How it all started

It all started in 2005, when we received amazing feedback from healthcare
practitioners on the quality of supplements that FxMed (NaturalMeds
sister company), was sourcing since 1999. Overwhelmed by the support,
Amal Karl, Founder and CEO, set out to bring a similar offering of efficacious,
research-backed supplements and education for health store retailers and
pharmacies. He teamed up with Nordic Naturals in 2004, to bring their
premium fish oils to New Zealanders, thus significantly raising the bar on
retail supplements available in the market.
This marked the beginnings of NaturalMeds, which has now grown to
represent 15 leading nutraceutical brands, but remains a family-owned
business comprising of a passionate and dedicated team with a shared vision.

Our promise to you

From day one, we made a promise to our retailers – that we will scour the
globe and bring them only the highest-quality, evidence-based supplements
that are manufactured to strict international standards.
Over this time, our industry has evolved significantly but our mission
remains the same – to be a trusted educational voice for natural health
retailers. Our highly qualified sales and technical team of naturopaths
support retailers around the country with tailored in-person training
programmes, correspondence courses and promotional materials.
In addition to obtaining support from our team, you can also ensure
you are buying from an authorised distributor for your favourite brands.
NaturalMeds has an agreement with the international brands we carry
to be the Exclusive Authorised Distributor within New Zealand, and this
means that you can be 100% certain that you are buying a genuine product.

For 15 years, NaturalMeds has been sourcing and distributing
premium quality supplements for retailers across New Zealand.

Giving back to the community

We are committed to reducing our environmental footprint and that’s why we represent brands that place importance on sustainable practices, from raw ingredient sourcing right through to manufacturing. When needed, we wrap our glass bottles in eco bubblewrap and reuse packaging materials sent by our suppliers.

Giving back to our community in whatever way we can is hugely important to us and that’s why we are a proud supporter of KidsCan charity. Like us, KidsCan believe that education is a child’s ticket out of poverty. In order to break the cycle of child poverty, they provide essentials to Kiwi kids affected by poverty so they can have the opportunity of a better future.
