Future Kind is a direct-to-consumer vegan supplement brand: multivitamins, single nutrients, herbal formulas, gummies and protein powders formulated for people on plant-based diets, sold from its own Shopify storefront with a subscription option on almost everything. The pitch on the
The origin story is unusually well documented for a brand this size. The About page says the company was founded in 2019 by Australian brothers and certified plant-based nutritionists, Shaun and Eliot. Independent sourcing fills in the surname and the rest: Shaun and Eliot Cunningham built the brand to roughly $4 million in annual sales before selling it in April 2024 to OpenStore, the Miami-based Shopify-brand aggregator co-founded by investor Keith Rabois. That acquisition is a matter of public record on the acquirer’s own blog.
What happened next matters more. On August 8, 2025, CNBC reported that OpenStore was shutting down nearly all of the 40-plus Shopify stores it had bought, liquidating remaining inventory at steep discounts and refocusing on a single menswear brand, after a $15 million round valued the company at $50 million against a prior $1 billion. Future Kind is evidently one of the survivors — as of August 2026 the store is fully operational, carrying 43 live products, quoting first subscription deliveries within days, and collecting Trustpilot reviews as recently as July 2026. But the site never says who owns it now. Media inquiries on the About page and in the footer still point at a press@open.store address, a leftover from the previous owner, and the terms of service specify venue in “the jurisdiction where Future Kind is headquartered” without ever naming that jurisdiction.
There is a real legal entity behind it, though you have to dig for it. The contact page publishes only an email address and a form — no phone, no mailing address, no hours. The privacy policy, buried at the bottom of the site, names Future Kind Labs, Inc. at 1230 Rosecrans Ave, Suite 300-9027, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266, with a phone number, +1 310-426-8143, and an admin@futurekind.com address. The suite format reads like a mailbox rather than an office, and the Trustpilot business profile lists the company’s location as nothing more specific than “United States.” None of that makes the company fake. It does make it less transparent about itself than it is about its lab results, which is an odd inversion.
The public product feed carried 43 listings as of August 2026 — a genuinely small, curated catalog by supplement standards. It breaks into six groups.
Multivitamins. Three tiers plus a prenatal. The Essential Vegan Multivitamin is the flagship and the brand’s whole thesis in one bottle: 60 softgels, two a day, 30 servings, containing only B12 in two forms (methylcobalamin and adenosylcobalamin) at 400 mcg, vitamin D3 derived from lichen, and algal omega-3 with EPA and DHA. The Vegan Complete Multivitamin is 90 tablets at three a day, adds a probiotic and digestive enzymes and a full vitamin-and-mineral spread, but drops the omega-3 because it would not fit. The Foundations Plant-Powered Multivitamin sits between them at 60 capsules, adding magnesium, iodine, selenium, K2 and zinc. The Vegan Prenatal adds iron and folate.
Single nutrients. Iron with natural vitamin C, chelated magnesium, calcium, zinc, chewable B12, vitamin D3, liquid iodine drops sold as a two-month supply, CoQ10, a 30-billion-CFU probiotic, and a standalone algal omega-3 at 500 mg combined DHA and EPA.
Herbals and mushrooms. Super Plant Complex with ashwagandha, a lion’s mane mushroom complex, turmeric curcumin with black pepper, milk thistle, and a sleep aid.
Gummies. Eight of them — B12 energy, collagen-booster biotin, melatonin, organic apple cider vinegar, elderberry with vitamin C and zinc, turmeric and ginger, lutein and zeaxanthin, and a probiotic gummy.
Protein and food. An organic vegan protein powder in vanilla at 34 servings, a chocolate protein powder, and a Plant-Powered Meal Shake at roughly 14 servings per pouch.
Bundles and extras. Seven discounted bundles, a stainless steel shaker bottle, a storage jar, a branded hat, digital gift cards, and a standalone Vegan Animal Sanctuary Fund donation product at $5 to $50 as of August 2026.
