The ocean, and the question that started phytovive.
A note from our founder, Daniella Hunter: the path from the sea to a single marine strain, and the belief that wellbeing is collective.
Daniella's path here began with the ocean. A childhood of severe health challenges and compromised breathing, paired with a restless drive to seek answers, gave her an early and personal bond with the deep.
Over a decade ago, that bond became a fascination with the marine microorganisms at the heart of it, among the oldest life on earth, and some of the most resilient. phytovive is built on that early inspiration, paired now with rigorous marine science and a clinically-studied strain.
A question underneath everything
Across her work, from the Real Coconut Kitchen and Sana Foods to her lifestyle brand By Daniella Hunter and the wellness-led hospitality of Sanara, one question ran beneath it all: how can we nourish ourselves at a deep level, while caring for each other and nurturing our world? phytovive was born from that same philosophy, a belief in collective wellbeing, that caring for ourselves and caring for the world are, in the end, the same.
Our wellbeing was never individual. It's collective, ours and the planet's, held as one.
