Our Story

We all live in a world where convention dictates “you can get everything you need from a healthy diet” that ill-defined, and mythical beast that fails to take into account that not everyone is the same. However, my research has always concentrated on real life situations where this mantra fails to deliver.

Whether that be in situations such as weight loss surgery, where people unequivocally need supplementation for the rest of their lives, or conditions where the body simply fails to use nutrients effectively, or indeed the food we eat may not contain what we’ve been led to believe it does, these have always been issues that have fascinated me.

In fact, the last topic led to my research on the levels of healthy micronutrients in apples to be selected by The Royal Pharmaceutical Society to promote their scientific conference.

Vitmedics is the outcome of 5 dedicated years of research and the publication of Medicated Malnourishment by our founder Mike Wakeman.

Our database includes over 3000 oral licensed medications available in the UK-both prescription and over-the-counter, by generic and brand name. Vitmedics has a unique and industry leading tool which can quantitatively determine the single or cumulative impacts that medications may have on nutritional status.

You might not have thought about the latter, but in the UK alone, there are over 1.1 Billion prescriptions issued each year, of which 390 million are for the top 20 medications of which 84% of these impacts directly in some way on nutrient status.

When it comes to supplementation there's so much to choose from, it's hard to know where to start.

At Vitmedics we make it simple.

First and foremost, we will always recommend dietary improvements first, but in some cases of nutrient deficiency a supplement is essential. If we detect a clear deficiency, we will guide you on which supplements are best suited for your needs.

So take our Vitcheck assessment and find out which supplements your body really needs.