Two things about the range are worth flagging. First, packaging is part of the product story — glass bottles on much of the line, compostable pouches on the protein and meal shake, and carbon-offset shipping. Trustpilot reviewers as of August 2026 praise the compostable protein bag by name, and at least one long-term customer complains about a move from glass to plastic on some SKUs. Second, the dosing is deliberately restrained. The Essential’s product page spends several paragraphs defending its 400 mcg of B12 against the 1,000–5,000 mcg doses common on Amazon, arguing that the higher numbers are marketing. Whether or not you agree, a supplement brand talking its own doses down is not the usual behavior in this category.

The pricing is mostly legible. There is no permanent sitewide sale, and no individual bottle carries a struck-through anchor on its single-unit option — that treatment is reserved for the seven bundles. Multi-pack options do display a reference price, but on nearly every SKU it is the honest straight multiple: three Essential bottles at $82.00 against $87.00, six at $164.00 against $174.00, which is a genuine $5 and $10 off rather than a fabricated markdown. The one exception worth naming is the apple cider vinegar gummies, where as of August 2026 the multi-pack reference prices ($51.98 on the 2-pack, $72.00 on the 3-pack, $144.00 on the 6-pack) bear no relation to the $12.00 single-bottle price and look like leftovers copied from a more expensive product.
Layered on top are several small, checkable savings, all as of August 2026. Subscribe & Save is 10% off. US shipping is free over $69 per the site banner and cart (the FAQ says $70 with a $6.95 flat rate below it — one of several inconsistencies covered later). Kind Coin Rewards pays 5 coins per $1 spent and redeems 100 coins for $1, which is a flat 5% back, with 500 coins for leaving a review, 100 for a social follow, 1,500 for a referral and 200 on your birthday; the friend you refer gets a $10 welcome discount. Newsletter signup advertises 10% off. Product pages carry a Truemed widget flagging HSA/FSA eligibility.
On comparative value, the numbers are good. The Essential Vegan Multivitamin at $29.00 works out to roughly $0.97 a day for a 30-day supply. Checked the same day in August 2026, Complement Essential — the closest vegan-specific competitor in positioning — was $49.00 for 30 servings, and Ritual’s Women’s Multivitamin 18+ was $37.50 and the Men’s 18+ also $37.50. Future Kind is meaningfully cheaper than both, with a narrower nutrient list.
The directional summary, as of August 2026: the product itself is well liked, but the fulfillment operation is where the complaints land, and the most flattering review numbers are the ones the brand pays for.
The main independent record is the brand’s Trustpilot profile, which as of August 2026 shows a TrustScore of 4.1 out of 5 — “Great” — from 569 reviews. That places it #117 of 167 in Trustpilot’s Vitamin and Supplements Store category — the bottom third of the sector, not mid-table — and only about 50 of those 569 reviews were posted in the previous twelve months, so the recent evidence base is thin. The profile is claimed, the company replies frequently and at length, and at least one reply states that the company’s CEO reached out to the reviewer directly.
Positive themes are consistent and specific: softgels described as small and easy to swallow, a citrus scent that heads off the fishy aftertaste people expect from omega-3, the compostable protein pouch, subscription convenience, and support staff who answer. Several reviewers mention having used the brand for years.
The negative themes cluster tightly around logistics. Reading the 1-star filter as of August 2026, the recurring complaints are long transit times, packages marked delivered that never arrived, orders sent to the wrong address, and — a distinctive one — confusion when an order placed directly on the website turns up in an Amazon box. The company’s public answer, repeated in several replies, is that its independent fulfillment partner sometimes uses Amazon Logistics as a courier the same way it uses UPS or FedEx, and that stock is not pulled from an Amazon warehouse. At least one subscriber of nearly two years cancelled over it anyway. A separate detailed December 2025 complaint alleges repeated deliveries of unsealed, unbranded bottles; the company replied publicly that the products were legitimate and that the difference was packaging method between Amazon and direct channels, and said it was improving internal training. That exchange is worth reading in both directions — it is an unresolved dispute, not a proven defect.
Beyond delivery, reviewers raise a glitchy website and a rewards-redemption flow that one long-term customer says she only attempts once a year, plus general pricing grumbles.
