Our story
-
In 1997, two Kiwi pharmacists, Mike Cushman and Denis Kay, set out to rethink how they could optimise the health of those taking medications.
They knew that medicated solutions were an essential tool but were aware that they can often cause side effects to the body and lead to nutrient deficiencies. For example, antibiotic use causing digestive upset or cholesterol medication leading to fatigue.
-
Cushman and Kay pioneered integrative health, looking at how supplements could complement and support the effectiveness of medicines.
This led to the creation of the Clinicians brand!
And, although the packaging looks a little different now, our love of science remains the same.
