Paul Schulick developed a passion for healing when he accompanied his pediatrician dad on house calls. He recognized that healing wasn’t just about medicine, it was also about the loving care his father showed his patients. He started studying alternative healing in the early 1970s and formalized his training by becoming a Master Herbalist through The School of Natural Healing. He and his wife Barbi Schulick founded New Chapter in 1982 in Brattleboro, Vermont.
Recognizing the tremendous healing potential of ginger in the early 1990s, Paul integrated supercritical extraction technology into a full line of ginger products. By 1994, while searching for a reliable source of organic ginger, Paul partnered with Steven Farrell to found Luna Nueva, the first organic and now Biodynamic blue ring ginger farm in Costa Rica. New Chapter believe in using whole food, not synthetic chemical isolates. They use modern science to validate the effectiveness of their products. Most New Chapter products are certified organic and are GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) certified by NSF International, the world's leading expert in independent GMP audits and product safety.
