Guna produces its own range of cutting-edge and sophisticatedly designed food supplements, medical devices, Bach Flowers and cosmetics. It is also the exclusive Italian distributor for a wide range of medicines and food supplements of prestigious European Companies.

Every year, Guna invests considerable resources in clinical and basic research studies conducted according to state-of-the-art scientific standards.

Guna also supports several Associations operating to provide training for physicians and pharmacists. 

As a Company, Guna is aware that profit is the ultimate goal and we acknowledge this without any hypocritical attempt to argue otherwise, however we are equally convinced that the search for gain cannot and should not be separate from ethics and meta-social objectives, and that business can have a human face.  

Guna invests in scientific research, employment, technological innovation, wellbeing of the people and the environment. More information about our activity in the field of social responsibility are provided in Guna yearly integrated balance sheet (Italian language).
