Nature’s Bounty Co. may attract bids from a number of private equity firms as owner Carlyle Group LP explores a sale of the vitamin and supplement firm, people familiar with the matter said.
BC Partners and CVC Capital Partners would consider offers for the entire company, the people said, asking not to be identified because the talks are private. Bain Capital and Xio Group are also weighing bids, and some firms may make offers just for Nature’s Bounty’s U.K. unit, Holland & Barrett, they said.
