The Annual Meeting will be held at the Olympic Resort Hotel and Spa, 6111 El Camino Real, Carlsbad, California 92009. This Proxy Statement and the accompanying Proxy and annual report are first being mailed to stockholders on or about November 30, 2000. INFORMATION CONCERNING SOLICITATION AND VOTING SOLICITATION The Company is soliciting the enclosed Proxy and will bear the entire cost of the solicitation of Proxies, including the preparation, assembly, printing and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the Proxy and any additional material furnished to stockholders. Copies of solicitation material will be furnished to brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares in their names that are beneficially owned by others to forward to such beneficial owners. In addition, the Company may reimburse such persons for their cost of forwarding the solicitation material to such beneficial owners. The Company has retained Chase Mellon Shareholder Services to assist in the solicitation of Proxies. The solicitation of Proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, telegram and/or personal solicitation by directors, officers, employees or agents of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid for any such services. Except as described above, the Company does not intend to solicit Proxies other than by mail. VOTING RIGHTS AND OUTSTANDING SHARES Only stockholders of record at the close of business on November 27, 2000 will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. On November 27, 2000, there were approximately 6,024,380 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The Company is incorporated in Delaware and is not required by Delaware corporation law or its Certificate of Incorporation to permit cumulative voting in the election of directors. Each share of Common Stock will have one vote on each matter properly presented and submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting. An affirmative vote of a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote thereon (where the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote are present in person or by Proxy) will be necessary to approve each matter, except for the election of directors, who are elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or by Proxy. There are no rights which will accrue to stockholders dissenting in any matter known to the Company to be raised at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions with respect to any matter are treated as shares present or represented and entitled to vote on that matter and thus have the same effect as negative votes. If shares are not voted by the broker who is the record holder of the shares, or if shares are not voted in other circumstances in which Proxy authority is defective or has been withheld with respect to any matter, these non-voted shares are not deemed to be present or represented for purposes of determining whether stockholder approval of that matter has been obtained. 1

4 REVOCABILITY OF PROXIES When the enclosed Proxy is properly executed and returned, the shares it represents will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with any directions noted thereon, and if no such directions are indicated, the shares it represents will be voted in favor of the proposals set forth in the notice attached hereto. Any person giving a Proxy in the form accompanying this statement has the power to revoke it any time before its exercise by filing with the Secretary of the Company at the Company's principal executive office, 1185 Linda Vista Drive, San Marcos, California 92069, an instrument of revocation or a duly executed Proxy bearing a later date, or by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person. STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS Under Regulation Section 240.14a-5 adopted pursuant to Section 14(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, stockholders who intend to submit proposals at the 2001 Annual Meeting must submit such proposals to the Company no later than August 3, 2001 in order for them to be included in the Proxy Statement and the form of Proxy to be distributed by the Board in connection with that meeting. If the 2001 Annual Meeting is held on a date which is not within 30 days of January 8, 2001, then such proposals must be submitted a reasonable time before the Company begins to print and mail its proxy materials. If a stockholder wishes to have a proposal considered at the 2001 Annual Meeting but does not utilize the process set forth in Regulation Section 240.14a-8, the Company's bylaws control the timely filing of such proposals. Under the Company's bylaws, a stockholder proposal is not timely unless delivered to or mailed to the Secretary of the Company and received at the executive offices of the Company not less than thirty (30) days nor more than sixty (60) days prior to the meeting as originally scheduled. In the event less than forty (40) days notice or prior public disclosure of the date of the meeting is given or made to stockholders, notice by the stockholder to be made timely must be received by the Company not later than the close of business on the tenth day following the day on which notice of the date of the annual meeting was made or publicly disclosed. It is recommended that stockholders submitting proposals or notices of proposals direct them to the Secretary and to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company and utilize Certified Mail-Return Receipt Requested. Stockholders' proposals should be submitted to Natural Alternatives International, Inc., 1185 Linda Vista Drive, Suite D, San Marcos, CA 92069, Attn: Chief Financial Officer.

The following restrictions apply to the options granted: (a) the recipient must be employed with the Company on a full time basis on the date of exercise; (b) the recipient may not be in default of any condition of any written employment agreement; and (b) one-third of the options granted are exercisable on each of the three (3) anniversaries of the date of grant of the option. (2) The potential realizable value of each grant of options has been calculated, pursuant to the regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), assuming the market price of the Common Stock appreciates in value from the date of grant to the end of the option term at the annualized rates of 5% and 10%, respectively. These numbers are calculated based on the requirements promulgated by the SEC and do not reflect the Company's estimates of future stock price growth. Unless the market price of the Common Stock does in fact appreciate in excess of the exercise price of the option over the option term, no value will be realized from option grants made to the executive officers.

