At the beginning of the natural health products adventure in 2018, I worked alongside our chemist and Nathalie, formulator and aromatologist, for the range called “Les Apothecaires”.
Then Jean-Yves Dionne, then a pharmacist and formulator, offered us his support in 2020.
He reviewed the first line of supplements and superfoods I offered and was amazed at our quality.
He was pleased with the type of Magnesium (biglycinate) used, coupled with a B and taurine to improve its assimilation
He immediately started using our Fibers since we add hibiscus, a favorite plant for its polyphenol content.
He referred to our Greens as perfect, well-balanced (as with the multis, by the way)
He only added that we were missing a Zinc (which he combines with copper) and a Liver Supplement ; so he formulated it at my request.
Working together to formulate supplements that make a difference, he told me (and publicly too) that in 35 years of formulating for various brands and companies, he never had carte blanche. This is our unique and exceptional model: I asked him (as we did our other formulators) for the best ingredients in always optimal synergies. And this is why our consumers experience a difference with us.
He also proposed and validated:
Melatonin (which we also take as an anti-aging agent)
Following the publication of his nutricosmetic kit (when I mentioned to him that I wanted beauty supplements, he immediately replied: "you have pretty much everything! I'll tell you why"), the only thing missing was Selenium, which he combined with tomato lycopene : "they have to be real, not synthetic."
To help with sleep, he created Sleep Powder (he didn't want valerian because, as a pharmacist, his customers returned it to him, not liking it because of its bad smell) and reminded us that the plants together can be taken for daytime anxiety, as they are not sleeping pills but rather deep relaxants.
Also, at my request, he created Energy and Adaptogen to have energy and Defense Powder to intelligently, during contagion season, help/boost the immune system.
To help us achieve our daily protein intake, he also formulated our three Plant Protein blends for us, mimicking the amino acid profile of whey, promoting, among other things, the development of muscle mass.
At the end of these multiple developments, I asked him: "What is missing? What do you dream of having that would put your patients who are at the end of their rope "back on the right track"?"
At the same time, he introduced me to his university professor, Pierre Haddad, a scientific researcher with an impressive career.
And also sent me Nellie's thesis as a reference, who also joined us!
Pierre had already received three approvals for products to help diabetics and those with poor metabolic health. Knowing the great need, I suggested he manufacture these products (Jean-Yves even mentioned in a conference that he had consumed Gluconig before a sugar shack meal)!
In short, our choice is to develop the best formulas, thus giving carte blanche to formulators with decades of experience, as much for the ingredients as their form and the appropriate synergies.
Therefore, to create more complete formulas with a greater mix of active components and in optimal concentrations.
This is our reason for being. This is what sets us apart, and it is in achieving this goal that we invest ourselves, body and soul, as well as all our resources.
A consumer product, typically found in pharmacies or supermarkets, can hardly adopt such a model. A distributor generally demands more than 50% in royalties, in addition to warehousing, transport, flyers, and other costs. It is therefore obvious that you very often find formulations lacking or having to face compromises...
Also be aware that an affiliate link means that a third party also takes a percentage that is added to the royalties mentioned above... and, therefore, does not end up in the bottle.
We prefer, once again, to put all our resources into the quality of each formula.
Not only do we offer you the best essential oils this world has to offer, but we also certify that each of our essential oils is pure.
