Bbetter on the treatment of Covid-19

Bbetter helped in managing the disease by supplying Vitamin D3 and multivitamins in the market during its shortage. One of the post-Covid effects was lack of sleep (insomnia) so that is why Ashwagandha and Bbetter sleep (melatonin-based products) were effective during Covid helping people to get good and sufficient sleep. Even after Covid, people have returned back and taken it once again as they found it to be very useful.

USP of Bbetter

Bbetter is a horizontal player. They want to cater to the issues of the entire family. Every batch of their medicines goes to a third party and goes to NABL accredited labs for heavy metals tests to ensure the topmost level of safety. They furthermore send the entire details to their customers keeping the process visible to them which builds trust and the safety part is also addressed. Because of this Bbetter finds better return purchase rates.

Funds used to scale up Bbetter

Bbetter is a Vc-based company and has done a seed round raising 1.5 million. Funds will be likely raised over the next few months because they are looking at a few categories which have huge potential like Adult nutrition.
