Our rich history began in 1897 with the discovery of acetylsalicylic acid (ASA), which was introduced to the market as Aspirin in 1899. In 1969, Aspirin made it to the moon aboard the Apollo 11 and by the mid-1980’s, numerous countries around the world recognized the cardio-protective benefits of the little white tablet. Today, Bayer manufactures over 100 billion tablets and millions of consumers turn to Aspirin for its pain-relieving properties and the role it plays in the prevention of heart attack and stroke.
