About

Our Story. Your Partner in Natural Healthcare.

Formulated by Experts. Trusted by Practitioners. Since 1996.

At BioActiv Healthcare, we believe that exceptional natural healthcare begins with quality formulations, innovative thinking and a genuine understanding of practitioners’ needs.

Proudly Australian and family-owned, BioActiv Healthcare has been supporting natural health practitioners since 1996, providing distinctive complementary medicines, functional foods and nutritional formulations designed with clinical practice in mind.

What began as one naturopath’s vision has grown into an established practitioner-focused brand, built on a passion for natural medicine, education and innovation.

Born from Clinical Experience

Created by a Practitioner, for Practitioners.

BioActiv Healthcare was founded in 1996 by Glen Gillard, an experienced Naturopath and Herbalist with more than 40 years of involvement in the natural healthcare industry.

Glen’s journey began in Sydney, where his passion for natural medicine developed through working in health food retail and studying naturopathy. He later established Biochemico Pty Ltd, a successful distribution business supplying complementary medicines to healthcare practitioners.

After relocating to Brisbane, Glen continued expanding his knowledge through clinical practice, research, education and formulation development.

Throughout his career, Glen recognised a recurring challenge: practitioners needed greater access to quality, specialised natural healthcare formulations that were not readily available in the marketplace.

Determined to bridge this gap, he began developing his own range of herbal extracts, nutritional supplements and functional foods, combining traditional knowledge with his extensive clinical experience.

From a humble, single-room laboratory,
BioActiv Healthcare was born.

Innovation Rooted in Tradition

For 30 years, BioActiv Healthcare has remained committed to exploring innovative approaches to complementary medicine while respecting the foundations of traditional herbal and nutritional practice.

From our distinctive alcohol-free herbal Glycetracts to specialised nutritional formulations, functional foods and our established Lipo-C range, innovation continues to be central to our philosophy.

Our approach is guided by a simple belief: practitioners deserve access to carefully considered formulations, quality ingredients and products that complement their individualised approach to patient care.

A Family Legacy.
A Vision for the Future.

Today, BioActiv Healthcare continues to evolve under the leadership of Glen’s daughter, Ebba Gillard-Rosier.

Having grown up immersed in the natural healthcare industry, Ebba brings a lifetime of industry exposure and practical experience across health food retail, distribution, business management, education and marketing.

With a strong appreciation for the foundations Glen established, Ebba is passionate about taking BioActiv Healthcare into its next chapter.

Her vision is to strengthen the connection between BioActiv and the practitioner community, expand the range of innovative formulations and make specialised complementary medicines more accessible to clinicians throughout Australia.

While the business continues to grow and evolve, its founding values remain unchanged: quality, integrity, innovation and an unwavering commitment to supporting natural healthcare practitioners.
