AUSTIN, TX – Inc. has announced that Humann, an industry leader in functional food and nutritional supplements for human health, has been named to the Inc. 5000 list for the ninth consecutive year.
Humann’s SuperBeets product line has been recognized as the #1 Doctor and Pharmacist Recommended Beet Brand for Heart Health Support1 and as the #1 Sports Registered Dietitian Recommended Beet Brand for Endurance, Stamina and Athletic Performance.2 The SuperBeets® brand is trusted by over 120 professional and collegiate sports teams. Humann products are now available in over 8,000 retail locations across the nation, including Target, GNC, CVS, and more.
"We are incredibly proud to join the rarified air of being named to the Inc. 5000 list for the ninth consecutive year, which is a true reflection of our team's hard work, dedication, and mission to make lives better," said Joel Kocher, CEO at Humann. "This achievement is a testament to our innovative research, exceptional product development, and the trust our customers place in us. You can see this trust in our 66,000+ five-star ratings and reviews on Amazon for our SuperBeets product line and that we are a Top 100 Overall Seller on Amazon across all categories."
Humann ranks No. 3482 on the 2023 Inc. 5000, its annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The Inc. 5000 list, published annually by Inc. magazine, showcases the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. This recognition is a testament to Humann’s unwavering commitment to innovation, product efficacy backed by science, and customer satisfaction.
The Inc. 5000 class of 2023 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges.
“Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “To make the Inc. 5000—with its requirement of fast growth—is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future.”
Since Humann’s founding in 2010, the company has delivered 500 million servings of heart healthy energy and blood pressure support. The company also fosters research, collaboration, and innovation within the functional health and wellness community through its Scientific Advisory Board which includes some of the top scientists in cardiovascular health, including Nobel Laureate Dr. Ferid Murad, MD, PhD.
“The mission of Humann is what drew us together,” said Dr. John Ivy, PhD and President of Humann’s Scientific Advisory Board. “The company wants to change lives, and no one knew what nitric oxide did until Humann invested in the research and brought its cardiovascular health benefits to market. I am proud to be part of an organization that lets the science speak for itself.”

Companies on the 2023 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2019 to 2022. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2019. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2022.

As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
