Our Philosophy

Benchmark Lifestyle is dedicated to supplying you only the highest quality health supplements made today. We select our products carefully, and examine the research done on them before we decide to include them in our collection. We do this so our customers can be assured they are buying top of the range products. We believe in bringing you only the very best, and setting the benchmark for the health supplement industry.

We believe a healthy diet should start from a young age. While our products are extremely beneficial for those with existing ailments, we highly recommend the young generation to start thinking about the long term benefits of consuming quality supplements, especially when today’s foods have been striped of their nutrient content due to deteriorating environmental factors across the globe.

Shirley Tan, Founder and Managing Director

Having been brought up to appreciate good nutrition as foundational for optimal health, Shirley Tan remembers her childhood years of following her mother around in the kitchen of her family home and listening to the matriarch expound the benefits of each food and herb to nourish the body. Her passion for good food and nutrition found its root in that kitchen even before the term, "health foods" became fashionable.

She fulfills her dream of setting up Benchmark Lifestyle to source and market only high quality and authentic health food supplements and products after leaving the corporate world of luxury brands.

"We don't market what we don't use ourselves and we aim to educate, provide and help people make informed choices to maintain and regain optimal health through good nutrition and natural products. We need to go back to basics and nature.”
