As NHS Doctors, we have a passion for helping people with their health and have been doing so for decades. We also have a keen focus on preventative medicine and nutrition. This is critical for treating our patients holistically and with various reports warning about growing nutritional gaps within the UK population, we know only too well that many people need supplements to help fill the gaps their diet does not provide. And these gaps are more common than we realise.

When looking to buy vitamins ourselves, despite over 30 years combined experience as Doctors, we got confused! There was so much variation, some products had unnecessary or unusual ingredients often with very little if any evidence of benefit, others had essential ones missing, and more worryingly some products that had very high doses potentially causing harm, or very low doses making them barely worthwhile buying. This left us unsure which supplements were best for ourselves, unclear which were safe for our pregnant wives and we struggled to recommend brands or products to family, friends and indeed our patients.

Whilst we fully promote a healthy and balanced lifestyle with good quality food, we know that realistically this is not always possible and we were particularly shocked to see the HSIS report in 2019 showing the scale of nutritional deficiency in the UK. This was the catalyst for us to do something. We want to ensure that every person has the same opportunity to have good nutrition because better nutrition means better health.

And so Dr Marks was born...... eventually. Working long hours as Doctors, it has actually taken us a few years to get here but we did it! We are two Doctors committed to providing high quality supplements that are backed by population data, that utilise scientific evidence and guidance, and that follow expert recommendations from our colleagues in science and medicine.

Our goal is to also make sense of the current, often confusing, nutritional supplement marketplace, so you can make informed decisions on what products are best and safest for you and your loved ones. To achieve this we are providing useful information about nutrition and health related matters on our website, blog, facebook and instagram pages, and youtube channel. We want to share our knowledge and experience as Doctors and give you information that you can trust. We sadly see so much information online that is incorrect, misleading and sometimes dangerous.

Health and Nutrition is just too important to ignore. We hope you can find trust and reassurance in choosing our supplements and find our education materials, blogs and social media platforms useful and informative. Together we hope to make a real difference in replenishing the UK's nutritional deficiencies and giving as many people as possible better health and well-being.
