About Viridian Nutrition:
Viridian Nutrition, based in Daventry, was founded in 1999 on three key principles, to produce a range of food supplements that are Effective, Ethical & Pure.
A family-owned and run business with a range of 240 supplements including 70+ which are certified organic, supplying 1000+ independent health stores across the UK and Ireland, Viridian has expanded internationally and can be found in more than 30 countries.
Founded by Cheryl Thallon, now Chair, her daughter Holly took over as Managing Director in 2024.
