Frequently Asked Questions
WHERE ARE QUANTUM SUPPLEMENT INGREDIENTS SOURCED?
Quantum Nutrition Labs (QNL) meticulously sources all of its ingredients, accepting only those that meet the highest quality standards for identity, purity, strength, and composition. We strive to procure sustainably produced botanicals and innovative nutrient blends to deliver the best, most bioavailable ingredients for each of our products.

Once received, all raw materials are held in a 10-day quarantine for an in-depth inspection. We test samples from every shipment lot in our state-of-the-art, USP-certified laboratory. After ingredients are proven to be safe, pure, and free of contaminants, they are moved into the manufacturing phase of supplement development.

HOW ARE YOUR SUPPLEMENTS TESTED?
We guarantee the quality and consistency of every supplement we offer by using cutting-edge testing equipment and practices and running multiple tests on each ingredient, including:

  • Heavy metal testing
  • Microbial testing for contaminants
  • Microscopy to evaluate botanical identity
  • High-performance thin layer chromatography, which looks at levels of active phytochemicals within a plant
At QNL, our rigorous testing protocols guarantee that our products are free from toxins, pesticides and herbicides, and steroid and antibiotic residues.

In addition to performing in-house testing, we engage numerous third parties to validate the quality of our products. Our manufacturing facility is certified by independent testing agencies like USP and NSF. Many of our products are further certified by the Non-GMO Project, OU Kosher, and USDA Organic.

Lastly, the vitality of the ingredients tested is screened using energetic assessment methods based on an applied kinesiology method known as the Bi-Digital O-Ring Test, developed by Dr. Yoshiaki Omura.1 This method has been an integral part of QNL’s ingredient sourcing and formulation development.

ARE QUANTUM NUTRITION SUPPLEMENTS GMO-FREE?
We use organic, non-GMO raw ingredients in our supplements whenever possible. The following formulations have been certified by a trusted non-profit organization called Non-GMO Project Verified:
DOES QUANTUM TEST FOR STABILITY?
Yes, we test our products at a wide range of storage conditions, including stressed conditions to simulate advanced degradation scenarios that can include relative humidity up to 75% and temperatures as high as 104 degrees Fahrenheit to ensure the product remains stable when stored as directed on the label.

We also use nitrogen or argon flushes on many products to remove oxygen from their storage containers, extending the shelf-life. We also add moisture desiccants to keep the product dry.

Furthermore, we store our products in our exclusive VioliteTM containers. These dark violet-colored, polyethylene bottles are designed to prevent radiation damage to the ingredients by blocking light wave frequencies between 450 and 720 nanometers.

WHAT ARE EXCIPIENTS?
Excipients are binders, fillers, and "glues" that are added to many supplements to prevent clumping of powdered ingredients and improve efficiency in manufacturing. Typically, excipients do not have nutritional value and their ingestion can cause adverse effects, toxicity, allergic responses, and drug interactions.

At Quantum Nutrition Labs, we do not use any non-nutritive excipients in the manufacturing of our products. Our products are designed to provide pure, clean nutritional supplementation without any toxic tagalongs that can harm the body.

Quantum Nutrition Labs offers capsules, powders, and liquid supplements, but not tablets. This is because tablets almost always require non-nutritive binding agents to manufacture. When you choose a Quantum Nutrition product, you can be assured that its contents are pure.

DO QUANTUM PRODUCTS CONTAIN HYDROGENATED OIL, FLAVORING ADDITIVES, ARTIFICIAL COLORS, OR FRAGRANCE?
No, we do not use hydrogenated oils, nor do we use any additives that alter the flavor, color, or fragrance of the product. Our products are also made without:

  • Added preservatives like potassium sorbate
  • Non-nutritive excipients like magnesium stearate
  • Talcum powder, an anti-clumping powder and suspected carcinogen
ARE QUANTUM PRODUCTS CERTIFIED KOSHER?
We offer 52 products that are certified kosher by Orthodox Union Kosher, the world’s largest and most widely recognized international kosher certification agency.
HOW ARE YOUR VEGETABLE CAPSULES SOURCED?
Our vegetable capsules are made from tree fiber. Our Certificate of Analysis (CoA) verifies that no undesirable solvents are used to make our capsules. Solvent-free vegetable capsules offer superior digestibility and purity while providing beneficial fiber.

Vegetable capsules are a healthier alternative to solvent-tainted vegetable capsules, tablets, and animal-based gelatin capsules, all of which contain chemical preservatives and other contaminants.

