About

Care/of (takecareof.com) launched last year as a funded startup in the wellness space here to help people live healthier. We offer personalized vitamins & supplements, but we’re not your average supplements brand. Forget the confusing vitamin aisle or the late-night supplements infomercial - we’re creating something different. We make our own line of products, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and more, and offer them online via a convenient monthly subscription. Our technology makes it possible for customers to get personalized supplements, tailored to their diet, health goals, and lifestyle, in customized daily packs. Our aim is to help people feel empowered and make the right choices for their health, and to make it brilliantly easy, too. Join the team by checking out www.takecareof.com/careers
