GARDEN GROVE, CA, January 08, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Tracy D. Nguyen has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.
Drawing on more than 30 years of professional experience and nearly 25 years in the field of entrepreneurship, Ms. Nguyen has distinguished herself as the president and chief executive officer of Affordable Quality Pharmaceuticals (AQP) Inc. Serving the community and working field for decades, AQP provides independent pharmacies and pharmacy purchasing groups with cost-effective prescription drugs to fulfill doctors' and patients' needs. The company's success saw it named as one of the top 500 woman-owned businesses in the United States by DiversityBusiness.com.
In her role at AQP, which she has owned since 2000, Ms. Nguyen brings a unique combination of business acumen, a scientific background and a well-traveled history with experience of diverse cultures and health practices. While her experience includes prescription and over-the-counter medications, vitamin and herbal supplements, she also leads major initiatives within the pharmaceutical and wellness industries.
After discovering the realm of traditional medicine in Europe, Ms. Nguyen invested funds into conducting clinical trials with her team subsequently developing two promising products. The first product works to lower blood sugar levels and is demonstrating serious potential in managing diabetes. The second focuses on a drug derived from conventional Japanese medicine that aims to promote artery health by cleansing and strengthening blood vessels. Both products have since been registered with the United States Food and Drug Administration (DailyMed) and are available to purchase through JBA Brands.
Ms. Nguyen's performance in the field was born of her diverse history and educational endeavors. Originally born in Vietnam, she made her way to the United States in 1979 and earned a bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Minnesota in 1985. Five years after entering the workforce and paving her way in the field, she moved to California to fulfill a desire for new experiences and began a new career in the pharmaceutical industry. Her aspiration and perseverance paid off in 2000 when she opened her own business and has been making a positive difference ever since.
In honor of her achievements in the entrepreneurial field, Ms. Nguyen has been recognized with multiple accolades. In 2006, her work with AQP was honored with the Top Woman Business in California Award as well as the Top Asian Pacific American Owned Business in America Award. A year later, she received the Excellence in Entrepreneurship Award.
In accounting for her success, Ms. Nguyen is immensely grateful to a host of mentors who recognized her scientific talents and entrepreneurial spirit and helped her find the path to success. She also credits her desire to experience diverse cultures and explore new product development opportunities as qualities that helped her become a prominent pharmaceutical executive.
Looking to the future with optimism and ambition, Ms. Nguyen is collaborating with a renowned Japanese scientist to develop fucoidan, a bioactive compound known for its potential anticancer, immune-modulating, and anti-inflammatory properties. She has successfully secured FSA/HSA approval for fucoidan, making it eligible for purchase with pretax dollars, further demonstrating her dedication to advancing therapeutic products derived from natural compounds.
Believing that dietary supplements should be enjoyable as well as effective, Ms. Nguyen is pioneering the concept of "coffeeceuticals"—delicious functional coffees infused with dietary supplements. Her goal is to encourage more people to embrace needed nutrition by making the experience both beneficial and pleasurable.
In addition to her work with natural therapeutics, she continues to drive innovation by developing advanced medical devices and exploring new ways to alleviate physical pain. With her expertise, relentless drive, and passion for discovering cutting-edge treatments, Ms. Nguyen is uniquely positioned to shape the future of the pharmaceutical industry while making a meaningful impact on lives around the globe.
