It’s safe to say that vitamins and supplements are an everyday part of modern life. Research shows that as many as two thirds of all adults take some form of vitamins or supplement either daily or occasionally, and total sales in the UK are worth well over £400 million a year.

One Yorkshire company have been producing vitamins, minerals and health foods long before the massive growth in health supplement consumption in recent years. Hellenia was founded by Piers Seed, 32 years ago, in Melmerby, which is located close to the A1, between the national parks of the Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors. It is a family run business with a great community and proud of its Yorkshire roots, Piers the Managing Director is a true Yorkshire man, and takes great delight in proclaiming that his birthday is on August 1st - Yorkshire Day. He was later joined in the company by his son, Tom, the Head of Sales who has a huge passion for health and fitness.

The philosophy behind Hellenia has always been the unwavering belief in the potential of high quality health supplements in enhancing quality of life, allowing people to enjoy a fit and active lifestyle regardless of age or ability.
