As a result, H2-Health Habits experienced exponential growth, surpassing expectations. Starting with just 10 clients in August 2022, the company now serves over 400 clients, delivering 250 meals a day.

Every meal is meticulously designed and overseen by certified nutritionists, ensuring optimal nutritional value.
