may not be readily available. It is for these reasons that FERN-C does the work the better than ordinary Vitamin C supplements. Since FERN-C is alkaline, it is readily absorbed and tolerated by the body. With a pH range of 7.5 to 7.8, one can take large doses of FERN-C without the negative effects of highly-acidic Vitamin C tablets, like gastric irritation, bloating, and intestinal irritation. ONLY FERN-C discloses the source of materials and selected from the finest materials so that customers can get the highest quality of Vitamin C and their money’s worth: the Sodium Ascorbate powder coming from the ONLY manufacturer in Switzerland (DSM Nutritional Products) EXCLUSIVELY DISTRIBUTED to FERN and the use of capsugel to preserve the quality and the shelf life of the Sodium Ascorbate powder. Capsugel is sourced from Pfizer and is safe because it is used by 99% of the pharmaceutical companies in the Philippines.

  Vitamin C is the most important water-soluble biological antioxidant. Energy cannot be made in any cell, brain or muscle without adequate vitamin C.  Collagen is the protein that forms connective fibers in tissues such as skin, ligaments, cartilage, bones and teeth. Collagen also acts as a kind of intracellular "glue" that gives support, shape and bulk to blood vessels, bones, and organs such as the heart, kidneys and liver. Collagen fibers keep bones and blood vessels strong, and help to anchor our teeth to our gums. Collagen is also required for the repair of blood vessels, bruises, and broken bones. As the most abundant protein in the body, collagen accounts for more mass than all the other proteins put together. Our body is continually manufacturing collagen to maintain and repair connective tissues lost to daily wear and tear. Without vitamin C, collagen formation is disrupted, resulting in a wide variety of problems throughout the body.

  Some other branded vitamins offer similar relief in the market. Some of which are Centrum, Enervon, Pharmaton, Conzace, Poten Cee, Revicon, etc. However, some of these products are best known to be multivitamins but are still capsulated with Vitamin C on it. But FERN-C able to withstand competitions as it lends affordable price to consumers making it one of the leading vitamins sold in the market.
