No, there are no genetically modified ingredients in Vital All-In-One.

Green Tea (Camellis sinensis) in Vital All-In-One contains 5-7% maximum caffeine. This equates to 3.35 to 4.69mg of caffeine per serving size. (a cup of coffee has about 100mg of caffeine).

According to regulatory guidelines, this is considered to be termed to provide a small amount of caffeine. The amount of caffeine is below the threshold where it needs to be stated on the label in actual mg as any amount under 10mg is considered (from technical regulatory perspective) to be only a small amount.

Yes

Yes although we use a high quality extract that is taken from the wall of a yeast cell, called Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This does not mean Vital All-In-One contains yeast. All of the yeast cell is discarded – it is only the beta glucans compound that we extract out and include in the actual product.

Because Vital All-In-One formula does contain many fruits, the sugars are all naturally occurring. The natural flavours we use are vanilla & pineapple, as well as sweeter ingredients like apple powder contributing to the taste. Our sweetener complex makes up less than 0.35% of the total formula the other more than 99.65% is made up of all the other ingredients in the formula. We are not trying to hide anything, everything that is listed on the label is in Vital All-In-One the sugars simply come from the range of fruits in the formula.

Yes Vital All-In-One is wheat free and gluten free. Wheat grass is suitable for people avoiding gluten and wheat because it is cut when it is very young; at this stage the grass does not contain any gluten. The gluten is present in the wheat kernel, after the wheat plant has grown for a long time.

Inulin is a plant-derived carbohydrate that is not digested or absorbed in the small intestine, but is fermented in the colon by beneficial bacteria. It functions as a prebiotic, stimulating growth of bifidobacteria in the intestine, and has been associated with the enhanced function of the gastrointestinal system and immune system (Di Bartolomeo et al 2013, Lopez-Molina et al 2005). Increasing levels of beneficial bacteria, such as bifidobacteria, allow them to outcompete potentially detrimental organisms and improve the health of the host. Inulin also increases calcium and magnesium absorption, influences blood glucose levels and reduces the levels of cholesterol and serum lipids. Globe artichoke contains 3% of fresh-weight inulin and smaller amounts are found in the leaves. According to animal studies, this concentration is sufficient to favourably affect the intestinal health (Goi et al 2005).

We actually do not test for iodine (not required). Vegetables can contain iodine if it is present in the soil they are grown in, so his product may not be suitable for someone who has been diagnosed with Hashimotos.

The sweetener we use in Vital All-In-One is organic Thaumatin. It is an intense sweet protein naturally extracted from the seed shells of the West African Katemfe fruit. In past formulations of Vital Greens we have used stevia, however feedback from customers has told us the taste was too artificial, and feedback has been very positive since the introduction of Thaumatin in our range.

While Vital All-In-One should not replace fruit and vegetables in your diet, it contains the antioxidant equivalent of 8 10 serves of fruit and vegetables. Vital All-In-One supports the national dietary guidelines for Australians that encourage the intake of a wide variety of nutritious foods daily*. * As recommended by the Australian Government Department for Health & Ageing

The B12 dose in Vital All-In-One is 0.8 mcg. The recommended daily intake (RDI) is 2.4 mcg per day, meaning Vital All-In-One provides approximately one third of the RDI. There is no established upper limit for Vitamin B12, and no adverse effects have been associated with excess intake from food or supplements in healthy individuals.

Siberian Ginseng is not classified a true Ginseng. Its botanical name is Eleutherococcus senticosus. Siberian Ginseng is in a class of herb called an adaptogen, which helps the body manage and adapt to stress and is totally appropriate to consume daily, as are all the ingredients in Vital All-In-One.

The restriction you have raised does apply to Korean Ginseng as it is what the Chinese call a stimulatory warming tonic, and it is not appropriate for people under 50 to consume on a regular basis.

Cocoa Beans do contain a small amount of caffeine naturally. This equates to approx. 0.24mg of caffeine in every 10g daily serve of Vital All-In-One. This is a very small amount. An average cup of coffee has approx. 100mg of caffeine.

Vital Greens has no added iron. Some of the ingredients contain iron naturally, especially green leafy plants, so this does contribute to your daily iron requirement. If you are iron deficient or anaemic, you will need to still follow the advice of your healthcare professional and add a suitable iron supplement to your daily routine.

Please note that your Iron supplement must be taken at a different time to Vital Greens for best absorption results.

