Motherhood is often described as transformative, but it can also be physically demanding, emotionally overwhelming, and nutritionally challenging. Recognising this gap, Nutrizoe was founded by entrepreneur Richa Pendake with a simple yet powerful mission: to make maternal nutrition easier, more accessible, and more relevant to modern women.
After spending years in the corporate world and developing a deep interest in women’s health and nutrition, Pendake set out to build a brand that addresses the often-overlooked nutritional needs of women during pregnancy, breastfeeding, and postpartum recovery. Together with her co-founder, she launched Nutrizoe in 2019, creating solutions designed specifically for the realities of modern motherhood.
Today, Nutrizoe offers a range of products tailored to different stages of a mother’s journey. One of its most popular innovations is Lactobites, a lactation-support snack bar formulated with ingredients such as fenugreek, moringa, fennel, shatavari and halim seeds. Designed to support breastfeeding mothers, the bars aim to provide convenient nutrition while helping address common lactation challenges.
The brand has also expanded into postpartum nourishment with products such as Momix, a range of ready-to-make kheer premixes inspired by traditional recipes often recommended for new mothers. By combining age-old nutritional wisdom with convenience, Nutrizoe seeks to help women access nourishing foods even in increasingly busy, nuclear family setups.
What sets Nutrizoe apart is its focus on supporting women through every phase of motherhood rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution. From managing pregnancy-related nutritional needs to breastfeeding support and postpartum recovery, the brand is working towards making maternal wellness a more holistic conversation.
At its heart, Nutrizoe reflects Richa Pendake’s belief that when mothers are nourished, supported and cared for, entire families benefit. And in a world where mothers often put themselves last, that reminder feels more important than ever.
