Ronaldo will also participate in future brand and product innovation.
Sold in 70+ countries and with its total user base growing more than 5 times this year, Bioniq’s approach is backed by world-leading scientists and a patent-pending algorithm. And combining advanced blood biomarker analysis and self-reported health data, Bioniq creates 100% customized supplements designed to meet individual health needs, revolutionizing the way people approach personal health management. The company’s precision-based platform creates one unique formula for each user that is taken daily, fulfilling the body’s foundational nutrition requirements and designed to optimize nutrient levels over time.
Ronaldo’s investment marks a notable moment for Bioniq as it accelerates global expansion with a particular focus on the U.S., Europe, and the Middle East—driving innovation in the booming wellness market, with the U.S. now contributing over 60% of total global sales. His strategic involvement in product development, driven by his unique performance needs and experiences throughout various career stages, brings invaluable insight to Bioniq. As an athlete who has excelled across age categories, Ronaldo’s contributions will be instrumental to Bioniq’s approach to personalized health solutions. His support will further propel the company’s mission to deliver precision nutritional supplementation to millions, empowering them to achieve optimal health outcomes.
Bioniq’s ability to provide quantifiable before-and-after snapshots of users’ nutrient needs and optimization progress has been invaluable in its partnerships with many leading health and sports institutions, such as Lanserhof and UFC. Bioniq has also become the product of choice for many top athletes, from Soccer World Cup Champions and NBA All-Stars to Iron Man winners.
Plus, Ronaldo’s investment follows a successful Series B, which raised $15 million led by Principal Investors HV Capital and Unbound, two leading European VCs. Bioniq has built its largest proprietary biochemical database, utilizing blood test data from customers across five continents. The AI-based patent-pending Bioniq algorithm assesses an individual’s height, weight, age, lifestyle, and health goals to precisely identify micronutrient imbalances and deliver nutritional insights, daily nutrient support, 1:1 nutrition consultations, and educational resources.
Bioniq’s personalized supplements are Swiss-made and pharmaceutical-grade, utilizing precise micro-dosing to address bio-individual needs and deficiencies. Each formula is created specifically for an individual user and features a unique mix of up to 120 antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients, amino acids, and prebiotic fiber. Rather than traditional pills and capsules, the product is delivered in patented prebiotic guar granules, designed to mimic how the body digests food, minimizing nutrient competition and maximizing bioavailability.
