Overview  

Founded in 1989 and headquartered in Capdenac, France, Nutergia provides natural, expert-recommended food supplements, with a differentiated positioning built around its proprietary concept of Active Cellular Nutrition®. Nutergia develops and manufactures high-quality products, distributed primarily through pharmacy channels and benefits from strong, long-standing endorsement by healthcare professionals. 

What attracted us 

Nutergia has delivered double-digit organic annual growth for over a decade underpinned by strong patient trust and high brand loyalty. The company operates a well-invested production facility in France, where it has an established presence, in addition to Spain and Belgium, with growing international and digital channels. 

The European market for natural and expert-recommended food supplements continues to benefit from durable long-term growth drivers, including ageing populations, increased consumer focus on prevention and wellbeing, and rising demand for high-quality, science-backed products. As a premium brand of choice, Nutergia is well positioned to capitalise on these trends. 

We are investing to accelerate Nutergia’s growth, driving further penetration of existing markets, continued innovation across product categories, acceleration of digital channels and international expansion in selected geographies. As part of the transaction, the Lagarde family will retain a significant minority shareholding and continue to be actively involved in the business. 

Nutergia is built around scientific rigour, product quality and trust from consumers and healthcare professionals. We are pleased to welcome 3i as a partner who shares our ambition and brings significant experience of supporting premium, natural brands in their growth journey, especially in their international expansion. Together, we look forward to building on Nutergia’s foundations and accelerating our long-term ambitions.
