Bonafide Health was founded in 2017 to create a new class of over-the-counter and dietary supplement women's health products – scientifically formulated, inspired by nature, backed by clinical evidence and endorsed by doctors. The Company pioneered a next generation consumer health business model by selling its products direct-to-consumer with the uncompensated recommendation of OBGYNs and other healthcare professionals.

William Hood & Company ran a competitive, strategic-only process which resulted in a successful sale to Pharmavite, a U.S. subsidiary of Japanese conglomerate, Otsuka Pharmaceutical. The sale represents an industry defining transaction in the women’s health sector, and it highlights William Hood & Company’s leadership position in consumer health and wellness.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and our entire management team we would like to thank William Hood & Company for going the extra mile for us throughout our sale process. Their strong process leadership, global network and on-point guidance were invaluable. From start to finish, WHC consistently exceeded our high expectations, and their bespoke approach was second to none. We will miss working with them day to day and are thrilled with this outstanding result."
