The evidence behind DRV+

Gut Health

Broad-spectrum digestive relief, with a clear duration-response

Gut Works® is a microbiome-support formulation combining probiotics, prebiotics and fibre. This real-world evaluation reports user-reported outcomes and a pre-specified duration-stratified analysis.

146 respondents 2024–2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
95% rated it effective
91% relieved 1+ symptom
90% would recommend it
Study Findings

A cross-sectional customer survey of 146 consistent users - 79.5% with regular or severe baseline gut and IBS (irritable bowel syndrome) symptoms – assessed effectiveness, symptom-level relief among prior sufferers, and outcomes by duration of use.

The results?

Among definitively rated users, 95.0% found Gut Works® effective (46.8% extremely effective). A clear duration-response emerged: extremely-effective ratings rose from 30.8% at under two months to 58.8% at four months or more, with combined-positive reaching 97.6%. Symptom relief among prior sufferers reached 66.1% (diarrhoea), 62.9% (bloating) and 60.5% (wind) - the most common symptoms of IBS. 90% would recommend Gut Works®.

What This Means

Duration-dependent efficacy

Extremely-effective ratings rose from 30.8% to 58.8% across duration bands.

Consistent with the biology of microbiome establishment over sustained supplementation.

Relief concentrated in prior sufferers

62.9% bloating, 66.1% diarrhoea, 60.5% wind - among those affected at baseline.

Calculated only among users who reported each symptom before use.

Strong real-world advocacy

90% would recommend it; mean recommendation 8.7 out of 10.

From a highly adherent cohort (96.6% daily or most days).

Bone, Muscle & Joint Health

Targeted joint and anti-inflammatory relief

DRV+ Curcumin & Turmeric is a plant-based formulation for joint comfort and inflammation. This real-world evaluation reports user-reported outcomes across joint and inflammatory symptoms.

61 respondents 2024–2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
95% rate it effective
82% joint-pain relief
69% inflammation relief
Study Findings

A cross-sectional survey of 61 customers - 93.4% aged 45+, 45.9% with a musculoskeletal diagnosis - assessed effectiveness, symptom relief among prior sufferers, and outcomes by duration.

The results?

94.5% of rated users found it effective (40.0% very effective). Among prior sufferers, 81.6% reported relief from joint aches and 69.2% from inflammation, concentrated anatomically in the knees, hips and hands. The very-effective rating rose to 50.0% at two years or more. 85% would recommend it.

What This Means

Mechanistically coherent relief

81.6% joint-pain and 69.2% inflammation relief.

A pattern consistent with curcumin's established anti-inflammatory action.

Cumulative duration-response

Very-effective ratings reached 50.0% at two years or more.

Supporting sustained supplementation for maximal benefit.

High advocacy

85% would recommend it; mean recommendation 8.6 out of 10.

84.5% scored 7 or above.

Gut Health

A targeted option for bloating-dominant presentations

Debloat & Detox by DRV+ is a plant-based supplement focused on bloating and associated digestive discomfort.

335 respondents October 2022 Cross-sectional customer survey
81% rated it effective
69% bloating relief
54% relief within 2 weeks
Study Findings

Of 335 customers who had tried Debloat & Detox, effectiveness, time to relief and symptom-level outcomes were assessed (285 gave a definitive rating).

The results?

Among definitively rated users, 80.7% found it effective. Relief was concentrated in the product's target symptoms - bloating (68.8%) and wind (28.7%). Over half (53.5%) of responders noted relief within two weeks.

What This Means

Symptom-targeted profile

68.8% bloating and 28.7% wind relief.

A concentrated profile suited to bloating-dominant presentations.

Positioned alongside Gut Works®

80.7% positive versus 83.0% for Gut Works®.

Gut Works® suits broader multi-symptom cases; Debloat & Detox® is bloating-focused.

Rapid onset in responders

53.5% within two weeks; 73.5% within three.

For those who respond, relief tends to come early.

