Absolutely Not! Our philosophy at TruWell is to use only nutrients that work with the body to enhance its natural abilities, not artificially stimulate it. Stimulants have been shown to be very dangerous to individuals who are not strong enough to handle the intense stimulation caused to the cardiovascular system.

Which Nutritional Supplements should I take and how do I know what to look for in a supplement?

The number one thing to look for in a supplement is quality. For example, you should look for Amino Acid Chelated Minerals over mineral salts such as Magnesium Oxide and Calcium Carbonate. This is one indication that the manufacturer cut corners to save money rather than give you the best possible product. Look for Natural Vitamin E versus synthetic. And most definitely liquids, powders and capsules over tablets. Tablets have the worst biological availability of any dosage form and most of the tablet is actually excreted from the body rather than absorbed and utilized. And remember, you get what you pay for. Quality is expensive. If a supplement is inexpensive, most likely that supplement uses substandard ingredients and cheap, inactive mineral salts and the results you desire will be hard to come by. How good you feel when you take a supplement says a lot about the quality and effectiveness of the product you take.

Why do I need supplements? Can't I get everything I need from foods?

A study conducted by the USDA showed that foods today do not contain the amounts of nutrients necessary for optimal function. In fact, some foods contained less than 20% of the nutrients they did a few years ago. Not to mention the prevalence of a diet heavily reliable upon fast foods and processed foods which have little or no nutrient value. With all things being considered, supplementation is totally necessary if one is striving to achieve optimal performance in life.

Does TruWell have a technical staff that formulates TruWell products?

Yes, TruWell's staff includes a Ph.D. in Molecular Chemistry, a Certified Clinical Nutritionist, a Registered Pharmacist, a Biochemist and a Food Technologist.
