Our active compounds are specially prepared and based on numerous scientific studies. However, it is important to realize that all supplements can be toxic if dosing is not followed correctly. The recommended dosing should always be followed.
Furthermore, we maintain the necessary manufacturing quality assurances and Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP's) throughout all our operations. All of our supplements are manufactured in a FDA-inspected facility.
All supplements and drugs have unique pharmacokinetics. Because of the way these compounds are absorbed, utilized by your body, and eliminated it can take time to reach a therapeutic dose. Pharmacokinetics are different for different individuals and thus, it is not possible to exactly state how long it should take for the products to work. However, in our experience, results can be expected within the first month.

This is a difficult question to answer. For some of the supplements the mechanism of action is not known. However this lack of understanding is not isolated to dietary supplements. A number of drugs such as lithium and glatiramer acetate still have an unknown mechanism of action. Every day additional research is performed to determine how our supplements are working in the body.
We package each bottle with 90 pills, which provides enough supplements for 30 days.
Similar to therapeutics, if you stopping taking the supplement any beneficial effects you are experiencing will stop. Because of the pharmacokinetics of the products, this reduction in benefit may not occur the day you stop taking the supplement. However, more importantly, our products are not addictive and you will not experience any withdrawal symptoms if you decide to stop taking them.

The recommended dosing for all of our products is seven days per week, three doses per day. Because of the pharmacokinetics of our products we have standardized our dosing and packaging to allow us to better serve our customers, using a unified pharmacokinetics modeling system.

No. Our products are formulated to be non-addictive.
The ingredients in our products are clearly identified. In a letter for you to bring to your physician, we also indentify potential drug interactions.
Yes our products are vegetarian. In comparison to many other products we do not use gelatin-based capsules. Our products are not Kosher.
No. Because the pharmacokinetic modeling for our products has been performed for adults we are not able to provide a recommended dose for children. Additionally, nearly all of the studies on the active ingredients have been performed on adults. Thus, as a general policy, we do not recommend our products for children.
None of our products contain ephedrine.
All ingredients in our supplements are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the United States federal government. The potential side effects, if any, are described in the letter we provide for you to share with your physician.
Yes. Our products are developed based on the clinical and scientific research. We have developed an exclusive blend of these products that are described by positive results. We’ve also performed computer modeling to verify that the doses recommended are sufficient.
We have never had a reported overdose with our products. However, it is important not to exceed the recommended dosage. All therapeutics and supplements that are taken above their recommended dose has a potential for toxicity. Our recommended doses are safe for a normal healthy adult.
There is always the potential for interactions with other therapeutics when taking a supplement. For example, the most typical of these interactions is grapefruit juice and cholesterol-lowering medications. When a patient is taking a cholesterol-lowering medication, and also consumes grapefruit juice the enzymes that would normally metabolize the drug are inactivated and the patient can experience an overdose.
Any time you are taking a dietary supplement there is the potential for interaction with other therapeutics. This potential for interaction is exactly why we have created the letters for you to provide your physician.
Because the pharmacokinetic modeling for our products has been performed for non-pregnant adults we are not able to provide a recommended dose for a pregnant woman or women that are breastfeeding. Thus, as a general policy, we do not recommend our products for women that are pregnant or breastfeeding.
