Our story
At The Vedic Cartel, we’re committed to providing you with solutions to everyday problems, and help you feel your best with wellness supplements designed with bodies like yours in mind. The team behind the The Vedic Cartel includes Dr. Sapan Patel, a pharmacist and his wife Sheena Patel, a healthcare professional. Dr. Patel is known for his passion for hiking well-known climbs across the world like Mt. Everest, Kilimanjaro, Patagonia, and The Great Wall of China. Sheena is a research scientist, certified personal trainer, and health and fitness enthusiast.
We met in 2017 - at a time when Sheena had just been diagnosed with prolactinoma - a benign tumor that is located on the pituitary gland at the base of the brain. Prolactinoma directly affects the hormonal function of the body and despite of prescription medicine, she was still experiencing hormonal imbalance. After meeting with an Ayurvedic practitioner, she decided to explore the ancient medical science of Ayurveda as a supplement to her prescription medication + eating well + an active lifestyle, and found her health dramatically improve.
Sapan had been working as a pharmacist and saw the physical and mental side effects that western medicine often tends to have on our bodies; time and again, he saw his patients rely purely on prescription medication without truly understanding and treating the cause of the disease. Even before we met, he knew he wanted to create something that allowed his community to access safer, more effective remedies.
The Vedic Cartel was born out of our combined first-hand experience with the healing powers of natural therapies and ingredients; we want to share with the world all that we have come to understand in our careers as healthcare professionals and on our personal journeys to a holistic lifestyle that combines western medicine with eastern remedies, along with a healthy diet and active lifestyle.
We wholeheartedly believe a holistic approach to health can change your life, just like it’s changing ours.
All of the ingredients in our supplements are grown sustainably and organically in farms in western India. By purchasing our supplements, you directly impact local farmers and villagers who hand-harvest our herbs.
