To only make and sell what is effective by listening to our customers feedback while monitoring global research and clinical trials.
Consuming a diet of whole foods, rich in vitamins and minerals is fundamental to our health and well-being. However, due to the dramatic depletion of soil quality in the recent years, even organic foods now contain less nutrients than they did previously. This means that the majority of us simply don’t get enough of what our bodies need from diet alone.
Most of the supplements available today come in the form of compressed, synthetic vitamin and mineral powders that are often combined with additives to keep them fresh, change their colour, make them solid and stick together. These synthetic supplements are almost always in an isolated-form which do not occur in nature, meaning the body struggles to recognise them and very little is absorbed.
This is why in late 2016, our founder Carl Jenkins took the decision to address the decifit of the modern diet and start a company with the sole focus of producing supplements made with whole food ingredients that enable us not only to survive, but to thrive. And so, Time Health was born.
We are on a mission to meet people’s nutritional needs the way mother nature intended, by providing vitamins, minerals and other micronutrients in a form that the body recognises as food.
At Time Health, each of our 120+ supplements has been meticulously crafted with the finest natural ingredients, meaningfully dosed and loved by nutritionists up and down the country.
We believe in creating supplements that everyone can benefit from, which is why the vast majority of our products are suitable for those with specific dietary requirements.
Having quickly outgrown our previous premises in Scaynes Hill and Plumpton Green, Time Health has now found a permanent home in Maresfield in East Sussex, where we manufacture and ship over 250,000 products to our customers every year in our SALSA approved facility.
What started as a team of 5 has since grown to a 20 strong team today with a shared focus of delivering exceptional quality supplements and service to our customers.

Reforestation is a key tool in helping to tackle the climate crisis, particularly the reforestation of tropical forests. Tropical forests have suffered extensive destruction, fragmentation, degradation and depletion of biodiversity. Once covering 12% of the world’s landmass, they now cover just 5%. Reforestation works to restore previous forest cover, by cultivating and planting seedlings. We fund ecologically appropriate trees in the right places, coordinating with and supporting local communities, and ensuring that trees are protected from outside threats (both natural and man made) so that they can survive and thrive, and help to support biodiversity and carbon sequestration.
As well as carbon sequestration though, planting trees is a wonderful thing to do for a number of reasons:
In 2021 Time Health made the commitment to plant a tree with every single order and so far, with the help of our wonderful customers, we have funded over 80,000 trees in reforestation projects around the world.
Rewilding involves leaving nature alone as much as possible to recover by itself and minimising human intervention. It is defined as the restoration of ecosystems to the point in which nature is allowed to take care of itself, and seeks to reinstate natural processes, and where possible missing species, allowing them to influence the ecosystems and shape the habitats within them. Although native species are the main focus, rewilding is not designed to reach a specific end point or final ecosystem, but goes wherever nature takes it.
All degraded ecosystems can be rewilded and rewilding can involve interactions at all levels. Rewilding Britain calculates that restoring native woodland, peat bogs, heaths and species-rich grasslands over a total of six million hectares could sequester 47 million tonnes of CO2 per year. This is more than 1/10th of the UK’s territorial greenhouse gas emissions.
In the case of forest ecosystems, rewilding typically involves releasing land from non-forest use, such as growing crops or damming a valley, and letting a young forest rise up on its own. As the forest ecosystem recovers, trees, soil, leaf litter and other vegetation absorb and hold carbon. As functions are restored, the forest regains its multifunctional role, supporting the water cycle, conserving soil, protecting habitat and pollinators and providing food, medicine and fibres.
An example of where elements of rewilding have been incorporated into our tree-planting projects is the woolly pigs that are used to help restore ecosystem functions to Ecologi’s forest sites in Dalry, Scotland. These pigs churn up the soil, allowing the seed bank to come to the surface and improving the species diversity of the forests. The pigs also trample and clear bracken, creating space for new life to push through it.
The ocean is a large carbon sink, and huge volumes of carbon are stored at the interchange between land and sea – on the coast. Coastal wetland ecosystems like salt marshes, mangroves, and seagrasses absorb carbon dioxide from the air and store it as carbon in soil and underwater sediment. In the long term, these blue carbon ecosystems can store up to five times as much carbon as tropical forests.
The IPCC uses blue carbon as one example of a nature-based carbon dioxide removal method which, as well as absorbing carbon, can enhance biodiversity, ecosystem services, employment and local livelihoods. Restoring and protecting coastal ecosystems is therefore a climate solution which works to both mitigate climate change and contributes to climate adaptation and sustainable development.
Like forest and peatlands, coastal wetlands are subject to severe degradation. Restoring mangroves, salt marshes, and seagrasses reduces greenhouse gas emissions. It also enhances their ability to support biodiversity and provide ecosystem services. Protecting 6.06–7.19 million hectares of currently degraded coastal wetlands and allowing natural regrowth to occur would sequester 0.76–1.00 gigatonnes of carbon dioxide-equivalent greenhouse gases by 2050.
We fund mangrove development projects to ensure these critical ecosystems remain effective carbon sinks for many years to come.

Founded in 1946 by a group of scientists, farmers and nutritionists, the Soil Association was built on a layer of foundations – to observe the connections from farming, to manufacturing to finished product – to ensure environmental, animal and human health. More recently the Soil Association has become the UK’s leading membership charity for healthy, humane and sustainable food, farming and land use, certifying 70% of organic products in the UK.
The Soil Assocation carefully examine each and every stage of the supply chain, from farming to finished product. With this in mind, we were keen to join forces with them as we believe it demonstrates the high quality processes we have in place for processing these ingredients ourselves.

SALSA is widely recognised as the leading food safety certification scheme for the UK’s smaller food and drink businesses. Approval certification is only granted to suppliers who are able to demonstrate to a SALSA auditor, that they are able to produce and supply safe and legal food and are committed to continually meeting the requirements of the SALSA standard.
The SALSA Standard includes a dedicated and comprehensive section for HACCP (Hazard Analysis & Critical Control Point), requiring that all hazards to product safety and legality are identified, analysed and assessed for risk. A documented HACCP system, based on Codex Alimentarius HACCP principles, must be in place and regularly reviewed. Alongside HACCP, the scope of the SALSA audit standard includes, but is not limited to; supplier approval, product safety, traceability, good manufacturing practices (GMP).
A copy of the Standard can be downloaded free from the SALSA website at https://www.salsafood.co.uk
