We branded and renamed the line, reformulated to improve taste and efficacy (including organic and Non-GMO certifications), added innovative line extensions, and secured new co-manufacturing. Brand was relaunched and successfully rolled out to more than 8,000 stores across North America. We also secured Certified B Corporation status for the company.

Operational improvements were identified and implemented, with gross margin increasing from 25% to 55%
