Our Omega 3 is Ethyl Ester form.

Halving the serving would not make the product more effective. Low vitamin B levels are very common, and the only way to correct a deficiency is to take an abundance. The good thing about B vitamins is that they are water-soluble, so any excess not needed by the body leaves in your urine.

Bright yellow or neon-coloured urine after taking a B complex vitamin is a harmless, normal side effect caused by the body excreting excess vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Because B vitamins are water-soluble, your body absorbs what it needs and flushes the rest out through your urine. It is perfectly normal.

Yes. Taking one capsule, 3 times a day, will provide better absorption, improved digestive comfort, and more consistent levels of the nutrient,

Hello, this product is still halal certified.

There is no established upper limit for consuming fish oil. Unless your GP advises otherwise, you should be fine to take 3 capsules per day.

Magnesium Citrate accounts for 70% of the total.

Yes, you can take both Omega 3 and D3 together.

This is a high-strength supplement and is formulated for those aged 18 and over.

Hi Rummana, the gelatine used is from a halal source, however, we cannot advertise this as we have not paid to have this separately certified. Regards, VitaBright

Our Omega 3 fish oil is not tested for its natural vitamin A content, however the amount of naturally occuring vitamin A in the type of fish that we use (anchovies and sardines) is negligible.

The overall TOTOX value never exceeds 23. We cannot give exact TOTOX values as it is too risky to perform anisidine testing in the manufacturing site, however we minimise oxidation at all stages in the manufacturing process.

Yes, it is.

We use molecular distillation, before the oil is distilled and winterised in order to remove impurities and contaminants. This provides the high-quality, standardised fish oil that we then encapsulate in softgels.

The taste is very mild. A fresh fishy taste is a natural characteristic of the active ingredient in Omega 3 supplements. Some cheaper supplements reduce this taste by diluting their capsules with vegetable oils, but this of course reduces the dosage of Omega 3. Remember to store any brand of Omega 3 softgels in the fridge to keep them fresh and minimise the smell.

No, there is no polyphenol in our Omega 3.

Mixed tocopherol means different types of vitamin E from plant sources. Therefore it's not just completely safe, it's an additional high-quality vitamin in your supplement.

We have our Omega 3 fish oil double-checked for mercury (and other contaminants) by an independent laboratory which carried out certified chemichal analysis. We reject it if it is found to conain any more than 10 parts per million. Our requirements are drastically more stringent than the EU regulations for fish, which allow 3,000 parts per million.

Yes, this supplement will be just as effective if you open the capsules. Just twist the capsules open and mix the contents with a drink or food. This isn't formulated to dissolve like a soluble supplement, so you will need to mix it into something thick like a smoothie or soup so that it doesn't settle at the bottom.

Yes it is gluten free

It is ethyl ester.

A daily serving of our Magnesium Glycinate contains 300mg of elemental magnesium and 1200mg of glycine, the "other half" of the molecule that the magnesium is bound with. Our Magnesium Citrate contains 440mg of elemental magnesium.

No, our Omega 3 isn't cold pressed.

Different medical authorities advise different daily amounts of magnesium, and there isn't an official maximum limit. It's thought that excess magnesium causes diarrhoea and isn't absorbed through the intestine. (Medically recorded cases of magnesium overdose were caused by magnesium sulphate being given in hospital directly into the bloodstream, not through people taking food supplements.) The NHS advises that the necessary amount of magnesium is 300mg a day for men and 270mg a day for women (aged 19 to 64 years). It says that taking more than 400mg of magnesium can cause diarrhoea, and this is true for some people, particularly if you take magnesium oxide or magnesium citrate. By contrast, in America the recommended daily intake of magnesium is set much higher, at 420mg daily for men and 320mg daily for women. Bear in mind that this weight of 400mg refers to the elemental magnesium, not the total weight of the magnesium compound. For example, a daily serving of our Magnesium Glycinate contains 300mg of elemental magnesium and 1200mg of glycine, the "other half" of the molecule that the magnesium is bound with. Our Magnesium Citrate contains 440mg of elemental magnesium. If you have any concerns about how much magnesium you personally should be taking, we recommend that you speak to your doctor or dietician for personal advice.

Magnesium Citrate is popular as a gentle relief for constipation. However if you suffer from severe constipation frequently, please see your doctor to check for signs of other problems.

Omega 3 oil is sourced from the body of the fish as a whole.

Yes, all our magnesium supplements contain chelated magnesium compounds, which are magnesium in an organic compound for better absorption.

Our wild Omega 3 fish oil comes from both Anchovy and Sardines which are sustainably caught in the Pacific Ocean.

No, our omega 3 is not a triglyceride formulation. It is ethyl ester.

The Bovine used in our Omega 3 is beef gelatine. It is made in the UK and it is halal, but it is not certified by a third party so we are unable to write this on our packaging.

We cannot give an exact percentage as we do not have our ingredients lab analysed for these substances. The testing only confims that the product is free from contaminants.

We make our supplements in the UK but we source our ingredients from all over the world, choosing the best quality ingredients available. Our current supply of Lion's Mane comes from Asia.

The beta-glucan percentage is a minimum of 15%.

We use hot water extraction to draw out the bio-active substances.

Our supplement is made using an extract from the whole fruiting body of the lion's mane mushroom. The fruiting body of Lion's Mane is the white fluffy part.

Magnesium supplements never contain pure magnesium as an element, because it bursts into flames at room temperature. Instead, they contain a magnesium compound, consisting of magnesium plus an organic element that makes it easy to absorb. A 1500mg daily serving of our Magnesium Glycinate contains 300mg of elemental magnesium and 1200mg of glycine, the "other half" of the molecule that the magnesium is bound with. Glycine is an amino acid that our bodies can make, but which we also eat in meat.
