Our Products & Quality

Are your products really organic? What does that mean?

Nova Scotia Organics states that its products carry USDA Certified Organic status and describes this as requiring 95-100% certified-organic ingredients with independent inspection.

Do your products contain GMOs?

The company states that its products are non-GMO and made without genetically modified ingredients, synthetic chemicals, or fillers.

Are your products gluten-free?

The company states that its products are gluten-free, peanut-free, soy-free, dairy-free, and free from magnesium stearate.

Are your products vegan?

Most products are described as vegan. Some products containing calcium use organic chicken eggshell, so individual product descriptions should be checked.

What does 'synthetics free' mean?

Nova Scotia Organics uses this term to mean no artificial colours, flavours, preservatives, or fillers.

Are your products safe during pregnancy?

The company advises checking product cautions and speaking with an obstetrician or healthcare professional before starting a supplement during pregnancy.

What is freeze-drying and why do you use it?

Freeze-drying, or lyophilization, removes moisture at low temperatures and is used to preserve nutritional content and extend shelf life. Nova Scotia Organics operates freeze-drying equipment at its Nova Scotia facility.

What's the difference between the capsules and the tinctures?

Capsules are a solid format swallowed with water, while tinctures are liquid herbal extracts. The preferred format generally comes down to personal preference.

How do I know which product is right for me?

Individual product pages provide information about benefits and ingredients. For advice based on personal needs, the company recommends speaking with a healthcare professional.

How should I store my supplements?

Products should generally be stored at 15-25 C in a cool, dark, dry place unless the label says otherwise. Keep them out of reach of children and do not use a product if its safety seal is damaged or missing.

What happens if I take more than the recommended dose?

Follow the dosage directions on the label. If there are concerns after taking more than the recommended amount, contact a healthcare professional or Poison Control.
