Nikken was founded in Japan in 1975 by Isamu Masuda and built its business around wellness technology, beginning with magnetic shoe inserts and later expanding into a broader "active wellness" product line. The company became especially known for magnetic wellness products, sleep systems, air and water products, nutrition, skincare, and home-wellness technologies.
Nikken remains active as a direct-selling/network-marketing company. Current product categories include smart hydration, fresh air, restful sleep, smart nutrition, nourished skin, less stress, and vital energy. The current Nikken site lists operations or customer access for the United States, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, and Peru, and the company closed its European operations effective March 31, 2023 after 27 years in that region.
Nikken continues to sell through Independent NIKKEN Consultants. Current company materials state that Nikken products are offered through Independent Consultants and that consultants may build a business by selling products and creating a wellness community. Nikken's distributorship agreement also references sponsoring other consultants, maintaining a sales organization, sharing genealogy information, personal and downline retail-sales requirements, bonuses, overrides, and advancement.
