Our Story· Ultimate Living

How it began

A survivor's mission. A daughter's calling.

Cancer touched multiple generations of the Simmons family, but it was Dee Simmons' own battle with breast cancer that sparked a lifelong mission. Following a life-altering modified radical mastectomy, she made a decision to transform her own personal tragedy into a mission to help others. She dedicated her life to discovering natural ways to support health and wellness.

Her daughter, D'Andra, embraced that mission as her own. Together, they traveled the globe for more than 20 years, collaborating with leading herbalists, naturopaths, nutritionists, and laboratory researchers. Their pursuit of excellence led to the creation of the science-backed formulas that became Ultimate Living.

Today, that same commitment to quality, innovation, and wellness continues to guide everything we do.

From D'Andra

Heal the world,
one person at a time.

In 2018, my mother retired, and I was honored to carry her mission forward. While leadership changed hands, our purpose never did. The same passion, the same commitment to quality, and the same unwavering standards continue to guide our calling. The relentless pursuit of better health for multiple generations is at the heart of everything we do.

At Ultimate Living, we create formulas designed to support immune health and overall wellness. Every product is manufactured to the highest pharmaceutical-grade standards and refined through years of research, testing, and real-world results before it ever reaches our customers.

For us, this has always been about more than supplements. It's about helping people live healthier, stronger, and more vibrant lives, one person at a time.

A short history

Three decades.
Two generations.

Early '90s

A survivor decides to act.

Dee Simmons undergoes an eight-hour modified radical mastectomy. Several women in her family had been affected by cancer. She refuses to be defined by the diagnosis.

1996

Ultimate Living begins.

Dee turns her search for a healthier life into a company. Her daughter D'Andra joins the mission. The first formulas leave the kitchen.

Two decades

A global search.

Dee and D'Andra travel the world. Hours spent counseling with herbalists, naturopaths, nutritionists, and laboratory researchers. The formulas refine themselves through experience, not marketing.

2018

The torch passes.

Dee retires. D'Andra takes her mother's place as President and CEO of Ultimate Living International. Same passion. Same mission. Same standard.

2020s

The catalog grew.

Organic Minerals, LKB Support, Neuro Harmony, and the Practitioner Bundle join Green Miracle. Each refined slowly, by hand.

Today

Still the same family.

Manufactured to the highest pharmaceutical standards. Each formula one of a kind. Still made with the intention to heal others, starting from the inside and radiating out.

Our philosophy

Slow science.
Open labels.
Same hands.

Full transparency.

Every milligram is printed on the label. We don't hide ratios. We don't round numbers up.

Third-party tested every batch.

Independent ISO-accredited lab. We pay for it ourselves. We don't self-certify.

One founder. Three decades.

D'Andra still leads formulation. The bottle in your kitchen is the formula she signed off on this morning.

Beyond the bottle
