The Swallow Scientific Principles
✔️ For an ingredient to be included in a Swallow supplement, there must be scientific evidence that it works.
✔️ We use the proven best absorbed form of every single ingredient, regardless of the cost.
✔️ All ingredients are at the right doses to work together for maximum benefit.
Formulated by Leading Clinical Nutritionists
Each product developed by Swallow Nutraceuticals is guided by the expertise of clinical nutritionists with deep experience in human physiology and therapeutic supplementation. Their work draws on advanced training in nutritional biochemistry and evidence-based practice.
This is how every Swallow formula reflects the complexity of the human body and draws on the rigour of modern science.
With this approach, we design Swallow supplements to take into account not just individual nutrients, but the broader context in which they function. This includes co-factors - the other nutrients they work with - as well as competing pathways and metabolic demands. We make every supplement clinically meaningful, with targeted support for real physiological processes, from hormone balance to mitochondrial energy production.
It's Not Just What, It's How Much
It’s not just about picking the right ingredients - it’s about getting the combination and dosage exactly right for optimal results.
There's a trend in nutritional supplements to keep pushing doses higher and higher. Swallow is not participating, because there's no scientific evidence that more is always better.
After mapping out effective doses, based on the research, our registered clinical nutritionists ensure that we achieve the perfect balance of complementary ingredients.
Grounded in Medical Research
By basing every decision on high-quality evidence, we remove the guesswork. Our formulations are based on scientific research, not on copying other products on the market.
We evaluate every ingredient through the lens of peer-reviewed human research. Our decisions are based on data from clinical trials with consistent and reproducible outcomes: in other words, we look for a series of research papers that all come to the same conclusion. We prioritise ingredients that have shown meaningful results in human populations, not just theoretical or preliminary effects.
Equally critical is dosing. We formulate at the doses used in the research. For instance, if a study shows that a specific extract at 300 mg twice daily improves cognitive performance, we match that protocol. This practice ensures the supplement can reliably reproduce the outcomes seen in the research.
For those who are curious, we include links to some of these scientific studies at the bottom of each product page, so you can see the evidence for yourself.
Guided by Clinical Evidence
Our formulation process starts with thorough research into hundreds of scientific studies and clinical trials. We rule ingredients in or out depending on the strength of the evidence. We look for clinical trials involving significant numbers of people, which measure results using objective and logical criteria.
Any medicinal substance - whether it’s a pharmaceutical or a natural herbal remedy - will not work for 100% of people who take it. The Swallow solution is to create complexes that combine a suite of different nutrients and botanical ingredients, so that even if not every ingredient works for you, the overall complex will deliver the results you need.
Researchers are still trying to understand why so many medicines, and even nutrients, achieve different benefits for different people. The key may lie in the fact that we’re all different genetically. Our aim when combing through the research is to identify ingredients that have been found to deliver significant, measurable results for at least 80% of people.
For Swallow Nutritionists
Only the Best is Good Enough
Maximum Absorption, Optimised Utilisation
Every decision around ingredient form is designed to enhance the rate of absorption, activity, and clinical benefit.
The form in which a nutrient is delivered has a direct impact on how well the body can absorb and use it. We prioritise nutrient forms that have superior bioavailability, stability, and efficacy.
All our vitamins come in their most bioavailable form, and are enzymatically activated ready for the body to use. This means up to four times more will be absorbed, and it will get to work faster in your body.
So, whether it's a Pureway ® Vitamin C, which is a patented form with 225% higher absorption that achieves some remarkable results in the body, or a unique probiotic called Lactospore ® which has been clinically proven to survive stomach acid fully intact, we select every ingredient for its proven ability to deliver better results.
Scientifically Enhanced Ingredients
⭐ Methylated Vitamins
For example, we use methylated B vitamins, such as L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate and methylcobalamin, because these are metabolically active and bypass common genetic variations that reduce conversion efficiency. Our vitamin D is always the more active D3 form even though it’s vegan. And our vitamin K is the K2 form which lasts in the body for days longer than the K1 form.
⭐ Chelated Minerals
Similarly, we always use the chelated form of each mineral, because these are the best-absorbed and most effective forms, with the lowest likelihood of gastrointestinal irritation.
⭐ Standardised Herbal Extracts
In the case of herbal ingredients, we choose highly standardised, ultra-purified extracts that offer consistent levels of bioactive compounds. These extracts are often the subject of clinical trials themselves, offering a level of precision not possible with whole-plant powders.
Our Commitment to Quality Without Compromise
Every detail of our supplements—from the raw ingredients to the finished product—is chosen with care. We source from manufacturers that lead the field in purity, potency and sustainability. Our suppliers are required to provide full traceability and analytical verification for every batch.
Wherever possible, we use patented, clinically validated ingredient forms with established safety profiles. We invest in technologies that preserve nutrient integrity, avoid harmful excipients, and support optimal stability. All products are subject to rigorous quality assurance, including third-party testing for contaminants and adulterants.
Our goal is not to create a product that simply meets the minimum standard. We aim to set the standard for what a scientifically formulated supplement should be.
