Frequently Asked Questions
Why do you include excipients like capsule shells or anti‑caking agents?
Excipients are inactive ingredients that keep supplements stable and consistent (e.g., helping powders flow evenly or protecting actives from moisture). We use only the minimum necessary, choose plant‑based options where possible (e.g., HPMC capsules), and we never use bulking agents. Everything is assessed for safety and suitability.
How do you choose your ingredient suppliers?
We partner with globally recognised suppliers who can provide Certificates of Analysis, third‑party testing, full traceability, and responsible sourcing. Where helpful, we use branded ingredients (e.g., Creapure® Creatine, KSM‑66® Ashwagandha) for their purity, standardisation and scientific backing.
Are all ingredients third‑party tested?
Yes. Raw materials are tested for identity, purity, heavy metals and microbiology. Finished batches are also tested to verify potency and safety before release.
How do I know which supplement is right for me?
Try our quick Build My Stack tool to get personalised suggestions based on your goals and lifestyle. You can also explore product pages from the A–Z or contact our support team for tailored guidance.
What makes Love Life Supplements different?
Transparent labels, no unnecessary fillers, no bulking agents, science‑led formulations, and rigorous testing. We publish clear ingredient information and use high‑quality raw materials backed by research.
