About Lanes Health

Lanes Health has a proud history stretching back over 90 years. Founded by husband and wife Gilbert and Grace Lane in 1930, the business was a pioneer in healthy living, diet and supplementation, using carefully selected plants and nutrients. The company has since passed down the generations and has grown both organically and through acquisition.

Its brands, mainly produced in two advanced manufacturing plants in Gloucester and Lincolnshire, are instantly recognisable and the business is run to this day with a steadfast commitment to those principles on which it was founded almost a century ago. Whilst its roots are firmly in Gloucestershire, the company has both a national and international presence, with a vision to becoming the UK's leading family-owned supplier of branded household health products.
