About Alo Health Labs

My Story

After thirteen years navigating fertility treatments, experiencing pregnancy, and now approaching perimenopause, I've lived through the full spectrum of women's health challenges. This journey taught me something crucial: getting the right nutrition during these life stages shouldn't feel like another chore on an already overwhelming to-do list.

That's why I created Alo Health Labs.

The Inspiration

During a visit to Japan, I fell in love with nutritional jelly drinks – they were fun, convenient, and actually enjoyable to consume. I wondered: why couldn't functional nutrition feel this approachable? Why were we stuck choosing between chalky tablets, forgettable capsules, or powders that never quite mix right?

I wanted to bring that same sense of delight to women's nutrition in the UK. Something you'd actually look forward to taking. Something that fits seamlessly into your day, whether you're rushing between meetings, managing morning sickness, or simply trying to stay on top of your health.

Where Healthcare Meets Real Life

My background as a healthcare service design consultant has given me a unique perspective. Having designed services for the NHS that reached over 50 million people and transformed clinical trials at AstraZeneca, I understand both the science behind nutrition and the human experience of actually trying to stay healthy in a busy world.

I've seen firsthand how even the best health interventions fail when they don't fit into people's real lives. That's why Alo Health Labs isn't just about the right nutrients – it's about making those nutrients genuinely easy and enjoyable to take.

Why Alo?

Alo means light in Bengali. After years of feeling weighed down by treatments, hormones, and the mental load of managing my health, I craved that feeling of lightness again. Lightness in my body. Lightness in my mind. The kind of lightness that comes when supporting your health feels effortless rather than burdensome.

Our Mission

Alo Health Labs is here to transform functional nutrition from a daily obligation into a moment of self-care you actually enjoy. We're starting with jelly-based supplements that taste as good as they are good for you, designed specifically for women navigating fertility, pregnancy, and perimenopause.

Because after everything I've been through, I believe deeply that supporting your health should feel less like homework and more like treating yourself – helping you find that lightness too.
