Frequently Asked Questions
Short answer no. None of our products require refrigeration, however we do recommend storing them in a cool place away from direct heat and light for maximum freshness.
Our products do not require an MFG date stamp however the shelf life of each product depends on their storage conditions. Each formula is good for 2 years after this date so long as they are stored in a cool place out of direct light. Our tea expires because of storage conditions, getting into contact with air and being exposed to mold, heat or water. The average shelf life of our tea can range from 6-12 months at which point it can lose much of it’s oily flavor.

Our website provides each supplement fact label and ingredient information that your doctor may use to advise you further.

And of course, because we are all bioindividual, it's important to ask your practitioner first before beginning or combining any dietary supplements within your regimen.
