Our strategic M&A philosophy
We create lasting value through thoughtful integration, not just consolidation. Through acquisitions like Laboratoires Trenker and Nutriphyt, we unite complementary brands under a shared vision while preserving their DNA.
Progress at all levels
Our vision
Our growth strategy rests on four pillars: new product innovation, portfolio expansion across therapeutic areas, European market penetration through partnerships with healthcare professionals, and strategic acquisitions. Together with physicians, pharmacies, and paramedical professionals, we build a trusted care ecosystem that effectively delivers evidence-based solutions to patients.
Building a professional network
Healthcare professionals and pharmacies are driving our expansion. We work with doctors, pharmacy networks, dietitians, and physical therapists across Europe to integrate our products into clinical practices. These partnerships help us refine our product formulations, validate therapeutic outcomes, and extend our reach through trusted recommendations. We’re able to grow because these practitioners trust our science-backed approach to personalized health.
Strategic supplier partnerships
Our suppliers are strategic partners in our journey of growth. We collaborate with ingredient innovators who specialize in their fields and share our commitment to quality and scientific rigor. These partnerships allow us to develop products quickly, ensure regulatory compliance across markets, and support our acquisition strategy. Together, we build the infrastructure needed to expand our professional-recommended solutions worldwide.
Our carefully formulated values
Fun
We simply love what we do at erudite.health. It fuels our teams to be able to develop the next generation of intelligent, unified medicine.
Curiosity
Stay curious. Keep searching. Because we believe that we don’t know. Yet. We check predictions against evidence from observation. And we never stop asking.
Excellence
Never settle. We are committed to striving for excellence and growth. Our company, brands and the teams we work with, all share the same desire: they play to win. Play along.
People
Your personal health is sacred and irreplaceable. There’s nothing we respect more. So, we put people first in everything we do. That is our promise to our team, partners, health care professionals and patients.
Trustworthiness
Medicine, healthcare and well-being all rely on trust, skills, and knowledge. This is the core fundament of our company and the category in which we work. Trust fuels everything we do, say, produce and develop. We will not compromise on trust.
