A Vancouver Island-based company is making gains with a vegan supplement brand.

Edan Wolk and Melissa L’Heureux-Haché, of Nanaimo, created Vegain, a line of gluten-, dairy- and soy-free sports nutrition products formulated from Canadian-sourced ingredients that has gained a following from vegan and non-vegan athletes.

Wolk and L’Heureux-Haché launched Vegain in January 2023 and in November the company became the exclusive supplements partner for Ian Machado Garry, a top-10 ranked and undefeated welterweight in the UFC.
