And so, tasked with this mission and calling on Yogi\u2019s extensive background in molecular biology and chemistry, as well as the help of his tech-savvy son, Adrian Patel, <a href=\"https:\/\/nariveda.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nariveda<\/a> was born. Read on to learn how this RangeMe Verified brand is helping consumers rethink wellness while achieving retail success.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Making Ayurveda accessible<\/b><br \/>\nAyurveda is Sanskrit for \u201cthe science of life,\u201d and, according to Patel, it\u2019s an extremely complex field. Each of the seven elixirs in Nariveda\u2019s current line is equally complex, packed with more than 100 plant-based nutrients in order to provide the best health benefits possible. However, this complexity can be an obstacle for consumers interested in Ayurveda. That\u2019s where Nariveda comes in.<br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3758 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-06-at-10.01.44-AM-1-271x300.png?auto=format%2Ccompress\" alt=\"\" width=\"321\" height=\"355\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are disrupting the Ayurvedic space,\u201d Patel explains. \u201cWhen you learn about Ayurveda, you\u2019re immediately overwhelmed. Everything is in Sanskrit, the books are thousands of pages long.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To combat the confusion a lot of consumers experience, Nariveda has made their products, and Ayurveda, easy to understand. \u201cWhat we\u2019ve done is take the complexity away and make it extremely simple, so that the consumer is not overwhelmed,\u201d Patel says. With this approach, consumers can more easily reap the benefits of Ayurveda through Nariveda\u2019s product offering.<\/p>\n<p>With their laboratory based in Sedona, Arizona, the popularity of the father-son duo\u2019s wellness elixirs grew by word-of-mouth, and the lab now draws a crowd of devoted customers who line up outside each day to buy their products. While Nariveda enjoys selling products directly out of their lab and through their website, they felt ready to get in front of bigger retailers and widen their reach.<\/p>\n<p><b>Landing LuckyVitamin<\/b><br \/>\nPatel\u2019s background in tech meant he was eager to explore online avenues to promote Nariveda and get their products in stores. When he heard about RangeMe Premium and the opportunity to expose the brand to more retailers, it was a no-brainer to sign up and get Verified. And sure enough, just a few weeks later, LuckyVitamin reached out to request samples.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3741 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/nariveda-ayurvedic-elixirs-foundersII-276x300.jpg?auto=format%2Ccompress\" alt=\"\" width=\"335\" height=\"364\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Patel recalls how excited he was that RangeMe was working for Nariveda, especially because he was able to relay the success to his father, who was initially reluctant to spend money on online options like RangeMe. \u201cHe\u2019s really about extending the value of a dollar, so he was really apprehensive. When the LuckyVitamin email came in, I called him and he was overjoyed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal moved forward quickly and Nariveda was soon preparing to ship their products to LuckyVitamin for sale. Patel attributes this fast success to the growing popularity of Ayurveda.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is unique, and it doesn\u2019t exist anywhere else,\u201d Patel says of Nariveda\u2019s offering, and he is confident that retailers will agree. Indeed, the field of Ayurveda is a fast-growing one, and LuckyVitamin has already restocked Nariveda\u2019s products multiple times. As the market continues to grow, Nariveda is perfectly positioned to continue their retail success.<\/p>\n<p><b>Next up for Nariveda<\/b><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-3758 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/rangeme-blog-images.imgix.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Screen-Shot-2018-06-06-at-2.40.33-PM-273x300.png?auto=format%2Ccompress\" alt=\"\" width=\"265\" height=\"291\" \/><br \/>\nYogi and Patel are currently focused on diversifying the Nariveda range beyond their drinkable elixirs to include more travel-friendly options like capsules and powders, and expanding to more retailers as their offering grows. Ultimately, Nariveda hopes to keep making Ayurveda simple and accessible to a wider audience through their unique combination of science and spirituality, and help as many people as possible achieve their wellness goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What started as a spiritual trip to India led this father-son duo to create a unique line of Ayurvedic elixirs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":47,"featured_media":3840,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[101],"tags":[232,37,169,231,107],"class_list":["post-3806","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-supplier-spotlight","tag-ayurveda","tag-cpg","tag-luckyvitamin","tag-nariveda","tag-wellness"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
