In a perfect world, dietary supplements wouldn't exist. With the rise of increasingly processed foods and depleted soils , it's unfortunately difficult to consume what our bodies need every day .
This is where dietary supplements came from, initially created to address deficiencies , they have since expanded to include general well-being . At Epycure, our priority has been from the beginning to help our customers take care of themselves at all times of their lives : low energy, difficult digestion or even sleep disorders...
And because we do not have the same needs over time, our range follows you to offer you deliberately wide and varied products , in order to meet as many needs as possible .
Still skeptical? We're responding to prejudices.
The formulas are all the same!
TRUE AND FALSE!
Of course, some brands use ready-made formulas created by laboratories, which is what we call “off-the-shelf” purchasing . This does not mean that they are less effective, only that their composition is generic and, therefore, almost identical between brands .
At Epycure, behind each capsule, there is Hélène, our R&D manager who selects one by one active ingredients recognized by the French pharmacopoeia but also plants from traditional medicine or even new innovative active ingredients whose effectiveness has been proven in scientific studies . We have chosen to create our own formulas to offer you unique and effective products that will best help you meet your needs.
Speaking of effectiveness, there is no miracle solution to a problem . Food supplements are there to support you and boost your efforts in the long term . For each treatment, the dosage is maximized, the active ingredients hand-picked for visible results in just a few months or, sometimes, in a few days , for one-off treatments. We always aim for the right balance between effectiveness and naturalness without ever making any concessions on their performance!
We verify this effectiveness thanks to our community of testers Le Lab'Epycure , made up of people like you and me, who we have test our formulas to collect their feedback and, if necessary, improve them !
Dietary supplements are expensive
TRUE AND FALSE!
The cost of food supplements varies enormously depending on many factors: production , laboratories , composition , galenics , etc.
Indeed, we make it a point of honor that this cost is justified by our desire to offer you products without making any concessions on their quality . Behind each product, there are approved and certified French laboratories , specialized in each galenic to benefit from their unique know-how, the cost of raw materials with innovative active ingredients, sometimes patented and our collaborators , without whom the brand would not exist. Put end to end, these costs represent a significant expense item , just as being a young brand, manufacturing prices are inevitably higher , since we produce in smaller quantities compared to large laboratories.
But what we are not ready to reconsider is offering you an unrivaled quality-price ratio so that the majority of our treatments cost on average less than €1 per day .
Food supplements are dangerous for your health!
FAKE !
In France, regulations in the food supplement sector are very strict to ensure consumer safety.
This safety is guaranteed by an in-depth study of each ingredient through a scientific and toxicological dossier . After its authorization, this ingredient is then included in a positive list of active ingredients usable in food supplements and updated regularly to add new ingredients, or on the contrary, remove them if any risk appears following new studies.
This regulation is not only limited to their composition but also to their packaging . To be placed on the market, the food supplement must present mandatory information such as its instructions for use , the complete list of ingredients , the recommended daily quantity , allergens or even contraindications . All of these obligations make it possible to monitor the reliability of the product while informing the consumer without misleading him. Just as some are mandatory, others are prohibited , in particular those which may promote a product which prevents, cures or treats diseases , which would put it on the same level as a medicine.
The use of food supplements is most often based on self-medication , so it is important to inform the consumer that taking them is not without risk and that following the dosage is essential .
These are “ supplements ” that are part of a balanced diet and lifestyle ; they should be consumed to help us be fully “us” on a daily basis .
