Supplement & Health Disclaimer

Last updated: 29/07/2026

This page applies to all Rituo products (Rise, Focus, Calm, Sleep), the Rituo app, and the Rituo AI coach. Please read it before you start using any Rituo product.

1. General

Rise, Focus, Calm and Sleep are food supplements. They are not medicines, and they are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. They should not be used as a substitute for a varied, balanced diet, a healthy lifestyle, or professional medical care.

Food supplements affect people differently depending on individual body chemistry, diet, existing health conditions and other medications. Nothing on this page, on our product pages, or from our AI coach should be taken as personal medical advice.

2. Before you start

Please speak to your GP or pharmacist before taking any Rituo supplement if any of the following apply to you:

You are pregnant, trying to conceive, or breastfeeding
You are taking any prescribed medication, including but not limited to antidepressants (SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs, tricyclics), sedatives, sleeping tablets, blood thinners (such as warfarin), blood pressure medication, or thyroid medication
You have an existing medical condition, particularly relating to your heart, liver, kidneys, thyroid, or mental health
You are under 18 years of age
You have a scheduled surgery or medical procedure coming up
You have a known sensitivity to caffeine, stimulants, or herbal ingredients
You are already taking other supplements, especially anything containing overlapping active ingredients

This list is a starting point, not an exhaustive one. If you are unsure whether Rituo is right for you for any reason, please check with a healthcare professional first. It costs nothing to ask and it is always the safer option.

3. Ingredient interactions

Some of our formulations contain ingredients that can interact with medications or other supplements. This is not unique to Rituo, it is true of most botanical and nutrient-based supplements, but we want to be specific rather than vague about it.

Calm and Sleep contain ingredients that may influence serotonin activity (for example, certain botanicals used traditionally for relaxation). These should not be combined with SSRIs, SNRIs, MAOIs or other antidepressant or mood-affecting medication without first checking with your GP or pharmacist, due to the risk of excessive serotonin activity.

Rise and Focus may contain natural sources of caffeine or other stimulating compounds. If you are sensitive to caffeine, managing high blood pressure, or already consuming caffeine from other sources (coffee, tea, energy drinks, other supplements), take this into account before adding these to your routine.

Full, current ingredient lists are published on each individual product page and printed on the packaging. These are the definitive source for what is actually in each formula. If you cannot find the information you need there, contact us before use rather than assuming.

4. Dosage

Do not exceed the stated dose on the product packaging. Taking more than the recommended amount will not accelerate or improve results, and may increase the risk of side effects. If you miss a dose, do not double up to compensate, simply resume your normal dose at the next scheduled time.

5. Allergens

Full allergen information is listed on each product page and on the packaging itself. Please check this carefully before use if you have any known food allergy or intolerance. Formulations may change over time, so we'd recommend checking the label on each new purchase rather than relying on memory of a previous batch.

6. Side effects

As with any new supplement, some people may experience mild effects when first introducing a new ingredient to their routine, such as changes in digestion or alertness. These are usually temporary. If you experience any adverse reaction, stop use immediately and consult your GP. If a reaction is severe, seek urgent medical attention.

7. Our AI coach

Rituo's app includes an AI coach that offers personalised wellness guidance, and may suggest one of our supplements as part of a daily ritual based on how you say you're feeling. This section explains exactly what the AI coach is, and is not, so there's no ambiguity.

What the AI coach is

A tool that responds to information you choose to share (your mood, goals, and preferences) with general wellness suggestions, habit prompts, and, where relevant, supplement suggestions from our existing product range.

What the AI coach is not

It is not a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, therapist, or any other kind of medical or mental health professional
It cannot diagnose any physical or mental health condition
It cannot prescribe, adjust, or advise on any medication
It does not have access to your medical history, GP records, or current prescriptions unless you type that information into the chat yourself, and even then, it cannot act as a clinician on the basis of it
Its responses are generated by an AI model and, while designed to be helpful, may occasionally be incomplete, generic, or wrong. It should be treated as a starting point for reflection, not a final answer

Your responsibility

You remain responsible for checking any AI coach suggestion against your own medical circumstances, and for speaking to a healthcare professional before starting a new supplement if any of the circumstances in Section 2 apply to you. If the coach's suggestion conflicts with advice you've received from a healthcare professional, always follow the healthcare professional's advice.

8. Mental health

Rituo's app and AI coach are designed to support everyday wellbeing and habit-building. They are not designed for, and must not be relied on in, a mental health emergency.

If you are experiencing a mental health crisis, please contact your GP, call NHS 111, or contact the Samaritans free, any time, on 116 123.

9. Questions

If anything on this page is unclear, or you have a specific question about whether a Rituo product is suitable for you, please contact us before use. We'd rather answer a question upfront than have you guess.
