Faqs

1.Who is behind Novoma?

Novoma is a French brand of food supplements, founded in 2012 in the South West by two childhood friends, Alexandre and Lucas.

Driven by the same commitments, the entire team based in Toulouse works daily to offer you a range of the best supplements to promote your well-being.

2. What is a dietary supplement?

Within the framework of the law, the notion of “food supplement” benefits from a precise definition, provided by the European Parliament in its directive 2002/46/CE of 2002.

Thus, a food supplement is understood to mean “foodstuffs whose purpose is to supplement the normal diet and which constitute a concentrated source of nutrients or other substances having a nutritional or physiological effect alone or in combination, marketed in the form of doses […]”.

Finally, this legal definition is quite close to the intuitive meaning of the name: a food supplement is therefore a product made up of various nutrients and substances intended to supplement the diet (not replace it!), in particular to prevent deficiencies.

3. How are your food supplements made?

Our food supplements are manufactured according to a rigorous process which consists of 3 stages:

1. Formulation: Our R&D team develops innovative formulas based on the latest scientific research to meet the specific needs of our customers.
2. Sourcing of active ingredients: we select the best active ingredients from all over the world, focusing on the quality, purity and bioavailability of the ingredients. Of course, we make sure to collaborate with leading suppliers in their field, such as DSM® and EPAX®, aligned with our values ​​of sustainability, traceability and ethics.
3. Manufacturing: our products are then manufactured in our French partner laboratories – the main one being located only 45 minutes from our office!

This approach guarantees effective, safe and transparent dietary supplements.

4. Why take food supplements?

Dietary supplements can be beneficial for 3 main reasons:

Prevent nutritional deficiencies.

They complement a diet that may lack diversity, providing vitamins, minerals and other essential nutrients.

To meet increased nutrient needs.

Certain periods of life (pregnancy, overwork, etc.) or the practice of intense sporting activity can increase the need for specific nutrients (such as vitamin B9, vitamin D, iron, magnesium and omega 3).

To promote well-being.

For example, by helping to reduce fatigue, support the immune system, reduce sleep disorders or combat oxidative stress, taking supplements can help support general well-being.

Of course, it is important to keep in mind that dietary supplements are not magic products. They do not replace a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. However, they are an excellent way to support your body when necessary.

5. How to choose the best food supplement?

To choose the best dietary supplement, the first step is to identify your needs based on your lifestyle, diet and health.

As you probably already know, it is best to consult a health professional to determine any deficiencies or specific needs you may have.

Next comes the step of selecting your food supplement. To make the right choice:

• Choose food supplements manufactured by brands recognized for their transparency and reliability (for example, you can analyze customer reviews).
• Read product labels carefully to check the composition and dosages of active ingredients.
• Food supplements come in several forms: choose the method of intake that seems most practical for you (we call it “galenic”), in accordance with your preferences.
• Avoid products containing chemical additives or controversial substances.
• And when possible, opt for supplements formulated with labeled active ingredients which most often guarantee that the products meet strict manufacturing standards.

Ultimately, this is all common sense, but it’s important to make the right choice for optimal results. At Novoma, we’re committed to providing the best supplements that meet each of these criteri

6. Are dietary supplements really effective?

We can’t stop repeating it, but it is essential to have a healthy lifestyle and a varied and balanced diet to keep your body healthy. However, faced with certain factors (insufficient nutrient intake, stress, fatigue, seasonal changes, pollution, etc.), the body may need a little boost. And this is where food supplements are most effective!

Of course, they are not miracle solutions, but they are the perfect allies to meet the demands of modern life. In addition to preventing or filling possible nutritional deficiencies, food supplements can act at different levels to support certain bodily functions.

7. Can there be side effects from taking dietary supplements?

Dietary supplements are generally safe when used as directed. However, side effects may occur if dosages are not followed or if you have specific sensitivities.

This is why you will find on each product page (as well as on the labels of our supplements) the precautions for use to follow before starting your treatment. If you have any concerns or specific medical conditions, do not hesitate to consult a health professional.
