Shop natural health supplements by need

Always read the label and follow the directions for use. If symptoms persist, talk to your health professional. Vitamin and mineral supplements should not replace a balanced diet.

How to choose natural health supplements

1. Start with food. Supplements fill gaps in a balanced diet. Look at what you eat first, then choose a supplement for what's missing.
2. Match the supplement to a need. A greens powder, a probiotic, magnesium and a menopause formula all do different jobs. Choose for your life stage and goals rather than buying everything.
3. Read the label. Check the amount of each key ingredient per serve, not just the ingredient list. In Australia, listed complementary medicines show an AUST L number on the pack.
4. Check your dietary needs. Look for vegan, gluten free or low FODMAP if they matter to you.
5. Check for interactions. If you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or manage a health condition, ask your doctor or pharmacist before starting a new supplement.
6. Choose a format you'll use every day. A powder you enjoy in your morning smoothie is easier to keep up than one you forget about.

How to take our supplements

Most of our powders are measured in teaspoons and stirred into water, a smoothie or yoghurt. Everyday Greens, Organic Superfood and Probiotic Plus Prebiotic are 2 teaspoons (7g) per serve, Magnesium+ is 1 teaspoon (5g), Menopause+ is 1 scoop (13g) once a day, and Metabolic Burn is 1 scoop in 250ml of water twice a day. Probiotic Plus Prebiotic contains magnesium citrate, so if you also take Magnesium+ on the same day, halve your Magnesium+ serve. Follow the directions on each label.

Collagen powder FAQs

What are natural health supplements?

Natural health supplements are products like greens powders, superfood blends, probiotics, minerals and herbal formulas that add nutrients or botanical ingredients to a balanced diet. The Healthy Chef range includes wholefood powders such as Everyday Greens and Organic Superfood, and formulated supplements such as Magnesium+ and Menopause+.

What are examples of natural supplements?

Common examples include greens powders, berry and superfood blends, probiotics and prebiotics, magnesium, herbal extracts such as sage and lemon balm, and fish oil. In our range you'll find greens, superfood, probiotic, magnesium, menopause and metabolic formulas.

Which supplements should I take every day?

There's no single list that suits everyone. What you need depends on your diet, life stage and health. Start with a balanced diet, then fill specific gaps. Your doctor or an accredited practising dietitian can help you work out what's right for you.

Does the brand of a supplement matter?

Yes. Brands differ in ingredient quality, how much of each ingredient is in a serve, and how clearly that's shown on the label. Look for a brand that lists amounts per serve, explains where its ingredients come from and is formulated by qualified people.

Who should avoid natural health supplements?

Natural ingredients can still interact with medicines or be unsuitable for some people. Magnesium+ and Metabolic Burn are not suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Probiotic Plus Prebiotic is not suitable during pregnancy and should only be used under medical or dietetic supervision while breastfeeding. If you take medication, are pregnant or breastfeeding, or have a health condition, speak with your doctor or pharmacist first. Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

Which supplements shouldn't be taken together?

Some nutrients are best spaced apart, for example calcium and iron. Within our range, Probiotic Plus Prebiotic contains magnesium citrate, so halve your Magnesium+ serve if you take both on the same day. Ask your pharmacist before combining supplements with any medicine.

Can supplements replace a healthy diet?

No. Vitamin and mineral supplements should not replace a balanced diet. Our supplements are designed to sit alongside wholefoods, which is why Teresa pairs every product with recipes.

Are The Healthy Chef supplements vegan?

Yes. Every supplement in this collection is free from animal products and suitable for vegan and plant-based diets.

Are these supplements suitable for children?

Organic Superfood is suitable for the whole family. Metabolic Burn is not recommended for anyone under 18, and Probiotic Plus Prebiotic is not suitable for children under 15. For other products, check the label and ask your health professional.
