Garda Vita

What Garda Vita does

Garda Vita is a Santa Ana, California-based nutritional supplement company founded in 1994 that develops and markets premium, nature-based proprietary formulas targeting wellness, vitality, and longevity. The firm is privately held, employs 251–500 people, and is the parent of the U.S. Doctors' Clinical consumer brand, which positions its portfolio around doctor-recommended, USA-manufactured, gluten-free, third-party-tested, and clinically tested formulations. An advisory board of physicians spanning cardiology, neurology, gastroenterology, ophthalmology, and immunology provides clinical credibility for the product line.

The active product portfolio spans six consumer health categories — Aging Support, Bone & Joint Support, Brain Support, Heart Health, Respiratory Support, and Prostate Support — with flagship SKUs including Arthro-7 (joint health, $29.99 entry / $179.94 multi-pack), NeoGene (anti-aging, rebranded from GH3), Mega MSM, Prostata, and BrainPower Advanced. Go-to-market is primarily direct-to-consumer e-commerce through a Shopify storefront (usdoctorsclinical.com), complemented by a bundles collection, sale pricing mechanics, and embedded video customer testimonials; pricing is not publicly disclosed at a corporate level, and the input contains no enterprise or B2B revenue mechanics.

The input also references an Affiliated Managers Group (AMG) partnership disclosed on AMG's Q4 2025 earnings call, expected to contribute $20 million to adjusted EBITDA as part of AMG's pivot toward alternatives (now ~60% of EBITDA). The source material explicitly notes that the 'Garda' entity cited in AMG's commentary may be a separate AMG affiliate rather than Garda Vita; this attribution should therefore be treated cautiously and not relied upon as a confirmed strategic event for the supplement company itself.
