Our mission
Optimal nutrition for every individual
We believe the value of a multivitamin lies in how well its doses complement a person’s diet. What food already provides should guide what a supplement adds.
Somavera was created to put that belief into practice—bringing nutrition science and dietary assessment together to address potential gaps while limiting unnecessary excess.
Built around your diet
Two people of the same age and sex can eat very different diets. A nutrient that one person gets plenty of from food may be lacking in another person’s diet. Their supplement doses should reflect that difference.
Using your reported diet and life stage, Somavera estimates the vitamins and minerals you get from food, then recommends a formula with doses designed to complement that intake.
Our philosophy
-
Personalized
Your diet deserves individual consideration. We tailor nutrient doses to complement what you already get from food.
-
Science-based
Nutritional research and dietary assessment guide our analysis and formulation decisions.
-
Balanced
We give equal attention to potential nutrient shortfalls and unnecessary excess, aiming for an appropriate total intake.
