FAQs
Q. Can I mix PROFILE up ahead of time and drink it later in the day?
A. Some ingredients are not stable in water over a period of time, so it is recommended to drink right away. It would not be harmful to drink later, but you may not receive the full benefits of the product.
Q. What is the nutritional info for PROFILE, such as calories, carbs, and fat per serving?
A. PROFILE is extremely nutritious. Each serving contains the following amounts: Calories – 33 kcal; Protein 1.1 g ; Carbs 1.3g ; Fat 0.8g ; Fibre 1.3g. PROFILE is cholesterol-free and contains no trans-fats.
Q. Should I continue to take a multivitamin with PROFILE?
A. Yes. Although PROFILE does contain naturally-occuring vitamins and minerals, it is not enough to replace your multiple. It is a good nutritional strategy to combine one of our ULTIMATE ONE multiples with PROFILE.
Q. Is PROFILE safe to use during pregnancy?
A. We do not recommend the powder version as it contains Licorice Root, which may raise blood pressure in some women. We recommend the LIQUID PROFILE, which is free from licorice root.
Q. Does your product contain gluten or other allergens?
A. Some of the ingredients in PROFILE POWDER may contain trace amounts of gluten. Depending on your level of sensitivity, you may be able to tolerate PROFILE POWDER. PROFILE LIQUID is free from gluten, so this may be a more suitable alternative for you. PROFILE POWDER also contains bee products and pollens from grasses, so these may illicit an allergic response if you have allergies to these allergens. If you can not tolerate the complex ingredients of PROFILE, our SPIRULINA may be a more suitable alternative for you as it help to deliver many of the similar health benefits of PROFILE with less allergenic concerns.
Q. If I am getting my 5 to 10 servings of fruits and vegetables per day, should I still take PROFILE?
A. DEFINITELY. One of the unique benefits of PROFILE is that it delivers foods, nutrients and herbals that are not commonly eaten in a typical North American diet, but have been found to be intricate parts of healthy daily diets from around the world.
Q. I am taking medication, is it safe to take with this supplement?
A. It is best to consult with your pharmacist or doctor regarding medications and any potential interactions. Online websites (www.drugdigest.org; www.supplementinfo.org) may provide some guidance, but again their information should be discussed with a health professional.
Q. How does the PROFILE LIQUID formula differ from the PROFILE POWDER?
A. In general, booth products deliver the same health benefits. Some of the ingredients in the powder formula are not stable in liquid and have been removed from the liquid formula such as the probiotic ingredients. Also, to provide a choice for pregnant mothers, the liquid is free from licorice root as it may raise blood pressure. We have also removed the bee products to avoid allergens. For individuals who may be taking blood thinners, ginkgo biloba ( a blood thinner) is removed from the liquid version . The liquid formula is free from soy for those on a soy-free diet for medical or allergy reasons.
Q. Does this product contain any animal products?
A. Yes, this product is free from common animal ingredients, but does contain bee products.
