FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

Product Information

How do your supplements work?

Our supplements are carefully formulated to align with the principles of functional medicine, which addresses underlying mechanisms. They work by providing targeted nutrients that peer-reviewed research shows can help support and optimize various functions and pathways. Each supplement is developed based on scientific research and clinical insights, ensuring that they provide meaningful benefits to those who incorporate them into their wellness routines. It’s important to note that the effectiveness of supplements can vary based on individual needs, lifestyle, and health conditions.

Can I take multiple supplements together?

Combining supplements will normally not interfere with how they work, but some supplements will interact with each other. We recommend introducing each new supplement individually to ensure your body can tolerate it along with your supplement regimen.

Can I take your supplements with prescription medications?

Ask your doctor if you can take supplements with your prescription medications.

Are there any side effects I should be aware of?

Before starting any new supplement regimen, it’s advisable to consult with a qualified healthcare professional, such as a doctor, registered dietitian, or pharmacist. They can provide personalized guidance based on your individual health status, medical history, and specific dietary needs.

If you’re trying a new supplement, consider starting with a lower dosage and gradually increasing it to assess how your body responds. This can help you identify any potential side effects or sensitivities.

People’s responses to supplements can vary widely. What works well for one person may not work the same way for another. Pay attention to your own body and how it reacts to supplements.

How long before I see results?

As part of a comprehensive and personalized functional wellness program, responses vary from person to person; we see improvement in patients in several days to a week with most people.

Increased gut motility

ResveraSorb XL: Please note that the Japanese knotweed in ResveraSorb XL can increase gut motility. If you experience loose bowels, lower your dose and increase it gradually over time. Most people develop bowel tolerance with gradual increase of dosage.

Fortizome-3X: Taking large doses of Fortizome-3X may increase gut motility and cause loose bowels.

Safety and Quality

Are your supplements FDA-approved?
In the United States, dietary supplements are regulated by the FDA, but much of their role begins after they enter the market.
We recommend consulting a healthcare professional or doing your research when considering the use of dietary supplements to ensure they are safe and appropriate for your needs. Additionally, it’s a good idea to inform your healthcare provider about any supplements you plan to take, as they can provide guidance based on your individual health and medical history.
What is GMP certification?

A GMP certification stands for “Good Manufacturing Practices” certification. It is a quality management system certification that is widely recognized in various industries, particularly in pharmaceuticals, food production, and cosmetics, but it can also apply to other sectors. GMP certification ensures that products are consistently produced and controlled according to quality standards appropriate for their intended use.

Where are your supplements manufactured?

Are your products third-party tested?

PalmaVita has every batch of products tested by an independent third-party quality control entity. Every batch is also “finish-tested” for gliadin and casein after manufacture so that we can ensure the products are 100% gliadin- and casein-free. PalmaVita does not use gluten or dairy in manufacturing, but we finish-test anyway to ensure no cross contamination could have occurred.

Are your supplements safe for pregnant/nursing individuals?

Consult your doctor if you can take supplements while pregnant or nursing.

Food sensitivity concerns

Xanthan Gum

Xanthan gum is used as an emulsifier in the liquid products for better absorption. The xanthan is grown from bacteria on a growth medium. The growth medium is corn starch. However, the corn starch is completely consumed by the bacteria, so when it is tested after manufacture, there is no detectable corn in the finished product. It is tested by multiple independent entities and designated not to have corn as an allergen present in the product.

Some individuals also test sensitive to xanthan gum on the Cyrex Array 10 panel.

The products that contain xanthan gum are Bioavaili-D, Sollmega-3, ResveraSorb XL, TurmeraSorb XL.

It is possible for us to make soft gel versions of these products that do not use xanthan gum. Please let us know if you’re interested and we can look into adding those if there is demand.

Citric acid

The citric acid is grown from bacteria on a growth medium. The growth medium is corn starch. However, the corn starch is completely consumed by the bacteria, so when it is tested after manufacture, there is no detectable corn in the finished product. It is tested by multiple independent entities and designated not to have corn as an allergen present in the product.

Natural flavors

Natural flavors are derived from fruit. However, if you know you react to natural flavors, to be on the safe side, we suggest avoiding powdered and liquid supplements as they have banana, citrus, and berry natural flavors.

Gluten

Every batch of nutraceuticals is “finish-tested” for gliadin and casein (gluten and dairy) after manufacture so that we can ensure the products are 100% gliadin- and casein-free.

PalmaVita does not use gluten or dairy in manufacturing, but we finish-test anyway to ensure no cross contamination could have occurred.

Dairy

Every batch of nutraceuticals is “finish-tested” for gliadin and casein (gluten and dairy) after manufacture so that we can ensure the products are 100% gliadin- and casein-free.

PalmaVita does not use gluten or dairy in manufacturing, but we finish-test anyway to ensure no cross contamination could have occurred.

Robusta Flora may contain milk below the detection limit as one of the strains is grown on a dairy medium. While there is not enough dairy to be detected, individuals extremely sensitive to dairy may want to avoid this product.

SI-Ally does not contain any traces of dairy.

Fish

Bioavaili-D: Contains fish.

Sollmega-3: Contains fish.

Soy

Flowzyme GB: While there is no soy protein in any of our products, Flowzyme GB contains a very isolated soy lipid (fat). Because it is a fat and not a protein, it theoretically cannot cause an immune response, but extremely soy-sensitive patients may want to avoid it.

Ginseng

Biphazyme DTX: The panax ginseng is stimulating to some people, so avoid use before bedtime.

HPAdaptone: The panax ginseng is stimulating to some people, so avoid use before bedtime.

Chocolate

Hepato RLS: Contains chocolate (cocoa).

Not vegan

Not vegan: Sollmega-3, Bioavaili-D, RobustaFlora, Hepato RLS.
