Ritual
Ritual is a health brand that believes in simplicity, traceability, and ingredients that work best in the body. The company's debut product, Essential for Women is a reimagined multivitamin for women. The vitamin focuses on the 9 essential nutrients they believe are foundational for women’s health, editing out many of the nutrients in a typical multivitamin that they believe most American women are already getting enough of. Ritual is also vegan, allergen & gluten-free, dairy-free, GMO-free, and manufactured in the USA. The vitamins use “beadlet-in-oil” technology that allows them to keep nutrients in their original forms and closer to what is found in food.
