Q: I ordered a Starter Pack, but I want to change my selection for next month's order. May I do this?
A: Customers and Representatives may change their Starter Pack order each month if they wish to. Standard Easy Ship customer orders can be changed online anytime on the True Essentials web site using the My Account function. The link to My Account is located in the upper right-hand corner of each page on the site. Starter Packs ordered within Bundles must be changed by contacting Representative Services at this time. We are working to program an online order-change access system for these orders as well, and hope to bring this option to you soon.
Some of the Starter Packs, such as Fitness & Energy and Cardio Health, may be used by one person each month if this is an appropriate choice for them. These packs may also be divided and used by multiple people each month. Other Starter Packs are designed specifically to be used by multiple people in a month's time. If a single person is using the Immune Support Pack or the Fruit & Vegetables (Whole Foods Antioxidant) Pack, then that person will likely want to alternate their order occasionally with other options. The Anti Fungal Pack is designed to provide a one month supply (21 days of cleansing per month) for two separate people. Depending on household size and supplement needs, a customer may wish to alternate between various Starter Packs in order to obtain a couple months' supply of one and then switch to a different supplement for the following month or two.
Q:How do I know what is in each of the Starter Pack supplements?
A: The ingredients for each supplement are posted under the "Ingredients & Usage" tab on each product's page at www.trueessentials.net. Additionally, for your convenience, the Starter Pack Flyers are posted on each of the Starter Pack product pages and on FHTM U.
Here is the link to the Starter Pack category page. From there, you can download a flyer for each Starter Pack you are interested in order to read the Starter Pack overview and view the Supplement Facts for each of the products included in that Starter Pack.

Q: We purchased the Immune Support Starter Pack for our family, but we are not sure how to use them and how often we should be taking them. Can you provide us with some guidance?
A: The Immune Support Starter Pack supplement pack can be used on a regular or semi-regular basis (doctor allowing) by people who wish to use them in a preventative, immune support manner and by people, by people who are regularly exposed to cold and flu germs, and those who find that it helps with symptoms from allergies and/or asthma. Others may wish to use them only when they do get a cold, flu or other infection in order to help lessen symptoms and reduce the number of days they suffer.
We generally recommend children's supplements as being for 4 years old and up, largely based on them being able to swallow or chew them safely. The best approach is to ask their health care provider for guidance. As noted on the web site, younger children often take half of the an adult dose. Very small children might take a further reduced dose based on their age and weight.
The two echinacea chewables are not intended to be taken by one person at the same time. This is a supplement pack intended to be used by multiple persons and those persons would chose between the Chewable Zinc and the Chewable Echinacea. Some people, especially children, find the Chewable Zinc with Echinacea to be too strong in flavor, but others like it or are willing to chew it for the benefits. The Chewable Echinacea with Vitamin C is an alternative for people, especially children, who do not want to taste the stronger-flavored Chewable Zinc. The Chewable Zinc has several helpful ingredients, but not everyone is agreeable with the taste. Much of the strong taste comes from the zinc itself. If a person is agreeable with both products and wishes to use them both , then they should take them at different times - or use one bottle and then the next.
In chewing these echinacea/vitamin C-based supplements, it is optimal to chew slowly or let the chewable dissolve slowly and coat the throat as it goes down.
Herbal Biotic Liquid can be applied from the dropper directly under the tongue. This technique allows for maximum absorption. You might wish to empty the contents into a drink (water, juice, protein shake, smoothie) or onto a spoon if these options have greater appeal for you or your children.
Please take some time to read the information posted on our web site for these individual supplements when you have an opportunity. The EFA Chewable Wafer offers a variety of benefits for various people, so please do read the product page to familiarize yourself with its benefits and possible applications for your family members.

Q: Please explain the dosage options for the supplements supplied in the Cardio Health Pack. Are the supplements in this pack intended to be taken monthly by one customer or by two customers?
A: The Cardio Health Pack is designed with two bottles each of Cardio Health CoQ10 (30-count) and Red Yeast Rice (60-count). This allows flexibility of monthly dosage for customers and also allows them an opportunity to take these supplements as a trial for 15 to 30 days at a time. This Pack may be used by two people for 30 days at a baseline dosage (1 Cardio Health CoQ10 and 2 Red Yeast Rice); or by one person for 30 days at a standard dosage (2 Cardio Health CoQ10 and 4 Red Yeast Rice); or by two people for 15 days at standard dosage. We recommend that customers consult with their healthcare provider regarding supplement selection and dosage prior to taking any supplements, especially if they are taking prescription medications or if they have been diagnosed with a medical condition.
Customers with known cardio health concerns or who are greater in age may choose, with their healthcare provider's guidance and approval, to take two Cardio Heath CoQ10 capsules and four Red Yeast Rice capsules each day. Customers may take up to a maximum of eight Cardio Health CoQ10 per day, though it is most common for people to take one to three. Typical Red Yeast Rice dosages range from 2 to 4 capsules per day. The body's production of CoQ10 declines with age and is also inhibited when a person takes a statin medication or takes natural statins in the form of a Red Yeast Rice supplement. Due to this inhibition of CoQ10 production caused by statins, we combine these two related supplements in the Cardio Health Pack.
