Business deals in the health and wellness sector are thriving as companies work to broaden their offerings, embrace innovation, and maintain an edge in a market shaped by shifting consumer priorities. Mergers and acquisitions have emerged as a central strategy, with global conglomerates and category leaders acquiring emerging and niche wellness brands to access new demographics and align with high-growth trends such as functional nutrition, mental health, fitness tech, and holistic self-care. Strategic partnerships – whether between wellness brands and healthcare providers, fitness platforms, or high-profile athletes – are also becoming more common, leveraging trusted voices and communities to boost engagement and customer loyalty.
At the same time, private equity and venture capital firms are increasingly targeting high-potential health and wellness startups, drawn to their scalable models and disruptive approaches to preventative health, longevity, and personalized care. Cross-industry collaborations, such as alliances between wellness companies and technology innovators, are also accelerating breakthroughs in areas like wearable health monitoring, telehealth integration, and data-driven wellness programs. These deals underscore the sector’s rapid evolution and its drive to meet growing demand for solutions that blend physical, mental, and digital well-being.
With this backdrop, here is a tracker of the most recent mergers, acquisitions, and investments in the health, wellness, and fitness space …
Aug. 14, 2025 – THG Group Sells Claremont Ingredients for £103M
THG Group, owner of MyProtein, has agreed to sell its Claremont Ingredients business to international flavour specialist Nactarome for £103 million. Claremont, a UK-based flavor manufacturing and development lab serving sports nutrition, bakery, and beverage sectors, joined THG Nutrition in 2020 to accelerate MyProtein’s global licensing and new product development efforts. THG said the deal delivers a “significant return” through cash generation and sale proceeds, while preserving a long-term supply relationship with Nactarome.
“Claremont has been a huge success, building MyProtein’s global licensing franchise from a standing start,” said THG CEO Matthew Moulding. “The level of interest reflects the quality of the business and the value embedded across THG’s portfolio.” Nactarome, majority-owned by TA Associates, operates in nine European countries and said the deal marks its entry into sports nutrition, complementing its flavour and ingredient expertise.
Aug. 8, 2025 – Ditto Daily Raises £1.35M Pre-Seed
U.K.-based Ditto Daily has raised £1.35 million ($1.72 million) in pre-seed funding to expand its science-backed Cycle Supplement for menstrual symptoms. Led by Eka Ventures with participation from Jean-Baptiste Wautier, the round will fund clinical research, product innovation, and channel growth. Co-developed with Dr. Anita Mitra, the supplement uses “beadlet-in-oil” nutrient delivery for enhanced absorption and has seen strong uptake since its launch four months ago. A recent clinical trial showed 88% of participants reported reduced symptom severity.
“For too long, there has been a huge disconnect between what science understands and the solutions available,” said founder and nutrition scientist Alice van der Schoot. “This funding allows us to accelerate our research and deliver more evidence-based solutions to the billions of women who need them.”
Jul. 8, 2025 – Othership Raises $8.5M to Expand Wellness Clubs
Othership, the immersive wellness brand blending sauna, cold plunge, and breathwork, has closed an $8.5 million SAFE note to fuel its New York City expansion. The round includes strategic backing from Rocana Ventures, Vine Ventures, Winklevoss Capital, Blake Mycoskie, Kerry Washington, NBA star Bradley Beal, and Devon Lévesque. CEO Robbie Bent clarified that reports citing an $11.3 million raise were inaccurate.
Following the success of its Flatiron location, Othership will open a new Williamsburg club this fall, with a 13,000-square-foot flagship to follow. The upcoming space will double the size of its current offering and introduce a “bathing wing” with steam rooms, warm pools, 1:1 emotional therapies, and expanded class programming.
“We’re evolving to meet member needs,” said Bent. “There’s a natural opportunity to bring emotional wellness into the traditional bathhouse model.”
