Why don't most herbs have a description of what they are good for?
Unfortunately, this is not allowed according to the law and regulations. According to articles 19 and 20 of the Commodities Act, it is prohibited to link medical claims to food (and food supplements are legally included in this). Medical claims are only allowed for medicines and medical devices. In some cases, making a health claim is allowed for supplements and external health products. Health claims claim that a food product is beneficial to health. You can see this on our website as: 'contributes to..', 'supports', 'has a beneficial effect on', ....
Most health claims are currently linked to vitamins, minerals and fatty acids. For herbs and botanicals, discussions have been ongoing for years. Various on-hold claims have been submitted for this. These are currently awaiting approval by the European Commission. The claims may therefore currently only be used if there is scientific substantiation for the health effect.

What is the best way to store my herbal supplements?
Make sure you store your products dry, closed and at room temperature.
Why is my product different from the last time I ordered it?
It is normal for an herb to vary slightly in appearance and uniformity of color. Depending on the geographic region and time of the season an herb is harvested, it is not uncommon for different batches of the same herb to vary slightly in their physical appearance and characteristics, including color, aroma, texture, etc. Herbs are natural. Just as color and physical characteristics can vary in nature, so too will the appearance of the final herb or botanical supplement.
Can you take multiple herbal products at the same time?
It is generally safe to take multiple herbal supplements at the same time. However, it is important not to take too much. Everyone responds differently to supplements. If you start combining multiple supplements, pay close attention to any changes in your health, energy levels, or body responses.
