Frequently Asked Questions

Are these supplements safe for nut allergy sufferers?

We take allergy status very seriously. None of our formulations includes nuts or nut oils. Our manufacturing plants have been certified as nut-free; they do not process peanuts or products thereof; nuts are not permitted into the premises. All cleaning procedures have been validated to eliminate cross-contamination between lines.

Please contact our pharmacists if we can help further.

How do I store the food supplements?

Capsules should be stored in their original packaging at room temperature (8-18℃), in a dark location away from any sources of humidity, such as the kettle, hob, fridge or bathroom. Always check the label for full instructions.

How do you decide what nutrients to include in a food supplement?

We use the highest standard of human clinical trials to optimise the strength and range of bio-actives, which demonstrate significant improvements in specific conditions. We then manufacture every batch of our supplements to these pharmaceutical standards. The soil, climatic, growing and harvesting conditions are fundamental to our quality standards, so our raw materials are carefully sourced; from India for our turmeric, Spain for our saffron, olive leaf and black garlic and Southern Italy for our bergamot fruit. Our Marine Magnesium is sourced from pure seawater from the Irish coast. Where possible, we always try to source ingredients locally.

How much of the supplement should I take?

Each food supplement has the directions printed on the label below the ingredients.

I have trouble swallowing capsules, can I open them?

Some of our food supplement capsules can be opened and added to drinks and food stuffs, they may even enhance the taste! However, others should not as they have a more bitter taste. Please call us to speak to one of our pharmacists to allow us to advise you individually.

Are your food supplements organic?

We’re committed to using the highest quality ingredients, and many of our products include organically grown or wild-harvested botanicals. While we don’t currently list any products as certified organic, organic sourcing and clinical evidence (in the form of human-based clinical trials) is our guiding principle of our ingredient selection process.

Is all your packaging environmentally friendly?

Yes! Our packaging is totally recyclable, both the glass jar and lid can be placed in roadside recycling. Our pouches are biodegradable and fully recyclable too.
