Elle is passionate about wellness and brainstormed the idea of a nutrient dense formula with her doctor, Dr Simone Laubscher. This resulted in the development of the original SUPER ELIXIR. Elle then co-founded WelleCo in 2014 to share the benefits and her experience, as an advocate for wellness and champion for the brand.
