Why we are different and the problems we are working to solve:
Challenging the status quo of traditional vitamins by offering the industry’s only approach of “true personalization” is at the heart of everything we do. It may be easier to provide pill packs or a smaller ingredient list with limited dosages, but we strive to take personalized vitamins to the next level and our team doesn’t settle for easy.
True personalization allows people to conveniently take control of their unique health needs and goals as they evolve over time. We want to communicate the value of a truly personalized vitamin that can be endlessly dynamic with the world and we’ll need your help with that.
