Epetōme, the fast-growing gut health company founded by nutritionist and social media influencer Emily English, has secured a multi-million pound investment.
The funding, led by Active Partners and Redrice Ventures, will enable the fast-growing gut health brand to scale globally.
Founded in 2023, Epetōme has experienced rapid growth, building a highly loyal consumer base alongside celebrity backing.
English said: “I truly believe our gut health underpins everything, and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved over the past year. This funding marks an exciting next step for Epetōme, and it is only the beginning.”
Epetōme’s ambition is to build the UK’s leading gut health company and the capital will enable the brand to increase investment into clinical testing across both probiotics and prebiotics.
Jimmy Hill, co-founder and executive chair of Epetōme, said: “The growth of Epetōme over the past 12 months has truly been amazing to be a part of.
“We are proud to announce Active Partners and Redrice Ventures as our new business partners on this exciting project of building the biggest gut health company in the UK.
“We can now double down on our investment into science, international growth and our already brilliant team here at Epetōme.”
