Ingredients Optimised
A good supplement starts with choosing the right ingredients, in the right forms and at appropriate amounts.
At Puramins, formulation decisions are guided by published evidence, established nutritional guidance and the needs of the formulation itself, rather than trends or marketing appeal.
We consider factors such as form, dosage, stability and how ingredients work together, then independently test the finished product to confirm it meets the relevant specifications.
Evidence-Based Formulation
Every formulation begins with research. We review peer-reviewed studies, authoritative nutritional guidance and established reference sources to understand the available forms of a nutrient, appropriate amounts and any relevant considerations when combining ingredients.
That evidence is then balanced with practical factors such as stability, manufacturing and the overall simplicity of the formula.
The aim isn't to follow whichever ingredient is currently fashionable. It's to make deliberate choices that have a clear reason behind them.
Choosing the Right Form
Different forms of the same nutrient can have different properties, including solubility, stability and how they behave within a formulation.
That's why we look beyond the headline amount on the label. The form of an ingredient, how much is included and how it works alongside the other ingredients are all considered when developing a formula.
For our Vitamin C, for example, we combine two established forms, ascorbic acid and sodium ascorbate, in a single capsule.
Form
Different forms of a nutrient can have different characteristics, so the choice is made according to the needs of each formulation.
Amount
More isn't automatically better. We choose amounts based on available evidence, established guidance and applicable UK limits.
Balance
Ingredients don't exist in isolation. Where formulas contain several nutrients, we consider how they work alongside one another rather than simply trying to create the longest possible ingredient list.
The Cost of Quality
Supplements are available at a wide range of prices, and price alone doesn't tell you whether a product is good or bad.
However, formulation choices do affect what a product costs. Ingredient forms, dosage, capsule material, manufacturing methods, independent testing and packaging can all make a difference.
We don't set out to make the cheapest supplement possible. Where a particular ingredient, material or manufacturing choice has a clear purpose, we're prepared to pay more for it.
Our aim is simply to offer fair value for the standard of product we choose to make.
