OUR STORY
We are surgeons, and we have been surgical patients ourselves. We take fitness and nutrition seriously in our own lives. We spent years educating patients on nutrition, and we decided to build this company for you.
Between us we have spent three decades in medicine, and in that time modern medicine has neglected nutrition. We decided we had to do better. Managing the details of life after surgery is a real burden for patients, so we did the homework and selected the products ourselves. We have taken the guesswork out, at a fair price, so you can return to the life you want to live.
Surgery and injury are hard enough on their own. Together we have performed nearly 20,000 surgeries, and we understand how much there is to manage afterward. We created Truthe so you can find an excellent product without hunting for it, and get back to your life.
Nutrition is critical to that recovery, and we wanted to give you one place to find it. Your body runs a deficit while it heals, and it needs more than it did before. Decades of treating these patients taught us what recovery asks of the body, so we built this for you.
HOW OUR PRODUCTS ARE MADE
Truthe nutrition products are made in FDA registered facilities in the United States, under the federal current Good Manufacturing Practice rule for dietary supplements at 21 CFR Part 111. Independent laboratories test the ingredients for identity, purity and potency before they enter production, and finished lots are tested for potency and for microbial safety. We do not claim a certification we do not hold, and we show no certifier's mark.
