ABOUT OUR PRODUCTS

 

How do I choose the best Swisse product(s) for me?

As we are individuals, we have different nutritional requirements in order to function at our best. However, supplementing with a daily multivitamin may be beneficial to bridge daily nutritional requirements.

 

Do we really need vitamin supplements?

It is essential to make sure you are eating a balanced diet full of nutrients. However, not everyone has a healthy balanced diet due to lifestyle and dietary choices. Supplementation may help to support a healthy diet.

 

Is it normal for the colour of my urine to turn bright yellow after taking some Swisse formulas?

Yes. This is due to the metabolism of B vitamins and their elimination from the body. What your body requires for that day is utilised, and the remainder is excreted. This also shows that the tablet has disintegrated effectively in the body.

 

What age group is suitable to consume an adult dose?

It is suitable for individuals 18 years and older to consume an adult dose.

 

How should I store my vitamins and supplements?

We recommend referring to the label or to specific information on each individual product page on the Swisse Website for further guidance. Further to this, we recommend that you do not store Swisse supplements in direct sunlight or heat.

 

Can I take Swisse products if I have a medical condition or take medication?

We recommend consulting your primary health care professional before use.

 

Can I cut vitamin tablets in half if I can't swallow them whole?

We recommend that you consume the Swisse tablets whole. However, if you have difficulties swallowing the tablet in full, you can cut the tablet in half making sure all parts are consumed at the same time.

 

Where does Swisse source its ingredients?

We are committed to including premium quality ingredients in all Swisse products. To achieve this, we source ingredients from around the globe.

 

Should I take my vitamins with a meal?

Some dietary supplements are best taken with a meal, while others are best taken on an empty stomach. As such, we recommend referring to the label or to specific information on each individual product page on the Swisse website for further guidance.

 

Can I take vitamins and dietary supplements after the used by date?

We recommend that our products be consumed within the time period stipulated on the packaging.

 

What source of gelatin is used in your products?

Swisse softgel capsules use bovine gelatin, which is derived from cows. However, we recommend referring to individual product information for further guidance.

 

Why are there two types of authentication codes on the packages of your products?

Currently, some of our products have a code that is only able to be scanned by the Swisse App.

We are working to update the existing code with a new form of QR Code, which is able to be scanned by all the QR readers. This will make it more convenient to validate the authenticity of our products.

While we are transitioning to the new QR code, you may see both (old and new) codes in the market.

 

 

HOW DO I CHECK IF I HAVE PURCHASED AN AUTHENTIC SWISSE PRODUCT?

 

We have developed technology that can provide our consumers with assurance that the products they are buying are genuine and made to our high-quality standards.

 

To check your product is using an authentic Swisse label, simply locate the QR code on the back of the label. The QR code can be scanned by most mobile phone cameras, though we recommend using the in-built QR scanner in WeChat if you have this app installed on your phone.

 

Simply follow the prompts on screen to confirm the authenticity of your Swisse product label.

NEW-LOOK SWISSE PACKAGING AND LABELS OVERVIEW

Same premium quality formula, new premium look

What’s with the makeover? Learn more about our new-look packaging and label design for our vitamins and supplements range.

 

NEW Label Design:

At Swisse, we are transitioning to a new label design for all vitamins and supplements, to assist you in better navigating our range and choosing the right products for you.

The new labels provide you with improved product information that is easier to locate, including an expanded ingredient list and more comprehensive allergen information.

 

NEW Packaging Design:

You spoke and we listened! Our new Swisse packaging has been developed with the customer in mind. Unique to Swisse, it provides improved functionality, including an easy-open cap and an airtight seal for freshness. It also contains Swisse embossing on the lid and base, so you can be assured that the product you’re purchasing is genuine Swisse merchandise.  

 

But wait, why is Swisse changing its packaging and labels?

We are refreshing our product labels to provide you with improved, clearer information, so you can be better informed when choosing products for you and your family. This transition is also necessary to ensure our labels comply with updated regulatory requirements for complementary medicines in Australia (known as the TGO92).

We’re changing our packaging design following customer feedback for easier-to-open products and also to ensure confidence with purchasing genuine Swisse merchandise.

 

When will it happen?

All good things take time! We are in the process of transitioning to new labels and packaging, so you might see both old and new versions of your favourite Swisse products on shelf until mid-2022. Inside, our premium quality formulations remain the same, so you can feel confident purchasing either.

 

Swisse’s latest products look different - have you changed them?

Swisse is evolving and enhancing our current packaging and label design. We are in the process of transitioning all of our existing range to feature new packaging and labels.

 

Will Swisse’s formulations also change?

While our products are changing shape on the outside and our labels may look slightly different, our premium quality formulations will remain the same.

 

Why is Swisse changing its packaging?

The new Swisse packaging design provides improved functionality, including an easy-open cap and an airtight seal for freshness. We are also further enhancing our packaging with Swisse embossing on the lid and base, so you can be assured you’re purchasing a genuine Swisse product.  

 

Why is Swisse changing its product labels?

Swisse is transitioning to a new label design for its supplements to assist our customers in better navigating our range and choosing products that are right for them. Our new labels will provide both customers and healthcare professionals with improved information that is easier to locate.

 

Why can I sometimes see different Swisse packaging and labels on shelf?

All good things take time! As we sell through current stock in existing packaging and transition to our new look, you will likely see both current and refreshed versions on shelf until mid-2022. We’re very mindful of minimising waste and using our resources responsibly, so we don’t want to discard our existing stock simply because it’s in the “old” packaging. Inside, our premium quality formulations remain the same, so you can feel confident purchasing either.

 

Is the new Swisse vitamin packaging BPA free?

All Swisse vitamin packaging is BPA free.

 

Is the new Swisse vitamin packaging fully recyclable?

Both the cap and vial are fully recyclable.

 

Why is Swisse’s new packaging made from plastic?

Plastic allows us to maintain the highest quality standards to protect the quality of our products. It is also lightweight, which means the environmental footprint of shipping to you is quite small. We have reduced the amount of raw materials used in each unit in this new packaging, so they are less resource intensive.

 

What are Swisse’s plans for the future of its packaging?

We know plastic has some environmental downfalls, so we’ve started to introduce recycled materials into our packaging and will continue this focus for new product launches. We’re also exploring new innovative formats of packaging that are more sustainable for the future.
