The Science

Lux Vita exists because we wanted supplements we’d actually be comfortable taking every day — and recommending to people we love. That meant a much shorter shelf of products, much higher standards, and a lot more honesty.

Our four standards

Sourcing

We tell you where every active comes from. Each ingredient has a documented origin and a paper trail back to the supplier. No country-of-origin secrets, no vague “premium-grade” labels.

Dosing

We use researched amounts of single actives. No proprietary blends, ever. Proprietary blends are how brands hide low doses behind a long ingredient list. We’d rather show you the numbers and let you decide.

Testing

Every batch is third-party tested for identity, potency, heavy metals, microbial load, and (where relevant) solvent residues. Certificates of analysis are available on request and published on each product page as they’re issued.

Honest labels

We say what’s in it. We say what isn’t proven. We don’t promise outcomes we can’t deliver. Where regulation requires it, we say so. Where the science is mixed, we say that too.

How we test

Each batch of finished product is sent to an independent ISO-accredited laboratory. The standard panel is:

  • Identity (HPLC or equivalent)
  • Potency / active content
  • Heavy metals: lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury
  • Microbial load: total aerobic count, yeasts and moulds, E. coli, Salmonella
  • For botanicals: pesticide residues

Where a finished-product test result sits outside our internal spec, the batch does not ship. We’d rather be late than wrong.

The compliance footnote

UK food supplements fall under regulation administered by the FSA (Food Standards Agency) and the MHRA (Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency). Claims must follow EU Regulation 1924/2006 as retained in UK law, and advertising must comply with the ASA’s CAP Code.

What that means in practice: we cannot tell you that any of our supplements will cure, treat, reverse, or prevent any disease — because under UK law, only licensed medicines can make those claims. Our supplements are foods, not medicines. We can describe what they may help support, what the research suggests, and how they’re typically used. We can’t promise specific outcomes.

If you’re under medical care, pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking prescription medication, speak to a clinician before starting any new supplement.