Women's Health

A non-hormonal menopause option with a clear duration-response

MenoFriend® is a non-hormonal nutritional supplement for the menopausal transition. This individual-level analysis reports effectiveness, symptom relief and a direct comparison with HRT in the same population.

978 respondents (735 established users) January 2024 Cross-sectional customer survey
89% established users rate it effective
83% all users rate it effective
69% HRT comparator
Study Findings

Individual-level cross-tabulation of 978 MenoFriend® users (735 established, 2+ months), with HRT (n=574) as a same-population comparator.

The results?

82.6% of all users and 88.7% of established users rated MenoFriend® effective, versus 68.5% for HRT, with a far lower dissatisfaction rate (17.4% vs 31.5%). A clear duration-response was seen (64.2% at under two months rising to 95.8% at 1-2 years). MenoFriend® outperformed HRT specifically for brain fog (35.0% vs 26.8%).

What This Means

Favourable vs HRT in this population

88.7% (established) vs 68.5% for HRT; nearly half the dissatisfaction rate.

Note: ~25% of users also used HRT concurrently.

Clear duration-response

Combined-positive rose from 64.2% to 95.8% across duration bands.

Adequate exposure (3+ months) is key to assessing benefit.

Distinct cognitive edge

Brain-fog relief 35.0% vs 26.8% for HRT.

Alongside hot flushes/night sweats (44.8%) and mood (42.4%).

Women's Health

Broad-spectrum PMS relief, led by mood

PMS Hero® is a nutritional supplement targeting the physical and psychological symptoms of PMS. This evaluation reports user-reported outcomes against a high-burden symptom backdrop (mean 8.3 symptoms per woman).

33 PMS Hero® users (from 265 surveyed) March 2023 Cross-sectional customer survey
91% effective
52% highly effective
73% mood-swing relief
Study Findings

Within a 265-woman survey, PMS Hero® users were assessed for effectiveness and symptom-level relief, mapped against symptom prevalence and disruptiveness.

The results?

90.9% of rated users found PMS Hero® effective (51.5% extremely or very effective). Mood swings - the most prevalent (70.5%) and most disruptive (39.6%) PMS symptom - were relieved in 72.7% of users. Relief spanned all five of the most-disruptive symptoms. PMS Hero® outperformed every self-management strategy assessed.

What This Means

Targets the lead symptom

72.7% mood-swing relief.

Directly addressing PMS's most prevalent and most disruptive symptom.

Across the disruptive cluster

Relief reported across mood, low mood, sleep, bloating and headaches.

Coverage of all five top-rated disruptors.

Outperforms standard strategies

90.9% positive vs sub-7/10 means for all common remedies.

Including ibuprofen, general supplements, exercise and paracetamol.

Women's Health

Top-rated nutritional support for vaginal health

pH Hero® supports vaginal pH balance and common vaginal and urinary conditions - from dryness and discomfort to thrush, BV, and UTIs. This evaluation benchmarks it against all other management strategies in a 1,202-woman survey.

75 pH Hero® users (from 1,202 surveyed) July 2024 Cross-sectional customer survey
79% effective (rated users)
39% extremely effective
75% responders within 4 weeks
Study Findings

Of 1,202 women surveyed, pH Hero® users were assessed for effectiveness, time to relief and symptom-level outcomes, benchmarked against creams/pessaries, supplements and cranberry juice.

The results?

78.7% of rated users found pH Hero® effective; its 38.7% extremely-effective rating was the highest top-box score of any remedy - ahead of creams and pessaries (33.8%) and far ahead of cranberry juice (7.4%). Relief spanned dryness, discomfort and itchiness alongside thrush, UTIs, BV and pH balance; 75% of responders noted benefit within four weeks.

What This Means

Highest top-box of any option

38.7% extremely effective - above creams/pessaries (33.8%).

And well above probiotics (16.2%) and cranberry juice (7.4%).

Acts on an upstream mechanism

26.4% reported improved overall pH balance.

