Q: Why should I be interested in vitamins and minerals that come directly from food?

A: Synthetically-derived vitamins and minerals are not balanced, do not contain nutrient co-factors (that are necessary for the nutrient to perform its duties) and have poor bioavailability (less than 25% compared to 100% bioavailability with real-food vitamins and minerals. Real-Food derived nutrients are extracted directly from organic plant-sources in their whole-natural food form, meaning they are as close to food as possible and don't contain any unnatural ingredients like synthetic nutrients, fillers, binders, common allergens, or artificial sweeteners. Aside from this, Samuraw Organic Complete nutrients are in their raw natural state and are not processed using any harsh chemicals excessive heat.

Q: Why do some manufacturers claim their products are from real-food then?

A: Many so-called food-based vitamin and mineral formulas are actually a concoction of synthetic nutrients that are added to sugar and yeast and mixed together with real food ingredients (yes, sometimes organic). This is like taking a synthetic multi vitamin formula and eating it with an organic salad and calling it real-food nutrients!

Q: Who can take Samuraw Organic Complete?

A: Samuraw Organic Complete is designed for everyone. Although our Kids & Teens formula is created for kids older than 2, many parents have given it to their 2 year-old’s and above with great success. This is a concentrated natural food-derived organic multi vitamin/mineral formula with the most researched probiotic. If you choose to give it to your kids below aged 4, we would suggest using only half of the 1-gram serving/day (0.5 gram).

Q: Why choose a multi-vitamin/mineral formula with a research-proven probiotic?

A: Research indicates, a good probiotic can increase the absorption rate of nutrients from foods by 50% or more. On top of that probiotic bacteria are supposed to be the main source of vitamins B, K, biotin and many other substances within the body.

Q: Where can I buy Samuraw Organic Complete?

A: Samuraw Organic Complete is available for purchase on-line at https://www.samuraw.ca/products/samuraw-organic-complete or at a health food store in your area (https://samuraw.ca/pages/store-locator).

Please understand that this is truly a real-food-derived vitamin and mineral formula (with the world’s most clinically researched probiotic thrown in for good measure) that only uses USDA certified organic super foods to obtain nutrients in their most natural and synergistic forms (just like in real food). Other vitamin and mineral formulas add in isolated nutrients in a synthetic form, whereas a few formulas use a food-based nutrient added back to the formula (but still in isolated forms). All of our nutrients are attached to microscopic nutrient co-factors that allow each nutrient to be fully recognized, accepted and utilized by human cells. We guarantee that there is no other formula on the market that is as naturally produced as Samuraw Organic Complete!

Q: Your product states allergen-free, but it doesn't say peanut-free. Why?

A: We can officially state that there are no peanuts in our Formula.  With respect to the Manufacturing facility that we use, they are not a certified peanut-free certified facility.  Our product is isolated from all other products being manufactured but we cannot make guarantee’s on behalf of the manufacturer for health & safety reasons.

Q: Why isn’t the bottle completely full?

A: Samuraw Organic Complete for KIDS & TEENS is the world’s first and only 100% organic real-food derived multi vitamin/mineral/probiotic formula.  Don’t be shocked when you open the bottle, as some people are surprised by the amount of powder they see, Samuraw Organic Complete for KIDS & TEENS  is a super concentrated vitamin/mineral/probiotic formula that delivers an amazing amount of nutrition in a small serving (1 gram). We don’t believe in adding in any binders, fillers or anything else that doesn’t add to the health profile of the formula, so you are only left with 100% clean, organic, raw, unaltered nutrition! And by the way, we guarantee 30 full servings for every bottle.

Q: How many servings in a bottle?

A:  There are 30 full servings per bottle.

Q:  Why doesn’t it taste super sweet?

A:  People are used to vitamin formulas that are sweetened, but Samuraw Organic Complete does not contain any sweeteners at all (as in zero sugar), so please don’t expect it to taste like candy, because it doesn’t! Instead, Samuraw Organic Complete is delivered as a 100% natural powder that can be mixed with just about anything with virtually no taste.

