Our standards

What is decided, what is in progress, and what is only planned.

A supplement label is a legal document and a promise. This page is where we keep the two apart: the rules the range is built on, which are decided, and the documents, tests and certificates that only exist once a product does, which are not. Every item below carries one of three states, and the state changes only when the fact does.

Transparent labels

Decided

Every ingredient on the front of the pack, in descending order of weight, with nothing hidden in a proprietary blend.

Decided

The amount per serving is the largest type on the label. Where a nutrient has a reference value, the percent is printed next to it.

Decided

One purpose per product. No all-in-one formulas and no product whose name promises an outcome.

Clearly identified ingredients

Decided

Named forms, not categories: creatine monohydrate (Creapure), magnesium bisglycinate, cholecalciferol from lichen, potassium iodide, cyanocobalamin, Schizochytrium oil.

Decided

No botanicals. No herbal extract of any kind, because none carries authorized wording in Europe and several carry safety signals.

Decided

No animal-derived ingredients anywhere in the planned range, including capsule shells, the vitamin D source and the omega-3 oil.

Responsible use of nutrition and health claims

Decided

A single claims file (version 2026-10-08, reviewed 2026-10-08) holds every sentence a label may carry: the EU and UK register wording at its stated amount, and the US structure and function sentences with their mandatory disclaimer. Product pages read from that file and from nothing else.

Decided

Each product carries a claim review status. Wording appears only when the status is approved; an unreviewed or blocked product shows the reason instead.

Decided

A list of words we never use, in any market, sits beside the claims file: anything that promises a result, names a body process a product fixes, borrows the authority of doctors or laboratories, or compares us to another product. No product name implies an outcome.

Supplier documentation

In progress

European manufacturers working under GMP are being quoted for each product. A manufacturer is named on a product page only when a contract has been signed.

Planned

For every product: the specification sheet, the supplier certificate of analysis for each raw material, and the allergen and cross-contact declaration of the packing facility, filed before the first batch.

Planned

Novel food status checked and recorded for each ingredient that needs it, including the lichen vitamin D source and the algal oil, before a label is printed.

Quality checks and testing

Planned

Every batch of plant protein tested for lead, cadmium, arsenic and mercury by an independent laboratory, with the certificate linked from the product page.

Planned

Every vitamin and mineral product tested for content against the label at release. Every powder tested for microbiology.

Planned

Batch numbers and best-before dates printed on every pack, and a page per batch that holds its certificates.

Honest communication

Decided

What you see today is a planned range of 12 products (10 core, 2 optional). The packaging is a mockup with the planned label text laid over it. No batch has been made, tested or certified.

Decided

Prices are provisional working figures in euros including VAT, or marked to be confirmed. No price on the site is supplier-confirmed.

Decided

No reviews, ratings, customer counts, countdowns, scarcity messages or delivery estimates appear anywhere until each one is real.