A common upstream factor across UTIs, BV and thrush.

Spans chronic and recurrent

Dryness 31.9%, itchiness/discomfort 33.3%, thrush 26.4%, UTIs 25.0%.

Covering both daily-living symptoms and recurrent infection.

Women's Health

Perimenopause support, with a clear duration-response

PeriMenoFriend® is a nutritional supplement formulated for the perimenopausal transition. This real-world evaluation reports user-reported effectiveness, symptom relief, time to benefit and outcomes by HRT status.

352 respondents 2024–2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
95% effective (rated users)
89% relieved 1+ symptom
98% effective in HRT-naïve users
Study Findings

A cross-sectional customer survey of 352 highly adherent users (99.7% daily or most days) assessed effectiveness, a duration-stratified analysis, symptom-level relief, time to benefit and a comparison by HRT status.

The results?

94.6% rated PeriMenoFriend® effective (44.3% extremely effective; combined negative just 5.4%). A clear duration-response emerged — extremely-effective ratings rose from 40.2% at under two months to 59.5% at four months or more, with combined-positive reaching 100% in the longest band. 88.9% reported relief in at least one symptom (mean 3.2), most often anxiety/mood swings (55.7%), hot flushes/night sweats (41.8%) and brain fog (39.2%). Among HRT-naïve users, 97.6% found it effective, and onset was rapid (75.8% within four weeks).

What This Means

Duration-dependent efficacy

Extremely-effective ratings rose from 40.2% to 59.5% across duration bands.

Combined-positive reached 100% beyond four months, supporting sustained daily use.

Broad psychological and vasomotor relief

Anxiety/mood swings 55.7%, hot flushes/night sweats 41.8%, brain fog 39.2%.

Mean 3.2 symptoms relieved per user; 62.5% across three or more.

Strong non-hormonal signal

97.6% effective among the 70.2% who had never taken HRT.

Supporting its role where HRT is unsuitable or unwanted.

Bone, Muscle & Joint Health

Bone health: aware of the risk, not taking action

Our survey of 343 women, most peri- or postmenopausal, reveals a striking gap between how aware and concerned women are about bone health and how few take the steps that actually protect it.

343 respondents 2024–2025 Cross-sectional online survey
88% aware of the risk
42% rarely do protective exercise
68% want new support
Study Findings

We surveyed 343 women, most in midlife, on their awareness of and concern about bone health, the protective steps they take, their recognition of the gut–bone link, and the symptoms they already have.

What we found:

88.2% were aware of the postmenopausal risk to bone health and 77.2% were concerned - yet 42% rarely or never do weight-bearing or resistance exercise, the most protective behaviour, and this held even among those who were aware or concerned. Musculoskeletal symptoms were already common (78.7%, led by joint pain at 66.5%), the gut–bone link was under-recognised (43.3% didn't make the connection); and despite high concern, 41.1% were taking nothing for their bones, while 67.9% wanted a new solution.

What This Means

Awareness isn't translating into action

42% rarely or never do the exercise that protects bone density.

The gap holds even among women who are aware of the risk and concerned about it.

The gut–bone link is missed

43.3% don't recognise gut health as important for their bones.

Despite the gut's role in absorbing bone-critical nutrients like calcium and vitamin D.

A clear unmet need

41.1% take nothing for their bones, yet 67.9% want a new solution.

High concern with low action points to real demand for accessible, evidence-based support.

Daily Wellbeing

The daily multivitamin that outperforms the market

We compared the award-winning DRV+ Daily Multivitamin against the wider multivitamin market - and it came out ahead on every measure we tested.

138 DRV+ users from 651 surveyed January 2024 Cross-sectional customer survey
99% positive for wellbeing
75% feel it covers dietary gaps
89% rated it value for money
Study Findings

Within a survey of 651 adults, we compared 138 DRV+ Daily Multivitamin users against users of every other multivitamin brand.

The results?

