Do I need to keep them refrigerated ?
Our supplements are best kept in the fridge as we do not add any preservatives or nasties to them.
The sticky supplements can solidify and turn hard and the oily supplements can turn to oil. You would lose around 15%-30% of their potency if this happens.
50% of our supplements are sticky or oily so it is best to store them in the fridge to stop this from happening.
Dosage of our supplements
Our supplement dosages are based on thorough research and expert consultations. Before purchasing, please review the product details carefully and consult with a healthcare professional for personalized advice. We value informed decisions and feedback but cannot provide individualized medical guidance.
Lastly our products often contain higher dosages than standard recommendations, reflecting our belief in going beyond mere sustenance to help you thrive.
Opinion emails: Why do you offer certain products when others claim X,Y,Z?
At British Supplements, we appreciate the diversity of opinions about supplements. Our goal is to provide a range of products to suit various preferences and requirements.
While we value customer input, we do not engage in debates about personal opinions on supplements. All of the details of each product are repeated on each product page multiple times just scroll down.
An example of a question that would not get a reply is:
Why do you make and sell Vitamin D3 10,000IU when my doctor told me not to take over 400IU of vitamin D3.
My reply would be that we care, but then we start down the systematic dogma, plus its illegal for us to advise you on anything. If we say this does X the MHRA (Big Pharma) classifies it as medicine. It is the same with any scientific links on our website, that is why there are none.
What is the difference between the Lions Mane supplements ?
We offer three distinct Lion's Mane supplements, each formulated with a different focus on the mushroom's beneficial compounds. Here's a breakdown to help you choose the one that best suits your needs:
Lion's Mane with 40% Polysaccharides:
What is it?
This is our standard Lion's Mane supplement, enriched with polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are known for their general health benefits.
Who is it for?
Ideal for those who have heard about Lion's Mane's potential benefits for overall well-being and are looking for a reliable, everyday supplement.
Lion's Mane Triterpenoids:
What is it?
This special formulation focuses on a different set of compounds known as triterpenoids, unique components found in Lion's Mane.
Who is it for?
We recommend this version for individuals who have specific knowledge or interest in the properties of triterpenoids. If you're uncertain about triterpenoids or their effects, you might prefer starting with our standard polysaccharides-rich supplement.
Lion's Mane Beta Glucans:
What is it?
Another specialized version, this supplement is rich in beta-glucans, known for their own set of health-promoting properties.
Who is it for?
This is for customers who are specifically interested in the benefits of beta-glucans. As with triterpenoids, if you're not familiar with beta-glucans, our standard Lion's Mane supplement may be more suitable for your needs.
Important Note: While we're passionate about the potential health benefits of Lion's Mane, regulations in the UK restrict us from making health claims about dietary supplements. This is why we don't specify the exact benefits of these ingredients.
We encourage you to conduct your own research and to read our previews on each product page to understand more about these compounds and how they might benefit your health. Our priority is to provide options and support your wellness journey, respecting regulatory guidelines.
Can I open the capsules?
You can open the capsules, but it is best to take them in the capsule(s).
If have difficulty swallowing the capsule(s) the second best option is to pour the powder into a shot of water and take it that way. Food dilutes the supplements.
