| Product Description |
|
Betacarotene is a powerful antioxidant. As such it protects the cells against the onslaught of damaging free radicals. Free radicals are unstable molecules that float freely throughout the body seeking out normal healthy cells to use to rebalance themselves. Free radical damage may be responsible for a dangerous chain reaction that could possibly result in chronic diseases. Betacarotene may also be useful to the immune system2, in preventing some of the effects of ageing, and in the treatment of acne and other skin disorders.

| Nutrition Information |
|
As a carotenoid, Betacarotene is able to be converted in the body into Vitamin A, an important Vitamin necessary for growth, healthy eyes, skin and mucous membranes, tooth and bone development, healthy tissues and reproduction ability. However, Vitamin A in large doses over a prolonged period of time can be toxic, as it accumulates in the fatty tissues of the body.

G & G Food Supplies Ltd

| More |
From a small mail order business in David and Sheila Gaiman’s Sussex home, G&G today has grown to be the largest manufacturer of encapsulated products in the UK’s health industry. Along the way the company has passed milestones and achieved several firsts in the ever-growing field of nutrition and health.
Sheila Gaiman qualified as a pharmacist in the 1960s but soon decided that natural solutions to health problems were preferable to most drugs. Combining her talents with her husband’s knowledge of nutrition they started to supply Vitamin E, a scarce commodity back in 1965. By the late 1970s the company had taken over a shop in East Grinstead’s High Street, where it combined retail sales with a burgeoning mail order business. The company’s insistence on the highest quality standards gradually evolved to the purchase of a 10,000 square foot manufacturing facility on the outskirts of the town. From here G&G commenced their own manufacturing and developed the Trufil™ capsule, a process which meant absolutely no fillers or excipients were added to any formula. Steady growth necessitated a further move and in 1997 a 31,000 square foot facility was purchased at Vitality House, Imberhorne Way.
Amongst further advancements in the company’s manufacturing procedures, there was the establishment of a pharmaceutical-standard ‘Clean Room’. G&G now offer totally vegetarian capsules across most products provided; they were also the first company in the UK to be licensed by the Soil Association to produce organic encapsulated herbs. The company’s launch, in 2004, of EssentialFood™ heralded the most complete certified organic functional food product anywhere in the world. Third party manufacturing work has continued to blossom: the company produces around 3 million capsules a week and recently celebrated the manufacture of its 3-billionth capsule!