98.5% rated the DRV+ Daily Multivitamin positive for overall wellbeing. It outperformed the market average in all twelve health areas measured - with the biggest leads in brain fog, concentration, mood and skin - and 88.8% considered it value for money.

What This Means

Ahead of the market

99% positive for wellbeing, versus 94% across all brands.

With a higher 'highly effective' rate than the all-brand average.

Strongest where it counts

Biggest leads in brain fog, concentration, mood and skin.

Outperforming the average across all twelve health areas measured.

Trusted value

88.8% rated it value for money; 75.2% felt protected on off-diet days.

Both higher than the all-brand figures.

Daily Wellbeing

How well do multivitamins really work?

Our survey of 651 adults benchmarks why people take multivitamins, what they expect, and where products succeed or fall short across the market.

651 respondents (343 multivitamin users) January 2024 Cross-sectional customer survey
94% rate their multi effective
70% notice benefit within 4 weeks
40%+ can't spot additives
Study Findings

We surveyed 651 adults on multivitamin motivations, behaviours, ingredient awareness and perceived effectiveness across twelve health areas.

What we found:

94.4% of daily users rated their multivitamin positive overall, and 70% noticed benefit within four weeks. Immunity (70%), energy (57%) and skin (52%) performed best; sleep and anxiety were weakest - the biggest unmet needs. Over 40% had never checked for unnecessary additives because they didn't know what to look for.

What This Means

High satisfaction, uneven domains

Strongest for immunity, energy and skin; weakest for sleep and anxiety.

Marking the clearest gaps in current formulations.

An education gap

40%+ don't know how to check for unnecessary additives.

A meaningful consumer-awareness opportunity.

What drives switching

Lack of efficacy, cost and additives are the top reasons people leave a brand.

The priorities that determine long-term loyalty.

Gut Health

The hidden burden of gut health

Our survey of 811 adults reveals how widespread, multi-symptom and life-affecting gut health issues really are - and how poorly current options meet the need.

811 respondents October 2022 Cross-sectional customer survey
92% report gut issues
81% experience bloating
97% say it affects wider wellbeing
Study Findings

We surveyed 811 adults on the prevalence, breadth and psychosocial impact of gut symptoms, and the strategies they use to manage them.

What we found:

92% reported some degree of gut issues, carrying a mean of 6.2 symptoms each - led by bloating (81%), fatigue (62%) and wind (52%). 97% said gut health affected another area of wellbeing such as energy, weight or mood, and 67% found symptoms worsened with anxiety. No management strategy was rated 'very effective' by more than one in five users.

What This Means

It's rarely just one symptom

Mean 6.2 symptoms per person; 41% had seven or more at once.

Gut issues cluster rather than appear in isolation.

It spills into everything

97% said gut health affects energy, weight or mood.

And 67% report a clear gut–anxiety link.

A real unmet need

No strategy was 'very effective' for more than 1 in 5.

Pointing to demand for genuinely effective options.

Hair Health

Stronger, healthier hair with consistent use

Hair Saviour® is a comprehensive blend of clinically studied vitamins, minerals and botanicals, formulated to support hair strength, growth, condition and thickness - for those who commit to consistent daily use.

76 respondents (from 194 surveyed) 2024-2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
79% found it effective
87% saw improvement in 1+ area
55% would recommend it
Study Findings

We surveyed 76 customers who had taken Hair Saviour® daily for two months or more - long enough to reflect the hair-growth cycle - tracking strength, growth, condition and thickness.

The results?

78.9% rated Hair Saviour® effective. 86.8% noticed improvement in at least one area - most often hair strength (68.4%) and condition (60.5%) - and 54.7% reported new hair growth. Notably, not one person who saw a physical hair improvement rated the product 'not at all effective'.

What This Means

Strength and condition first

68.4% saw stronger hair and 60.5% better condition.

The two most consistently reported improvements across users.

New growth is achievable

54.7% reported new hair growth.

A meaningful result, since new growth is the slowest hair benefit to appear.

