The discovery of Truehope's renowned multivitamin formulation began in early 1994. Anthony Stephan’s wife, Debora, followed in her father’s footsteps and succumbed to suicide after her 10 year battle with bipolar disorder.

Now the sole provider for their 10 children, 2 of which, Joseph and Autumn, had inherited their mothers disorder, Anthony soon discovered that the psychiatric medications that had failed his wife were now also failing his children. Anthony knew there had to be another way.

Seeing his children progress down an all too familiar path with only one possible outcome, Anthony turned to God, begging for an answer. After months of frequent meditation, an answer came in November of 1995. He learned that vitamins and minerals had been used to resolve similar disorders in the agricultural industry. Feeling inspired, he immediately put it to the test on his son Joseph, but results were poor. He persisted and on January 18th of 1996, he succeeded with a specific combination of vitamins and minerals in a particular balance which produced almost immediate results. Anthony’s prayers had been answered and Joseph and Autumn were finally well. Now 22 years later, they both enjoy happy, fulfilling lives and have beautiful families of their own.

Since the initial discovery, the original combination of vitamins and minerals has been extensively refined and is now known as the Truehope formulation. This product has gone on to assist tens of thousands of people to achieve mental well-being. It has since become one of the most broadly studied natural products for mental health and is backed by 24 medical journal publications attesting to its outstanding efficacy.
