Salary benchmarks
Our take
Traditional vitamin and supplement suppliers often lack the infrastructure to provide highly personalised offerings. Vitl have created a cutting-edge app to revolutionise the health and wellbeing industry with personalisation in mind.
The company considers each individual's unique health profile in order to deliver optimised supplements and nutrition advice. A user's health profile is brought together by combining an AI-driven consultation, diet and lifestyle assessments, blood tests and DNA reports that are closely monitored by a team of health professionals.
With its products now available in major retailers like Sainsbury's and Boots, Vitl is looking to the future. Recent funding secured will be used to further expand the brand's DTC and retail offerings, help Vitl enter new markets globally, and scale its workforce.
