How do I update the billing information on my order?

Once an order has been placed, the billing details linked to the payment cannot be changed. This is because they are passed directly to the payment provider such as your bank or PayPal for security reasons.

What you can do

  • If you entered the wrong billing address, do not worry. This will not affect delivery, as parcels are always sent to the shipping address.

  • If you need to update your card details or PayPal account, you will need to do this in your account or with your bank, then use the updated details for future orders.

  • For subscriptions, log into your account and click on the Subscriptions tab. From there, you can update your billing information for recurring payments.

Things to know

Why can’t I track my order?

Tracking doesn’t always update in real time. This is most common with Royal Mail, but can also happen with DHL depending on scan points.

Royal Mail tracking

  • Not all services provide full tracking.

  • Updates may only show when the parcel is out for delivery or after delivery.

  • It can take 24-48 hours after dispatch for the number to activate.
    👉 Track your parcel at delivery.metabolics.com/track
    👉 Royal Mail guidance: “Tracking information isn’t always available until your item has been delivered or a delivery attempt has been made.”

DHL tracking

  • Usually updates at each step, but short delays can occur between scan points.

  • Some early statuses may just show “Shipment information received” until the parcel reaches the export depot.

  • DHL Express deliveries to the USA typically update more frequently than Royal Mail.

How long does this product last?

Expiry, serving, and storage information are always printed on the product label - for US products the date of manufacture is printed in accordance with US supplement regulations.  

Typical shelf life

  • Liquids: minimum of 12 months from the date of manufacture.

  • Capsules and powders: up to 2 years, depending on the product composition.

  • Shelf life may vary due to factors such as ingredient interactions and the hygroscopicity (moisture-absorbing nature) of certain materials.

Our approach

  • We avoid preservatives and added stability agents wherever possible.

  • All products are manufactured under GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and tested for quality throughout their shelf life.

Storage advice

  • Keep products in their original containers with lids closed tightly.

  • Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

  • Always check the expiry date before use.

What makes Metabolics supplements different?

We have been manufacturing clean label supplements for over 30 years. All products are made in our own facilities in Wiltshire, UK, under strict Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP).

We use vegetarian capsule shells as standard. The exact material is listed on the product label and on the website.

We believe supplements should be as clean as possible. Instead of adding preservatives, we protect stability through careful formulation, packaging, and batch testing.


Are Metabolics supplements produced in-house?

All Metabolics supplements are produced in house at our two manufacturing sites in Wiltshire, UK. We never outsource production.


How do you test your products for quality and safety?

Every batch is tested for identity, purity, and stability. All testing is carried out under GMP standards to guarantee quality.


Why don’t you provide Certificates of Analysis (COAs)?

We do not provide COAs to customers. Instead, we guarantee quality through in house testing, GMP compliance, and transparent labelling on every product.


Can I take multiple supplements at the same time?

Many customers combine products. We cannot give personal medical advice. If you are unsure about combinations or interactions, speak to a qualified practitioner.


Are Metabolics products suitable during pregnancy or breastfeeding?

Some products may not be suitable. Please speak to your healthcare professional before use. Always follow the label.


Why does the colour or smell look different from my last bottle?

Natural variation can occur between batches due to raw ingredient characteristics. This does not affect quality. Every batch is tested under GMP before release.

What research do you base your formulations on?

All Metabolics formulations are based on current scientific literature, practitioner input, and decades of manufacturing experience. We review peer-reviewed studies and clinical data when selecting nutrient forms and dosages.


Do you publish clinical data?

We do not run clinical trials ourselves, but our formulations are built from published, peer-reviewed evidence. All product claims are compliant with UK and EU food supplement regulations.


How are nutrient forms and dosages selected?

We use forms of nutrients with proven stability and absorption, avoiding unnecessary additives. Dosages are set to align with safe and effective use, always within regulatory limits.


Do you test for heavy metals and contaminants?

Yes. Every ingredient and finished batch is tested for identity, purity, and safety, which includes screening for heavy metals, microbes, and contaminants.


How can I check for supplement interactions?

Our Standards

What does GMP mean and why does it matter?

GMP stands for Good Manufacturing Practice. It is the internationally recognised standard that ensures supplements are consistently produced and controlled to the highest quality. At Metabolics, every stage of manufacturing, from ingredient sourcing to final testing, follows GMP.


Do you manufacture everything in house?

Yes. All Metabolics supplements are manufactured in our own facilities in Wiltshire, UK. We do not outsource production, which means we maintain full control over quality and traceability.


Are you compliant with the US FDA?

Yes. We are fully compliant with the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have been successfully audited multiple times. This is one of the highest levels of compliance in the food supplements industry. It means our products meet not only UK and EU standards but also the rigorous requirements of the US market.


How do you source your ingredients?

All ingredients are sourced from trusted global suppliers. Each supplier must provide comprehensive safety documentation and Certificates of Analysis (COAs) before we accept any material.

How do you test your products for quality and safety?
We validate every ingredient and finished product through multiple layers of testing:

  • Identity testing to confirm the ingredient is exactly what it claims to be

  • Microbiological testing on every batch to ensure safety

  • Finished batch testing before release

  • Ongoing surveillance testing to monitor stability and quality over time

This means we are not just relying on supplier documentation but independently confirming quality at every stage.

What steps do you take to ensure product stability?

We design every formula with stability in mind. This includes considering ingredient interactions, hygroscopicity (moisture absorption), and packaging choices. All products are monitored for stability as part of our GMP process.


Where are Metabolics products made?

