We are on a mission to create sustainable and cruelty-free products, vitamins and minerals that really do make a difference, for people who care about the environment.
We’re Omvits and like you, we’re a little different.
We know that there’s a link between taking care of our planet and the people on it. So, we started Omvits with both in mind.
Our range of ethical supplements are packed with cruelty-free ingredients and delivered to your door in sustainable packaging.
Let’s work together and protect our planet for future generations.
The Omvits story began back in 2017 when Kev burst into Shameek and Shaunak’s office, filled with enthusiasm whilst exploring the world of sustainable nutrition.
He had just discovered that Omega-3 originally comes from algae, not fish!
Together they realised that this had the potential to make waves and bring an end to the use of fish oil around the world.
Fired up, they pushed on to make the best sustainably sourced, cruelty-free supplements for people like them who care about the planet.
Omvits has always been inspired by nature, it’s part of our DNA.
That’s why we consider the impact of every decision we make, from selecting ingredients right through to our packaging.
We also love to work closely with charitable causes to ensure that our business benefits both the planet and the people on it.
So yes, here at Omvits we are a little different because protecting your health and our planet means the world to us.
Welcome to the Omvits community… let's work together and make some waves!
We'll only develop products which are truly beneficial for people.
We believe that most of our nutrients should come from our food - Omvits is just here to fill in the gaps.
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!
We believe that animal-based products are not sustainable for the future.
All our products will be 100% vegan from sustainable sources and we'll select environmentally-friendly materials for our packaging.
Whether we're considering a new product, looking for ingredients or meeting a supplier, there are a set of principles that we will always stick to before making any decisions...
Why?
Millions of people around the world are moving towards vegetarian and vegan diets, or simply trying to reduce the amount of animal products they consume.
Aside from the animal cruelty issues, It's one of the best ways to reduce our environmental impact.
We want to support anyone already on a plant-based diet or making the transition.
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?
We expect a certain level of quality from the products our families consume, so why would we expect any less from our customers?
What have we done?
We've ensured that all our products are manufactured to globally recognised standards and every batch is independently tested for quality and purity.
All our founders use the products themselves and give them to their loved ones.
How can we improve?
We're keeping a close eye on breakthroughs in the industry, so we can continuously improve our products with better ingredients, packaging or processes.
In fact, we've recently upgraded our Omega-3 manufacturing process, so our oil is purer than it's ever been!
Why?
Protecting the planet begins with the decisions we make day-to-day.
Being conscious of environmental impact isn't just about the product itself, but also the packaging and processes that we use.
What have we done?
We've recently ditched our plastic pouches and introduced a 100% plastic-free alternative.
We've also made certain products which didn't need a plastic bottle, available only in this new eco-friendly packaging.
Not only is it plastic-free, it's also marine degradable, compostable and biodegradable!
The plastic bottles that do remain are 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 looking at alternative forms of packaging for our remaining bottled products.
Why?
We think that sustainable, plant-based alternatives will never make an impact in the world unless people are able to afford them.
That's why we want to make it affordable for people to make the switch to our products.
What have we done?
We've used premium ingredients such as algae-based Omega-3, Vitamin B12 Methylcobalamin and Vitamin D3 from Lichen and offered them at a non-premium price.
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?
Whether it's a supplier, customer or competitor, we believe that everyone deserves a certain level of respect and kindness when dealing with Omvits.
What have we done?
We've made sure that every email or review that we receive is read by at least one member of the founding team and responded to personally.
Customer service in particular is super important to us, so making sure our customers are happy is right at the top of our priority list.
We also have great relationships with all our suppliers and have gone out of our way to meet them personally.
How can we improve?
We want to make better use of the power of social media to connect more closely with our customers and supporters. Come and follow us on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter!
Why?
"No one can do everything, but everyone can do something." - Max Lucado
There are many causes that we care about, so it's important that we make a contribution wherever we can - however small it may be.
What have we done?
Malnutrition is the #1 cause of preventable child deaths.
We've partnered with the charity Vitamin Angels to support them in bringing life-changing vitamins to at-risk populations around the world.
So far, we've provided vitamins to over 25,000 children and aim to help at least 1,000 more every month in 2021.
How can we improve?
We would love to get involved with ocean conservation charity partners and make Omvits a real force for good in the world.
Malnutrition is the #1 cause of preventable child deaths... but we can help.
This year, we've pledged to help provide vitamins to at least 1,000 children every month through Vitamin Angels
