“Cristiano Ronaldo is the perfect partner and shareholder. As the ultimate embodiment of performance and longevity, Cristiano fully aligns with the values and mission of Bioniq,” said Vadim Fedotov, Co-Founder and CEO of Bioniq. “We are thrilled that the world’s leading athlete and advocate of a healthy lifestyle has made Bioniq part of his journey since 2022.

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 the largest proprietary biochemical database of its kind, leveraging blood test data from customers across five continents. The AI-powered, 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, and 1:1 nutrition consultations and educational resources.

All of Bioniq’s personalized supplements are Swiss-made, pharmaceutical-grade and utilize 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, which are designed to mimic the way the body digests food, minimizing nutrient competition and maximizing bioavailability.
