The house is quiet.
But she's still awake.
My name is Sjors. Together, my wife and I have a blended family with three children. A warm, lively home where no two days are ever the same.
But even when the house grows quiet in the evening, my wife often struggles to fall asleep.
Those nights are the reason we started GZOND together.
Waking up is one thing.
Falling asleep again is another.
When one of the children wakes up, my wife can lie awake for an hour or two afterwards. Sometimes longer. The children are often fast asleep again, but for my wife it is a different story. She can lie awake for hours while the rest of the house sleeps. And by the time she finally drifts off again, sometimes it is almost time to get up.
And it isn't only the interruptions from the children. On many nights, she wakes up between ten and twenty times. Being pulled out of sleep again and again, when all you want is to sleep through the night.
I'm sharing this because it is the real reason GZOND exists. Behind our brand is a wish that is very personal to us: for sleep to become something to look forward to again.
We wanted to create
something with this in mind.
That experience inspired us to build our own supplement brand together. We wanted to put together a small range to choose from as an addition to a routine around rest and sleep.
We had a clear idea: a few good supplements, with understandable information about their ingredients and use. Products you choose thoughtfully, knowing what they are intended for.
That became GZOND's starting point. Our own wish for a better night gave us the motivation to begin.
No cupboard full of bottles.
We don't want looking after yourself to start with a long list of products you are told to take. That's why we choose a manageable range in which each supplement has a clear place.
For us, good also means understanding what you buy. What are the ingredients? What is the dosage? How do you use it? That information should be clear.
You don't need to take everything. We want to help you make an informed choice that suits you.
For anyone longing
for a good night's sleep.
Perhaps you know what it is like to lie awake. Or, like me, you see first-hand what it means for someone close to you. Then you understand why this matters so much to us.
That is what we want to bring to GZOND: care and attention for something that seems so ordinary, yet doesn't come easily to so many people.

Our story explains why GZOND began. It is not a promise that supplements solve sleep problems. Supplements do not replace a varied diet, a healthy lifestyle or medical care.
