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.

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

QNL was created by Dr. Robert Marshall, Ph.D., CCN, who practiced clinical nutrition for more than 30 years and hosted “HealthLine Now,” a radio show that helped listeners with their health and wellness goals. His whole foods approach to dietary supplementation, which included avoiding nonnutritive excipients and other common, commercially used additives, were, and still are, the foundation of our clean, high-quality, wellness products.

The philosophy behind our “quantum” approach to nutrition is that all living organisms possess a bioenergetic field that transcends physical matter. This biofield can be invigorated by whole food nutrients and phytochemicals that support the body's bioenergetic field, cellular health, and overall functioning. By exclusively utilizing the purest natural ingredients to create our products, Quantum Nutrition Labs aims to harmonize your body with the natural world and help you live your healthiest, most vibrant life.

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.

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.

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.

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.
