BIO-HEALTH LTD. was incorporated in 1981 for the purpose of initiating the first range of vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements totally free from additives.
There was then, as now, serious concern that many ingredients, not always disclosed on the labels, were being widely used in the manufacture of tablets being offered as "health foods". Health food retailers and their customers were becoming increasingly subject to commercial exploitation in an industry where pharmaceutical contract manufacturers, using mass-production methods, and who did not share the health food philosophy, became suppliers of nutritional supplements.
With the assistance of a major capsule manufacturer and following months of research and development, methods were devised for successfully filling vitamin, mineral and herbal formulations entirely without additives. The dose form chosen was a two-piece hard shell capsule. Soft capsules required plasticisers and were prone to fungal and bacterial proliferation due to their high moisture content. Hard shell capsules, proved ideal for filling with uncompressed powders.
