1. What is the difference between “Dietary Supplement” and “Health Supplement” on the bottle labelling?
There is no difference in terms of product content on bottles labelled "Health Supplements" and "Dietary Supplement". The change was made due to the Malaysian Drug Control Authority regulations, therefore currently all stocks need to be labelled “Health Supplement”. Some of the products in the stores may still have the “Dietary Supplement” on the bottle label which can still be consumed.
2. Can I take all my supplements together?
Yes. It is safe to take all the supplements together. You may separate some of the supplements (after breakfast, lunch or dinner) if you have a weak stomach (gastric issues). Do ensure you take the supplements after meals.
3. Can I take my supplements together with medications?
It is not advisable to take both medications and supplements together. A general rule of thumb will be to leave a gap of at least 2 hours between your medications and supplements to avoid any possible interactions.
4. Can pregnant or breastfeeding women take any of Blackmores products?
Not all products are suitable or recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding mothers. Do email to [email protected] to check if the product you would like to take is suitable for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers.
5. How do I know if a Blackmores product is genuine?
All medicinal products, including health supplements must be registered with the Ministry of Health Malaysia (MOH) before they can be sold or marketed to consumers. Registered medicinal products must carry both Registration numbers (e.g. MAL20125467T) and a Farmatag Hologram label on its label or packaging. The hologram on the bottle is also a sign of authenticity as each bottle of supplement has a unique code which cannot be duplicated. If you are still unsure, you may email [email protected].
