Quix Labs was founded to rethink how adult smokers approach change. For many, patches, gums, and lozenges don’t address the full experience of smoking—and that’s where we come in. Our flagship product, Quixotic, is a reusable smoking alternative designed for adult users who want a structured, familiar, and flexible option. Unlike traditional products, Quixotic maintains the hand-to-mouth ritual many smokers rely on, while offering a tapered nicotine pod system with four clearly labeled strengths—including zero. Pharmacists across the UK are increasingly turning to Quixotic as a preferred recommendation when standard products haven’t worked. With no buttons, no refilling, and no complex setup, it’s simple to use and easy to understand—making it ideal for those seeking a more manageable switch. Available exclusively through pharmacies and the Quix Labs website, Quixotic is designed to support a shift in habits, not replace them with new ones. And with Quitters Club, our partnered digital community platform, users can access helpful resources and peer support along the way. Now available throughout the UK and launching soon in Ireland and the EU, Quix Labs is proud to offer a structured, responsible alternative built for real-world use—wherever you are in your journey.

Khalo is pioneering the integration of ancient Ayurvedic wisdom into modern kitchens. Founded by Ankita, who discovered the profound connection between food and wellness through her own health journey, Khalo was born out of a desire to make holistic living accessible to everyone. While working in the beauty industry, Ankita realized that true wellness goes beyond skin-deep—it begins with what we put into our bodies. This insight led her to delve into Ayurveda, one of the oldest healing systems in the world, which emphasizes the importance of balancing the mind, body, and spirit through food. At Khalo, we craft Ayurvedic cooking pastes designed to support gut health and enhance overall well-being. Our products make it easy to incorporate a diverse array of herbs and spices into your daily meals, turning everyday cooking into a nourishing and transformative ritual. We believe in the power of food to heal and transform lives. Our mission is to foster a holistic approach to wellness that is not only accessible but also enjoyable and deeply nourishing. Because at Khalo, we know that how we eat is how we live.

At FoodNerd, were on a mission to redefine what kids eat today, tomorrow, and in the future. We make a wide range of tasty foods, but underneath all that deliciousness, we’re also setting new standards for nutrient density. We believe that parents should never have to compromise their childrens well-being because of busy schedules or a lack of great pre-packaged options. Thats why weve dedicated ourselves to creating nibbles that are positively brimming with the goodness of nature’s best ingredients. Our secret? Through meticulous research and development, weve harnessed a groundbreaking method (we call it Nutrient Lock Cold Processing) that preserves the natural vitality of fruits, vegetables, and sprouted seeds, ensuring that up to 98% of the nutrients remain intact. This also means that we don’t need to add any “filler” ingredients that cancel out the benefits of the best nutrients. We think it’s pretty remarkable science, but the most exciting bit goes beyond the nutritional excellence — our favorite part is that our kids love to eat something that’s so good for their future selves. Our products are designed to seamlessly fit into the ups and downs of parenthood. Whether its snack time on the go, or dinner time where you’re like “where did the day go?” our healthy creations are there to support you. At FoodNerd, we believe that the healthy growth and development of our kids should go hand in hand with scientific rigor, tasty delight, and the kind of love for little ones that would make one stop at nothing in the pursuit to revolutionize how food gets made for the next generation.
