From a small mail order business in David and Sheila Gaiman’s Sussex home, G&G today has grown to be one of the largest manufacturer of encapsulated products in the UK’s health industry. Along the way the company has passed milestones and achieved several firsts in the ever-growing area of nutrition and health.

Sheila Gaiman qualified as a pharmacist in 1955 but soon decided that natural solutions to health problems were preferable to most drugs. Combining her talents with her husband’s knowledge of nutrition they started to supply Vitamin E, a scarce commodity back in 1965.

By the late 1970’s the company had taken over a shop in the town of East Grinstead, on the High Street, where it combined retail sales with a burgeoning mail order business. The company’s insistence on the highest quality standards gradually evolved to the purchase of a 10,000 square foot manufacturing facility on the outskirts of the town. From here G&G commenced their own manufacturing and developed the Trufil™ capsule, a process which meant absolutely no fillers or excipients were added to any formula. Steady growth necessitated a further move and in 1997 a 31,000 square foot facility was purchased. Amongst further advancements in the company’s manufacturing procedures, there was the establishment of a pharmaceutical standard ‘Clean Room’.

G&G now offer totally vegetarian capsules across all products provided; they were also the first company in the UK to be licensed by the Soil Association to produce organic encapsulated herbs. The company’s launch in 2004 of EssentialFood™, heralded the most complete certified organic functional food product anywhere in the world. Third party manufacturing work has continued to blossom, producing around 3 million capsules a week.

G&G’s products are now available on every single continent and research and development continue apace at the company’s Sussex headquarters.

We also supply a range of other brands which include BioScience™  a very effective range that contain the three main digestive enzymes to increase nutrient availability. EasyVits™ a unique formula which provides the body with the nutrients required to help maintain joint mobility and a healthier lifestyle. And Acti-zyme™ herbs, which are designed to increase the herbs bioavailability.

Another addition to the company’s activities has been the acquisition of Yin Yang. A range of natural, organic skincare products that feature proven formulas for a variety of health benefits.

G&G Also supplies a range of world renowned products, which include Natren® Probiotics, BioAstin’s® Astaxanthin - clinically the strongest antioxidant in the world to date, Seagreens® , A unique mix of three varieties of pure, wild Arctic wrack seaweeds that give a complete food source, SweetWheat®, a kosher freeze-dried organic wheat grass, and more recently Eletewater™, a natural electrolyte formula for optimum hydration, turning calories into energy.