Q: Does this really have no taste and how does it affect texture of regular juice?

A: Unfortunately, these days too many kids have been taking synthetic vitamins, along with too much sugar, coloring, flavoring, etc. Due to this fact, It can take a try or two for a kid to fall in love with our product, but most eventually do. We have heard over and over again that kids actually ask their parents for their Super Juice now.

We don’t use any flavoring, sweeteners (of any kind) or synthetic ingredients, so a natural product like this is not designed to taste great. Instead, Samuraw Organic Complete is designed to taste, well natural. If you mix it in a small amount (2-4oz) of your child’s favorite juice (orange in your case), most children won't notice it. The texture is very fine so in a small amount of juice, it is pretty neutral.

The formula was created to help parents transition their kids away from all the stuff on the market that really isn’t supporting their health the way vitamins and minerals are supposed to. The testimonials we receive daily further support how incredible this formula really is. We would love for your child to experience what thousands of others are experiencing (as told by their parents).

Q:  What’s the best way to take Samuraw Organic Complete?

A:  It is best to mix Samuraw Organic Complete with your favorite juice, yogurt, smoothie, etc.  If you do mix it in juice use only 2-4 ounces and consume it as soon as possible (as in don’t let it sit for an extended period of time, as it will settle).

Q:  Is Samuraw Organic Complete just another greens formula?

A:  Samuraw Organic Complete is not another greens formula. Instead it’s the world’s first 100% food derived-vitamin, mineral, probiotic formula for anyone looking for a natural alternative to synthetic vitamins.

Q:  Samuraw Organic Complete has a probiotic, does that mean I need to refrigerate it after opened?

A:  Samuraw Organic Complete contains an array of naturally occurring co-factors, which also act as powerful antioxidants that help to stabilize the food-based nutrients. The probiotic we use is also shelf-stable, meaning it does not require refrigeration. Having said this, the formula is a real-food formula, and therefore we do suggest refrigerating after opening for best effects.

Q: Where can I see the Nutritional Panel and DV%?

A: You can find all of our Ingredients and our Nutritional Fact Panel here https://www.samuraw.ca/pages/samuraw-organic-complete. Please understand that this is truly a real-food-derived vitamin and mineral formula (with the world’s most clinically researched probiotic thrown in for good measure) that only uses USDA certified organic super foods to obtain nutrients in their most natural and synergistic forms (just like in real food). Other vitamin and mineral formulas add in isolated nutrients in a synthetic form, whereas a few formulas use a food-based nutrient added back to the formula (but still in isolated forms).

All of our nutrients are attached to microscopic nutrient co-factors that allow each nutrient to be fully recognized, accepted and utilized by human cells. We guarantee that there is no other formula on the market that is as naturally produced as Samuraw Organic Complete and we are so positive you’ll notice the difference for yourself, that we offer a Money-Back-Guarantee if you aren’t completely satisfied with this incredible formula!

Q: Is your Probiotic Dairy free?

A: The probiotic is human-strain and is completely derived from microbiological sources and is 100% dairy-free (including lactose-free).

Q: Why isn't the bottle completely full and it seems expensive?

A: At Samuraw we have thousands of happy moms and dads who have used Samuraw Organic Complete with their families and swear by the results they see and feel. Judging by the review you shared, we felt it was important to reach out to you and share a few important facts:

• At first glance, a few people are surprised by the amount of powder they see when they open the bottle, but this in no way reflects a lack of product, as Samuraw Organic Complete is a super concentrated vitamin/mineral/probiotic formula that delivers an amazing amount of nutrition in a small serving (1 gram for Kids & Teens and 2 grams for Adults).
• Could we fill the bottle more with unnecessary cheap fillers like lecithin to make it look better as so many other companies do? Yes, however we don’t believe in adding in any binders, fillers or anything else that doesn’t add to the health profile of the formula, so you are only left with 100% clean, organic, raw, unaltered nutrition!

