General Nutrition Bison, nature's best is back!

A hundred years ago the survival of the early settlers of this great land depended on the great American Buffalo. The buffalo was used extensively for food, clothing and shelter. As the pioneers progressed westerly across the land the bison populations began to decrease. 

With the construction of the railway the buffalo was declared a natural pest and the senseless slaughter of thousands of these magnificent animals began until their numbers where so low they were on the verge of becoming extinct. Thanks to the efforts of individual ranchers and a few government officials these animals are once again thriving across North America.
