Isn't it a contradiction to provide Vitamin D above 100 %?

A Vitamin D
deficiency is typically associated with excessive fatigue and tiredness
but can also be linked to a myriad of other health problems such as
getting sick easily, experiencing low bone mineral density, muscle pain
and hair loss.
Accordingly a recent study that was published in the
Journal of Adolescent Health demonstrated that 96% of adolescents in
Saudi Arabia have a severe Vitamin D deficiency  (AlBuhairan, F. et al.
Time for an Adolescent Health Surveillance System in Saudi Arabia:
Findings from “Jeeluna” Journal of Adolescent Health, 2015).

Adequate
amounts of Vitamin D cannot be obtained from a normal diet and a
limited amount is produced by our bodies through exposure to the
sunlight.
Due to our life style choices and religious beliefs we do
not expose ourselves to the sun long enough to promote optimal Vitamin D
production in the body.

Furthermore, the body does not readily
process Vitamin D. So in order to improve the body‘s ability to use
Vitamin D and to be on the safe side, we increased the serving to 150%
of the RDA.

Why not only consume Vitamin D then?

We want to make sure that your body gets the right balance of vitamins,
minerals and other ingredients in order for it to function optimally and
support you during your daily tasks and lifestyle.
In addition, If
you look up all the ingredients provided by “Essentials” you will see
that you are basically getting the content of 3-4 supplements in the
form of 1.

Why does the supplement bottle has such a wide neck?

We experienced
many customers not wanting to “touch” the tablets and put them back
into the bottle (hands moist after washing, hand sanitiser/crème, etc.).

With
a standard bottle neck size you would need to “shake” the tablet out of
the bottle usually getting more than 1 tablet on your hand. As the
serving size is 1 tablet you will put but the remaining tablets back
into the bottle.

With the wide neck you can conveniently single
pick your individual tablet. Other customers prefer to “shake” the
tablet(s) into the cap and pick it from there.

What is the best way to open the lid/seal?

By the time you hold your Multi Vitamin & Mineral in your hands it
will most likely have travelled at least half around the world going
through various altitude
and climate zones. To make sure the product
reaches you in the utmost pristine condition we opted for a so called
heat seal packaging process which ensures a hermetic and water tight
(think condensation, etc.) seal. The slightly disadvantage is that by
its nature it is a little bit harder to open for the 1st time. It takes a
little bit more effort to turn the lid open for the 1st time and once
you see the seal you can either peel it from the outside in or pinch it
in the center and peel it inside out. You can also pinch the center with
an object (scissors, knife, fork, etc.). Don’t worry about damaging the
tablets as there is cotton wool and plenty of space in-between the
tablets and the seal for further safety.

Is your product truly halal certified or is it simply free of haram ingredients?

“Essentials” is truly halal certified by the internationally recognized
organization IFANCA which is the biggest in its field certifying for
hundreds of companies worldwide.
This means that not only are the
ingredients and the finished product halal-certified but so is the
complete manufacturing process with on-site visits.
Only truly
IFANCA certified companies like ourselves are allowed to prominently
display the IFANCA certification stamp on their product. For more
information about IFANCA please visit www.ifanca.org.

Most supplement companies offer a great variety of products. Why do you only offer one?

Blue Angel Farm is an owner run business. This means instead of focusing on quantity we concentrate on quality.

We
also make sure that all our ingredients are carefully studied and that
their health benefits are scientifically as well as clinically proven
(please contact feedback@blueangelfarm.com in case you can‘t access the literature links provided for further reading).

We
are currently working on additional products but we will never
introduce a product to market until we are 100% convinced about its
effectiveness and proven health benefits for our customers.

Why did you add Glutathione, Inositol, Bamboo Extract, Coenzyme Q10, Hyaluronic acid and Probiotics to your Multivitamin?

Many customers find it confusing and a hassle to take different health
supplements from different bottles and at different times during the
day. In line with our 1 serving/day approach we were able to add above
ingredients to our Multivitamin without increasing the serving size.
These health supplement ingredients are not yet as well researched as
vitamins and minerals but 1st studies about their benefits are
promising.
