Note 1:

Basis of Presentation

         The accompanying unaudited condensed financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles for interim financial
information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Article 10 of Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not
include all of the information and footnotes required by
generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all
adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals)
considered necessary for a fair presentation have been
included.  Operating results for the three month period ended
March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the results
that may be expected for the year ended December 31, 1997. 
For further information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the Form 10-K
dated March 31, 1997 and the Company's Proxy Statement dated
April 25, 1997. 

Note 2:  

Certain Sales Transactions 

    In February 1997, the Company entered into a negotiated
settlement with General Nutrition Corporation, Inc. ("GNC")
to settle all pending litigation between the two parties. 
The terms of the settlement include the Company supplying GNC
with certain 4Health products free of charge and taking back
certain other 4Health products.  The execution of this
settlement agreement was partially completed in the first
quarter of 1997 but had no material effect on the results of
operations or financial position of the Company.   
 
    On February 25, 1997, 4Health entered into a barter
agreement with Active Media Services, Inc.  Under the terms
of the agreement, the Company will sell to Active Media
certain inventory with an approximate cost of $780,000 for
which the Company will receive $2,300,000 in barter credits.
Product costing $424,149, with an equivalent sales price, was
shipped to Active Media during the first quarter.  The
balance of this transaction should take place in the second
quarter of 1997. 
 
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations 
 
    See the disclosure regarding forward looking statements
above.  
                                  6 
Results of Operations 
Comparison of First Quarter 1997 to 1996 
 
    Net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1997,
increased 9.3% to $3.8 million from $3.5 million compared to
the same period a year ago.  Net sales in the Nature's Secret
brand were down 11.5%, or $369 thousand, for the first
quarter 1997 compared to the first quarter 1996 due primarily
to a drop in sales to a major customer.  The overall increase
in year-to-date 1997 net sales compared to 1996 can be
attributed to $538 thousand of net sales of the new Undo
product into the mass retail channel of distribution and $149
thousand in net sales to international customers. Also
included in the Company's first quarter 1997 net sales was a
$424 thousand sale to Active Media Services, Inc., a barter
company.  This sale was recorded at the cost of the product
sold. 

    Gross profit decreased 6.1 % to $2.08 million for the
first quarter 1997 from $2.22 million for the same period in
1996.  Gross margin for the first quarter 1997 declined 9.0%
compared to the first quarter 1996. Management attributes
this decline to the $424 thousand sale to Active Media
Services, Inc. recorded at the cost of the product sold. This
transaction accounted for 6.9% of the 9.0% decline.  The
balance of the decline was due to more aggressive discounting
and a shift in sales to products with lower profit margins. 

    General and administrative expenses increased 29% to
$769 thousand in the first quarter 1997 compared to $597
thousand in the first quarter 1996, however, as a percentage
of net sales, these expenses only increased 3.2% to 20.3% in
the first quarter 1997 from 17.1% in the first quarter 1996. 
The increase was due to legal fees related to the settlement
of a dispute with a major customer, costs associated with the
merger with Surgical Technologies Inc., and costs related to
operating as a publicly held company.  Sales and marketing
expenses increased 13.2% in the first quarter of 1997 to $1.7
million compared to $1.5 million for the same period in 1996.
However, as a percentage of sales, sales and marketing
expenses only increased 1.6% to 45.5% in the first quarter
1997 from 43.9% in the first quarter 1996.  Management
attributes the increase to increased advertising and
promotion costs in the marketing department.  4Health's
research and development department increased spending $114
thousand in the first quarter 1997 compared to the first
quarter 1996.  Development of new products and clinical
studies related to new and existing products explain this
increase. 

    Interest income increased 62.5% to $26 thousand in the
first quarter 1997 from $16 thousand in the first quarter
1996.  The reason for this increase was the average balance
of cash and cash equivalents in the first quarter of 1997 was
greater than during the same period a year earlier.
                                  7
    The Company reported a net loss of $426 thousand, or
$.038 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 1997
compared to net income of $12 thousand, or $.001 per share,
for the three months ended March 31, 1996. 

Liquidity and Capital Resources 

    The Company's cash and cash equivalents position at
March 31, 1997,  was $.4 million compared to $1.1 million on
December 31, 1996.  The $.7  million decrease in cash and
cash equivalents position was a result of these resources
being used to fund ongoing operations.  The Company has a
working capital ratio of 3.1 to 1. 

    The Company invests it's cash in an interest bearing
money market account. 

    Accounts receivable totaled $1.8 million at March 31,
1997 as compared to $1.1 million on December 31, 1996.  This
$.7 million or 67% increase was primarily due to the
receivable created by the sale to Active  Media Services,
Inc. and a general increase in net sales on account in the
first quarter of 1997 when compared to the fourth quarter of
1996. 

    Inventories were valued at $1.7 million at March 31,
1997 as compared to $2.5 million at December 31, 1996, which
represents 32%  decrease or $.8 million.  This decrease was
due primarily to the sale to  Active Media Services, Inc. of
$.4 million and a general increase in net  sales in the first
quarter of 1997 when compared to the fourth quarter of 1996. 

    The prepayment of advertising and promotion costs
related to the Undo product, as well as expenses associated
with the introduction of new products and packaging, caused
prepaid expenses to increase to $.7 million at March 31, 1997
from $.2 million at December 31, 1996.  This represents an
increase of 311%. 

    Capital expenditures for the first three months of 1997
were $65 thousand compared to $172 thousand for the same
period in 1996. 

    Accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased $.2
million which is primarily related to amounts due suppliers
for inventory and unpaid advertising and promotion costs. 

    The deferred tax liability decreased $118 thousand as a
result of interim tax estimates by management. 