The on-site review numbers are much higher and should be discounted accordingly. As of August 2026 the Essential Vegan Multivitamin shows 4.7 out of 5 from 808 reviews (678 five-star, 53 four, 40 three, 10 two, 27 one), the Omega-3 shows 4.8 from 233, the Complete shows 4.6 from 211, Foundations 4.7 from 79, and the protein powder 4.6 from 136. The homepage aggregates all of it as “Rated 4.6/5 Based on 2,000+ Reviews.” The problem is that the Kind Coin Rewards page openly offers 500 coins — $5 at the published redemption rate — for leaving a review. Incentivized reviews are not fraudulent, but they are exactly the practice Trustpilot’s own guidelines say biases a score, so the unincentivized 4.1 from 569 is the more informative number.
Independent verification beyond Trustpilot is thin. There is no Better Business Bureau file under Future Kind or Future Kind Labs as of August 2026. Substantive Reddit discussion did not surface in this research. The homepage displays press logos for Rolling Stone, LiveKindly, VegOut and VegNews with short pull quotes, but none of them link to the underlying article, so they cannot be checked from the page.
Legit, yes — with caveats that are about paperwork, logistics and disclosure rather than authenticity.
The legitimacy signals are ordinary and verifiable. There is a named corporate entity with a street address and phone number in the privacy policy, a standard Shopify checkout, a claimed and actively managed Trustpilot profile, a publicly documented acquisition history, and a stocked, shipping catalog. No FDA warning letters, FTC actions or product recalls involving the brand surfaced in this research.
On product safety, Future Kind does better than most of its category. It states that it runs third-party testing on every batch, and — critically — it does not just assert this. Product pages carry a “Third Party Testing Results” block with a clickable certificate of analysis, and the help center offers batch results by email on request. Manufacturing is described as a GMP-certified, FDA-regulated facility in the United States. One honest limitation: the COA linked from the Essential Vegan Multivitamin page as of August 2026 is an image-based scan whose contents could not be extracted in this research, so confirming the lot number, date and result values means opening the file yourself. The existence of a public COA is still meaningfully more transparency than the norm.
The marketing stays on the right side of the line. Copy talks about supporting energy, mood and clarity, and the footer carries the standard disclaimer that these products are not intended to diagnose, prevent, treat or cure any disease. The FAQ correctly states that the FDA does not approve supplement brands, only regulates the industry. The brand’s headline statistic — that up to 92% of vegans are not getting enough B12 — is presented on-page without a citation, and should be treated as a marketing claim rather than a sourced figure.
Where the picture deteriorates is in the paperwork, and the volume of contradictions is hard to excuse. As of August 2026: the help center’s shipping policy says the company ships to the United States and Canada, while the FAQ says 191 countries excluding Russia, Spain, Mexico and Brazil. The same FAQ page states both “Subscribers save up to 10%” and “Subscribers save up to 20%.” The banner and cart advertise free shipping at $69+, the FAQ at $70. The homepage donation counter reads $58,981 while the About page says “over $55,000.” The homepage and FAQ say products are made in the USA; the About page hedges to “made and/or packaged in the USA.” And the product-page promise of a 30-day return “no questions asked” is not what the refund policy says at all — that document makes refunds discretionary, deducts shipping, caps them at two unique items per customer, and voids returns entirely on international and Black Friday/Cyber Monday orders. Any one of these would be a stale page. Six of them is a pattern.
Two smaller safety-adjacent notes. Subscriptions are continuous and auto-charging until cancelled, with a 24-hour-before-billing cutoff, which is standard but worth diarizing. And a paid add-on, Onward VIP Protection+, sells lost/stolen/damaged package cover with a 90-day satisfaction guarantee and 10% cashback as of August 2026 — a reasonable product given the delivery complaints, but also a signal about how much protection the base policy provides.
Finally, if you have seen Future Kind described as a Certified B Corporation, that appears to be an error propagating through third-party write-ups. The supplement brand does not turn up in B Lab’s certified directory as of August 2026; the “Futurekind” that does appear in B Corp listings is an unrelated creative and communications agency, and Future Kind’s own About page makes no such claim. Its sustainability positioning — recycled packaging “where possible,” carbon-offset deliveries, the animal sanctuary fund — is self-reported and unaudited.
