Spoonful Botanical, an all-natural health food product crafted in the heart of County Louth, is quietly revolutionizing joint health support across Ireland and beyond.

What started as a passion project just over three years ago has blossomed into a trusted staple for thousands of people seeking natural relief for joint discomfort. Behind the brand are Louth senior footballer Conor Grimes and model Jayne Gavin, a couple who set out to bridge ancient herbal wisdom with modern convenience.

Despite navigating through some of the most challenging times in recent memory — from the COVID-19 pandemic to the soaring cost of living — Spoonful Botanical has not only survived but thrived. Yet, one of the most surprising challenges the company faced wasn’t supply chain issues or market competition — it was explaining why their product was working so well.

“We knew from testimonials and people getting in touch with us that thousands of people across Ireland and Europe were enjoying the health benefits of Spoonful Botanical,” says co-founder Conor Grimes. “However, as a small health food business, we leave it to our customers to do our promotion and spread their experiences through word of mouth.”

And that word has spread far and wide. Spoonful Botanical is made from a carefully crafted blend of 14 fermented root herbs and spices, including powerhouse ingredients like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon — all known for their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. The fermentation process enhances the bioavailability of nutrients, allowing the body to better absorb and benefit from them.

But now, there’s science to back it up.

In recent years, Spoonful Botanical has partnered with renowned scientific laboratories including Fitz Scientific and ALS Global (Australian Laboratory Services) to conduct studies and validate the product’s benefits.

“We’ve discovered the magic in Spoonful Botanical,” Grimes shares. “The natural ingredients and high vitamin C content allow us to make official health claims. This is a major turning point in our journey.”

These breakthroughs mark a significant moment for the company — moving from a product celebrated by word of mouth to one recognized by science.

At Spoonful Botanical, the mission is simple: to help people move more freely, naturally. Backed by ethical sourcing, traditional ingredients, and modern research, this small Louth-based company is setting a new standard for joint health support — one spoonful at a time.
