You can also check this on each product page by clicking on "Trusted Standards", where all certifications, including Halal, are clearly listed.
Why is there a difference between the product I received and the one on your promotional material?
We strive to update our website and promotional materials to the best of our abilities. Sometimes there is a difference in the balance stock, or the images contain sample products that are not indicative of the final product. Rest assured that all products you receive are of the highest quality and have the best ingredients that we are able to provide.
If you have changed all your products to be packed in aluminium cans, does it mean I am getting an old product if it's packed in a plastic bottle?
We are in the process of changing all of the supplement containers to aluminium to move away from plastic. If you receive your product in a recycle-grade plastic Jcap plastic bottle, rest assured that the product is not compromised and would be the same high quality product as the one that would come in the aluminium can.

Herbal Pharm’s Mānuka Honey range contains products from MGO 50+ up to MGO 800+. The higher the MGO rating, the higher the concentration of methylglyoxal in the honey. |

Raw honey comes straight from the honeycomb. The beekeeper will usually just filter the honey to remove small bits of debris, but do not pasteurize the honey. Raw honey is still safe to eat. Due to less processing methods, raw honey retains more of its antioxidants than commercial honey. |

DISCOLOURATION
Question: I bought a supplement 1 year ago and I opened it today, the capsules are discoloured, and it has 1 more year to expiry, why did it discolour?
Discoloration in supplements can occur due to various reasons, but it's often related to exposure to light, moisture, or air. Here are some common factors that could lead to discoloration:
- Light Exposure: If the supplement bottle was stored in a place where it was exposed to light, especially sunlight, over time it could cause the ingredients to degrade and change color.
- Moisture: Moisture can also play a role in causing discoloration, especially if the capsules were exposed to humidity. Moisture can facilitate chemical reactions that alter the appearance of the capsules.
- Oxidation: Exposure to air can lead to oxidation of certain ingredients in the supplement. Oxidation reactions can cause discoloration and degradation of the active ingredients.
- Quality of Ingredients: Sometimes, the quality of the ingredients used in the supplement can impact its stability. If lower quality ingredients were used, they may be more prone to discoloration and degradation over time.
- Storage Conditions: Proper storage conditions, such as keeping the supplement in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, can help prevent discoloration and maintain the potency of the ingredients.
If you're concerned about the safety or efficacy of the supplement due to the discoloration, it's best to consult with the manufacturer or a healthcare professional. They can provide guidance on whether the supplement is still safe to use and if the discoloration affects its potency. Additionally, they may be able to offer advice on how to properly store supplements in the future to prevent similar issues.
Storage in a cabinet
Storing the supplement in a cabinet is a good step to protect it from direct light exposure, but other factors such as temperature and humidity levels inside the cabinet can still affect its stability. If the cabinet is in a location where it may be exposed to fluctuations in temperature or humidity, this could contribute to the discoloration of the capsules over time.
Even though the cabinet provides some protection, it's possible that environmental factors inside the cabinet still played a role in causing the discoloration. Additionally, if the supplement bottle was not tightly sealed, it could have allowed air and moisture to enter, accelerating the degradation process.
To prevent similar issues in the future, consider storing supplements in a cool, dry place with stable temperature and humidity levels. Make sure the containers are tightly sealed to minimize exposure to air and moisture. If you have any concerns about the quality or safety of a supplement, it's always best to reach out to the manufacturer for guidance.
