It was the first health foods company in South Africa and has since become the largest in Africa, with a head office in Cape Town and a subsidiary in Australia. Vital is a family-owned and run company, into third-generation management in 2005.
Vital supports the Proudly South African campaign.

But an eternal health goes round.

Fill all the glasses there—for why
Should every creature drink but I?
Why, man of morals, tell me why?”
—Abraham Cowley (1618–1667)
