“We are pleased to support HGGC on this latest addition to their portfolio,” said Ryan Simpson from Antares Capital. “Nutraceutical has a strong market position and a loyal customer base driven by the strength of brands it offers. We look forward to working closely with them and HGGC in this next phase of their growth.”
