About Us
About Herbs for Africa
Herbs for Africa is a South African herbal manufacturer and distributor focused on clean formulations, consistent potency, and reliable supply. We now manufacture the full range of Translife tinctures in-house, alongside our own products to Translife’s established standard.
What this means for you
Same trusted formulas: We continue the Translife standard without compromise.
Tighter quality control: Small-batch production, documented processes, batch tracking, and repeatable potency.
Better availability: Shorter lead times and stable stock.
Credibility & Roots
Our manufacturing head has run Translife’s production for years. Dr. Trudie van der Vyver (formerly Dr. Trudie Bartholomew) is his mother and mentor, and the person who first introduced our team to the discipline and rigor we uphold today. We value that continuity, and you’ll taste it in the bottle.

How we work
Evidence-informed tradition: Practical herbalism, no hype.
Transparent labels: Clear ingredients and strengths.
Accountability: We make it; we stand by it.
