Kiwiherb is the vision of herbalist and pharmacist Phil Rasmussen, who after many years of experience prescribing and manufacturing herbal medicine recognised the need for premium quality herbal health products to be available to everyone.

Each Kiwiherb product has been expertly formulated by Phil and his team of herbalists and pharmacists, combining the wisdom of traditional herbal medicine with the validation of modern research. 

Kiwiherb is proud to be a 100% New Zealand owned and operated company, producing our unique range of herbal formulations at our premises in Auckland.

New Zealand is famous for its unpolluted ‘clean green’ environment, and we are fortunate to be able to source most of our herbs from local organic growers, thus maximising the purity and potency of our products.  These include Echinacea & Manuka Honey (cornerstone ingredients of the Kiwiherb range), Ginkgo biloba and American Ginseng.

New Zealand is also renowned for its incredibly diverse range of plant-life, with many of these plants used by traditional Maori healers to treat ill health. The Kiwiherb range is unique in embracing the wisdom of Rongoa (Maori herbal medicine) with the inclusion of sustainably sourced New Zealand native herbs carefully selected for their time-honoured traditional medicinal uses.

We work closely with local iwi in areas of Northland, the Ureweras and the East Coast to ensure these plants are wildcrafted (collected from their natural environment) in a sustainable and ethically sound manner. These plants (Kawakawa, Hoheria, Horopito, Manuka and Tanekaha) have long been valued for their therapeutic actions and add unique healing properties to many Kiwiherb products.

Kiwiherb is dedicated to quality.  This includes preferentially sourcing certified organic New Zealand grown raw ingredients, working with growers to foster ongoing quality and sustainability, and upholding strict quality control throughout the manufacturing process.  Wherever possible Kiwiherb products are certified organic by Bio-Gro, New Zealand's leading organic certification agency.

The Kiwiherb manufacturing plant is accredited by Medsafe as a GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) facility. This means all of our products are subject to intensive testing and monitoring ensuring the safety and consistency of each batch.

These rigorous quality control measures are applied to all stages of production from raw materials through to the finished product, which guarantees that all Kiwiherb products contain exactly what the label states, and have been tested for purity and safety.

At Kiwiherb we believe in supporting other pioneering New Zealanders to encourage their ongoing success.  We are proud to sponsor the following individuals and organisations in their unique endeavours:

	The New Zealand Plant Conservation Network (NZPCN) NZPCN is a non-governmental organisation committed to the conservation and restoration of New Zealand’s indigenous plant life. We donate a portion of every sale of Kiwiherb products containing native herbs to the network.