Future Kind earns a 3.9 out of 5 from LegitScout — good, with real reservations, and the reservations are all about how the business is run rather than what is in the bottle.
The product case is strong. A three-nutrient vegan multivitamin at $29.00 one-time or $26.10 on subscription as of August 2026 undercuts Complement Essential at $49.00 and Ritual’s 18+ multivitamins at $37.50, and it comes with something neither cheap marketplace vitamins nor most premium brands provide: a per-batch certificate of analysis published on the product page. The formulation reasoning is argued in public, including a defense of a deliberately low 400 mcg B12 dose that runs against the industry’s dose-maxing instinct. Pricing is stable and legible, with no permanent sitewide sale and no anchor price on any single bottle. Subscriptions cancel in a click. Loyalty is a clean 5% back. And the Trustpilot record — 4.1 from 569 reviews as of August 2026, on a claimed profile where management replies to criticism — is respectable, if not remarkable.
What keeps this below 4.0 is everything around the product. Delivery is the dominant complaint theme, including packages that never arrive and confusion over Amazon Logistics on direct orders. The refund policy is materially narrower than the “no questions asked” promise on the product pages: discretionary, less shipping, capped at two items, and void internationally. Six separate factual contradictions between the site’s own pages, on things as basic as which countries it ships to and what the subscriber discount is, suggest a store nobody has fully audited since it changed hands. The most impressive review scores are incentivized with $5 in store credit. There is no BBB file and essentially no independent forum discussion. And after the August 2025 collapse of the aggregator that bought the brand in April 2024, the site still will not tell you who owns it.

Yes. Future Kind is a real, currently operating vegan supplement brand with a documented history and ordinary retail infrastructure. It was founded in 2019 by Australian brothers Shaun and Eliot Cunningham, acquired by the Shopify-brand aggregator OpenStore in April 2024, and its privacy policy names a legal entity with a street address and phone line — Future Kind Labs, Inc., 1230 Rosecrans Ave, Suite 300-9027, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266, +1 310-426-8143. The store runs on a standard Shopify checkout with 43 live products as of August 2026, the Trustpilot profile is claimed and actively replied to with a 4.1-out-of-5 rating from 569 reviews as of August 2026, and no FDA warning letters, FTC actions or product recalls for the brand surfaced in this research. The brand also does something most supplement sellers do not: it publishes a downloadable third-party certificate of analysis on product pages and offers batch results by email. The caveats are about paperwork and logistics rather than authenticity — the policy pages contradict each other on shipping scope, subscription discount and free-shipping thresholds, delivery problems dominate the negative reviews, and the site never discloses who owns the brand now that its former parent has wound down.
As of August 2026, the Essential Vegan Multivitamin, the Vegan Complete Multivitamin, the Vegan Omega-3, the Vegan Probiotics and the Vegan Prenatal are all $29.00 for a single bottle, and the Foundations Plant-Powered Multivitamin is $36.00 a pouch. Single-nutrient bottles run cheaper: $14.00 for zinc or chewable B12, $19.00 for iron with vitamin C, vitamin D3, milk thistle, lion's mane or turmeric, $21.00 for chelated magnesium, and $24.00 for calcium, iodine, the sleep aid or the Super Plant Complex with ashwagandha. Gummies are $12.00 for apple cider vinegar, $19.00 for B12, biotin or melatonin, $24.00 for elderberry or turmeric-and-ginger, and $29.00 for lutein and zeaxanthin or probiotics. Protein powder is $59.00 for 34 servings and the Plant-Powered Meal Shake is $49.00 for roughly 14 servings. Bundles are the only listings that open on a struck-through reference price, and there are seven of them: the Super Sleep Bundle at $44.00 against $55.00, the Stress Less Bundle at $56.99 against $66.89, the Vegan Gummy Beauty Bundle at $59.99 against $69.99, the Vegan Essentials + Iron Bundle at $67.00 against $75.00, the two-month Vegan Essentials Bundle at $77.00 against $84.85, the Skin, Weight Loss + Energy Bundle at $106.99 against $119.97, and the Plant-Powered Women's Peak Health Bundle at $115.00 against $185.00. Multi-pack options on individual products also show a reference price, but it is usually just the straight multiple of the single-bottle price. Subscribe & Save takes 10% off (the Essential Vegan Multivitamin shows $26.10 on subscription), US shipping is free over $69 and a flat $6.95 below that per the FAQ, and Kind Coins return an effective 5%.
