As a teenager, Dr. Abraham was diagnosed with an aggressive form of tissue cancer. After months of treatment, he became dangerously thin due to malnourishment while relying upon conventional nutritional shakes for sustenance. It was not until Dr. Abraham began blending shakes at home using only whole organic ingredients that his health began to improve and weight started to return as the cancer went into remission. Years later, while seeing patients as a practicing physician, Dr. Abraham observed that the quality of conventional nutritional shakes was poor and had not improved meaningfully from the time of his diagnosis as a teenager. This inspired Dr. Abraham to found Orgain in 2009, with the company’s first product modeled after the organic nutrition shakes that he had blended years earlier. Driven by the high quality, great taste and compelling value of its products, today Orgain produces the #1 organic ready-to-drink nutritional shake and #1 plant-based protein powder in the U.S.