13 REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, with management and has received the written disclosures and the letter from KMPG LLP, the Company's independent auditors, required by Independent Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independent Discussions with Audit Committee). The Audit Committee has discussed with the independent auditors the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, the quality of the Company's accounting principles and underlying estimates in its financial statements and the auditor's independence as required by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61 of the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Based on these discussions with KPMG LLP the Audit Committee members recommended unanimously to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000. The members of the Audit Committee are Joe E. Davis, J. Scott Schmidt and Lee G. Weldon. REPORT OF THE HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE The Human Resources Committee is a standing committee of the Board of Directors of the Company and is composed entirely of outside directors. The Human Resources Committee is responsible for adopting and evaluating the effectiveness of Human Resources policies and programs for the Company and for making recommendations regarding the appointment and compensation of the Company's executive and other officers to the full Board of Directors of the Company. The following report is submitted by the Human Resources Committee members with respect to the executive compensation policies established by the Human Resources Committee and compensation paid or awarded to executive and other officers for fiscal 2000. COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY AND OBJECTIVES In adopting and evaluating the effectiveness of compensation programs for executive officers, as well as other employees of the Company, the Human Resources Committee is guided by three basic principles: 1. The Company must offer competitive salaries to be able to attract and retain highly-qualified and experienced executives and other management personnel. 2. Annual executive compensation in excess of base salaries should be tied to the Company's performance. 3. The financial interest of the Company's senior executives should be aligned with the financial interest of the stockholders, primarily through stock option grants and other equity-based compensation programs which reward executives for improvements in the long term value of the Company's Common Stock. 11

14 SALARIES AND EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PROGRAMS In order to retain executives and other key employees, and attract well-qualified executives when the need arises, the Company strives to offer salaries, health care and other employee benefit programs to its employees comparable to those offered by competing businesses. In establishing salaries for executive officers, the Human Resources Committee reviews the historical performance of the executives and available information regarding prevailing salaries and compensation programs offered by businesses of similar size and industry classification in the same geographical area. The Committee believes the base salary and employee benefits of the Company in fiscal 2000 were generally comparable to or lower than those offered by comparable companies in and around San Diego County. STOCK OPTIONS AND EQUITY-BASED PROGRAMS In order to align the financial interest of senior executives and other key employees with those of the stockholders, the Company grants stock options to purchase Common Stock of the Company, restricted stock and stock units to its senior executives and other key employees on a periodic basis. Grants of stock options, restricted stock and stock units reward senior executives and other key employees for performance, which results in increases in the market price of the Company's Common Stock, which directly benefits all stockholders. CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION PROGRAM Mr. LeDoux, the Chief Executive Officer, is awarded a base salary and is evaluated substantially in accordance with the foregoing policies. During fiscal 2000, Mr. LeDoux's base salary was initially $260,000. No incentive bonuses were issued in fiscal 2000. In determining Mr. LeDoux's base salary for fiscal 2000, the Human Resources Committee, in its discretion, made no change from the prior period. In making the determination not to change Mr. LeDoux's base salary, the committee considered the financial performance of the Company and the value of its common shares on the Nasdaq Stock Market compared to prior periods as well as Mr. LeDoux's role in implementing the Company's stated strategic goals in the past twelve months, including but not limited to a reorganization of management, reorganization of employee benefits and executive compensation plan, creation of a new marketing program, implementation of a cost containment program, and successful establishment of a foreign subsidiary. No specific weight was assigned to these factors by the Human Resources Committee in determining the amount of Mr. LeDoux's base salary. In May, 2000 the Chief Executive Officer voluntarily reduced his annual salary by $80,000 to $180,000 per annum and personal transportation allowances were eliminated for all executive officers. The Human Resources Committee anticipates it may restore these or similar benefits and review executive compensation levels in the current fiscal year if the Company returns to profitability. The members of the Human Resources Committee are J. Scott Schmidt and Lee G. Weldon. HUMAN RESOURCES COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION There were no interlocks or other relationships among the Company's executive officers and directors that are required to be disclosed under applicable executive compensation disclosure regulations. 12

17 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS The Chairperson of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company are each presently indebted to the Company in an amount in excess of $60,000. Pursuant to an agreement with the Chairperson of the Board, the Company pays the annual premium of a life insurance policy on her life. Each payment is in the form of a loan to the Chairperson of the Board. The primary purpose of the insurance policy is to provide liquidity to pay estate taxes and thereby avoid the potentially depressive market effect of the sale of a substantial amount of Company stock for such purpose. The indebtedness is to be repaid from the death benefit paid pursuant to the policy. This loan had a balance (rounded to the nearest thousand) of $300,000 at June 30, 2000. The loan to the Chief Executive Officer and President was made for personal purposes and had a balance with accrued interest (rounded to the nearest thousand) of $67,000 at June 30, 2000.

Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Specific due dates for these reports have been established and the Company is required to identify in this Proxy Statement those persons who failed to timely file these reports. Based solely on its review of the copies of reporting forms received by the Company, the Company believes that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2000, all filing requirements under Section 16(a) were satisfied.
