Every health issue needs trustworthy medical assistance, just ask Direct Digital!

We live in an ever-changing world where it might seem as nothing is certain anymore. When it comes to the most important thing in our lives - our health, we need a solution we can trust. And that is exactly what we’ll talk about.

Direct Digital, or as it is now known - Adaptive Health, was set up to offer people health products they can trust to work. But that wouldn’t have been possible without the ingenuity of the company’s founders - Brandon Adcock and John Kim.

Adaptive Health uses ingenious innovations, strict science, and rigorous research to develop and produce high-quality health supplements. The company’s valued customers can access these in many reputable stores like Walgreens and CVS Pharmacy, and e-stores like Amazon, or can simply order them online.

So, who are Brandon Adcock and John Kim? What’s the secret to their success? Keep on reading to know all about it!

The Dream Team Assembles

Brandon Adcock comes from a modest background, but he always knew that one thing was for sure - he would use his knowledge to help people! After completing his education at Appalachian State University, studying Political Science and Marketing, he wasn’t too sure as to what his career would end up being.

After taking part in an entrepreneurship conference, Brandon Adcock met John Kim with whom he would quickly become good friends. There he got the idea of setting up his own business, along with his new friend.

John Kim’s background is nothing to scoff at either. As a graduate of both the United States Military Academy at West Point and Harvard University, it’s obvious he is a bright mind. John even founded Visual Point Media while attending Harvard University. Brandon’s ambition and imagination, coupled with John’s previous expertise became a force to be reckoned with!

How Does One Start Making Healthcare Great Again?

Even while studying, John Kim knew that part of his passion in life was entrepreneurship. In fact, that was the main reason for his sudden interest that led to him opening his own company which is still active today. But this wasn’t enough!

Maybe it was partly due to the harsh and firm military regime, but John pushed on further looking for more; a place where he could grow beyond his wildest dreams. And that was what guided young John to that fateful seminar.

On the other side, Brandon completed his education and was at a stalemate. He was a stellar student, but right out of college, he had trouble finding a steady job. Nonetheless, he landed a spot in a consultant firm in Washington DC. However, there was still something missing.

He kept on feeling lost and drained from the constant pressure of using his Political Science and Marketing degree, so that is why he decided to let life take the steering wheel for a change.

As luck would have it, it led him to the right place! In 2005, Brandon attended an entrepreneurship concept where he got a bigger look into Internet Marketing and all the possibilities tied with it. And that was the turning point!

In the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis, the pair met and the gears started turning. Both Brandon and Kim noticed how advertising rates had plummeted, and also observed a fast-growing demand for high-quality nutritional supplements on the internet.

So, it should come as no surprise that these two savvy young men seized the opportunity they had been given to form Direct Digital, which would address these exact issues!

Let There Be Health!

The combination of the two seasoned entrepreneurs and the newfound growing demand for quality nutritional supplements was like a match made in heaven. After meeting at an industry conference and becoming friends fast, they saw the opportunity they were presented with and formed Direct Digital.

After starting the company in 2009, the duo invested heavily into intense research and development. Their hard work paid off later that year when they launched their first product, Instaflex Joint Support, which proved to be a booming success. Sales quickly skyrocketed and exceeded any expectations they may have had thusfar.

Thanks to the success of Instaflex, the company partnered up with the Arthritis Foundation in 2013 to donate a portion of the sales to non-profit organizations. Today, the Instaflex brand is a proud sponsor of the Foundation and donates heavily to arthritis research. With that in hand, Direct Digital continued making even more successful products. For example, there’s their Nugenix men’s health product line, which was named ‘Best Product Innovation’ of 2013 by GNC.

Yet, this company is not the only one on the market. There are plenty of alike companies that dive deep into the nutritional and wellness supplements demand and supply sector, such as Logos Nutritionals, and RBC Life Sciences, among others. Nonetheless, this dream team wouldn’t give up on their idea so easily!

They stayed dedicated to their aim to put only the best research into their product. With this in mind, they invited Dr. David L. Katz into their team, a medical professional with more than 20 years of experience working as a physician and a researcher. As the company’s Chief Medical Adviser, David brought with him his world-renowned expertise in nutrition, weight control, and health-challenge prevention.

Let’s Get Fiscal

It’s amazing what following your dreams can do!

Since 2018, this company slowly worked its way to the top and is now one of the most profitable companies in the field of supplements development and manufacturing. It even managed to acquire Healthy Directions, which was their competitor for 25 years!

With them out of their way, Adaptive Health reached for the stars! They started talking to their customers through every channel, which helped them gain more income - some used to fund the company.

What’s more, it even grabbed the chance to acquire Biovation Labs in Salt Lake City, which is the company that manufactured its products. This led to a rise in the number of employees and with it, unimaginable growth!

The next move for Direct Digital was going public! Although they had to revise the terms ahead of the IPO, on the 10th February 2022 the company managed to raise $15 million.

This opens exciting new prospects and opportunities for the future of the firm!

Direct Digital, Today

This ambitious health company has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 2009. Today it boasts more than 250 full-time employees spread across four offices in four different states, but the headquarters are still in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The acquisition of Healthy Directions, and subsequent rebranding of Direct Digital into Adaptive Health in 2018 combined the best of both worlds. Healthy Directions’ vast product line and a group of doctors and medical advisers only furthered Digital Direct’s commitment to quality science and research.

In 2019, Adaptive Health released a brand new line of products called LifeBiome. This line uses an innovative new supplement formulation that boosts and optimizes digestive health. This is only the first of many the company plans to unveil after the acquisition.

All these acquisitions and innovations propelled the company forward big time. So it should be no surprise that in 2019, the company became one of the fastest-growing middle-sized businesses in Charlotte, the place where it all began.

So, no matter if you suffer from joint issues, you want better digestion, or if you simply want to improve the quality of your sleep, Adaptive Health surely has something to help. The high quality of research and development ensures that you can trust their product to work.

Whether you visit your nearest store or you order from their website, Adaptive Health has got you covered!
