FAQ
- What is the suggested use of the product?
Adults, as a dietary supplement, take one (1) capsule daily.
- Is the vitamin E in the product synthetic?
Our Vitamin E is naturally sourced from sunflowers, not synthetically made from petroleum like many other products on the market. The easiest way to determine if a vitamin E supplement is synthetic or not is to look at the label. The synthetic form of vitamin E is listed with a "dl" (dl-alpha-tocopherol), while the natural form is listed with a "d" (d-alpha tocopherol).
- Why do you source your Vitamin E from sunflower instead of soy?
Soy, especially non-organic soy, carries potential health risks, such as a negative impact on thyroid and endocrine function. In addition, non-organic soy is usually genetically modified, and we never allow GMOs in our products. Sunflower is free of these concerns.
- What kind of capsule do you use for your Vitamin E?
We use an innovative, liquid-filled capsule technology called Licaps®. These capsules consist of a thin shell for fast release of nutrients, and they are flushed with nitrogen and hermetically sealed to keep oxygen out and prevent leakage.
Unlike softgels which have plasticizers that create channels for moisture and oxygen to penetrate the capsule, hard shell capsules do not. All these features help prevent air from getting into the capsules.
- Is it safe to consume this product while pregnant or nursing?
This product was not formulated specifically for pregnant or nursing women. We always recommend consulting with your health care provider before taking a new dietary supplement.
- What is the purpose of the Stoplight-colored labeling?
The Stoplight System is a product-labeling program is designed to help you make informed decisions when considering your gut health. While not every product is formulated specifically for gut support, the labels – Green, Yellow or Red – provide a clear guide on how a product might impact digestion. By using this simple color-coded system, you’ll be able to determine which products best fit your personal gut health journey, making it easier to align choices with your individual wellness goals.
