FutureYou Ashwagandha+

As per current UK regulations, there are 14 major allergens that should be declared if present in any product. None of FutureYou's products contain:

• nuts
• peanuts
• sesame
• celery
• mustard
• cereals containing gluten, wheat, egg, lupin, sulphur dioxide or sulphites.

Some products contain soya, milk, fish, crustaceans or molluscs: when that is the case, the allergen will be highlighted in bold in the ingredient list.

As per UK regulations, a product can be classified as gluten-free if the amount of gluten is <20ppm (parts per million). FutureYou products have been tested by a UKAS accredited laboratory and they have confirmed that they have not found any gluten when testing the finished packed products. FutureYou confirm that their products are gluten-free and suitable for celiacs and people who have a gluten intolerance.

Unless it’s specified in the ingredient list, FutureYou products do not contain milk. They have tested their products for the presence of lactose by a UKAS accredited laboratory and very small amounts of lactose can be detected. The amount present in the products is far below the amount likely to affect lactose intolerance sufferers.

As the UK legislation doesn’t have a defined threshold to label a product ‘Lactose-Free’, they have decided to apply the threshold used in Germany of 100mg/100g (or 1,000ppm) to establish whether our products can be called lactose free or not. Products that are below 1,000ppm have therefore been labelled as lactose free.

In the UK, products that contain ingredients sourced from genetically modified organisms need to include such information in the label, in the way as it would contain an allergen. Therefore, if it’s not specified in the label, it won’t have any ingredient from GMO origin.

FutureYou recommend you follow the instructions printed on the packet of your supplement.

FutureYou products are manufactured to pharmaceutical standards in Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) facilities. Most of their manufacturing partners (and their packing partner) are also Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Food and Drugs Administration (FDA) approved.

They also follow Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) certification practices.

This gives them the confidence that their manufacturing facilities and practices are of the highest quality.

FutureYou also visit and inspect them routinely to ensure their facilities are maintained to their standards.

Yes. None of FutureYou products contain any ingredient made with GMO (genetically modified organisms).

• UK/EU-law (as per July 2022) requires specific labelling if a product contains GMO ingredients.

FutureYou do not use aspartame in any of their products. The following products do contain sucralose: Super Greens+, Collagen+ and Multi-Nutrient Vitamin Sticks.

No, FutureYou have not changed the formulation. As most of their products are made with natural plant extract, it is common to see a variation in the colour from batch to batch. This is because the extracts (such as curcumin or tomato) colour can vary depending on the growing conditions or time of the year it is harvested.

It really depends on the product and what the benefit might be. For the majority of products, you need to wait until the nutrient has reached sufficient levels in the body to have an effect. Remember this is not a pharmaceutical drug, and it will not have an immediate effect. You should notice a benefit after 4-8 weeks of supplementation. For most products, that should have been enough time to build up in the body and to start to have an effect.
