Hassocks resident Adam Meyer has launched a new online health shop, which aims to serve the village and beyond. To represent the village and his home, Adam has named the store Keymer Health. Having been educated at all three of the village schools, Adam has lived in the area all his life, and has represented the village in football, cricket and badminton. Now, he hopes to provide the local community with high quality food supplements and vitamins, as well as vegan skincare products that are suitable for sensitive skin.

Adam was previously studying Neuroscience at Sussex University, when a period of ill health intervened. Having to defer his academic studies, the resulting period of illness forced Adam to learn about nutrition, inflammation, and the immune system. Changes to his immune system resulted in a series of sensitivities that led to a greater awareness of the potential harm of certain foods and additives. The Keymer Health product range has been designed with this in mind.

Adam explains, “One of the main reasons I started Keymer Health was because I wanted to create a range of products that I myself would want to use. Ever since that illness, there are so many commonly used foods that my body just can’t tolerate anymore. We have a long list of things we will never use in our products such as soy, gluten, and titanium dioxide. I understand there are others out there in the same boat as me, so I aim to keep the ingredients list as short as possible!”. Adam retains the ambition of one day opening a shop in the village, but, for now, orders must be placed through the website. Residents with BN6 postcodes automatically get assigned free postage for online orders. Find out more at www.keymerhealth.com
