FAQ'S

Anyone who is interested in their health and supporting skin health should consider taking supplements to ensure that their body is getting all the nutrients they need. Additionally, for individuals with specific skin concerns, our team have developed targeted solutions for problem skin, dry skin, ageing skin and more. Our skin produces 200 million skin cells per hour so it is important that you are making this from a diet rich in nutrients.

Skincare supplements work to turbocharge your topical skincare routine. Combining your topical skincare routine with skincare supplements works to speed up results for specific skin concerns. Supplements feed and nourish the skin over the entire body, including the scalp, hands, back and toes. This nourishment targets the deeper layers of the skin.

All our products are searchable on our website by skin concerns. If you are still unsure, please contact us for advice or take on our online skincare consultation for product recommendation. 

Our capsules are guaranteed to dissolve in the stomach within 30 minutes, although we know that they often dissolve within 2 to 11 minutes. This means that the contents of the nutrients in the capsules are released into the stomach within minutes of swallowing.

Research suggests that we may absorb between 10% and 90% of the vitamins and minerals we consume through food and supplements, depending on age, stress, diet, and gut health, to name a few. The best way to get the most from your supplements is to take them with your main meal and minimise caffeine, alcohol and tobacco.

Yes absolutely, combining supplements will not interfere with the way they work, in some cases it can even be beneficial as vitamins and minerals often rely on each other to work properly. Please make sure you are taking food supplements with a main meal and not on an empty stomach. If you are taking medications for health reasons, it is advised to speak with your health care professional before taking Advanced Nutrition Programme supplements.

Yes, all our supplements are designed to work in synergy with one another and do not interfere with how each supplement is absorbed by the body. Please ensure you take your supplements with your main meal and not on an empty stomach for ease of digestion.

First of all, it is important to note that you should not be using supplements to replace a varied and balanced diet. Secondly, it is possible to consume too many supplements, especially if you are combining different brands. The risk here is that you may be getting too much of certain vitamins and minerals. The Advanced Nutrition Programme™ range has been specifically formulated to work in synergy so you can take a few products together and it is perfectly safe. If you are taking other food supplements and have specific queries, please feel free to contact our in house customer services and nutrition team who will endeavour to advise you.

For capsules, our experts recommend that you can break these apart and mix the powder with some food like yoghurt or into a glass of juice, and if you can stand the taste, you can even mix it in some water. Just remember to eat/drink the mixture straight away as the capsule is designed to protect the ingredients from light and air, and once this is removed, they will start to degrade.  Regarding tablets, you can break them in half or crush them into a powder and mix into food.

This is a complex question and can involve many factors that affect the outcome. To simplify, every person is unique and individual so results will vary from person to person. As a general rule we find that people start to notice a difference around 12 weeks (based on our in-house studies done in our Skin Research Centre). For some supplements it may be quicker, for example with our Skin Omegas+ individuals have noticed a result within 7 days.

In an ideal world, we should get all our nutrients from food, but sadly, this can be challenging. Important nutrients in our food are lost through changes in growing conditions, food storage, cooking, and refining. Farming practices, including weed killers, fungicides, growth regulators, and insecticides, kill the microbes in the soil. These microbes play an essential role in breaking down the minerals in the soil for the plant to absorb through its roots. This results in our food containing a much lower level of minerals that are vital for overall health and wellbeing. Before we purchase our food from the supermarket, our produce may have travelled thousands of kilometres. Once picked fruit and vegetables remain alive and continue the break down organic materials such as carbohydrates, proteins, and fats. This process leads to a loss of nutritional value and spoilage. Vitamin C is particularly vulnerable to nutrient loss during storage. Did you know that spinach stored in an open container loses around10% of its vitamin C content every day?

In general, it is best to take most supplements with food as this is the way nature intended us to digest and absorb nutrients. We recommend that you take supplements with a main meal as this provides for better absorption. This can be lunch or dinner. The important part is that you take your supplements on a daily basis.

Sometimes it can be hard to get into a routine with this so here are some tips that may help get you in a routine:

- Set a daily reminder on your phone.
- Keep your supplements in a draw at work or on your desk so they are easily accessible.
- Use one of our Advanced Nutrition Programme™ travel tins to make sure you always have your daily supply with you.
- Consider our Skin Ultimate which has convenient daily, tear-off pods, which act as your daily supplement dose.

This can be perfectly normal if you are taking supplements on an empty stomach or on a meal that doesn’t contain enough food e.g.: a slice of toast.  Make sure are taking supplements with a main meal that contains some oil or fat for better absorption. 

It is safe for children to take specifically formulated supplements for children. Our range of supplements have been designed for 16 years and over.

If you are on any prescribed medications, please check with your healthcare professional before starting a new supplement.

If you experience any unwanted symptoms from a product, please immediately discontinue use and contact us at hello@advancednutritionprogramme.com.au. Please consult your healthcare professional if symptoms persist.

For best results, consistency is key. We recommend that you take your skincare supplements on a daily basis as per the recommended dosage for each product.  If you forget to take your supplements for one day, don’t stress. Simply continue to take your supplements again the next day.
