Swisse was established in 1969 by Australian entrepreneur Kevin Ring after traveling internationally to study developments in natural medicine and nutrition. Inspired by the potential of combining traditional herbal knowledge with modern nutritional science, Ring launched the first Swisse products in Melbourne.

Initially, the company focused on natural health products such as pollen tablets before expanding into vitamins and nutritional supplements. Throughout the following decades, Swisse gradually built a reputation for premium-quality formulations made with ingredients sourced from around the world. [2]