The brand says yes, on every batch, and it goes further than most by publishing the evidence rather than just asserting it. Product pages carry a 'Third Party Testing Results' section with a clickable certificate of analysis PDF, and the help center says results for any batch are available by emailing support. Manufacturing is described as a GMP-certified, FDA-regulated facility in the United States, and the site is careful to state — correctly — that the FDA does not approve supplement brands or products, it regulates the industry. Two honest limits are worth stating. First, the COA linked on the Essential Vegan Multivitamin page as of August 2026 is an image-based scan whose text could not be extracted in this research, so verifying the specific lot number, test date and result values means opening the PDF yourself. Second, third-party testing is a quality-control claim about potency and contaminants, not evidence that any supplement treats or prevents a disease, and the site's own footer carries the standard disclaimer to that effect.
There is a 30-day money-back guarantee, but read the actual refund policy rather than the product-page slogan. Product pages promise a return 'no questions asked.' The refund policy states that products must be returned within 30 days from the order date, that eligible products are refunded less the cost of shipping, that refunds are limited to up to 2 unique items per customer as a fraud control, and that all refunds are at the company's sole discretion. International sales are final with no returns or refunds considered, and Black Friday and Cyber Monday orders are final. The help center then contradicts that document in two places: it says the 30-day window runs from the delivery date rather than the order date, and that return shipping and processing fees are the customer's responsibility, where the refund policy says emailing support gets you a return shipping label. The help center also states that items are inspected before a refund is released and that processing may take up to 2 weeks. Missing or incomplete items have their own, much shorter 10-day claim window from delivery. An optional paid add-on called Onward VIP Protection+ layers on lost, stolen and damaged package cover plus a 90-day satisfaction guarantee and 10% cashback, which is a reasonable tell that the base policy is not as generous as the headline suggests.
Subscriptions are continuous until you cancel: you pick a frequency (30 days is the default on the Essential Vegan Multivitamin) and the card is charged automatically each cycle. The published discount is 10% off, and shipping is free on subscription orders over $69 in the US. You can skip a shipment, change the frequency, change the delivery date, or cancel entirely through the customer portal or by emailing support. The one piece of fine print that costs money is the cutoff — cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before the next order date, and anything later takes effect only from the following billing period, meaning you are charged for the cycle already in motion. Note also that the FAQ page states the subscriber discount as both 'up to 10%' and 'up to 20%' in different sections as of August 2026, while the product pages and help center both say 10%, so confirm the figure in your cart before subscribing.
On price and formulation philosophy, it compares well. The Essential Vegan Multivitamin at $29.00 one-time or $26.10 on subscription for a 30-day supply as of August 2026 undercuts Complement Essential at $49.00 for 30 servings and Ritual's Women's Multivitamin 18+ at $37.50, both checked the same day, and it does something neither the cheapest marketplace vitamins nor many premium brands do: it publishes a batch certificate of analysis on the product page. The targeted three-nutrient approach — B12, lichen D3 and algal omega-3, with everything a plant-based diet already supplies left out — is a defensible design rather than a marketing gimmick, and if you want more coverage the Foundations pouch at $36.00 adds magnesium, iodine, selenium, K2 and zinc. The case against is operational, not nutritional. Delivery complaints dominate the negative reviews, the refund policy is discretionary and capped, the policy pages disagree with each other on basic terms like whether the company ships internationally, and no one on the site will tell you who owns the brand. If you are buying one bottle to try, those risks are small. If you are committing to a standing monthly subscription, they are the things to weigh.
