         This Amendment No. 4 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, as amended ("Schedule TO") filed May
5, 2000 relating to the offer by Nutricia Investment Corp. (the "Purchaser"),
a Florida corporation and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Koninklijke
Numico ("Numico"), a company incorporated under the laws of the Netherlands,
to purchase all of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock, par
value $0.01 per share, (the "Common Stock") of Rexall Sundown, Inc. (the
"Company"), at a price of $24.00 per share of Common Stock, net to the seller
in cash, without interest thereon, upon the terms and subject to the
conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated May 5, 2000 (the "Offer
to Purchase") and in the related Letter of Transmittal (which, together with
any amendments or supplements thereto, collectively constitute the "Offer").
All capitalized terms used herein and not defined herein shall have the
meanings set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

         This Amendment also constitutes Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D
of Numico, Purchaser, Nutricia, LP, Nutricia, Inc. and Nutricia International
originally filed on May 10, 2000.

ITEM 6.  PURPOSE OF THE TRANSACTION AND PLANS OR PROPOSALS.

         Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

         As soon as practicable, Purchaser (i) intends to apply to the Nasdaq
National Market for the Shares to be delisted from the Nasdaq National Market
and (ii) will take measures to cause the termination of the registration of
the Shares under the Exchange Act. The Purchaser will acquire the remaining
Shares pursuant to the Merger.

ITEM 7.  SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

         Section 13 of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended and supplemented
by adding at the end thereof the following:

         On June 2, 2000, Numico entered into a definitive agreement with the
respective arrangers and underwriters for each of the Bridge Facility and the
Long Term Facility. These agreements, which are incorporated herein by
reference and copies of which have been filed with the SEC as exhibits to
Schedule TO, reflect the general terms and conditions outlined in the
commitment letters discussed above.

ITEM 8.  INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE SUBJECT COMPANY.

         Item 8 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

         The Offer expired as scheduled at 12:00 midnight, New York City
time, on Friday, June 2, 2000. Pursuant to the Offer and based upon the
report from the Depositary at the time the Offer expired, the Purchaser has
accepted for payment, and will promptly pay for, approximately 62,657,416
Shares which were validly tendered and not withdrawn, which represents
approximately 96.36% of the issued and outstanding Shares. The Shares
tendered include 1,239,166 Shares tendered pursuant to Notices of Guaranteed
Delivery.

         Subject to satisfaction of the requirements of the Florida Business
Corporation Act ("FBCA"), at the relevant time Numico intends to cause the
Purchaser to merge with and into the Company, resulting in the Company becoming
an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Numico. In the merger, each outstanding
Share (except for Shares owned by Numico, the Company or any of their
respective subsidiaries or held by stockholders exercising dissenters' rights
under the FBCA) will be converted into the right to receive $24.00 per Share in
cash and without interest.

ITEM 11.  ADDITIONAL INFORMATION.

         Item 11 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

         On June 5, 2000, Numico issued a press release announcing that the
Offer had expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Friday, June 2,