Consistency is everything

Most users saw results between 4 and 8 weeks - some longer.

Hair works to its own cycle, so daily use for at least 2-3 months gives it the best chance.

Men's Health

Men's health: the concern-to-care gap

Our survey of 356 men reveals how rarely health concerns translate into action - and how wide the gap grows around stigmatised conditions.

356 respondents 2024 Cross-sectional customer survey
94% have a health concern
<34% seek any help
68% say suicide awareness falls short
Study Findings

We surveyed 356 men across 16 health domains, measuring concern, help-seeking, prostate literacy and psychological burden.

What we found:

94.1% reported at least one active health concern, yet help-seeking never exceeded 34% in any domain. The gap was widest for sexual health: just 1.4% had consulted a professional about libido. Prostate literacy was low (51.7% didn't know how to support it), and screening was rarest in the youngest men (87% of 30-40s had never been checked).

What This Means

Concern doesn't become care

94% concerned, yet under 34% seek any help in any domain.

Action lags furthest behind for stigmatised conditions.

The silent areas

Only 1.4% consulted anyone about libido, 3.7% about ED.

Despite meaningful levels of concern and worry.

Education aimed at the wrong age

87% of men aged 30–40 had never had a prostate check.

Screening is rarest where the modifiable-risk window is longest.

Skin Health

Skin concerns: prevalence, persistence and impact

Our survey of 317 adults shows skin concerns are near-universal, usually multiple, and carry a real psychosocial cost.

317 respondents 2024–2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
99.7% have a skin concern
68% have wrinkles or fine lines
62% say skin affects confidence
Study Findings

We surveyed 317 adults on the breadth of skin concerns, their psychosocial impact, and beliefs about diet and lifestyle.

What we found:

99.7% reported at least one skin concern, a mean of 3.6 each - led by wrinkles/fine lines (67.5%) and signs of ageing (61.8%). 62.1% said skin affects their confidence and 18% had skipped a social event because of it. 88% linked skin to stress and sleep, yet only 42% regularly drink two litres of water a day.

What This Means

Rarely a single issue

Mean 3.6 concerns each; 69% had three or more.

Concerns typically present together.

More than skin-deep

62% said skin affects confidence; 18% skipped a social event.

A clear psychosocial dimension.

Belief outpaces behaviour

88% link skin to stress/sleep, but only 42% hydrate adequately.

A gap nutrition and education can address.

Sleep

How poorly we're really sleeping

Our survey of 545 adults reveals widespread short, disrupted sleep - and its tight, two-way link with stress.

545 respondents 2024–2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
77% sleep under 7 hours
86% have an ongoing difficulty
75% say stress worsens their sleep
Study Findings

We surveyed 545 adults on sleep duration, the nature of their difficulties, daytime impact, and the sleep-stress relationship.

What we found:

77.4% averaged under seven hours a night and 47% under six. 85.7% reported an ongoing difficulty - most often waking through the night (60%) and not waking refreshed (53%). The daytime toll was led by low energy (67%). Sleep and stress were tightly linked: 75% said stress worsens sleep, and 43% said poor sleep itself causes anxiety.

What This Means

Maintenance, not onset

Waking through the night (60%) and unrefreshing sleep (53%) lead.

The dominant problem is staying asleep, not falling asleep.

A heavy daytime cost

Low energy (67%) and poor concentration (57%) lead the fallout.

Alongside irritability and anxiety.

A self-reinforcing loop

75% say stress worsens sleep; 43% say poor sleep causes anxiety.

Compounded by diet - pointing to integrated support.

Stress & Anxiety

The everyday weight of stress and anxiety

Our survey of 545 adults shows how common, frequent and far-reaching stress and anxiety have become.

545 respondents 2024–2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
56% report high/overwhelming stress
52% feel it every day
72% feel unsupported at work
Study Findings

We surveyed 545 adults on stress prevalence and frequency, symptoms, functional impact, and coping strategies.

