hi! we're omvits

We make thoughtfully designed supplements that harness the natural goodness of plants and help mindful people lead joyful, healthier lives.

We want to be by your side on your wellbeing journey, with our supplements offering a helping hand when our modern diets and lifestyles fall short.

Designed to uplift your health and wellness, our products offer you peace-of-mind and help us to make a positive social and environmental impact.

We want to see a kinder and more sustainable world where people and the planet can thrive together.

who we're for

Here at Omvits, we’re optimists. We believe that most people genuinely want to do good—not just for themselves but also for their loved ones, their communities, and for the planet.

These are the people who carry a refillable bottle to avoid single-use plastics or opt for a plant-based meal several times a week. They make ethical choices whenever possible and care about the future of our planet and all the living things on it.

We aspire to be the supplement brand for these conscientious souls, supporting their choices with products that are as good for the earth as they are for their health.

our philosophy

We believe that supplements are important in our modern lives… but there's a lot more to wellbeing.

Ultimately, our hope for ourselves and for you is a life well lived: enjoying delicious, healthy food, staying mentally and physically active, sharing laughter with friends and family, time in nature, restful sleep, adventurous travel, and minimal stress.

Our supplements are here to help you along the way ensure that the pursuit of a life well lived doesn't come at the expense of our planet.

Together, we can pave the way for a future where wellness and sustainability are intertwined, inspiring not just the supplements industry, but others to do business responsibly and preserve the planet for generations to come.

how it all began

Our journey began in 2017 when our co-founder, Kev, learned how important omega-3 was for a healthy body and mind.

As a lifelong vegetarian, he had a serious concern. He was worried that having never eaten fish - the most common source of omega-3 - his health would suffer later in life. While there were some plant-based alternatives available like flaxseeds, he was frustrated to learn that they weren’t as effective as fish.

That is until he learned a fascinating fact that changed everything...

the "aha" moment

Kev learned that fish don’t make omega-3 themselves… they get it from eating a specific type of marine algae.

This algae could be sustainably farmed to produce plant-based omega-3 that was more potent than fish oil, but free of heavy metals and other nasties!

Not only did this mean there was a plant source of omega-3 available, but with the ever-growing demand for omega-3 around the world, algae could help make a serious dent in the industrial fishing industry, which was already putting a massive strain on the world's oceans, wildlife and coastal communities.

let's do it!

He excitedly shared the idea with his childhood friends Shameek and Shaunak and they were just as excited.

Shameek was a keen sailor and open-water swimmer and loved the idea of helping to preserve the oceans. Shaunak was deeply inspired by the prospect of building an ethical business that could make a positive social impact in the world.

All three of them were in their 30s, starting their young families and making their health and wellbeing a priority.

They’d each had their own challenges with supplements and were eager to do things the right way… and so Omvits was born!

why omvits?

In case you’re wondering, the name was a combination of “Om” - an ancient symbol encompassing peace, tranquillity and consciousness and “vits” representing the vitality we all seek.

Pretty cool name, we think!

Here's Kev diving with whale sharks in Western Australia

For Kev, this was more than just an adventure—it was a dream come true. His lifelong fascination with sharks and marine wildlife took him on a journey across the world and inspired a desire to protect the planet's magnificent creatures.

Upon seeing the devastating effects of large-scale industrial fishing (which provided most of the world's omega-3) first hand, Kev knew there had to be a better way.

Kev believes that adventure and connecting with nature are essential to a life well lived, and his experiences sparked our mission at Omvits.

Here's Shameek sailing off the Southern Coast of the British Isles

Shameek has enjoyed sailing for over a decade, finding the sea to be a sanctuary for inner peace, wisdom and balance.

The mesmerising glow of bioluminescence and the humbling power of a wave remind him of the deep connection we share with the ocean.

Our health and wellbeing are intrinsically linked to the oceans with every breath we take. This eternal bond with nature is something Shameek is deeply passionate about protecting, both for ourselves and future generations.

His experiences and connection with nature continue to inspire our mission at Omvits.

Here's Shaunak hiking the inca trail in peru

Hiking the Inca Trail and traveling around South America was a deeply enriching journey for Shaunak, merging his love for nature, passion for fitness, and desire to help people.

The stunning landscapes of the Andes, coupled with the physical challenges of the trail, nurtured his appreciation for the natural world and the importance of staying active.

Along the way, encounters with diverse cultures and communities inspired Shaunak's sense of compassion and commitment to giving back.

