Blackmores Limited is an Australian health supplements company founded in 1938 by naturopath Maurice Blackmore (1906–1977), when Blackmore opened the first health food shop in Australia in Brisbane.[1][2] It manufactures an extensive range of vitamin, mineral and herbal supplements, sold in 17 markets[3] across the Asia Pacific region.

In May 1985 it was listed on the Australian Securities Exchange. In 2017, Blackmores was inducted into the Queensland Business Leaders Hall of Fame.[4]

In April 2023, Kirin launched a A$1.88 billion takeover bid for Blackmores.[5] On August 9, it was announced that the purchase had been completed.[6]