What we found:

55.8% described their stress as high or overwhelming and 51.9% felt anxious or stressed daily. Poor sleep was the leading symptom (69.2%). Stress reached behaviour and work - 67% ate less healthily and 54% avoided social situations - yet 71.9% felt employers don't do enough. Lifestyle strategies such as walking and exercise were both most used and most effective.

What This Means

Frequent, not occasional

52% feel anxious or stressed every day.

Including 15% for most of the day, every day.

It changes behaviour

67% eat less healthily; 54% avoid social situations.

A self-reinforcing functional burden.

Lifestyle leads on what works

Exercise (97%) and walking outdoors (96%) rated most effective.

Outperforming alcohol and used more than medication.

Vaginal Health

Vaginal health across the lifespan

Our survey of 1,202 women reveals how prevalent, chronic and under-discussed vaginal health issues are - and where the menopausal transition changes everything.

1,202 respondents July 2024 Cross-sectional customer survey
55% report dryness or atrophy
33% have had an infection
95% say sex education fell short
Study Findings

We surveyed 1,202 women on the prevalence, recurrence and impact of vaginal health conditions, and how well current remedies perform.

What we found:

55.1% reported vaginal dryness or atrophy - half experiencing it daily or near-daily - and 32.6% had had at least one infection, mostly recurrent. 39.7% of sexually active women reported pain during sex, and 58% said their sex life was affected. Cranberry juice, the most popular remedy, was the least effective (59.3%).

What This Means

Chronic for most sufferers

Half of those with dryness feel it daily or near-daily; infections recur.

These are ongoing, not one-off, conditions.

Menopause is the turning point

Dryness onset averaged 47.5 years; issues worsen with age for 49%.

The transition is the consistent inflection point.

Popular doesn't mean effective

Cranberry juice: most used, least effective (59.3%).

A clear gap for better-evidenced options.

Weight Management

Why weight management gets harder and what women want

Our survey of 1,030 adults reveals why weight becomes so much harder to manage with age and a clear appetite for natural, evidence-based support over medication.

1,030 respondents 2024–2025 Cross-sectional customer survey
76% find weight hard to manage
69% of menopausal women find it harder
60%+ would choose a natural supplement
Study Findings

We surveyed 1,030 adults on weight perception, the barriers they face, the role of menopause and sleep, and their attitudes to GLP-1 medication versus natural supplements.

What we found:

76.1% find weight hard to manage, despite 79.3% actively trying to manage their weight, and most exercising regularly. The menopausal transition was the single biggest factor, 68.8% of peri-, meno- and postmenopausal women found weight 'a lot harder' with age (versus 44.1% of other women), concentrated in the 40s and 50s and around the middle. Cravings, sweet tooth and emotional eating outranked cost and time in challenges to managing weight, and 60.1% would choose a natural, clinically proven supplement, though 60.8% didn't realise such options exist.

What This Means

Menopause is the turning point

68.8% of menopausal women find weight management 'a lot harder' with age.

A near 25-point jump versus other women - peaking in the 40s and 50s.

It's about cravings, not willpower

64.7% cite cravings or emotional eating as their biggest barrier.

Appetite and emotion outrank practical barriers like cost and time.

Clear demand for natural support

60.1% would choose a natural supplement over GLP-1 medication.

Yet 60.8% don't realise effective options already exist.

Women's Health

How menopause reshapes gut health

Our survey of 1,526 women shows that gut health deteriorates for most women during menopause - usually beginning in perimenopause.

1,526 respondents January 2024 Cross-sectional customer survey
67% report worse gut health
73% experience bloating
79% feel a psychosocial impact
Study Findings

We surveyed 1,526 women across the menopausal transition on gut symptoms, their timing, frequency and downstream impact.

What we found:

66.8% reported noticeably worse gut health since menopausal symptoms began - typically starting in peri-menopause (58%). Bloating led (73%), experienced daily or near-daily by 77% of those affected. 79% reported a psychosocial consequence. Among gut-targeted supplements assessed, Gut Works® rated strongest (78.4% positive).

