About Us
We are New Zealand’s original health and wellness company. In fact, we’ve been helping keep Kiwis healthy for over 110 years. And we’re still going strong.
Being able to say we’ve helped look after the wellbeing of New Zealanders for over a century is a real privilege. And in that time, we’ve adapted alongside Kiwis too. As time moves on, so does the way we look at health and the products we create and offer. We’re prolific in our search for only the best, highest quality ingredients & products. And we never stop finding better, more innovative ways to help you and your family stay healthy. We’re proud to say that creating a little help for everybody has gone a long way.
EST.1904
Our humble beginnings
We began our humble health story in Auckland in 1904 with two flour millers setting up shop, producing and packaging specialty flours. From there Healtheries was born. They built a business on a belief – that natural, healthy goodness should be something anybody can enjoy. And these days we’re still driven by the same passion – to create wholesome foods, delicious and refreshing teas and quality health supplements that take care of all of us a little better.
Something good for everyone
We know your family and their health is incredibly important, but when it comes to choosing wholesome foods and quality supplements, it’s not one-size-fits-all. That’s why we’ve got almost 200 different products to choose from. Whether you’re after teas that invigorate the senses, snacks that keep you going, or vitamins that help support health and wellbeing, there’s something for everybody in the Healtheries range.
The highest quality
We believe in what we make and who we’re making it for – high-quality products for you and your family. Which is why our manufacturing standards are at a whole new level.
Our manufacturing facility in Auckland produces many of Healtheries’ products, and for your peace of mind it’s GMP Certified, Audited by Medsafe & TGA, accredited with strict quality assurance processes and subject to rigorous testing standards.
Healtheries is also supported by a range of experts including naturopaths, nutritionists, scientists and regulatory specialists, who all help us create products that you can trust.

Sustainability
At Healtheries we are committed to taking action for a healthier environment, planet and You!
Check out below what we have been up to across our different product categories.
SupplementsWe care about your health and the planet’s. That’s why our supplement bottles are now made from plants.
Plants are a renewable resource that remove carbon from our atmosphere, which helps reduce global warming.
Our bottles and lids are kerbside recyclable, and we’ve gone a step further – removing the white colour pigment from our bottles to increase their recyclability (meaning they can be made into more things, including more bottles).
Tea RangeOur Healtheries tea bags are proud to be plastic free and now certified home compostable by the Australasian Bioplastics Association. They are also 100% free from bleach, glue and staples.

Snacking & BarsOur snacking range and bars are all a part of the soft plastic scheme, that means they don’t go into landfills.
The plastic is then turned into useful items such as fence posts , parking bumpers and bollards here in New Zealand.
Ethical SourcingWe will ensure we source and create products that have been produced under fair, safe, legal and humane working conditions and minimize envoirmental harm.