The Cardio Health Pack provides for some flexibility in dosage options and, of course, a separate order may be placed to complement what is supplied in the Cardio Health Pack. For example, a customer may choose to also take an EFA supplement, such as Omega 3-6-9 EFAs and/or the EFA Chewable Wafer,along with their Cardio Health CoQ10 and/or Antiox Supreme CoQ10 in order to aid with absorption of the CoQ10. A top pairing is to combine the supplements in the Cardio Health Pack with one of True Essentials' foundational packs, such as the Men's Essential Pack, Women's Essential Pack or Women's Gold Pack. These packs include 30 convenient daily packets which are filled with 2 multi-vitamin tablets, 2 Omega 3-6-9 EFAs, 4 Calcium Plus tablets, and 1 Healthy Aging capsule. Other foundational convenience pack options (foundational combinations of product offered at a cost savings) include the Vision Essentials Pack and the Vegan Essentials Pack. Each of these product combinations include a daily supply of EFAs, making them also ideal candidates for combining with the Cardio Health Pack supplements.
Q: I am looking for supplements that will help me maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Which Starter Packs might be good choices for me to take?
A: When a customer has a medical condition or takes prescription medications, we advise them to check with their health care provider prior to taking any supplements. It is possible for supplements to improve blood sugar regulation and thereby affect the amount of medication to be used by a person who is diabetic or pre-diabetic. It is best for anyone taking prescription medications to consult their doctor for supplement use guidance and to ask them to look at our web site to recommend specific supplement options and doses.
There are several products that may be helpful for assisting with blood sugar regulation: Fruit & Vegetable Essentials, Omega 3-6-9, Antiox Supreme CoQ10, Cardio Health CoQ10, Fiber Powder, Energizer Tea (contains Green Tea), EFA Chewable Wafers (Lecithin), Crave Control with Hoodia (contains Gymnema) and Boost & Burn (contains EGCG). Cleansers, such as Anti Fungal, Bowel Cleanser and Liver Cleanser, may also support pancreas and liver function.
Of the products included in the Starter Packs, the supplements with added sugar include the Whey Protein Shake (Fitness & Energy Pack), which has 7 grams of organic brown sugar per serving, and three of the chewable supplements in the Immune Support Pack: EFA Chewable Wafer, Chewable Echinacea with Vitamin C, and Chewable Zinc with Vitamin C.
Q: Some of the Starter Packs include Cardio Health CoQ10 and others include Antiox Supreme CoQ10. What is the difference between them?
A: Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) provides energizing nourishment to the heart. Additionally, it is a powerful and versatile antioxidant and free radical scavenger; and it helps to provide energy and protection to every cell in our body. Either choice, Cardio Health CoQ10 or Antiox Supreme CoQ10, is a good one in most cases. Some people choose to take one of each every day. Other people select the one that is most appropriate for their particular needs and interests as described in the following paragraph.
Cardio Health CoQ10 is designed for people who have cardiovascular and heart health concerns and for people age 40 and older who have reached an age of greater general cardio health concern. This supplement provides three key nutrients that help to support an ample energy supply to the heart. People with cardio risk are advised to ask their healthcare provider for supplement recommendations. Antiox Supreme CoQ10 provides the same high-quality form of water-soluble CoQ10 and supplies an additional assortment of recognized antioxidants and antioxidant-containing fruits. This supplement is designed for people who are 30 years and older, do not have a specific cardio health concern, and are interested in obtaining a comprehensive assortment of energizing and free radical fighting nutrients.
Q: Will you please explain how to use the Olive Leaf Detox Pack?
A: While many of the True Essentials are designed for daily use, the Olive Leaf Detox Pack is designed for use for 21 days in a month, followed by a break for the remainder of the month. We provide the following general usage guidelines for these supplements, but do recommend that customers refer to their healthcare provider for specific supplement selection and use guidance. Do not use these supplements if you are pregnant or nursing. Also, please note that these supplements are intended for adults, not children. If you are taking prescription medications or have been diagnosed with a medical condition, then consult with your healthcare provider prior to use. The Olive Leaf Detox Pack supplements do not cleanser your body of nutrients from food or other supplements; they may be used in conjunction with other supplements without lessening their benefits.
The Olive Leaf Detox Pack includes two bottles of Bowel Cleanser (84 count) and two bottles of Olive Leaf Anti Fungal Cleanser (42 count). If two people share these supplements on a monthly basis, then the suggested dosage is as follows:
Days 1-21: Take two (2) Olive Leaf Anti Fungal Cleanser capsules and take four (4) Bowel Cleanser capsules
Days 22-end of month: Give your body a rest from these particular supplements
The maximum daily dose for the Olive Leaf Anti Fungal Cleanser is 4 to 6 capsules per day.
The maximum daily dose for the Bowel Cleanser is 8 to 12 capsules per day.
Always use the Olive Leaf Anti Fungal Cleanser together with the Bowel Cleanser in order to ensure full and rapid elimination of released wastes; do not take the Olive Leaf Anti Fungal Cleanser independently.
For more information, please refer to the Cleansing Information Flyer, the Cleanser Pack Instructions, as well as the individual product pages for Olive Leaf Anti Fungal Cleanser and Bowel Cleanser.
