BOOTHWYN, PA — ZOIA Healthcare, Inc., a subsidiary of Pentec Health, has acquired Lil’s Low Carb Inc. (known as Lil’s Dietary), a long-established provider of low-protein and medical nutrition products for patients with inborn errors of metabolism.
The acquisition enhances ZOIA’s position in the rare disease nutrition space and adds two decades of Lil’s experience in serving patients with specialized dietary needs. By absorbing Lil’s operations, ZOIA aims to improve access to therapeutic nutrition while scaling its public health distribution programs.
Lil’s founder, Marcie Harvey, will join ZOIA to ensure a smooth transition and maintain the patient-first approach that earned Lil’s a loyal following. “My mission has always been to help every child feel normal through access to the nutrition they need—and that won’t change,” Harvey said.
ZOIA plans to preserve Lil’s signature level of personalized service while expanding distribution capabilities through its FDA-registered food facility in Vancouver, Washington. The 11,000-square-foot site will handle fulfillment and logistics, enabling broader national service across all 50 states.
The acquisition also strengthens ZOIA’s partnerships with key public health programs, including the Illinois State Program, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, and the Tennessee Department of Health Children’s Special Services Program, among others.
Eric Mollman, President of Pentec Health, described the deal as a strategic fit: “This acquisition not only broadens ZOIA Healthcare’s portfolio of low-protein foods—meticulously crafted by Lil’s founder—but also enhances our distribution reach and reinforces our commitment to patients and partners in key public health programs.”
Customers will see no immediate changes to how they place orders, with full operational integration expected by August 2025.
