UK-based healthcare startup, Vitonnix has raised its first institutional capital in a seed round led by Inflection Point Ventures. The round saw participation from other investors, including practising doctors and bollywood actors, such as Riteish Deshmukh & Boman Irani, singer Jaspinder Narula and film producer Madhu Mantena. The funds will be used to strengthen its senior leadership team, build a consumer-growth engine, expand distribution channels and enter new international markets.
Vitonnix was founded through an observation from a clinical practice where the gap between supplement intake and the body’s natural ability to absorb the nutrients highlighted the need for effective delivery methods. SubliSpray, a range of sublingual nutritional sprays are designed for absorption through oral mucosa with each formulation built for the spray itself with attention to ingredient compatibility, dose consistency, taste and stability, rather than adapted from a tablet. It took over a decade of research to build this platform, including three completed clinical studies on key formulations.
Commenting on the fund raise, Vinay Bansal, Co-founder, IPV, says, “Vitonnix stood out because it's more than a consumer supplement brand. It pairs clinical leadership with differentiated delivery technology and proprietary formulations, and Dr Jindal and his team have built the business with real capital discipline. We believe Vitonnix has the potential to create a global impact in preventive healthcare, and we wanted to be part of that journey.”
Vitonnix was launched by three practising doctors: Dr Prashant Jindal, a UK-based refractive eye surgeon; Dr Deepti Jindal, a dermatologist; and Dr Rajesh Handa, an oral surgeon. Dr Prashant Jindal has practised for more than twenty years, serves an international patient base, and is a HarperCollins-published author and the founder of several philanthropic initiatives. The wider team includes doctors from India and the UK, formulation scientists and regulatory specialists.
Dr. Sandeep Gupta, Director of Orthopedics at Max Hospitals, leads Vitonnix’s medical team in India and is part of the company’s core leadership. Bringing extensive frontline clinical expertise, he plays a pivotal role in shaping Vitonnix’s medical strategy, product innovation, and long-term vision of making nutritional supplementation more effective, convenient, and accessible.
