FernMark - our NZ Story
Most of the supplements you buy in New Zealand don't carry the FernMark.
That's because most supplements you buy in New Zealand, even when they are New Zealand owned companies, import their ingredients or even import the whole product and relabel it - look out for the words "Products distributed by XXX."
In the industry, this is known as "white-labelling" where companies import products, repackage them and sell them under their own brand.
We love New Zealand ingredients - our plants are high in polyphenols, because of our high-UV light - nature truly does create the best ingredients for our health.
New Zealand is also highly regarded for quality manufacturing & governance integrity. We think this is worth celebrating!
To be able to carry the FernMark logo, companies have to apply for a license and show New Zealand design, ingredients and/or manufacturing - we proudly claim all three.
For us, the FernMark represents the story of who we are, where we're from and how we do things - our New Zealand Story. We are proud to fly the New Zealand flag as a FernMark licensee - check us out at www.fernmark.nzstory.govt.nz...

Plan to keep cash alive
Keeping cash alive in rural Waikato towns is a big problem, but help could be on the way.
The Reserve Bank is proposing banks keep a minimum ability for their customers to access cash - often a lifeline in small rural communities where banks have cut branches and opening hours.
Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️
First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.
While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.
And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?
-
40.3% Yes - get rid of the clock changes
-
57.8% No, I enjoy it

Mr Minit in Chartwell: Be wary
Hi all,
Just sharing my experience. I had the battery for my car key replaced in March 2025 at Mr. Minit in Chartwell. I was given a one‑year warranty, which seemed impressive at the time.
However, the battery stopped working early Mar 26. With the warranty card, I brought the key back to have it checked and replaced. What I didn’t realise was that the battery was *not* actually replaced. He only tested it with a meter. When I asked whether he had replaced the battery, he said “yes,” but that wasn’t true. He then said he had tested the battery level and there was no need to replace it. When I asked to see the meter, it showed the battery was in the green zone which means it was ok.
I was then advised that I might need to replace the entire key unit. I asked whether he had properly troubleshot the issue to confirm it was the battery and not the key itself. His reply was that he normally doesn’t do that, but I was a “special case.” That means, the warranty card was a misrepresentation and there was no real intention of replacing the battery when it was faulty.
After he finally replaced the battery with a new one, my key worked perfectly again.
**Lesson learned:**
Make sure you take a photo of your warranty card. I feel like the warranty is mostly for show — if I had lost it, I would have been charged another $20+ for a battery. Worst still, I would have to pay more to change the key unit unnecessarily.
Make sure you witness that they replace your old battery with a new one if it's still under warranty.
