FAQ

[Who is Dr. Harrison Weisinger (Dr. Harry)?]

Dr Harry is a family doctor in Australia but has also worked in the UK, Europe and the United States. He did a Masters and Ph.D. looking into the effects of nutrition on brain development, bodyweight and blood pressure. Throughout his working career as medical doctor, university professor, and scientist, Dr Harry has committed his life to improving human health.

 

Having often been asked by his patients about various supplements, he realised that the evidence for most of them was inadequate and unsatisfying. With a commitment to providing better supplements and better evidence, with his good friends, he co-founded Truth Origins.

[What is Bio-availability?]

You always hear the term "bioavailability" in health supplements and pharmaceuticals. It means how much of a consumed supplement makes its way into the bloodstream.

 

Something with poor bioavailability never really has a chance to work. Water-solubility is a massive step towards bioavailability, and this is why we’re so excited with the product range we’ve developed.

 

Our water solubility means that the Curcumin is absorbed throughout the digestive tract, which increases the amount of cucuminoids in the blood stream.

 

[What are essential supplements?]

 

Essential nutrients are those that the body cannot produce on its own. That means the only way to get them is through the diet or with supplements. For instance, unlike most other mammals, humans are unable to synthesize Vitamin C so it is, by definition, essential and must be consumed in the diet.

 

Our Vitamin C is completely natural, and water soluble ensuring maximum absorption for the best possible results. The same goes for omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, which are crucial for normal function and development.



[What are free radicals?]

Free radicals are biochemically ‘unstable’ particles that are produced by your body during every-day metabolism. These particles can cause damage to our cells through a process known as oxidation.

 

Most scientist agree that anti-oxidants through food and supplements can destroy or neutralise free radicals.

 

[The difference between water-soluble and fat soluble (Liposomal)]

The difference between water-soluble and fat soluble (liposomal) isn't so much about how it's "delivered to the cells".It is more about absorption of the vitamins from the digestive tract.Depending upon the size of the molecule, water-soluble substances can be absorbed passively (and in some cases actively) pretty much along the entire length of the gastro-intestinal tract (from the stomach right along to the large intestine).Substances that aren't water soluble require a different means to make their way into the bloodstream.Liposomes are spherical vesicles used to deliver non-soluble or larger molecules across the gut.This is a common means of delivering pharmaceutical agents (e.g. medication).


[Who should take these supplements?]



Good question. As much as we think the answer to this really is 'everyone’, the reality is that clean and natural supplements are expensive.It costs about $2.5 per day to use one of our supplements. Most of our customers are proactive in innovative health research, have dietary restrictions (ethical or strategic), or athletes. We think most people could benefit from a range of products like ours, which are plant-based and designed for maximum absorption and impact!



[What is the difference between our Curcumin and normal tumeric/curcumin supplements?]



We only use the highest quality ingredients.

 

we are ALL NATURAL

100% plant based ingredients

not produced synthetically

free of all petrochemicals

not extracted or processed using petrochemicals.

not extracted or processed using anything other than natural ingredients as solvents

not exposed to irradiation

not genetically engineered & do not contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms)

Other curcumin supplements will contain thickeners and other synthetic ingredients.

 

our product is WATER SOLUBLE

 

Liquid form ensures better absorption into the bloodstream than powder/capsule based products.

 

our product  is SUPER CONCENTRATED CURCUMINOIDS

 

In 6 pumps of our curcumin (one serving) = 100mg curcuminoids



[How are these products made without toxins for extraction?]

Our Curcumin is sourced from Organically grown Turmeric from India. Our extraction process is done without petrochemicals and we are focused on preventing oxidation, by using cold pressing and UV blocking glass bottles. And we don’t use any petrochemicals in extraction.



[WHY ARE YOU WORRIED ABOUT OXIDATION?]



Light and oxygen are the perfect conditions for oxidation.

 

Think about what happens if you leave a slice of apple in the sunlight. The vibrant white fruit compound will rapidly turn brown.This can happen to any food or supplement, especially ours that are ONLY plant-based. We don't want to add any toxic food preservatives or stabilisers, so we sourced the best possible UV blocking bottles in the world.



[HOW DO YOU PREVENT OXIDATION?]

Our entire process of plant picking to shipping is tightly measured and planned.

 

Our products are bottled directly into Miron glass bottles, the world leader in glass technology. This preserves the integrity and potency of our product in your body.


[Curcumin/Vitamin C/Omegas: How to take it]

Mix in water, a cold drink, or a smoothie. Simply put 6 pumps in and blend it with the other ingredients. Mix with tea or coffee (though you should avoid

putting them in boiling liquid).

 

Mix in food if you like. Add it to your morning cereal, or even homemade ice cream. You can take our supplements neat by pumping them straight into

your mouth.

 

Or mix all 3 together into a small glass of water.

 

Curcumin is very strong in taste (earthy taste), it is best in smoothies or black coffee!

 

Vitamin C is sweet in taste - strawberry flavour. Nice in most things!



[How long does it take to notice a difference?]

Most people report that they feel the benefits after two to three weeks, others take a little longer. Curcumin takes a while to build up in your bloodstream so the most important thing is that you take it daily to see results. Some people double the dose when they are under some specific challenges.

 

We would love to go into detail, but we are not allowed to give specific medical advice.

[Is it ok if I am following...]

Vegan = Yes, Veggie = Yes, Paleo = Yes, Ketogenic = Yes , People with diabetes = Yes, Jain = Yes



[Can I take these products if I am on other medication?]

we are closely regulated as a food supplement so cant give any medical advise.

We are not aware of any contraindications to taking our products, and as far as we know, there are no known medication interactions.

 

If you’re unsure about taking any of our supplements, we suggest you check with your regular doctor.



[What is the difference between "supported by science" and "scientifically proven"?]

 

The supplement industry is frequently called into question by various groups, including those in the pharmaceutical industry. This skepticism is certainly justified in cases where there is very little evidence-of-benefit for particular products (such as magnetic treatments or some homeopathic preparations).

 

The products we offer show enormous promise, we get them as close to the compounds and doses that have been tested in independent human, animal or in-vitro scientific studies, typically in hospital or university research departments. These studies are what we refer to as “supported by science”. We think it’s good enough to give them a try now, rather than wait for categorical proof

(see our 'carrot town' video below these FAQ section) when unquestionable scientific proof could take another 10, 20 or even 50 years.



[HOW DOES YOUR MONEY-BACK GUARANTEE WORK?]



We are fully confident in the quality of our products,  they have been great for us personally,  we want (and hope) they work for everybody. That's wishful thinking. The reality is that our genetics, physiology and challenges differ. So if you don't like our product within 60 days of receiving it, we don't want you to pay for it- It's risk free. However as we offer free tracked shipping on all orders, we can't afford the return postage. We also need 1/2 of the bottle so we can conduct lab tests to ensure quality and non-oxidation of  the product. We think that's fair. All you have to do is email talk@truthorigins.com.au and we will organise it with you.


[WHEN DO I RECEIVE MY PURCHASE?]

If you order before 12pm, we will ship it out on the same day and email you the tracking details when it leaves our warehouse. If you choose the free delivery, it will take 2-5 days. If you choose express post you should receive it within 1-2 business days to metro areas and 1-3 business days for rural areas.

Please note that some delays may be experienced because of factors out of our control such as covid-19 and the increased demand on Auspost. However, rest assured we will do everything we can to get your parcel out as quickly as possible.
