Aquilea

What Aquilea does

Aquilea is a Spain-based natural health supplements brand founded in 1970 and operated as a wholly-owned label of Uriach Consumer Healthcare, S.L., headquartered in Sant Cugat del Vallès, Barcelona. The brand markets a portfolio of more than 20 OTC products organized into eight consumer health categories: sleep/rest, digestion, respiratory, relaxation, vitamins and minerals, mobility, women's health, and infusions. The product range spans capsules, gummies, sublingual sprays, effervescent tablets, sticks, and drinkable vials, with several SKUs differentiated by proprietary delivery technologies including Tricapa triple-layer tablets, Bicapa dual-layer tablets, Melotime-patterned sustained-release melatonin, Retard sustained-release, and a nano-emulsion sublingual spray. Selected digestive and probiotic SKUs are classified as medical devices rather than food supplements.

Aquilea generates revenue by selling these branded natural supplements primarily through physical pharmacies in Spain, with reported presence in over 8,000 pharmacy points and additional distribution through the brand's own e-commerce storefront and online pharmacy platforms. The go-to-market motion is pharmacy-channel-led, relying on pharmacist recommendation as the principal demand-generation lever, supported by an educational content hub, social media presence, email newsletters, and SEO. The brand self-positions as the leading natural supplements label in Spain, with 50+ years of category experience and 35+ efficacy studies cited in support of its "scientifically validated doses" claim. The firmographics file lists 1-10 employees, which almost certainly reflects only the brand-marketing team embedded within the larger Uriach group, since Uriach Consumer Healthcare is the registered operating entity holding all corporate, contact, and compliance functions.
