Nestlé Divests Vitamins, Minerals, and Supplements Business
“Emerging markets are driving growth for Nestlé across the board and India is leading the pack,” Nestlé’s global CEO Philipp Navratil stated.
Nestlé announced its decision to divest its mainstream vitamins, minerals, and supplements (VMS) business, known as the Holistic Health platform, to Yellow Wood Partners, a private equity firm, for $1 billion. This move marks a strategic shift for the company as it aims to concentrate on areas where it holds a competitive advantage.
The deal includes seven notable brands such as Nature’s Bounty, Osteo Bi-Flex, Ester-C, along with Gard, Nuun, Puritan’s Pride, and Sisu. The transaction also encompasses the U.S. private-label supplements division.
“The mainstream VMS business requires a different approach under dedicated ownership,” CEO Philipp Navratil remarked.
The deal is projected to finalize by the first half of 2027 and would be Yellow Wood’s sixth acquisition from significant consumer companies since 2019. Notably, the firm acquired the lip balm brand ChapStick from Haleon in 2024 and Unilever’s non-core beauty and personal care division, Elida Beauty, in 2023.
