Blackmores the right supplement

Health supplement manufacturer Blackmores has booked a 50.1 per cent jump in annual net earnings, despite the past year being the most "tumultuous" in the company's corporate history.

The company reported that it expected continued sales and profit growth this year, after its record net profit of $A9.3 million ($10.1 million).

It said the overall market in Australia had recovered from the Pan Pharmaceuticals crisis, which resulted in the recall of more than 1600 Pan products from health food stores, pharmacies and supermarkets.
