Frequently Asked Questions

Raw Powders is a Lithuanian-born brand focused on transparency and efficiency. Taking care of yourself should be simple and understandable, which is why we create products without unnecessary additives and clearly declare every ingredient and its purpose. Our solutions are backed by both the latest scientific knowledge and practical experience—we collaborate with specialists and active lifestyle brand ambassadors who use our products in their daily lives and can attest to their effect. We strive to be your trusted partner in building your sustainable wellness habits.

Our products are manufactured in Lithuania, in a newly built and equipped factory located in Veiveriai, near Kaunas. The manufacturing process is carried out in compliance with the safety and quality requirements of our implemented HACCP self-control system. Because the entire process takes place under one roof, we can easily monitor and refine it.

We set a high bar for all our partners and suppliers, testing both raw materials and finished products in laboratories to guarantee that our rigorous standards are met.

We create Raw Powders formulas ourselves—from the initial idea to the final product. The direction of our products is driven by real customer needs, which we translate into clear and effective solutions. Our research and development (R&D) team, led by a food scientist with deep knowledge of food technology and chemical engineering, refines these ideas and creates final balanced, targeted, and effective formulas based on the latest scientific data, ingredient compatibility, and biological impact. All Raw Powders formulas are aligned with the State Food and Veterinary Service and notified for sale in Lithuania and throughout the European Union, which further confirms their quality.

Raw Powders is not only a seller of dietary supplements, but also a manufacturer. We create and produce our products in Lithuania, which allows us to ensure the highest product quality standards. Our products are formulated using bioactive active ingredients, functional specialized compositions, and vegan solutions to provide real benefits for physical and emotional well-being. We also export our production to other European Union countries, where we have built a substantial community of loyal customers. We value transparency, which is why we do not hide ingredients and provide clear, comprehensive composition details on product labels—all so that it is easy for you to choose the best product for your needs.

Transparency is the foundation of our brand. On our product labels, you will see a clearly defined composition with precisely specified active ingredients and excipients, along with a summary of their function. No hidden ingredients or unclear components—everything is designed to make it easy for you to choose the best product for your needs.

We create our products with the aim of ensuring they contain no potential allergens or GMOs; however, if a product does contain such ingredients, they are always clearly indicated and highlighted in the ingredients list.

In our range, you will find many products suitable for vegans and vegetarians. To adapt our selection to as broad an audience as possible, we use only plant-based capsules (HPMC, Pullulan) in our products. For our customers' convenience, information regarding a product's suitability for vegetarians and vegans is provided in the product description.

When describing our products, we strictly comply with all applicable legal requirements and choose to provide only clear and verified information. Our consumers can always check the authenticity and validity of this information on the website of EFSA (European Food Safety Authority), the institution responsible for food safety and related information (EFSA | Science, safe food, sustainability).

It is important to note that if specific benefits are not mentioned in a product description, it does not necessarily mean the supplement is ineffective. Until studies are officially completed and approved, such information cannot be legally displayed.

In the European Union, the use of the term "natural" is strictly defined, and there are only a few cases where its use is permitted; therefore, you will not find this term in our product descriptions. However, wherever possible, we seek naturally derived alternatives, especially for excipients—using plant-based or mineral fillers, as well as oil-based emulsifiers.
 

All raw materials we use are carefully selected from trusted and certified suppliers in Europe and other countries worldwide. We choose partners whose quality management systems are verified by internationally recognized certifications, such as GMP, ISO, IFS, BRCGS, and others. Equally important to us are long-term cooperation, transparent communication, and a shared approach to quality. We believe that a strong partnership not only guarantees a stable supply chain, but also allows us to identify potential risks faster, respond quickly to changes, and continuously improve quality assurance processes.

Every raw material we use is evaluated according to clearly defined qualitative and quantitative criteria. Before entering production, raw materials must meet the requirements established in international legal acts and other selection criteria applied during product development, such as solubility and other key physical and chemical properties.

Ensuring a complete and versatile daily diet requires a wide and balanced variety of food products, which can become a challenge in today's fast-paced lifestyle. Dietary supplements are products designed to supplement the diet and help effectively fill the gaps in one's daily intake. They are also exceptionally valuable when following specific diets that exclude certain food groups—for example, when adopting a plant-based diet or other individually tailored nutrition programs.

Our formulas are based on scientific insights: we use only high-quality ingredients, include effective amounts, and combine ingredients for maximum synergistic effect, which allows us to avoid empty promises.