• You state it is expensive, however we guarantee 30 full servings for every bottle, which works out to $1.00/day. We’re not sure how this could be perceived as expensive considering the magnitude of organic nutrition we are delivering per serving.

In the end, you are the consumer and you are the one that needs to feel satisfied, and every one of our customers are important to our mission. We wanted to take the time to explain what we are all about just in case this may have been a misunderstanding.

Q: Is Samuraw Organic Complete certified peanut free and why is the probiotic so special? 

A: We have several parents who have told us they use Samuraw when almost every other product fails in terms of their children’s sensitivities. We do our best to make sure the product is as allergen-free as possible (gluten-free, dairy-free, soy-free, etc.) however the GMP facility where Samuraw is bottled is not a certified-peanut-free facility. Having said this, Samuraw is bottled in a separate room and the facility does not use peanuts in its other manufacturing. We just want to be as forthright as we can be.

The amazing news is, the human-strain probiotic we use, is well documented to help with immunity and several areas of allergic reaction. It is also by far the most prolifically researched probiotic in the world, as well as the most trusted, safe, effective and most recommended by pediatricians.

The health benefits of Lactobacillus GG go far beyond digestive health, as studies show this specific strain of probiotic is able to inhibit pathogens and their toxins, and help restore and re-set immune function. It is a well-known immune-booster as well and is often called the vitamin C of probiotics.

It’s really the combination of the organic nutrients (21) and the probiotic that makes Samuraw Organic Complete so effective in helping numerous kids and teens live healthier lives.

Q: Is there a comparative product on the market?

A: We usually do not like to compare Samuraw Organic Complete to other formulas, as we are very unique in what we achieved with this formula comparatively. For one, we are not a green formula or a protein formula, as seen with the example you sent, but we do have the world’s best multi vitamin, mineral and probiotic formula as all of our nutrients come directly from superfoods. Once again drawing from the example you sent as a comparison, they use plant based proteins, some green superfoods and add in a synthetic multi vitamin at low RDAs and do not include any probiotics. The RDAs are not so much the issue with formula’s like this, but more the fact that they use synthetic nutrients that are difficult to assimilate as they are in isolated forms and do not contain micronutrient co-factors.

Please understand this is what over 99% of the market does, meaning they deliver isolated synthetic nutrients that basically all come from the same manufacturers/suppliers. We are trying to change all that by delivering a stabilized food supplement that mimics the nutrients you would get from real foods, but in a highly concentrated and organic form. In other words, there really is no comparison as there is nothing else on the market that comes close to what Samuraw Organic Complete is.

Aside from all the above, the probiotic we use - Lactobacillus GG – helps with a lot more than digestive issues. Studies show this specific strain of probiotic is able to inhibit pathogens and their toxins, and help restore and re-set immune function. It is a well-known immune-booster as well and is often called the vitamin C of probiotics. It’s really the combination of the organic nutrients (21) and the probiotic that makes Samuraw Organic Complete so effective in helping numerous kids and teens live healthier lives.

Q: Is this Snake oil?

A: You are obviously welcome to your opinion, however in this case, it is not based on fact. Most of what we consume is not organic and happens to be laden with toxic pesticides. Most of the earth’s soil is deficient in micronutrients due to modern farming practices. But there are many choices available to us, that are clean and healthy.

This is why companies who truly do use organic ingredients that are actually derived directly from organic foods – as in the case of Samuraw – should be applauded and supported. People think nothing of spending their money on synthetic vitamin formulas that do next to nothing for the body and in some cases may actually create imbalances.

Nutrient supplementation from real food derived vitamins and minerals along with the world's most clinically researched probiotic, can do amazing things. Especially if people are also willing to clean up their diets - at least most of the time. Samuraw Organic Complete is as far from a sales gimmick as you can get. Just read the “real and verified customer” testimonials on our website, unless one believes that everyone is lying.

Q: What are the calcium and magnesium levels?

