Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to consult with a doctor before taking Worthy Co. supplements?
While our supplements are made with natural, research-backed ingredients to support overall health, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before starting any new supplement; especially if you’re pregnant, breastfeeding, have a medical condition, or are taking medications. Every person’s health needs are unique, and your doctor can help you decide if our products are right for you.
Tinctures and Capsules
Tinctures:
- Formulation: Our tinctures are crafted using medical-grade alcohol, which is suitable for Muslim consumers as it’s often derived from permitted sources and used in a manner that ensures no intoxicating effects. This alcohol effectively extracts the beneficial compounds from the active ingredients, promoting optimal absorption.
- Extraction: The ingredients are soaked in the medical-grade alcohol to facilitate the extraction process, drawing out essential medicinal properties.
- Filtration and Bottling: After extraction, the mixture is carefully filtered and bottled in dark glass to protect the tincture from light, ensuring its potency and shelf life.
Capsules:
- Formulation: Our capsules contain carefully selected active ingredients, free from fillers and additives. Each component is chosen to ensure efficacy and quality.
- Encapsulation: We use vegetarian capsules made from plant-based materials, which are formed into two cylindrical parts that encapsulate the supplement blend securely.
- Sealing and Polishing: After filling, capsules are sealed using heat-sealing methods to maintain freshness and quality, followed by a polishing process to enhance their appearance.
Why is there alcohol in your tincture? Is it permissible in Islam?
We use medicinal alcohol in our tinctures as a natural and effective way to extract and preserve the beneficial compounds from plants. It ensures potency, stability, and a long shelf life (up to 5 years). When diluted in water, the alcohol content becomes minimal, similar to the trace amounts found in foods like vinegar or fermented fruit. Many Islamic scholars consider such small amounts, especially when used for medicinal purposes, permissible. If you're still concerned, you can add the tincture drops to boiling water and let it cool before drinking, which will evaporate the alcohol.
Is Femme Flourish safe for breastfeeding moms?
Femme Flourish is generally safe, but breastfeeding places significant physical demands on a mother. We recommend sticking to your prenatal vitamins to best support both you and your baby during this time.
Are Worthy Co. tinctures safe for breastfeeding moms?
Yes, they are safe. However, since our tinctures contain minimal amounts of medicinal alcohol, we advise checking with your healthcare provider, particularly if your baby is under 6 months old. You can also begin with a lower dose than recommended to see how both you and your baby respond, and gradually increase to the recommended dose if you feel you can.
Are Worthy Co. tincture doses adjustable?
Yes! While we provide recommended doses for optimal results, everyone’s tolerance can differ. If you find the recommended dose too strong, feel free to lower it by 5-10 drops until you find your ideal amount.
How long does it take for your supplements to work?
Adrenal Thrive: You’ll notice increased energy within 15-30 minutes. After a few days of consistent use, you may find you need less often or in smaller doses.
Sleep Tincture: Expect to feel sleepy within 30 minutes. Make sure to turn off all electronics and lights ahead of time for the best results.
Femme Flourish: You may see improvements in mood, sleep, and reduced food cravings within a few days. Full benefits may take 6-8 weeks, especially in relation to your cycle.
Is Femme Flourish suitable for menopausal and perimenopausal women?
Femme Flourish is designed to support hormonal balance during a woman's reproductive years. While it’s not specifically targeted for menopausal or perimenopausal women, we’re continually researching ways to support various hormonal needs. For menopause-related concerns, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider to find the best options for you.
Can I take multiple Worthy Co. supplements together?
Yes, you can! Our Adrenal and Sleep tinctures can be taken daily alongside Femme Flourish capsules.