With 78 ingredients, it contains the antioxidant equivalent of 8 – 10 serves of fruit and vegetables but is not intended to replace your intake of healthy foods including fruits and vegetables. It is designed to be taken daily in conjunction with a healthy balanced diet. You can add Vital All-In-One to a smoothie or mix it up with Vital Protein to give it an extra nutritional boost.

Adult (12years +): 2 heaped teaspoons (10g) daily.

For those new to Vital All-In-One, we recommend for the first 2-4 weeks while your body is adjusting to start with half a dose, which is one teaspoon (5g), then gradually increase to a full dose.

For Children under 12 years, due to the detoxing herbs, we would recommend talking to your health care practitioner before taking Vital All-In-One. Or take as directed by your practitioner.

Practitioners may decrease the starting dose in pregnancy or sensitive people to lessen the possible detoxing effects.

If you are new to powdered supplements, we recommend starting on just one teaspoon per day. You can then slowly build up to the full two teaspoon dose over 2 – 4 weeks. This will help minimise any detoxing effects, like bloating, that you may experience when first taking Vital All-In-One.

Vital All-In-One is designed to be taken daily and ongoing.

First thing in the morning on an empty stomach is ideal, however you may take Vital All-In-One any time of the day. Vital All-In-One is best taken before meals or at least one hour after meals to help with maximum absorption.

We recommend keeping Vital All-In-One in the fridge once it is opened, due to the probiotic (micro-organisms) content. Probiotics are living organisms and need to be kept in the refrigerator to minimize the loss of potency, but as they are freeze dried this does not become an issue until the tub is opened, as the probiotics need air and warmth to live. Alternatively, you can keep Vital All-In-One in a cool, dark place, but ideally the fridge is best. We recommend consuming Vital All-In-One within 90 days of opening (and in the fridge) to maintain potency & freshness.

We do not test Vital All-In-One specifically for the level of oxalates. You will see from the ingredient list that the formula does contain some typically high oxalate foods, such as spinach leaf & kale. We would be more than happy to send you some samples & a product leaflet if you wanted some further information to review and/or discuss with your healthcare practitioner.

Yes this is completely normal. Our Vital All-In-One tubs are filled by a machine and each pack has been filled to a pre-set level to the exact weight of each container (120gm, 300gm, 600gm, 1kg), and there is space in the container. This is consistent across all sizes.

Vital All-In-One contains 78 ingredients. At times, there may be discrepancies between each batch due to the inclusion of so many natural ingredients.
Because of the nature of the ingredients that we use, we do find that there can be variations in texture, taste and appearance with each batch of Vital All-In-One. We use the most natural ingredients that are available at the time: much like the fruit & vegetables we grow & buy, our ingredients may be affected by weather, the time of year, and other seasonal variations.

However, be assured that each batch contains all 78 vital ingredients and are always at the same proportion to work in synergy for maximum effect.

The vitamins & minerals in Vital All-In-One are natural or naturally derived where possible.

In some instances, we do need to source synthetically derived vitamins and minerals when we are unable to source them in their natural or naturally derived state. This may change from each batch depending on what is available at time of manufacture as we aim to make the most natural product as possible at time of manufacture.

There was a supply issue with Barley Sprouts and as Barley Leaf has the same nutritional panel, we had to modify the formula ever so slightly.

In Australia, it is not possible to source and supply each of the 78 Vital All-In-One ingredients in a certified organic form.

The previous label included the message Contains Certified Organic Ingredients on the front of pack. This information has not changed: we have just taken it off the front of pack.
If you look at the ingredient listing on the back of the new label, you will see all our certified organic ingredients listed: most of these are found under Greens, Vegetables and High Nutrient Fruits and these have not altered from the previous pack.

Generally Vital All-In-One is very well tolerated. Vital All-In-One contains ingredients that cleanse and detox the system, thus some people may experience mild symptoms when you first start taking Vital All-In-One. This may include mild nausea, bloating, excessive flatulence, general gut discomfort or a minor skin irritation.

If this does occur, we recommend reducing the serve of Vital All-In-One by half while your body adjusts (approx. 2 4 weeks), and then gradually increase to the full 10g serve.

Vital All-In-One is not a listed medicine and therefore contraindications as such are limited.

As greens are naturally high in vitamin K we do advise caution for people who are on blood thinners as vitamin K may cause further blood thinning. Our in house pharmacist advises to separate the serve of Vital All-In-One from antibiotics by 2 hours so that the antibiotics do not cancel out the effects of the probiotics.

If you have sodium or potassium restrictions as a result of any medication or your condition is considered serious it is always advised to seek the advice of your general practitioner. We are not allowed to give medical advice as we are not qualified to do so.
