Today, 21st April 2018, Vitabiotics, the UK’s number one vitamin company, is honoured to announce The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation has been awarded to its Perfectil beauty vitamins range. This is the first and only time that a vitamin company has received the award for innovation on two occasions. It marks the fourth Queen’s Award that Vitabiotics has received, including The Queen’s Award for Enterprise in Innovation for its Pregnacare vitamin research in 2013.
Vitabiotics Perfectil is the UK’s number one nutritional supplement for skin, hair, and nails. It represents multiple innovations in the field of cosmetic science and nutrition, underpinned by a portfolio of granted and filed patents, as well as being the first choice of beauty experts and celebrities including Nicole Scherzinger.
A groundbreaking Perfectil clinical trial1 showed for the first time that supplementation can help to protect against the ageing effects of harsh winter weather on the skin. The pioneering work led to Vitabiotics’ founder and chairman Dr Kartar Lalvani OBE receiving an honorary professorship from the University of Franche-Comté. This was the first time the award of professorship was given by the University to a British scientist in the field of dermatology.
Commenting on the new Queen’s Award, Vitabiotics President Dr Kartar Lalvani OBE said: “Vitabiotics is immensely honoured to once again receive the Queen’s Award for Innovation, in recognition of our unique and highly successful Perfectil research and innovation. This accolade is a testament to Vitabiotics and I would like to thank all of our dedicated staff, customers, suppliers and research partners for their continued support.”
Vitabiotics’ CEO Tej Lalvani said: “Founded by my pioneering scientist father, Dr Kartar Lalvani in 1971, Vitabiotics has consistently been at the forefront of nutritional science and research. Through his inspiration I have over the last 20 years focused on developing effective & novel marketing strategies to drive growth in the UK & global export markets whilst also introducing innovative and leading new product ranges to our portfolio. My elder brother Professor Ajit Lalvani, the highly accomplished medical scientist and inventor, has over the many years helped to shape our growth strategy and boost our research programs providing valuable background support to our increasing range of products. We are all immensely proud to have yet again received this incredibly prestigious award. Vitabiotics has been fortunate enough to have now won four queen’s awards in total, the first two for enterprise in export and the latter two for innovation which is the first time any vitamin company has achieved.”