A: Samuraw Organic Complete is the most concentrated whole-food-derived multi vitamin/mineral/probiotic formula ever created. All of our vitamins and minerals are derived 100% from real organic produce, unlike other formulas – such as numerous greens multi’s – where companies add synthetic and isolated nutrients to real green foods. This is akin to taking a synthetic, isolated multi vitamin and consuming it with an organic salad. At the end of the day, the nutrients are still in a state the human body will have difficulty using.

We do not include calcium or magnesium in our formula, as these are very large molecules that take up an enormous amount of space. This is why all other companies who include them in a multi vitamin/mineral formula, need to use salt forms of the mineral, as real-food minerals are way too large. For instance, you can consume a calcium supplement from a health food store in a rather large quantity (say 500 mg), yet research shows that eating broccoli with exceptionally smaller amounts of calcium is better, as the calcium is actually bound to real-food molecules that the body can recognize.

Whenever taking any multi vitamin/mineral formulas, it is always best to use a separate mineral source of calcium and magnesium with supporting nutrients. The bisglycinate form of both seem to be the best that is available today.

Just so you are aware, aside from only using real organic foods to extract our vitamins and minerals, we are emphatic about our testing models. All the raw materials are tested when they arrive at our GMP (Good-Manufacturing Practices) facility, and third-party tested after manufacturing. We guarantee that Samuraw Organic Complete is confirmed negative for any pesticides, solvents, microbials, E.coli., Staphylococcus, Salmonella, Yeasts and Molds, as well as heavy metals including (but not limited to); Arsenic, Mercury, Cadmium and Lead.

It’s also important to note; the human-strain probiotic we use, is the most trusted, safe and effective probiotic known.

The health benefits of Lactobacillus GG go far beyond digestive health, as studies show this specific strain of probiotic is able to inhibit pathogens and their toxins, and help restore and re-set immune function. It is a well-known immune-booster as well and is often called the vitamin C of probiotics.

We hope this helps.

Q: Can I take Samuraw if I’m PREGNANT?

A: Although there are numerous women who take products like ours while pregnant, we are unable – by law – to give you an opinion one way or another.

What we can tell you is; there is no other concentrated multi vitamin/mineral and probiotic formula available today that is as clean, organic and natural.

Q: Where does your Folate and B12 come from?

A: All of our nutrients are in their natural activated food-forms. For instance, our folate (vitamin B9) is in Dietary Folate Equivalents (DFE), which is the term used for natural food forms of folate (as opposed to synthetic folic acid). This active form of folate is converted quite easily to levomefolic acid or 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-MTHF) in the digestive system, whereas the great majority of folic acid (the synthetic form used in most supplements) is not converted or activated in the digestive system. This places undue stress on the liver and other tissues (as these areas are forced to convert it to a usable form). There is L-Methylfolate in Samuraw. Most of the food-form of natural folate is converted readily to L-Methylfolate within the digestive system.

The forms of B12 that are derived from our organic superfoods are; methylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin. Both of these are exceptionally well absorbed and utilized by the body and brain.

Q: How do you get all the Nutrients DV% to be the same?

A: We use a proprietary hybrid freeze drying and cold air process to dry our organic superfoods, which are then ground into a fine powder to maximize the surface area available for extracting the vitamins and minerals. We also use natural solvents like water in order to maximize the levels of each vitamin and mineral, wherein we can ensure a precise amount of each of the 21 nutrients. This process is vetted by both the FDA as well as Health Canada.  

Once again, there is no heat used in our processing – at all, which guarantees a true raw form of each nutrient along with their naturally-occurring micronutrient co-factors.

Q: Are your ingredients fermented? 

A: All of our nutrients are derived directly from 25 certified organic superfoods in their most natural raw state. We do not use any heat at all in our extraction process. There is no need for fermentation, as all nutrients are activated in the most bioavailable forms for the body to use.

Q:  Is your product sprouted?

A: Our product is not sprouted, as sprouting only helps free up bound nutrients in plant foods. There is no need for this with Samuraw Organic Complete, as ALL our nutrients are already bioavailable and in their most concentrated food-based forms.
