Yellow Wood Partners has agreed to acquire Nestlé's vitamins, minerals and supplements platform, called comprehensive Health by Nestlé, for $1 billion, according to a Sept. 1, 2026 announcement carried by PR Newswire and reported by The Wall Street Journal. The deal is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the first half of 2027.
The platform includes Nature's Bounty, Nuun, Osteo Bi-Flex and Gard, per the PR Newswire announcement. Nature's Bounty is described in that announcement as the second-largest overall vitamins, minerals and supplements brand and the leading women's health brand in the United States. The Wall Street Journal reported the portfolio comprises seven brands, including Sisu, with combined sales of $1.2 billion last year, and said the business is primarily U.S.-based but also present in Canada and China.
What the deal includes, and what remains unclear
Yellow Wood said it plans to operate the acquired brands as a standalone business. The company's announcement does not address the status of other Nestlé supplement brands, such as Solgar and Pure Encapsulations, leaving open whether this transaction affects any of Nestlé's other holdings in the category, according to Nutritional Outlook's Sept. 2 report.
In its announcement, Yellow Wood said it works with more than 40 household consumer brands, including Q-tips, Chapstick, Suave and Dr. Scholl's, and cited those brands as examples of carveouts where it has applied its Consumer Operating DNA model. Neither company's public statements disclose the recent sales or profitability of the platform being sold, and the companies have not detailed manufacturing or supplier arrangements for the brands involved.