    The Company had $.4 million in cash reserves at March
31, 1997 and working capital of $3.6 million with a 3.1 to 1
working capital ratio.  Former Surgical Stockholders were
issued 1,135,554 Warrants and, if exercised at an $11.00
exercise price, could generate $12.5 million in cash for   
                             8
4Health, Inc.  These Warrants expire 18 months from the
issuance  date of July 15, 1996 and likelihood of the
Warrants being exercised is dependent on the performance of
the 4Health, Inc. Common Stock.  The likelihood of exercise
increases as the stock price exceeds $11.00 per share. 
Currently, the stock is trading at approximately $5.75 per
share. 

    The Company's future capital requirements will depend on
many factors, including the nature and timing of orders from
customers, collection of accounts on trade sales, the
expansion of sales and marketing efforts, costs associated
with entering into new channels of distribution, and the
status of competitive products. 

    Management believes that its working capital will be
sufficient to satisfy anticipated sales growth, investment,
and facilities for at least 3 months.  The Company is
currently seeking additional financing, but there can be no
assurance that any additional financing will be available at
an acceptable terms, or at all.  The inability to obtain such
financing could have a material adverse effect on the
Company's business, financial condition, and results of
operations. 

PART II.  OTHER INFORMATION 
Item 1.  Legal Proceedings 

    In May of 1996, the Company became aware of the use of
the trademark "Take Charge", for which the Company had
applied for a federally registered trademark (the "Mark"), by
a company in Virginia, Ultra Nutrition International, Inc. 
On July 3, 1996, the Company filed an action, 4Health, Inc.
vs. Ultra Nutrition International, Inc. (96-2-1618), in the
United States District Court for the District of Colorado for
a declaratory judgment to establish the Company's right to
continue using the Mark.  On July 19, 1996, Ultra Nutrition
International, Inc., filed an action, Ultra Nutrition
International, Inc. vs. 4Health, Inc. (96-0048-C), in the
United States District Court for the Western District of
Virginia, alleging that the Company's use of the Mark was in
violation of the rights of Ultra Nutrition International,
Inc., and seeking damages relating to the use of the Mark by
the Company and injunctive relief to prohibit use of the Mark
by the Company.  On August 9, 1996, Ultra Nutrition
International, Inc., amended its complaint to add as a
defendant one of the Company's customers, General Nutrition
Corporation, ("GNC").  Thereafter, GNC filed a crossclaim
against the Company for breach of contract and fraud,
asserting its rights to damages and recission with respect to
those items of product bearing the Mark which GNC had
purchased from the Company.  The Company tendered defense of
the action  to its insurance carrier, U.S. Fire, and the
carrier accepted the defense of the action, reserving its
rights under the applicable policy. 
                                  9
    The Company answered the amended complaint, asserting
that its  rights to the Mark were superior to those of Ultra
Nutrition International, Inc., that it acted in good faith
and that no damages or other relief was available.  With
respect to the cross-claim of GNC, the Company filed an
answer asserting that the Company did not violate any
obligations toward GNC and that GNC is not entitled to any
relief. 

    On October 8, 1996, the Company entered into a
negotiated settlement with Ultra Nutrition International,
Inc., which involved the payment of certain funds to Ultra
Nutrition International, Inc. by the Company's insurance
carrier, and the immediate cessation by the Company of the
use of the Mark in certain advertisements, and the cessation
(after ten months) of the sale of products bearing the Mark
to retailers.  The settlement provides for a dismissal with
prejudice of the action  against the Company by Ultra
Nutrition International, Inc.  

    In February, 1997, the Company entered into a negotiated
settlement with GNC which involved supplying certain 4Health
products free of charge to GNC, taking back certain inventory
from GNC, and abandoning certain claims brought against GNC
in a separate lawsuit filed by 4Health in Colorado on January
30, 1997.  In return, GNC agreed to dismiss certain of its
cross-claims with prejudice and agreed to a covenant not to
sue with respect to the remaining claims.  As a consequence,
all claims between GNC and 4Health have now been resolved. 
4Health has demanded that its insurance carrier, U.S. Fire,
reimburse it for the costs associated with the settlement. 
To date, U.S. Fire has denied any obligation to 4Health in
connection with the GNC claims. 

Item 2(c).  Changes in Securities 

    On February 21, 1997 an engagement letter was signed
between 4Health and Allen & Company Incorporated which
provided that Allen &  Company will act as the Company's
financial advisor with respect to investment banking and
other corporate matters in exchange for specified warrants
("Warrants") to purchase 4Health Common Stock.  On April 15,
1997 two warrant certificates ("Warrant Certificates") were
executed by both parties.   

    The first warrant certificate entitles the holder to
purchase 250,000 shares of 4Health Common Stock at a purchase
price of $4.00 per  share. The second warrant certificate
entitles the holder to purchase 1,000,000 shares of 4Health
Common Stock at a purchase price of $6.00 per share.  The
Warrants are exercisable, at the option of the holder, in
whole or in part at any time from the date of issuance until
their expiration on February 28, 2002, (a) in cash, or (b) at
the election of the holder, without the payment of cash, by
reducing the number of shares of Common Stock that would be
                                  10
obtainable upon the exercise of a warrant and payment of the
exercise price in cash so as to yield a number of shares of
Common Stock upon such exercise equal to the product of (i)
the number of shares of Common Stock for which such warrant
is exercisable as of the date of exercise and (ii) a
fraction, the numerator of which is the excess of the current
market value per share of the Common Stock on the exercise
date over the exercise price per share as of the exercise
date and the denominator of which is the current market value
per share of the Common Stock on the exercise date.  Each
Warrant Certificate gives the holder a one-time right to
require the Company to prepare and file a registration
statement.
