Frequently asked questions
Can you still take the supplements if the expiration date has passed?
The expiration date on the label is the date at which the ingredients are 100% stable. After this date, the effectiveness of the nutrients diminishes. Supplements should no longer be taken after this date.
Can I take this supplement with my medication?
That's not always possible. Therefore, if in doubt, always consult your doctor. Unfortunately, we are not always allowed/able to make a decision on this ourselves.
Can I take too much of a supplement?
Yes, you can! Therefore, do not exceed the dosage stated on the packaging, unless otherwise discussed with your doctor.
Can I break the tablet in half or open a capsule?
Yes, you can! You can break the tablets in half or crush them with a pill crusher. You can also open the capsules and add the contents to a glass of water. Be aware that some ingredients may be unpleasant and may not mix well with liquid.
Some substances are present in excess of the Reference Intake (RI) and Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA), does that matter?
No, that doesn't matter. However, don't exceed the prescribed dosage on the packaging, unless otherwise discussed with your doctor.
Can I use (product) without a prescription?
Absolutely! All products are available without a prescription. Please be aware of contraindications and drug interactions.
Are there any (harmful) side effects?
Always read the warnings on the label and consult a doctor if you have any doubts about whether a dietary supplement is a good choice for you. If supplementation is tailored to your personal health situation and you stay within the prescribed dosage, side effects will not occur.
Can I compensate for my poor diet with supplements?
No! Supplements should always complement, not replace, a diet. A healthy diet is always the foundation.
Can I combine a supplement with other supplements?
That's often possible. However, be aware of interactions with medications and herbal remedies. If in doubt, ask your pharmacist before taking any supplement.
