Celebrating Our 20th Year

20 years, my how time flies. Yes, it’s true; Health & Herbs International, a 100% New Zealand owned company has been bringing you premium quality dietary supplement products, natural cosmetics and natural health information for twenty years.

On a vision of bringing premium quality, internationally respected brands and products to the people of New Zealand, at affordable prices, natural health practitioners Gary and Jan Mabey founded Health & Herbs in 1991. From small beginnings, with a few Nature’s Way® products imported from America, the company quickly developed its own Radiance® brand whilst growing its unique product portfolio. Today we are still proud to be 100% New Zealand owned and to boast a catalogue with over 470 carefully selected, premium quality products.

Many of Health & Herbs first products have stood the test of time and are still with us today – Nature’s Way® Garlicin®, Femaprin®, MygraFew®, Heart Formula, Alfa-Max and Cayenne Goldenseal. Whilst the Radiance® brand has seen significant label, image and name changes over the years, many products remain tried and true – Radiance® Lecithin, Vitamin E, ProstAid®, Women’s Iron Complex, ChromeMate® and OptiZinc®.

Health & Herbal News magazine also celebrates its 20th year of publication. Since 1991, as a 4 page, two colour leaflet, Health & Herbal News has grown and evolved into a colourful and informative magazine of significant educational value to thousands of New Zealanders.

For 15 years the magazine was written by then director, Gary Mabey. Since Gary’s retirement, the magazine has had a team of qualified naturopaths and nutritionists providing informative and educational articles to help spread the word about the benefits of healthy living and appropriate nutritional and herbal supplementation. More recently, the magazine has featured articles from highly knowledgeable and respected natural health professionals and has showcased New Zealand models in uniquely beautiful New Zealand scenes on the front cover.

Purchased by the company’s marketing manager Brett Edmonds in 2006, Health & Herbs has continued to grow and evolve, whilst steadfastly adhering to the primary company ethics of Honesty, Quality, Integrity and Education.

Join us in the celebrations this year. Be well, be healthy, be product-wise and look out for our 20th Anniversary highlights throughout the year.
