Although the ingredients in Mount Nova's nutritional supplement products are not derived from whole foods, many are derived from natural sources. Some ingredients are fermented and some are synthesized, and we select every ingredient for being in its most absorbable and usable form. These synthetic nutrients are bio-identical and used by the body in the same way as naturally derived ingredients – whether natural or synthetic – and every ingredient is tested to ensure it meets its specifications for identity, purity, and potency.

Although it’s certainly possible, most nutritional experts agree there is a nutritional gap between the nutrients consumed in today's diet and the nutrients required for optimal health.

Mount Nova has a longstanding policy to not use genetically modified ingredients in our products. Therefore, to the best of our knowledge, every Mount Nova product is GMO-free, even though we don’t label our products as being non-GMO. The reason we don’t label our products as non-GMO is because there are no current tests that can be performed to confirm an ingredient’s non-GMO status. Currently, an ingredient’s non-GMO status can only be affirmed by a supplier affidavit, and Mount Nova has chosen to wait for the time we can use scientific methods to confirm every ingredient’s non-GMO status

Most nutritional supplements contain excipients that contribute functional or structural properties, such as fillers, binders, and lubricants. At Mount Nova, we minimize the use of these “Other Ingredients” and we refuse to include unnecessary excipients that can interfere with dissolution, or absorption, or otherwise detract from the optimal use of the product. Every ingredient in a Mount Nova product, including the “Other Ingredients,” are sourced from the purest sources possible. Each ingredient is scrutinized and preference is given to ingredients that are free of contaminants and minimise allergens. Mount Nova believes in total label transparency. That means there are no hidden inactive ingredients. Every ingredient in a Mount Nova product, whether active or inactive, is listed on the product label.

A qualified health-care practitioner is the best resource to assess your needs and make the recommendations that take your health into account. Because we can’t appropriately evaluate you, we can’t make personal recommendations. 

Unless otherwise indicated on the product label, Mount Nova recommends that its products be stored tightly sealed in a cool, dry place, such as a pantry or cabinet. Products should be kept away from a location exposed to moisture (such as a bathroom) or heat (such as above the stove). And be sure your hands are dry before handling your supplements and, whenever possible, store the product in the bottle it came in and keep the lid tightly closed. Placing the contents of an entire bottle in a pill box or a baggie might cause the product to discolor or otherwise change in appearance.

On occasion, a customer taking a prescription medication or an over-the-counter medication wants to know if taking a nutritional supplement can substitute for these medications. Because nutritional supplements can’t be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent a disease, we can’t recommend that you substitute a nutritional supplement for a prescribed medication or a recommended over-the-counter medication. Therefore, we always advise that you consult with a qualified health-care practitioner – preferably the one who prescribed or recommended your medication – before you discontinue taking that medication
