Pharma-Natural Inc. has filed for a bankruptcy process due to a wide gap between its assets and liabilities. Founded in 2002, the company has been manufacturing a range of products, including dietary supplements, immune-support items, and sports nutrition formulas.

The Hialeah, Florida-based company is intending to stabilize its finances while carrying on regular operations through the latest court-supervised process.

Pharma-Natural Inc. Files for Bankruptcy

The company filed its Chapter 11 petition on May 20, 2026. Filing records confirm the company is registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Case filings, as available on PACER, state that company president Carolina Ferreiro signed the petition prior to filing. It adds that attorney Joel Aresty of Joel M. Aresty, P.A., is offering legal representation to Pharma-Natural Inc.
