Nigeria’s wellness and dietary supplement space received a vibrant boost at the weekend as Purna Gummies Nigeria officially unveiled popular comedian and media personality, Anita Alaire Afoke Asuoha, better known as Real Warri Pikin, as its new brand ambassador.

The signing and unveiling ceremony, held in Abuja, marked a defining moment for the brand, which prides itself as the producer of Nigeria’s first NAFDAC-approved gummy supplements designed to make daily vitamin intake easier, safer, and more enjoyable.

Speaking during the ceremony, Chairman and Co-Founder of Purna Nigeria Limited, Dr. Everest Okpara, described the appointment as a strategic partnership aimed at expanding access to credible, science-backed wellness solutions for Nigerians.

“Real Warri Pikin is a remarkable woman whose story embodies resilience, authenticity, and care,” Dr. Okpara said. “Her pregnancy journey perfectly reflects what our brand represents—strength, motherhood, and wellness. We waited for this moment in her third trimester to celebrate a collaboration that genuinely connects with women across Nigeria.”

He noted that the company’s mission is to “vitaminize Nigeria” by ensuring that essential nutrients are delivered in fun, tasty, and easy-to-consume forms, especially for individuals who find swallowing pills difficult.

“Many Nigerians struggle with pills, particularly when it comes to multivitamins. Our gummies eliminate that barrier. They’re chewable, water-free, and scientifically formulated for effectiveness,” he explained. “We’re committed to safety, simplicity, and satisfaction—values that this partnership represents.”

In her remarks, Real Warri Pikin expressed excitement about the collaboration, describing it as a partnership driven by shared values of wellness, convenience, and trust.

“For me, this is not just another endorsement; it’s personal,” she said. “As a woman, a mother, and someone currently navigating pregnancy, I know how essential vitamins are—and how difficult it can be to take them consistently, especially in pill form. Purna Gummies makes it simple and even enjoyable.”

She emphasized that the brand’s credibility is reinforced by its NAFDAC approval, positioning Purna Gummies as a trusted supplement in a market flooded with unregulated products.

“Purna Gummies are tested, certified, and trusted by NAFDAC. Every gummy you take is safe, effective, and authentic,” she affirmed. “It’s refreshing to see a Nigerian company leading with global standards.”

Real Warri Pikin also used the occasion to encourage women—particularly expectant and nursing mothers—to prioritize their health through proper prenatal and postnatal care.

“The Mama Bear Gummies are the first ever NAFDAC-approved gummy supplements for pregnant and lactating women in Nigeria,” she noted. “As mothers, we owe it to ourselves and our babies to stay healthy. These children didn’t ask to be here—we must nourish them and ourselves.”

She further called for increased access to maternal healthcare, urging both government and private stakeholders to adopt community-based wellness initiatives.

“Not every woman can afford standard prenatal care, and some still give birth at home because of financial constraints,” she said. “If initiatives like Purna’s wellness drive are integrated into state or community programs, it could make a world of difference.”

Since its entry into the Nigerian market, Purna Gummies has positioned itself as a trailblazer in the country’s emerging nutraceutical sector, offering a variety of gummies that combine nutrition, science, and taste.

Dr. Okpara revealed that the brand is preparing to roll out more variants tailored to different age groups and health needs in the coming months.

“We’re expanding beyond multivitamins, our goal is to make supplementation accessible to every Nigerian household—children, adults, and the elderly alike.”

He expressed optimism that Real Warri Pikin’s relatable personality and nationwide appeal will strengthen public awareness about the importance of vitamins and overall wellness.

“This partnership goes beyond branding,” he concluded. “It’s about changing attitudes toward health, and we believe Real Warri Pikin will carry that message with the energy, humor, and sincerity she’s known for.”