These experiences continue to influence his work and dedication at Omvits.

our promise to you

We began Omvits with one key agreement - to do things a certain way, without compromise. Some companies call this their "values". We prefer to think of it as a promise to our customers...

Why?

We have many reasons not to use animal-based ingredients in our products. If you’re only into a ‘caveman’ diet, then our products may not be for you.

But keep in mind that the life expectancy of cavemen was approximately 33 years.

Eating a whole-food plant-based diet has been scientifically proven to improve our overall health and longevity.

Overfishing is a massive problem for our environment so even making a simple switch to algae-based omega-3 is helping the world move in a new direction.

What have we done?

We've ensured that all of our products will always be 100% vegan with no hidden animal products. We check every last ingredient and are registered with The Vegan Society.

How can we improve?

We're constantly looking for plant-based alternatives to ingredients that are traditionally animal-sourced. We're sure that there are plenty more that we haven't discovered yet!

Why?

Honest truth, our lives would be much easier if we weren’t environmentally conscious, but we’ll never change our ethos.

We feel deeply connected to nature and want to do everything in our power to look after our wonderful planet.

What have we done?

We’re not perfect, but considering our environmental impact in every business decision has led us to do some great things, like investing in
100% plastic-free pouches and striving to phase out plastic packaging.

We only use plastic packaging when it's absolutely necessary and we ensure it is made from PET plastic which has an excellent eco-profile regarding greenhouse emissions and energy use. It is also fully recyclable.

Our postage materials are forestry commission certified and responsibly sourced.

How can we improve?

We want to get as close to zero-plastic as we possibly can.

In order to achieve this, we are always looking for and testing alternative forms of packaging for our products.

Why?

When we started out, we noticed that brands were charging a premium for plant-based and sustainable products.

We realised that ethical alternatives will never make an impact in the world unless people are able to afford them.

What have we done?

Since the beginning, we've fought hard to keep our prices as affordable as possible without compromising on quality or our ethos.

How can we improve?

We've got some exciting products coming soon and we'll be offering the same premium quality at a fair price.

Also as manufacturing costs come down, we'll be passing the savings onto our customers.

Why?

We are determined to make sure our supplements actually make a difference to your health.

Finding good ingredients is only a part of making good supplements, but there’s so much more.

What have we done?

Our team need to know which combinations of ingredients create the most effective formulations, how to delicately balance the amounts of each vitamin or mineral, and use the latest scientific research to guide new product development.

We'll do the research to make sure that our products contain nutrients in their most effective form - as close as possible to how they're found in nature and better than the animal-based alternatives!

It’s a big job and we make sure that it’s done by a team of experienced professionals who truly know what they’re doing and align with our ethos.

How can we improve?

We're going to be creating a lot more content in the near future, so we can bring you the most up-to-date research in a digestible form, so you can make informed decisions about your health and wellness.

We're also looking into new forms of supplements which could result in better absorption while also helping you stick to your supplement routine!

Why?

We use our own products every day and so do our families and friends, from grandparents to babies.

It’s always been our top priority to ensure our products are safe and we never cut corners, because we would never take a risk with our family or yours.

What have we done?

All of our products are made in facilities that meet the highest standards and global manufacturing practices. Furthermore, every batch is tested for quality and purity.

How can we improve?

We want to be even more transparent about our ingredients are processes.

Unfortunately, it's usually legal contracts with our manufacturers that stop us from doing this.

Why?

We’re confident in our products and so are the thousands of happy customers that use them.

However, we understand that you may be reluctant to give us a try if you've never heard of us or you might not like what you bought.

That's why offer a 100-day guarantee when you buy directly from us.

Just message us if there are any issues and we’ll arrange a full, no hassle, money-back refund.

We want you to have peace of mind when using our products.

Why?

Our philosophy in life is to give back more than we take and leave the world better than we found it.

We run our company this way too, so each year we collectively decide how to use our profits to make a positive impact.

What have we done?

We have worked with Vitamin Angels since the start and have helped to provide life-changing vitamins to thousands of underprivileged children and mothers around the world.

Our goal is to support at least 1000 children every month.

How can we improve?

As our company grows, we would love to invest in environmentally-focused initiatives too.

You can help us stop malnutrition from the start.

Malnutrition is the #1 cause of preventable child deaths... but it doesn't need to be.

Through our charity partner Vitamin Angels, we've provided life-changing vitamins to over 50,000 malnourished children around the world, giving them the chance of a better life.

This wouldn't be possible without our amazing customers.
