Medical foods · Gastrointestinal health
Vance Medical develops medical foods for the dietary management of gastrointestinal conditions, bridging the worlds of pharmaceutical science and medical nutrition.
About Vance Medical Foods
Vance Medical Foods Ltd draws on more than 30 years of specialist gastrointestinal treatment development in partnership with leading clinicians and academic centres.
We apply that same clinical rigour to a different therapeutic area: nutrition. Our products are medical foods (FSMP), formulated for the dietary management of specific GI conditions and used under medical supervision.
Our mission
At Vance Medical, our mission is to empower patients living with chronic gastrointestinal conditions by making world-class clinical nutrition science accessible, actionable and personal.
Evidence
Every product and piece of content we produce meets the highest scientific and regulatory standards, rooted in peer-reviewed clinical research.
Patient
Every solution is designed around the real-world challenges patients face, not just clinical endpoints. Lived experience matters.
Pharma
Our medical food products are developed with the same rigour applied to licensed medicines, setting a quality benchmark no ordinary supplement can match.
Global
With a regulatory footprint spanning multiple continents, Vance Medical delivers consistent, trusted solutions wherever patients and clinicians need them.
Pipeline
Two indication-focused programmes in active development, built on decades of gastrointestinal expertise and a pharma-grade quality standard.
Programme 1Coming Soon
A medical food providing a clinically relevant dose of a highly purified active ingredient, formulated for the dietary management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) under medical supervision.
Programme 2In Development
A forthcoming medical food designed to deliver a key gut-health compound with a well-established role in gastrointestinal function, developed for the dietary management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
Science
The science behind our products, our focus on gastrointestinal health, and the quality standards we maintain.
Medical foods (known in the UK and EU as Foods for Special Medical Purposes, FSMP) are a regulated category formulated for patients with specific conditions. They are used under medical supervision, sitting distinct from supplements and from medicines.
