20 Feb 2020 --- Nutritional products retailer The Vitamin Shoppe has launched what is branded as the fitfactor Weight Management System. Inspired by consumer research and backed by The Vitamin Shoppe’s scientific formulations, the system is an easy-to-manage, integrated offering of nutritionist-recommended, quality products combined with free nutrition coaching and an online community for support and education. The move comes as industry is seeing an increased popularity of weight loss-boosting and keto-related NPD, in line with one of the most popular diets of the previous year – the ketogenic diet.
The fitfactor Weight Management System features a range of bundled and personalized product recommendations, based on individual wellness needs. Customers can shop products based on specific goals such as appetite control, increased protein consumption, or reduction in calories. The system can also be tailored to different diets like intermittent fasting, keto, or plant-based.
A simple online quiz can help those starting out on a wellness plan with personalized recommendations, or customers can simply choose a pre-defined goal or diet, all available at the company’s website.
“At The Vitamin Shoppe, we understand that everyone’s wellness goals are different, and what looks like success to one person, may not look the same for another,” says Sharon Leite, company Chief Executive Officer.
“Whether you’re following a particular nutritional regimen like keto or the Mediterranean diet, or striving for a more balanced metabolism, our new fitfactor Weight Management System brand was carefully designed to address consumers' individual needs and adapt to a variety of lifestyles,” she adds.
Scientifically formulated, personalized product assortments are the cornerstone of the fitfactor Weight Management System brand. The Vitamin Shoppe’s proprietary brands are put through 320 rigorous quality assurance steps, and ingredient purity and potency are verified by independent, third-party labs.