The result always correlates with your personal diet. If there are gaps in your diet, dietary supplements fill them, and the changes will be noticeable. If your diet is already well-balanced, the benefits of supplements will be deeper, aimed at supporting the body's reserves.

It is important to remember that dietary supplements are not a quick fix for a problem, but rather a long-term investment in your well-being and longevity.

Food additives are substances necessary for manufacturing a high-quality and safe product. Each food additive serves a specific role tailored to that purpose. Even food additives whose function is listed as a "bulking agent" are very important, as they give structure to supplements and separate the active ingredients from one another so they do not react together or alter each other's properties. Food additives also protect the active ingredients and the product itself from environmental factors and moisture. Read more about food additives here. Although they are essential for high-quality dietary supplements, we understand consumers' concerns and aim to minimize their amounts.

The main rule of taking dietary supplements is consistency and regularity. Only supplements taken regularly every day provide long-term positive benefits, as they help replenish the body's nutrient reserves, giving it everything it needs to ensure good health and functionality on its own.

The time of day when supplements are taken does not have much influence; if it does, it is more related to the specific substance being consumed rather than the general principle of supplement use, and this will usually be indicated on the product packaging.

It is recommended to take dietary supplements in cycles. Usually, one cycle of a supplement is contained in a single package, but it can be more, in which case it is typically specified in the product description. Once you start taking a supplement, it is recommended to complete the full cycle and take a one-month break before starting a new cycle of the same supplement; however, there are supplements that can be taken without breaks. If you forget to take a supplement, simply skip that day and continue your course as usual. Most importantly, do not take a double dose the next day to avoid exceeding the recommended daily allowance.

Supplements should always be tailored to your diet. Since they are not intended to replace food, but only to supplement it, it is necessary to evaluate the deficiencies in your diet and select the product that is right for you accordingly.

For optimal absorption, most dietary supplements are best taken with or after food, as this is when the digestive system is activated.

To know if you need dietary supplements, you must first evaluate your daily diet—if your diet is varied and contains enough essential nutrients, meat, fish, eggs, dairy, fruits, and vegetables, then supplements will not have a significant impact. However, if your diet is limited and the same every day, supplements will help fill in the gaps.

Seasonality also plays a role—a change in the variety of fresh produce, lifestyle, or even daylight duration can lead to a higher need for certain nutrients.

Finally, consider your individual needs—perhaps you want to nourish your hair and skin, work long hours and experience extra stress, or plan to start exercising? It is important to adjust your nutrition to your specific situation, and dietary supplements can be an excellent way to enrich your diet.

If you are unsure whether there are gaps in your diet or want to know exactly what is missing, we recommend getting blood tests done and tailoring your diet and supplements based on the specific results.

There is no limit to the number of different dietary supplements you can take at the same time, especially if the purpose and effect of the products you wish to use are different. The only thing to consider is whether the combined supplements contain duplicating ingredients, in which case you should evaluate whether the maximum recommended daily intake of a specific substance will be exceeded. It is also important to remember that dietary supplements should not be used as a substitute for a varied diet.

Most of the products in our range are created for adults, but many of them are also suitable for children aged 6 and over. For our customers' convenience, you can find an age filter on our website where we have categorized products by age groups. Suitability for children and teenagers is determined in accordance with strict safety principles, guided by EFSA studies and their established safe intake levels for ingredients.

Most of our products are designed and adapted to be part of daily habits—such dietary supplements can be used by anyone wishing to supplement their diet with missing nutrients according to their individual needs. The only case where we truly do not recommend taking dietary supplements is for children under six years of age—as a responsible business, we believe that during this stage of life, when the body is developing most rapidly, every effort should be made to ensure the richest and most varied diet possible so that the child does not need to supplement their diet with dietary supplements. If, due to the properties of their active ingredients or the amount per serving, dietary supplements cannot be used by certain groups of people—whether young children, elderly individuals, or pregnant and breastfeeding mothers—we always indicate this on the packaging.

You may come across the term "standardized" next to the plant extracts in our store. Although at first glance it might seem that this term should be related to compliance with a national or international standard, that is not entirely true. This term indicates that the ingredient is manufactured so that every product batch meets specified quality metrics.

Plant extracts are ingredients of natural origin, and nature is variable. The substances accumulated by plants and their amounts depend on sunlight, rainfall, and many other factors. Standardized extracts are produced using additional extraction, concentration, and purification methods, thus guaranteeing that the extract will always contain the specific active ingredient and that its amounts will never be lower than indicated on the label.
