Our Story
Tragedy. Trial. Triumph.
A Family Tragedy
After a hard fought battle with mental illness, Tony Stephan lost his wife. Several of their 9 children struggled with mental health issues as well. Healthcare professionals told Tony it was probable that one of his children would likely suffer the same fate as his mother due to the severity of his symptoms. They offered little hope.
A Possible Solution
After he refused to give up, Tony learned about micronutrient formulations that were used for livestock and began experimenting with combinations for his afflicted children.
1995Nutritional Breakthrough
Tony’s children, Joseph and Autumn, were the first to receive the new nutrient formula. Both responded quickly and experienced an increase in calm, coping, and mental clarity. They each began incredible healing using only the micronutrients.
1996EMPowerplus™ is Born
Tony named his micronutrient formula, EMPowerplus, and launched Truehope Nutritional Support for the purpose of assisting individuals who use EMPowerplus for mental wellbeing.
1998The First Research
Researchers published the first studies on EMPowerplus and new technology allowed the standard dose to be reduced from 32 capsules to 18 capsules a day. EMPowerplus began to draw interest from the scientific community, and more research was soon underway.
