G & G History

In post-war Britain vitamin manufacturing was not the thriving industry that it is today. Vitamins and minerals were prescribed, but rarely in enough quantity to do any real good. Sheila Gaiman was a pharmacist at the University College Hospital in London.

In 1965 research emerged showing that a much higher dosage of Vitamin E (300 times more than was widely available) was necessary particularly for those living in higher altitudes. The concept of the multivitamin was also just coming into the UK, but once again the quantities were much too small. So with Sheila’s knowledge in the field, her husband David Gaiman was able to approach a large pharmaceutical company and negotiate the manufacture of high dosage Vitamin E and a three part multivitamin.

Capsules Vs Tablets

Many of us may have to supplement our diet to ensure that we are getting all that we need. But what do we take? What is best for the body? There is no point in taking supplements that are putting in more additives and preservatives than active ingredients. But believe it or not, when you take vitamins, minerals or herbs in tablet form that is exactly what you are doing!

Very often, the active ingredients –the vitamins and minerals – are only 15% of the entire tablet!
