STEADFAST NUTRITION

AMAN PURI- A HEALTHCARE PROVIDER
At the starting of any venture, an entrepreneur observes- so does Aman Puri.
Steadfast Nutrition’s parent company, Steadfast MediShield has successfully provided medicines since 2008 for patients with chronic kidney disease and those undergoing dialysis and transplant. In the last decade and a half, Steadfast has closely worked with various doctors and patients and understand the agony a patient and his family undergoes— especially in case of organ failure. A reason for this- particularly among the youth- was an improper diet and improper use of supplements. Aman Puri says that in 2017, 80% of the supplements in the market were either duplicated or adulterated. The sensitivity towards patients led to the launch of Steadfast Nutrition, which makes organ-friendly, steroid-free nutritional supplements. Steadfast Nutrition ensures that its range of products can be taken by anyone and does not lead to any short term or long term side effect.
THE FACTOR BEHIND THE SUCCESS OF STEADFAST NUTRITION
Steadfast’s USP is its organ-friendly range of supplements in single-serving sachets. It was the first domestic brand to provide portable and scoopless servings in 2017, revolutionising an industry dominated by conventional supplements in box packaging.
