Frequently Asked Questions

What is micro-encapsulated powder?

Micro-encapsulation is a process by which small particles (plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, and amino acids) are encased in a uniform shell formed by alginates, sorbitol, and gum arabic. It protects the bioactive and delicate ingredients from various environmental conditions, such as heat, air (oxidation), acidity (stomach acid), etc. Taimi micro-encapsulated products release the bioactive ingredients in the small intestine, where they get absorbed optimally.

Do your products contain any allergens?

All our products are free from common allergens. However, you may be sensitive to one or more ingredients in our products. If you feel any discomfort, we recommend you stop using the product.

Are your products safe for children?

Yes, our products are safe for children. However, we recommend using as few supplements with children as possible as their body is still developing.

If your child has nutrient deficiencies, you may supplement with specific nutritional supplements according to your medical consultant's advice.

I’m on prescription medication, is it safe to use your products?

Some ingredients in our blends may have contraindication with certain medicines. We recommend that you consult your healthcare professional before consuming any Taimi products if you use prescription medication.

How does your products taste?

It depends on the blend. The encapsulation process masks most unpleasant flavors of bitter herbals and vitamins, so the taste is relatively neutral (compared to a similar product without micro-encapsulation).

You can definitely taste the products when mixed with plain water. Flavored beverages such as tea and coffee can hide the flavors, making the blends neutral tasting.

The Focus blend has the most pungent taste, but if you mix the powder with drinks like tea, coffee, cacao, or smoothie, most people won't notice any difference. If you take it pure or with water, you might not want to kiss yourself for a minute.

What are the best drinks and foods I can mix the powder with?

Sometimes we go crazy and take them as they are, but most of the time, we like to mix them with coffee, tea, water, smoothies, muesli, porridge, yogurt, soups, etc. We are always happy to hear what works, so feel free to share your best tips with us.

What if I take too much of your products at once?

It is safe to take several servings at once, and we recommend taking 1-3 servings per day. However, if you don’t feel well or get unusual symptoms, we recommend contacting your health care expert for advice.

Can I take Taimi’s products while pregnant or breastfeeding?

Consult your healthcare professional before consuming any Taimi products if you are pregnant or nursing.
