Meet the Team
As our founder Mike Explains:
“As previous head of a company that researched natural products and developed them to licensed medicines alongside leading figure such as Nobel Laureate in Medicine, Sir James Black, I’ve always sought to deliver real science in nutrition as a fundamental. Our team will continue to develop the data and systems that are the basis of Vitcheck to ensure users get the most up to date and accurate information relating to this science.
With so many fad products and supplements on the market, often with limited supporting evidence, I have developed a platform which enables anyone to be confident in their quest for nutritional needs.
We don’t just claim to have supporting research but we actually provide it for you alongside each and every nutritional recommendation Vitcheck makes.
We all live in a world where convention dictates ‘you can get everything you need from a healthy diet‘ but that ill-defined statement fails to take into account that not everyone is the same.
Our research has always concentrated on real life situations where this mantra fails to deliver.
Whether that be in situations such as weight loss surgery - where people unequivocally need supplementation for the rest of their lives - or conditions where the body simply fails to use nutrients effectively, or indeed when the food we eat may not contain what we’ve been led to believe it does, these have always been issues that have fascinated me.
In fact, that last topic lead to my research on the low levels of healthy micronutrients in apples to be selected by the Royal Pharmaceutical Society to promote their scientific conference.”
Research over the years
The creation of over the years Vitcheck coincided with the publication of Founder Michael Wakeman's Book 'Medicated Malnourishment', which is the culmination of his research carried out to complete a PHD examining the effects that medications can have on our nutritional health and wellbeing