WHEN SHOULD I TAKE MY SUPPLEMENTS?
The ideal timing depends on the specific supplement. If digestive upset occurs, try taking supplements after having a bite of yogurt, a teaspoon of nut butter, or a cracker. For specific recommendations, please refer to the label's recommended use and discuss it with a health professional.
MY ORDER ARRIVED AND THE CAPSULES LOOK DIFFERENT THAN LAST TIME.
We source ingredients only in their unrefined state, so you may notice that the color, texture, and even odor of a product may vary somewhat between batches and across seasons. Despite these natural variations, each product contains its exact formula and is rigorously tested for purity.
WHEN DO YOUR PRODUCTS EXPIRE?
The FDA does not require an expiration date to be listed on dietary supplements due to a lack of standardized methods in the industry to determine the date of expiration. As a result, we print a date of manufacture on our products. It’s six digits (YYMMDD or Year Month Day) followed by a 5-digit item code. For example, 231016-12191 would mean Brain Support was manufactured October 16, 2023.

We package our products in our exclusive Violite® containers, which are designed to prevent radiation damage by blocking light wave frequencies between 450 and 720 nanometers. We also flush our bottles with nitrogen or argon gas to remove oxygen before applying an induction seal for maximum freshness.

WHAT ARE THE SHIPPING COSTS?

For additional information, check out our Quantum Plant Multi-Vitamin blog post.
WHAT MAKES D3 GOLD DIFFERENT FROM OTHER VITAMIN D3 SUPPLEMENTS?
Our expertly crafted Vitamin D3 Gold is a cleaner, more effective option compared to other vitamin D3 supplements in a few ways:

  • We use a natural source of vitamin D3 that does not contain common allergens like peanut or soybean oil.
  • We do not use any chemical additives such as added coloring agents, flavors, or magnesium stearate.
  • Vitamin D3 Gold is delivered in a fat-soluble base (extra virgin olive oil) for improved absorption.
  • Vitamin D3 Gold provides 1,000 mg of vitamin D3 in a single drop.
WHY IS IMMUNE SUPPORT IMPORTANT?
The immune system is an incredibly complex network of organs, tissues, glands, and cells that find and respond to harmful foreign invaders like viruses and bacteria, which can cause disease. The immune system relies on various micronutrients, such vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin D, vitamin E, selenium, beta-carotene, iron, and zinc, for optimal functioning. Deficiencies in these and other phytonutrients can lead to increased risk for infection and longer recovery periods.

Ideally, we would get all the essential immune-boosting vitamins and minerals we need by eating nutritious foods. However, it can be difficult to maintain a balanced diet for many reasons. Even if you consume a nutrient-rich diet, industrial farming practices have eroded the microbiome of the soil our food is grown in and with it the nutritional value of most food products. As a result, it's critical to take targeted supplements that support your immune system.

DOES QUANTUM HAVE ANY MENOPAUSE-SUPPORT SUPPLEMENTS?
Quantum Women’s Power is formulated with powerful nutrients to support optimal functioning during menopause:

  • Libifem®. This fenugreek seed extract is clinically proven to support sexual health and promote menopausal comfort.*
  • LJ100®. Our Tongkat Ali ingredient is sourced from LJ100™, a standardized root extract of Eurycoma longifolia which consistently delivers evidence-based potency. Tongkat Ali root has a long history of safe use as a natural option for improving testosterone levels and supporting reproductive health.*
  • Women's Botanical Power Blend. This blend includes nutritive, zinc-rich pumpkin seed powder, hormone-balancing saw palmetto berry, and the energizing bioactive components from fermented cordyceps extract and American ginseng.*
ARE THERE SUPPLEMENTS THAT CAN HELP ME SLEEP?
Clinical evidence supports the use of several different supplements for promoting restful sleep. These include:

  • Melatonin. This sleep-promoting hormone is naturally released by the body in the hours leading up to bedtime. Melatonin supplementation may help support a healthy sleep-wake cycle especially when you’re trying to realign your natural sleep rhythm due to shift work or jet lag. However, it’s important to use melatonin cautiously as scientists lack information on its long-term effects.
  • Magnesium. Magnesium deficiency is increasingly common and may cause nighttime symptoms like leg cramps. Easy for the body to absorb, magnesium glycinate is known for its calming properties and may promote relaxation and sleep. Research indicates that supplementing with magnesium may help some individuals fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.
  • Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia). Essential oil components of English lavender, like linalool and terpineol, support sleep by reducing stress and activity in the central nervous system, lowering blood pressure, and potentially improving mood. Lavender has a long history of use in natural medicine for its calming properties and possesses limited risk for side effects. Lavender oil can be taken by mouth or administered through aromatherapy.
  • Valerian (Valeriana officinalis). This root extract contains many bioactive chemicals that can have moderate sedative and relaxing effects on the body. A possible mechanism by which valerian may improve sleep is by increasing the amount of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a calming neurochemical in the brain.11 Some studies have shown valerian to help people fall asleep faster and sleep more throughout the night.
  • L-theanine. An amino acid found in tea leaves, L-theanine is another substance that triggers the release of GABA.12 L-theanine naturally calms anxiety, enhances relaxation, and provides a safe natural sleep aid without drowsiness.13 L-theanine should be used carefully as it can interact with other medications.