All Metabolics products are designed and manufactured in-house at our state-of-the-art clean room facility in Wiltshire, in the South West of the UK.

Our Manufacturing Facility

Metabolics operates from a purpose-built, state-of-the-art clean room manufacturing facility located at 5 Eastcott Common, Eastcott, Devizes, Wiltshire, SN10 4PL.

As far as we are aware, there is no other UK nutritional supplement manufacturer with the same standard of manufacturing facility.

Clean Room Manufacturing Standards

Our manufacturing process takes place in a controlled clean room environment that ensures products are produced to the highest standards.

Key features of our manufacturing include:

  • Semi-automatic machinery - Our equipment runs without added lubricants, eliminating the need for machine-smoothing agents that some manufacturers use to speed up production

  • Random batch testing - We conduct quality checks to guarantee all products meet our very high standards

  • Post-clean sampling - We take samples following equipment clean-down to ensure there is absolutely no chance of contamination

Quality Control & Purity

We are fully committed to providing the highest levels of purity and quality in all our supplements. This starts with sourcing the best quality raw materials of the highest purity.

What we add:

  • Most of our encapsulated products contain only the active ingredients and nothing else

  • When the quantity of an ingredient is too small to create a usable product, we add one filler only: plant cellulose, a plant-sourced dietary fibre that passes harmlessly through the body

  • For liquid supplements, we only add purified water (18.2MΩ), which is as pure as water can be

What we do not add:

  • No hidden fillers, emulsifiers, binders, lubricants or stabilisers

  • No Magnesium Stearate, Stearic Acid, Polyvinylpyrrolidone or Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose

  • Nothing that could possibly interfere with the active ingredients

Our Accreditations

Metabolics products are manufactured under strict guidelines and quality certifications, including:

  • GMP & HACCP certification - Ensures food supplements are constantly manufactured and controlled to a high standard

  • ISO 9001:2015 - Quality management system that consistently provides products and services meeting customer and regulatory requirements

  • ISO 14001:2015 - Allows us to measure and improve our environmental impact

  • U.S. FDA registration - Registered with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration pursuant to the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act

Our History

Metabolics has been operating for over 25 years, having been founded in 1991 by Alison Astill-Smith, a fully registered and experienced Osteopath. Alison established Metabolics to offer practitioners and individuals the best quality nutrition after being dissatisfied with the quality of supplements available for use in her practice.

We are a relatively small, family-run business with an excellent team of people, all committed to producing the highest quality nutritional supplements to our customers across the globe.

Sustainability & Ethics

What is your packaging made from?
  • Product packaging: We use plastic bottles for most supplements and glass bottles for some liquid products.

  • Shipping packaging: Orders are packed using protective cardboard pulp, which is often made from recycled material.

How do I recycle Metabolics packaging?

How do I recycle Metabolics packaging?

  • Plastic bottles and lids: Rinse and recycle with household plastics.

  • Glass bottles: Recycle with household glass collections.

  • Cardboard boxes and pulp protectors: Recycle with household paper and card.

  • Labels and seals: These are small enough to be recycled with the main container.

Which courier has the lowest carbon footprint?

We often use Royal Mail, which has one of the lowest carbon footprints in the UK. Many deliveries are made on foot or by bicycle, making it more sustainable than van-only services.


Do you use renewable energy?

Yes. All energy supplied to our manufacturing facilities in Wiltshire comes from renewable sources.


Do you use animal testing?

No. We do not conduct or commission animal testing on any of our products.


Practitioner Support

How do I set up a practitioner account?

We provide practitioner accounts exclusively for qualified healthcare professionals.

  • To register, complete the practitioner sign-up form.

  • You will need to upload your qualification certificates and proof of insurance, or evidence that you are currently undertaking a recognised training course.

  • Once approved, you will have access to practitioner resources and product ordering.

Can I recommend products to my clients?

Yes. Practitioner accounts include tools to support your clients. You can browse the shop section of the practitioner portal, build a basket of products, and share it directly with your clients.


Is there a way to share a basket with a patient?

Yes. In the practitioner portal, you can create a basket tailored to your client’s needs. A shareable link is generated, which you can send via email, WhatsApp, or social media. Your client can then purchase the exact products you recommend.


How do I use the practitioner portal?

The practitioner portal is designed to support healthcare professionals in working with their clients.

What you’ll find inside

  • Full access to the Metabolics product range

  • Practitioner tools to help manage client recommendations

  • Learning resources and professional support materials

  • Account management and order history in one place

How to access

  • From there, you will have everything you need to use Metabolics products effectively within your practice.

Why don’t you offer a standard affiliate program?

At Metabolics, we only work with trained healthcare professionals to ensure the highest standards of care. Practitioner accounts allow recommendations to be made responsibly and professionally, rather than through public affiliate links.


What’s the difference between liquids, capsules, and powders?
  • Liquids: fast absorption, often ideal for flexible dosing

  • Capsules: convenient, pre-measured servings, easy to take on the go

  • Powders: flexible for mixing into food or drinks, good for higher doses

Can I take multiple supplements at the same time?

Many customers use a combination of supplements. However, we cannot provide individual medical advice. If you are unsure, please consult a qualified healthcare professional before combining products.

Wholesale / Business Accounts

Do you supply retailers and clinics?

Yes. In addition to practitioner accounts, we supply health stores, pharmacies, and clinics worldwide. We are open to building long-term relationships with partners who share our values.


How do I set up a wholesale or trade account?

Email sales@metabolics.co.uk with your business details, including your registration and VAT number if applicable. Our team will review your application and get back to you.
