The Short Story

G&G Vitamins is a family-run British supplement brand and manufacturer based in East Grinstead, West Sussex. Founded in 1965, by David and Sheila Gaiman, we were among the first in the UK to produce multivitamins and minerals. Health and wellbeing have always been at the forefront of what we do, and providing the purest, high-quality, affordable supplements to those who need them.

THE LONG STORY

G&G Vitamins was established in 1965, by David Gaiman and his wife, Sheila Gaiman. Sheila was a trained pharmacist, and David had the entrepreneurial know-how to build a company from the ground up. Together, they made the perfect husband and wife team. In many ways, David was ahead of his time. The 1960s were an era of mass production (without much regard for quality or environmental impact), when ethics and big business were an oxymoron, and health fads were beginning to take hold.

David envisioned a different world. He saw how drugs, radiation, and low quality foods were quickly taking their toll on the health of the population, and he resolved to do something about it. He believed the primary purpose of any health product should be that it genuinely helped the consumer, and stood firmly against health fads that were just out to make a ‘quick buck’. Of course, profitability is an economic necessity for any business to survive, but David believed that you didn’t have to sacrifice quality in the quest for viability. That is how the ethos of G&G was created.

Six decades have passed, and the world is a different place. Much of the planet has woken up to the bad habits of yesteryear. Tobacco use has fallen over 40%, the scourge of plastic bags has begun to be eradicated, and even the world of fad diets is now more grounded in science and research. As a population, we are more conscious than ever of the potential threats posed to our health and our planet through poor choices and inaction.

The changes we have seen in recent years were what David hoped the world could become. As new and exciting technologies were developed David always tried to stay at the forefront, working on better products and better ways to make them until his passing in 2009. Although it has been a decade since David passed away, the family continues to manage G&G, always remembering why David and Sheila started it all fifty years ago – to bring good health and wellbeing to all.