What This Means

It starts earlier than expected

58% first noticed gut changes in peri-menopause.

Often before menopause is formally established.

Persistent, not occasional

77% of bloating sufferers experience it daily or near-daily.

With a mean of 3.4 gut symptoms per woman affected.

Diet alone isn't enough

Only 11% found dietary change 'very effective'; Gut Works® led supplements at 78.4%.

Targeted support outperformed diet for most women

Women's Health

The real burden of PMS

Our survey of 265 women shows how heavy, multi-symptom and under-supported PMS really is.

265 respondents March 2023 Cross-sectional customer survey
95% have regular PMS symptoms
71% experience mood swings
77% feel unsupported at work/school
Study Findings

We surveyed 265 women on PMS symptom burden, its impact on daily life and work, and how well current coping strategies actually perform.

What we found:

95.4% reported regular PMS symptoms, a mean of 8.3 each, led by mood swings (70.5%) - also the most disruptive (39.6%). PMS affected relationships for 67.6% and caused 40.7% to take time off, yet 76.9% felt unsupported by employers or schools. No coping strategy averaged above 7/10.

What This Means

Mood leads the burden

Mood swings: most prevalent (70.5%) and most disruptive (39.6%).

Psychological symptoms dominate the experience of PMS.

It reaches work and relationships

40.7% took time off; 67.6% saw relationships affected.

The questions people
actually have

What is DRV+?

DRV+ is a UK supplement company, formerly known as DR.VEGAN®, who develop clinically-backed, naturally effective formulas with evidence-based doses, formulated by nutritionists. The DRV+ range is multi-award-winning, including Which? Magazine's highest rated Daily Multivitamin (2025) and 'Best Vegan Omega 3' (2026), and nine BBC Good Food Guide 'Star Buy' awards.

Why has DR.VEGAN® changed to DRV+?

We’ve grown a lot since DR.VEGAN® started, and DRV+ better reflects who we’ve become: an award-winning and evidence-led supplements brand, formulated by nutritionists. We’ve always used and been known as DRV on social media and in our customer service interactions, so it’s a natural evolution. The “+” is our promise of what goes into every product - the therapeutic and clinically-tested doses, the verification and 3rd party testing - and the benefits you feel. All the reasons you chose us in the first place haven’t changed.

What does DRV+ stand for?

Designed. Researched. Verified. That's what DRV stands for, and it's how we've made every product since day one as DR.VEGAN®. Our founding promise is right there in the initials. Evidenced-based formulas, clinically tested doses, no additives, developed by nutritionists, and 3rd party tested. And the '+'? That's your benefit - the extra energy, the better sleep, the difference you actually feel. New name, same DNA.

Are DRV+ supplements vegan?

Yes, DRV+ supplements are 100% vegan, they have always been vegan and always will be vegan.

Where are DRV+ supplements made?

All DRV+ supplements are designed, made, and formulated by nutritionists in the UK.

What makes DRV+ different from other supplement brands?

Unlike other supplement brands who don't have in-house nutritionists and do not cater for the demands of nutritionists, DRV+ supplements are designed and formulated for nutritionists requiring evidence-based supplements at clinically-backed doses for recommending supplements to their clients, and DRV+ makes these supplements availble to consumers through its own website, health food stores, Whole Foods, Holland & Barrett, Waitrose and other leading retailers.  

Does DRV+ use evidence-backed ingredients?

Yes, DRV+ supplements are formulated by nutritionists who review all ingredients for their clinical research and evidence of efficacy.

Are DRV+ supplements free from unnecessary fillers and additives?

DRV+ supplements are renowned for containing no additives, fillers, binding agents or artificial sweeteners. DRV+ supplements only contain active ingredients and are free of any additives. 

Uncompromising quality

Formulated by expert nutritionists, our supplements are made in the UK by specialist manufacturers certified by BRCGS, GMP, and US FDA.
