Company profile

researched Aug 2026

Heights is a London, UK-based consumer supplements company selling a range of daily formulas for brain, body and gut health directly to consumers online. Its product line includes Vitals⁺, a multivitamin with 20 nutrients including blueberry extract and an omega-3 coating; Biotic⁺, a probiotic combining seven bacterial strains with zinc; Magnesium⁺, based on magnesium glycinate; Thrive⁺, containing a NAD⁺ precursor and CoQ10; Calmer⁺, a herbal relaxation formula; and Hydrate⁺, an electrolyte drink. Products are sold as 30-day supplies (for example Vitals⁺ and Biotic⁺ at £40 and Magnesium⁺ at £20 per month) with bundle discounts of up to 20%.

The company positions its formulas around delayed-release capsule technology, bioavailable ingredient forms, and vegan formulations free from fillers, allergens, GMOs and colourants. Heights states it invests in independent in vivo and in vitro research: an eight-week placebo-controlled trial of Biotic⁺ in 33 healthy participants, a 12-week third-party study of Vitals⁺ in 32 healthy people (and a 12-week double-blind randomised placebo-controlled trial reported for Vitals⁺), and a 14-day trial of Calmer⁺ with 88 members of its community "Heights Lab". A scientific advisory board and staff include neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart, consultant dietitian Sophie Medlin, Dr Harry Jarrett as Director of Science & Research, physiologist Oliver Patrick as Chief Wellbeing Officer, and academics from Ulster University, the University of Exeter, UEA and NNEdPro. Heights is a certified B Corp and describes itself as the official performance supplement supplier to the BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team, with formulas batch-tested and Informed Sport certified.

Founding story

Co-founders Dan Murray-Serter and Joel Freeman, who are close friends, each experienced health problems — Murray-Serter with insomnia, anxiety and burnout, and Freeman with stress-related gastrointestinal issues — and were guided by medical professionals toward nutrition-based approaches. After a dietitian recommended DHA omega-3, a B-vitamin complex and blueberry extract, Murray-Serter reported his sleep improving within weeks, prompting the pair to read scientific literature on nutrition and mental health and to launch a newsletter, "The Sunday Supplement", translating the research for a general audience. As the subscriber base grew, they concluded that consumers needed simpler, correctly dosed, additive-free supplements rather than a cupboard of separate products, and partnered with neuroscientist Dr Tara Swart and consultant dietitian Sophie Medlin to develop Vitals⁺, the company's first product; Biotic⁺ followed as the second.

Business model

Direct-to-consumer sale of branded supplements through the company's own e-commerce sites, with single products priced per 30-day supply and a subscription-style "build your routine" bundling offer providing up to 20% savings.

Product sales of monthly supplement supplies (e.g. £40 for a 30-day supply of Vitals⁺ or Biotic⁺, £20 for Magnesium⁺), with discounts for customers who bundle multiple products into a routine.

Traction

Company sites cite more than 150,000 customers, a 4.8/5 average rating from over 14,000 reviews, and product-level review counts of 6,271 for Vitals⁺, 2,639 for Biotic⁺ and 1,827 for Magnesium⁺. Heights states it won Condé Nast Traveller Beauty Awards 2026 recognition in wellness and was voted top product in sleep, magnesium, multivitamin and electrolyte drink categories.

Latest developments

The current product range spans Vitals⁺, Biotic⁺, Magnesium⁺, Thrive⁺, Calmer⁺, Hydrate⁺ and Bloom, alongside multi-product bundles. Heights promotes its role as official performance supplement supplier to the BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team and cites a Condé Nast Traveller Beauty Awards 2026 win in wellness, plus trial results for Calmer⁺ from a 14-day study with 88 Heights Lab members.

Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies

Market position

Competes in the crowded consumer supplements market by emphasising third-party clinical and laboratory testing, published trial results, and an advisory board of clinicians and academics; the company describes Vitals⁺ as the first RCT-backed multivitamin in UK adults and cites 150,000+ customers and a 4.8/5 rating from over 14,000 reviews.

Positions against supplements it characterises as using cheap ingredients, untested formulas and fillers, by combining delayed-release delivery, clinically tested doses, vegan and filler-free formulations, dietitian and neuroscientist-led product development, and B Corp certification.

Technology

Delayed-release capsule technology intended to deliver ingredients further along the digestive tract; the company reports SHIME® in vitro testing showing Biotic⁺ capsules delivered over 50x more live bacteria than standard probiotics and degraded nine times more slowly than standard capsules. Formulas use bioavailable ingredient forms such as magnesium glycinate and a NAD⁺ precursor, and are produced in small batches, batch-tested and Informed Sport certified.

Go-to-market

Online direct sales via heights.com and yourheights.com with bundle-based routines; content marketing rooted in the founders' "Sunday Supplement" newsletter and community programme (Heights Lab); endorsements and press coverage; sports sponsorship as official performance supplement supplier to the BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team; and consumer awards recognition.

Consumers seeking evidence-based supplements for brain, gut, sleep, relaxation, hydration and healthy ageing; the founders describe their customers as intelligent and ambitious people who want transparency on ingredients and dosing. The company also supplies athletes and teams, including the BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team.

Geography

Headquartered in London, United Kingdom, selling online with a US-facing storefront (yourheights.com/en-us) in addition to its UK site.

History

Nordic9 reports Heights was founded in 2013 by Dan Murray-Serter and Joel Freeman as a London-based food supplements producer, initially known for a "Smart Supplement" designed with neuroscientists and dietitians. The company completed an equity crowdfunding campaign on Seedrs that closed at the end of 2020, announced in January 2021. Its first product was the Vitals⁺ multivitamin, developed with Dr Tara Swart and Sophie Medlin, followed by the Biotic⁺ probiotic; the range has since expanded to include Magnesium⁺, Thrive⁺, Calmer⁺ and Hydrate⁺.

Risks & controversies

The founders acknowledge operating in a supplement market they describe as oversaturated with products that do not deliver stated ingredients or doses, creating a trust deficit; several of the company's efficacy claims rest on small self-reported or internally run studies (for example 33 participants for Biotic⁺, 32 for Vitals⁺ and 88 community members for Calmer⁺).
