Supplements
-
For optimal quality, Goodbiotics recommends storing our supplements in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or cabinet, unless otherwise stated on the product label. Avoid storing them in areas exposed to moisture, like bathrooms, or heat, such as above stoves. Remember to keep your hands dry when handling supplements, and whenever possible, store them in the original bottle with the lid tightly closed. Avoid transferring them to pill boxes or baggies, as this may cause discoloration or changes in appearance.

Sometimes, during shipment, Goodbiotics products may be exposed to short-term extreme temperatures, especially depending on your location and the time of year. For instance, exposure to high heat in delivery trucks or mailboxes, or extreme cold on front porches. However, these brief environmental exposures typically shouldn't degrade or harm the ingredients in our products.
To minimize these situations, we recommend being available to receive your shipment promptly upon delivery. If you're concerned about any potential damage to a product after opening your shipment, please reach out to Goodbiotics' Customer Service. We're committed to ensuring that you receive every Goodbiotics product in its best condition.

At Goodbiotics, we meticulously craft our supplements to minimize the use of unnecessary fillers, binders, and lubricants. We prioritize purity and transparency, ensuring that every ingredient, including 'Other Ingredients,' is sourced from the purest sources available. Our dedication to total label transparency means that every ingredient, whether active or inactive, is clearly listed on the product label.

Many Goodbiotics customers wonder about the compatibility of our supplements with their medications. While we provide information about known interactions on our product labels and website, individual reactions can vary. Therefore, we always recommend consulting with a qualified healthcare practitioner, ideally the one who prescribed or recommended your medication, before starting any new supplement regimen.

At Goodbiotics, we uphold a stringent policy against the use of genetically modified ingredients in our products. While we do not currently label our products as non-GMO due to the absence of standardized testing methods, we assure you that every Goodbiotics product is GMO-free. We eagerly await the advancement of scientific techniques to validate the non-GMO status of each ingredient before incorporating such labeling.

At Goodbiotics, products featuring a Manufacture date are those recently reformulated or newly introduced to our line. As part of our commitment to quality, these products undergo rigorous accelerated stability testing to ensure their efficacy and safety. Until an official expiration date is determined based on these tests, we advise using products with a Manufacture date within the first 18 months of the date printed on the bottle.

At Goodbiotics, before introducing a new product, we rigorously test it for stability under extreme conditions. Our accelerated stability testing spans 90 days and exposes the product to heat (40°C / 104°F) and 75% relative humidity. The product formula undergoes thorough assessment, and if any instability is detected, we reformulate the product and conduct further accelerated stability testing on the new formula.
-
While Goodbiotics has not come across any contraindications in current medical and technical literature indicating interference between pain medications, antibiotics, and the absorption of nutrients in our supplements, your individual response may vary. For personalized guidance tailored to your health needs, we advise consulting with your healthcare practitioner.
-
Yes, color variation is a natural phenomenon, particularly in products containing botanical ingredients. Goodbiotics takes pride in avoiding unnecessary fillers that artificially maintain consistent appearance, thus allowing for the inherent color variations. Factors like seasonal changes during natural harvesting can lead to differences in color between batches. Furthermore, alterations in formulation or raw material sourcing may also influence color variations. If you have any questions or concerns about the color or appearance of our products, please feel free to contact us for assistance.

The timeframe for experiencing effects from supplements varies for each individual and depends on the specific ingredients and their mechanisms of action in the body. Supplements like Goodbiotics' multi-vitamin/mineral products are designed for long-term preventive health and general well-being, so immediate effects may not be anticipated. However, if you notice an overall improvement in mood or well-being, aligning with the intended benefits of the product, you may be experiencing the desired effects.
-
No, we do not. Goodbiotics is committed to supporting the goal of eliminating all laboratory testing on animals.
-
While it's not recommended to use a Goodbiotics product after its expiration date, it won't cause harm if you do. However, we advise against it because the potency of the ingredients may have diminished below 100 percent. At Goodbiotics, we conduct rigorous stability testing on our products to ensure potency up to the expiration date, and we cannot guarantee the same level of efficacy beyond that point.
-
If you suspect you're experiencing a reaction to one of our products, it's crucial to discontinue use immediately. We recommend reaching out to your healthcare practitioner for guidance on the best course of action. If necessary, don't hesitate to seek medical attention at an emergency medical center. Your well-being is our utmost concern, and we're here to support you through any concerns you may have.
