Puritan launches personalized and home-delivered vitamin pack subscription
02 Jun 2022 --- Vitamin player Puritan has launched a personalized vitamin pack subscription program with the focus on tailoring supplements to a variety of individuals’ needs.
The vitamins are personalized by taking information from a short quiz presented to consumers online, which is used to unpack their specific needs. After the test, the company ships the product monthly to the consumers’ doorstep.
The quiz focuses on precise questions about lifestyle and health.
Array of health categories
There are multiple health conditions and problems currently supported by the Puritan program. These include joint support, heart health, digestive support, immune health, sleep and stress support.
“We can offer our customers a place to start their health and wellness journey and feel confident they are getting what they need to support their lifestyle at a reasonable price,” says Joseph Rowland, president of Puritan Pride.
Prices vary as every individual receives different vitamins and supplements, but generally, the price tag of monthly subscriptions is set around US$55.
