History
Where it all began
Not so long ago...
We recognised the need for high-quality, dietitian-formulated supplements that catered to unique health needs. We founded Designed by Dietitians to bring our passion for evidence-based nutrition to life.
Then we evolved...
It started with Nourish, our first line of dietitian-formulated protein supplements. We’ve just released our newest blends, Rest and Glow hot chocolates, designed to support relaxation and skin health. We’re excited to continue this journey, with even more products slated for release in early 2025.
