Supplement Gains
Walmart Canada to Launch FOCUSfactor® Supplements Nationally in Q4 2025
After more than five years of groundwork, Synergy has secured national placement for two FOCUSfactor SKUs within Walmart Canada’s vitamin set – a defining milestone for the brand’s international growth strategy. The rollout, scheduled for Q4 2025, builds on an 18-year U.S. retail partnership with Walmart and affirms FOCUSfactor’s leadership in the growing brain health category.
“We’re delivering real science and real results at scale – and national placement in Walmart Canada gives us tremendous reach,” said Ross. “This expansion has been a long-term goal, and we’re thrilled to bring FOCUSfactor to more Canadian consumers than ever before.”
With momentum accelerating across both product lines and key regions, Synergy expects to share additional retail and distribution updates in the months ahead.
