Ardian signs an agreement to acquire a stake in IVB Wellness Lab, a fast‑growing and innovative supplements brand in Spain

IVB Wellness Lab (“IVB”), a leading Spanish company in the research, development and distribution of science‑backed dietary supplements, welcomes Ardian, a global private investment firm, as a minority shareholder.

Founded in 2021 by Dr. Isabel Viña Bas, Valerio Soto Ferri, and Carlos Viña Bas, IVB has established itself as one of Spain’s most dynamic dietary supplement brands operating in a market driven by sustainable consumer trends around lifestyle and healthcare. Headquartered in Valencia, IVB differentiates through specific ingredient sourcing and a unique approach including clinical oversight and hospital partnerships.

Built on an asset‑light model, IVB offers a variety of products spanning essential dietary supplements (e.g., magnesium, omega 3) and advanced formulations targeting areas of general wellness such as women’s health. Initially launched as a digital‑first D2C (direct-to-consumer) brand, IVB has developed a strong and engaged community, and experienced industry-leading revenue growth. IVB has also quickly expanded into the pharmacy channel, already reaching c.2,000 pharmacies across Spain.  

This partnership marks an important milestone in IVB’s growth journey, aiming to scale its operations in Spain, reinforce data-driven D2C growth, support its international expansion and strengthen its innovation capabilities.

Ardian will closely work with the co-founders and management team and leverage its expertise in scaling high‑growth consumer and health businesses to strengthen IVB’s commercial and operational foundations. 
The transaction is expected to close in Q1 2026.

“IVB Wellness Lab stands out with product innovation designed to meet specific consumer needs, leveraging a strategic omnichannel distribution. We are proud to partner with this seasoned, ambitious and complementary founding team, to support IVB in achieving its growth objectives in Spain and abroad, leveraging Ardian’s talent network, health & digital expertise and international resources.” Alexis Saada, Head of Growth & Senior Managing Director, Ardian and Frédéric Quéru, Managing Director, Ardian.

“Since its inception, IVB has been redefining its category with unique science-anchored formulations, an authentic and highly engaged community and disciplined omnichannel execution. We're excited to partner with Ardian on this next phase as they will bring valuable expertise to further support IVB’s European development.” Eléonore Oudea, Founding Partner, Label Capital and Gaspard de Sarnez, Founding Partner, Label Capital.

“We are extremely proud of how IVB Wellness Lab has evolved, driven by product excellence, scientific research, community engagement and disciplined execution. Partnering with Ardian marks a pivotal milestone for IVB and allows us to strengthen our foundations while accelerating our ambition in Spain and abroad. We look forward to building a long-term partnership that supports sustainable growth and preserves our mission that people "know more, fear less, and choose better".” Isabel Viña, Valerio Soto & Carlos Viña, Co-Founders, IVB Lab.
