Products
The Swisse vitamin and supplement product range caters to all stages of life – from pre-conception supplements for men and women, to infants, children, teenagers and adults of various ages to the elderly. Swisse Ultivite multivitamin products are unique in that they were the first products targeted to gender and specific age ranges globally. Swisse drives product innovation from its global headquarters in Melbourne, maintaining a laser focus on quality. In recent years it has released products in a number of consumption formats, such as liquids, vegetarian-friendly capsules, dissolvable powders and effervescents with natural fruit flavourings, to reflect various consumers’ preferences. Swisse aims to avoid added sugars, and work to ensure products are as ‘clean’ as possible in formulating for bioavailability and minimising excipients. Swisse has also recently released an innovative product range combining probiotics with a blend of key nutrients and herbs for additional support, as well as a range using Australian hemp seed oil, reflecting its position at the forefront of the global industry for health and wellness. Swisse Beauty's 'Healthy Beautiful' range launched in early 2020.
Legal issues
In 2013 Avni Sali, the father of former CEO Radek Sali, sued the Australian Broadcasting Corporation for defamation over a The Checkout segment on Swisse products which claimed that he manipulated clinical tests of a Swisse appetite suppressant to benefit the company. The ABC initially stood by the segment, but the case was eventually settled out of court.
Spokespeople
Swisse's global ambassadors are Chris Hemsworth, Nicole Kidman and Elsa Pataky. Other ambassadors include Ricky Ponting and Ashley Hart. Indian stars Nushrat Bharucha and Kriti Kharbanda supported Swisse's launch in the Indian market in early 2020. https://www.prnewswire.com/in/news-releases/melbourne-s-swisse-launches-globally-acclaimed-wellness-products-in-india-883700090.html
