Lamberts

Lamberts is a British laboratory founded in 1982, based in Tunbridge Wells. It primarily supplies healthcare professionals, nutritionists, and pharmacies that incorporate nutrition into their practice; it has over 200 product lines and exports to dozens of countries. The company's philosophy is to develop products with a scientific basis and in dosages supported by literature.

Manufacturing to pharmaceutical standards

The products are manufactured in the UK in facilities that operate according to pharmaceutical Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) defined by the MHRA, the British medicines authority. This is a more demanding standard than that usually applied to food supplements, especially regarding process control and documentation. Every raw material is tested before entering production.

Labeling without tricks

The brand always declares the elemental levels of minerals, that is, the actual amount of mineral the product provides, rather than the weight of the compound, which is always higher. It describes nutrients for what they are, avoids highlighting ingredients present in irrelevant quantities, and does not use plants harvested from threatened wild populations. These are details that go unnoticed on a shelf, but which change the comparison between products.

Lamberts in five points

It is a discreet brand, without great communication fanfare, which has built its reputation among those who recommend supplements professionally. What defines it is on the label and in the factory.

1. British since 1982

Founded in 1982, with its headquarters in Tunbridge Wells, it primarily supplies health professionals, nutritionists, and pharmacies. It has over 200 references and exports to dozens of countries.

2. Manufacturing with pharmaceutical standards

It produces in the United Kingdom in facilities that follow the good pharmaceuticalmanufacturing practices defined by the MHRA, the British medicines authority. This is a level above what is required for a food supplement, and each raw material is tested before entering production.

3. Elemental levels of minerals

This is the most useful difference for those comparing products. The brand declares the elemental mineral, i.e., the actual amount the product provides, not the weight of the compound. When comparing magnesium or zinc from this brand with another, check if the other does the same: often, it does not.

4. Doses chosen based on literature

The brand develops products with a scientific basis and avoids highlighting nutrients present in irrelevant amounts just to pad the ingredient list. This is a common practice in the sector, and it is the kind of thing that makes a label look more complete than it actually is.

5. Sustainability in plants

Lamberts states it does not use plants harvested from threatened wild populations. It is a rarely discussed criterion, but relevant in phytotherapy, where several highly sought-after species are under harvesting pressure.

Perguntas frequentes

Quem é a Lamberts?
É um laboratório britânico fundado em 1982, com sede em Tunbridge Wells, em Inglaterra. Fornece sobretudo profissionais de saúde, nutricionistas e farmácias que usam nutrição no seu trabalho, e tem hoje mais de 200 referências, que exporta para dezenas de países.
O que significa fabrico segundo normas farmacêuticas?
Os produtos são fabricados em unidades no Reino Unido que operam segundo as boas práticas de fabrico (GMP) farmacêuticas definidas pela MHRA, a autoridade britânica do medicamento. É um padrão mais exigente do que o habitualmente aplicado a suplementos alimentares, sobretudo no controlo de processo e na documentação.
O que são níveis elementares dos minerais?
É a quantidade real de mineral que o produto fornece, por oposição ao peso do composto. Um rótulo pode dizer 375 mg de bisglicinato de magnésio, o que corresponde a bem menos magnésio. A Lamberts declara sempre o valor elementar, o que torna a comparação entre produtos muito mais honesta.
O que quer dizer potência nesta marca?
Que a dose é escolhida a partir da literatura científica e não do que fica bem no rótulo. A marca evita destacar nutrientes presentes em quantidades irrelevantes só para engrossar a lista de ingredientes, uma prática comum no setor.
Que tipo de produtos tem a marca?
Vitaminas e minerais isolados, multivitamínicos por faixa etária, plantas, óleos de peixe, glucosamina e fórmulas especializadas com nome próprio. Nesta página encontra uma seleção dessa gama, entre vitaminas, minerais, plantas e fórmulas digestivas.
A marca usa plantas de colheita selvagem?
A Lamberts declara não utilizar plantas colhidas em populações selvagens ameaçadas, o que é um critério de sustentabilidade pouco falado mas relevante em fitoterapia, onde várias espécies procuradas estão sob pressão de colheita.
