How we formulate and test is a large part of the difference
Widely Studied
We consider the most nutrient dense and scientifically studied ingredients. Best on efficacy, safety, tolerance, and performance.
Natural First
We prioritise gently processed, naturally derived ingredients.
Standardised Extracts
Season, soil, water all are common reasons for variations in the potency of herbs and roots. With standardized extracts, the amount of active ingredients is controlled to a very tight tolerance. This ensures that each dose, each pack, and each batch is consistent, from one to the next.
Brand Preference
We then look for standardised extracts that have good bioavailability and stability and clinical studies. This is where branded ingredient suppliers come into consideration, suppliers who are proud to put their name on the product
Dosed for Benefits
With these ingredients in the mix, we work out a formulation to match their potencies and quantities to deliver the exact amount of active ingredients used in the human studies.
Ingredient Tests
We ensure each ingredient is tested for Heavy Metals, Pesticides, Microbiological Contamination
Formulation Compatibility
We then work on each ingredient’s stability in the mix and their organoleptic profiles. We also need to ensure they are compatible with each other without any interactions.
Sampling Runs
We iterate as much as 30 times to find the right balance of texture, taste, dosage and stability. Most of these phytonutrients, vitamins and minerals are bitter, astringent and metallic . To bring their most potent and stable form in a manner that is pleasing to you, is what we strive for.
Stability Tests
We then test for stability and end of shelf life claim.
Nutritional Tests
We do third party testing on the finished product for the nutrition profile of calories, fatty acid, cholesterol, total dietary fiber, sugar profile, protein, elements such as calcium, iron, sodium, zinc.
