Our Commitment: Born from Compassion, Built for Care.
We didn’t start with a business plan. We started with a belief: that healthcare should feel human. Wellspring Meds® was founded in 2016 to make high-quality, affordable medications accessible to every household.
Behind each product is a story of compassion. Our founder, Ariel Kondov, spent years behind the pharmacy counter – watching patients struggle not just with illness, but with high drug prices, confusing insurance systems, and a lack of personal care.
Determined to make a difference, Ariel set out to create something better: a healthcare company that puts people before profits, listens before it labels, and meets families where they are.
That’s how Wellspring Meds® began – and that’s the standard we continue to uphold today.
Since then, we’ve served nearly 5 million customers with trusted, affordable care – without the high costs, long waits, or confusion of traditional healthcare.
Our doctor-recommended products are science-backed, made with FDA-certified monograph drugs and clinically proven ingredients to ensure both safety and effectiveness.
Today, Wellspring Meds® is an award-winning, over-the-counter healthcare brand, offering prescription-strength medications manufactured in GMP-certified facilities. From everyday health essentials to innovations like PIN RID® – the only chewable, prescription-strength pinworm treatment available over the counter – we provide clean, effective solutions designed for real people and real life.
And we’re just getting started. Our creativity and commitment to innovation will continue to drive us – so we can deliver smarter, better-for-you, over-the-counter solutions for families today and for generations to come.
At Wellspring Meds®, we’re more than a medicine brand.
We’re a movement for better care – built on heart, driven by purpose.
Our Journey
2016: Wellspring Meds® is Born
Wellspring Meds® was founded in 2016 to make high-quality, affordable medications accessible to every household. Behind each product is a story of compassion. Our founder, Ariel Kondov, spent years behind the pharmacy counter, watching patients struggle – not just with illness, but with high drug prices, confusing insurance, and an impersonal system. Determined to make a difference, Ariel set out to create something better: a healthcare company that puts people before profits, listens before it labels, and meets families where they are. That’s how Wellspring Meds® began.
2018: Rapid Retail Growth
Wellspring Meds® commitment to quality, affordability, and consumer trust fueled rapid growth across leading online retail marketplaces. By establishing a strong presence on platforms like Amazon and other e-commerce channels, the brand quickly reached millions of households. Strategic partnerships and powerful word-of-mouth helped accelerate adoption during this early phase of expansion.
2020: Expanding Access Through WellspringMeds.com & Welmate®
In 2020, Wellspring Meds® launched wellspringmeds.com – a fast-growing online platform created to provide families with direct access to affordable, high-quality medications from the comfort of home.
While we continue to deeply value our partnerships with national retailers and independent pharmacies, this direct-to-consumer channel allows us to serve more people with hard-to-find sizes and formats, proprietary SKUs and prescription-strength medications available over the counter
This milestone also marked the expansion of Welmate®, our own branded product line, thoughtfully developed to offer clean-label, affordable, and effective solutions for everyday health needs. Welmate® products are designed to meet modern consumer expectations for transparency, ingredient integrity, and convenience – making wellness more accessible, one product at a time.
From household essentials like Tylenol®, Advil®, and Benadryl® to innovative Welmate® formulations, we remain committed to simplifying healthcare and expanding access – without compromising safety, quality, or care.
