Vitabiotics

Is Vitabiotics an ethical vitamin and supplement brand? 

Founded in 1971, Vitabiotics is a well-known British vitamin and supplement brand. Vitabiotics also owns Wellwoman, Wellman and Wellkid, amongst other vitamin brands.

Despite its popularity, Vitabiotics does not yet reach the minimum ethical benchmark within The Good Shopping Guide’s Ethical Vitamins & Supplements Sector. As a result, Vitabiotics cannot be classified as an ethical vitamin and supplement brand.

Although it does not quite reach our minimum benchmark, The Good Shopping Guide still encourages Vitabiotics to get in touch and apply for Ethical Accreditation. By applying, The Good Shopping Guide would be able to offer Vitabiotics an assessment and some advice on how to improve its bottom scores.
