Can I take my vitamins all at once? Or do I need to spread them out throughout the day?

In order to allow your body to get maximum, consistent exposure to the nutrients in your formula some nutritionists suggest that you take your capsules in equal amounts at mealtimes. However this is not a strict requirement and you can take them all at once or as directed by your healthcare advisor.

Please be sure to wash down the capsules with plenty of water.

Do you use any preservatives or artificial ingredients?

Because Vitaganic's formulas are produced on demand they do not sit on a shelf until someone buys them. Therefore we do not need the same degree of preservatives that mass- market supplements require. We use only fresh ingredients with no binders, coloring or waxes.

What should I do if I think these supplements are making me sick?

Stop taking the supplements immediately unless your doctor has advised you to keep taking them. See a doctor for advice and take the label with you. Please call our office number 1-866-585-1390 or email us and let our medical team know the situation and the outcome of your consultation as soon as you can.

Although Vitaganic allows customers to adapt their own formulas, all our ingredient amounts are capped so that it is unlikely that you could overdose by taking our products on their own. But as with anything - please be careful!

What is the difference between niacin and niacinamide (nicotinamide)?

Niacin is a member of the Vitamin B family. It is sometimes referred to as Vitamin B3. The term niacin is a collective term referring to both nicotinic acid and niacinamide. Both nicotinic acid and niacinamide have identical vitamin activities, but very different pharmacological activities.

Niacin is involved in a wide range of biological processes including the production of energy; the synthesis of fatty acids, cholesterol and steroids; signal transduction; the regulation of gene expression; and the maintenance of gene integrity. In pharmacology nicotinic acid is used as an anti-hyperlipidemic agent. Both nicotinic acid and niacinamide are efficiently absorbed through the stomach and small intestine. However, they are metabolized differently and excreted in the urine in different forms.

Vitaganic uses niacinamide in our formulations to avoid any side effects often associated with nicotinic acid such as flushing. Nicotinic acid causes vasodilatation within twenty minutes of ingestion and can last for up to an hour.

Why should Echinacea, Cayenne and Reishi not be taken for extended periods?

Although there is no empirical evidence to suggest that these herbs may be a risk to health over extended periods, there is anecdotal evidence people who have taken these herbs for extended periods report upset stomachs, dizziness and dry mouth. Because of this, Vitaganic automatically warns customers and cancels repeat orders of these herbs after a 3 months period. If you would like to discuss other supplement options that may substitute these herbs please contact us and our nutrition team will assist you.
