FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

All you need to know (and hopefully a little bit more) about Native Nutrient’s food-based health supplements.

WHAT ARE FOOD SOURCED SUPPLEMENTS?

Food sourced means that they are made from the food we eat and not from inorganic forms that other supplements have out on the market. A key factor is that these Food sourced nutrients are found in food and are complete with the necessary nutrient delivery co-factors for use. The benefit of the food co-factors makes Food sourced nutrients much more bio available within the body.

WHAT BENEFITS DO FOOD SOURCED PROVIDE?

This form of supplement is easier to absorb, as nutrients contained in each supplement comes with other active components as that of our own food so that they are recognised, absorbed, and delivered to the right places for the body to process them accordingly.

HOW EFFECTIVE ARE NATIVE NUTRIENTS?

 The supplements provide nutrients as close as possible to the food we eat like enzymes, lipids, flavonoids, protein, complex carbohydrates, dietary fibre which the body identifies to facilitate the absorption and delivery of these nutrients more efficiently than synthetically processed nutrients.   

HOW SAFE ARE THEY?

All our labels provide information of ingredients that each supplement contains. We always advise everyone to read the back of each label before they purchase them.

I HAVE CANDIDA ARE THEY OK FOR ME TO TAKE?

The yeast that these supplements contain does not come in an active form. It means that the antigen on the surface of the yeast is broken down so no allergic response has yet been reported and has been taken without any issues by those who have a sensitivity to yeast. 

WHAT SHOULD I KNOW ABOUT NON-FOOD SOURCED NUTRIENTS AND THEIR ISOLATED STRUCTURES?

Around 98% of supplements sold in the world are of pharmaceutical/chemical isolated structures (grade). As a result, these are less recognised by the body as food and have less reactivity with the cell’s natural receptors. Isolates often lack key elements which naturally form part of the vitamin/supplement. What happens? The body fails to obtain key elements which are found in foods and in food sourced nutrients.

WHAT IS THE QUALITY AND SAFETY OF NATIVE NUTRIENTS?

The Native Nutrient supplement range does not contain any GMO materials, herbicides, or fungicides. Our food sourced are grown in yeast cells, but they contain no yeast cells in their final preparation. Our supplement suppliers recognise all appropriate UK and EU foods supplements legislation and make every effort to ensure that all Native Nutrients products comply with all requirements.
