The kividrops Story

Hey, we are Nick and Ken and have been close friends since our school days. Together we have already experienced a lot. What started with school and enthusiasm for surfing led to very different life paths. Today we live again in and around Bremen with our families. 

Over the years, besides many other topics like sports, family, health, and the meaning of life, one thing especially occupied us. We wanted to create something of our own, connected with a positive contribution to society. We wanted to live and work according to our values and free ourselves completely from profit-focused corporate guidelines.

With a lot of experience from self-employment and leadership roles in companies, we were well prepared professionally. In addition, we came into contact with health topics a lot during our careers. And even privately, nutrition was always an important topic. Ken grew up vegetarian, and Nick today feels the power he has experienced through his dietary change. 

This resulted in the common core focus: healthy nutrition and the desire to inform about the benefits. After exchanging a lot about it, the idea developed further. Besides providing information, we also wanted to develop our own products for support. Especially our great love for our children influenced the idea so much that we wanted to focus primarily on healthy nutrition for children and how we can simultaneously support parents.

Nick and Ken receive full support from their families, who help with great joy wherever they can. What the children like to do most is, of course, try, try, try. And also with many other things, such as design, their feedback is very important to us. In the spirit of the motto “from children for children”, because we do what we do with passion for them. Nick’s and Ken’s wives are always there with advice and support. Ken’s wife is also a trained nutritionist and thus has a significant influence on the content. 

The concept was born. We want to bring the topic of healthy and sustainable nutrition closer to society, help through information, and support with child- and parent-friendly dietary supplements. In particular, it should be a dietary supplement for children in a tasty gummy fruit form, which helps parents, alongside a healthy diet, to know their children are well cared for.

We started with extensive market research and found that there is no significant offer for our little ones according to our ideas, and what we could find did not appeal to us much. We ordered existing products, conducted elaborate research on the ingredients, their naturalness, and sustainability. We examined manufacturers, manufacturing processes, production temperatures, exchanged ideas with parents and children, did many tastings, evaluations, and analyses until we were sure: This has to be done better! 

So we first began looking for a name for our brand and after many attempts decided on the perfect variant: kividrops. The name stands for “kids vitality,” that is, for all that we wish for our children. Health, freedom, and joy of life so that they can develop optimally. All packaged in our delicious, healthy, and sustainable drops. The brand kividrops was born and was immediately registered in the trademark register. 

In the next step, we set out to find a production partner who meets all our requirements. After intensive search, we found a partner who, besides great taste & highest quality standards, particularly stands out in the market by producing the drops at room temperature. This was especially important to us because the predominantly used temperatures of 70-140 degrees are not really beneficial for the vitamins.

Now the development is complete. After more than a year of intensive development, we were able to finish our first product.
