Frequently Asked Questions
Do you manufacture your supplements?
Yes. Every Unived product is originally researched and manufactured by us, at our own 100% vegan production facility.
The only product we outsource, is Ovegha, as we do not have an in-house liquid-capsule manufacturing line. Although, the Algae DHA used in Ovegha, is supplied by us. We only encapsulate it, externally.
What are the different types of products Unived manufactures?
Unived manufactures a wide range of dietary supplements that are classified under the following categories:
- Sports
- General Wellness
- Women
- Men
- Seniors
- Kids
- Pets
What is a vegan supplement?
A vegan supplement is a dietary supplement that does not contain any animal-derived ingredients.
They are made using plant-based or synthetic sources, ensuring they are free from animal products like gelatin, which is commonly used in capsules, and other animal-derived ingredients like beeswax, lanolin, or fish oil.
Do your supplements contain any additives, fillers, or non-GMO ingredients?
Our supplements are completely free from additives and fillers, and they are also void of non-GMO ingredients and any unnecessary substances.
These products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease. What does this mean?
This is a legal disclaimer, and it conveys that Unived does not make any medical claims about the product.
This ensures that our products are understood to be dietary supplements or wellness products, not medicines.
What manufacturing licenses do you have?
Unived has an FSSAI Central License, which is required by every supplement manufacturer in India.
Every product we sell, is approved and is part of our FSSAI central manufacturing license.
What certifications do you have?
In the past, we have held several certifications & registrations.
Unived was the first Indian company to be registered by the Vegan Society of UK, back in 2012. We held on to that, and renewed it every year, for several years. Finally, we decided to let go of it, as this did not add any value to our process. We were simply paying them in order to use their logo. Also, as they are not a governing body that is legally permitted to 'certify' any company or any product, this truly was just a 'registration' and not a 'certification', as we learned during our journey.
Our staunch stance on being Vegan led us to being registered with PETA. However, we let go of that after a few years too, as it did not add much value to our process.
Are your products Informed Sports certified?
No, they are not.
We did enrol in the Informed Sports certification program. Due to the costs involved, we were only able to afford registering two products under the program - our Rise & Grind and Rest & Recover protein formulations, which were & are being consumed by elite athletes.
The program requires us to send samples to Informed Sport, of every batch, for them to test & approve, prior to batch release.
The program was extremely expensive to begin with, and they decided to periodically increase their fees.
We have taken a decision to withdraw from the program, and will instead use the funds towards supporting grassroots athletes from India, through the Unived Foundation.
Are your products WADA approved?
WADA does not approve products.
All our products are WADA compliant. No WADA prohibited substances enter our production facility.
Can I open the capsule and just consume the powder?
If you have difficulty swallowing a capsule, you may open it and mix the contents with a beverage to consume. However, we do not recommend this method.
I have a product that is past its expiry, can I still use it?
We do not recommend using any of our products beyond their expiration dates.
Does Unived test it's products on animals?
No. Unived is an ethical Vegan company. We vouch for the abolition of animal testing all together.
Are Unived's products certified organic?
Unived's products are not certified organic, nor claimed to be organic. Some of our formulations use certified organic ingredients, in which case the ingredient would be listed as an organic ingredient under the ingredients list on the packaging.
How quick do your supplements show results?
Each individual is different, and each formulation has a different mode of action for how it works within the body.
Some ingredients such as Melatonin, L-theanine, and Caffeine, can offer relatively quick & immediate results.
Where as, other products like a multivitamins, or our Daily Supergreens, are more preventive health and general wellbeing formulations, and so an immediate effect may not be experienced.
Why does a Unived product sometimes change color?
Many of the ingredients Unived uses are natural botanical ingredients. Color variance is normal for botanical ingredients, and color may vary depending on the time of the year the botanical was harvested. Color changes may also occur as a result of Unived changing the products formulation.
Does Unived use fillers?
Unived does not use fillers, or any unnecessary ingredients, in any formulations.
Does Unived use silicon dioxide?
Unived does not purchase Silicon Dioxide. It is not an ingredient that enters our facility, and is not used in any of our formulations.
