This \u003cstrong\u003egreen juice superfood mix\u003c\/strong\u003e significantly simplifies things. You mix the powder in water or a smoothie, and it's ready. It consists of six plant-based ingredients, including barley grass, guarana, maca, moringa, chlorella, and spirulina. Convenient for those who want to drink something green daily without kitchen hassle and a cupboard full of separate jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in this green superfood blend\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base of this blend is young barley grass powder. Barley grass is the young green leaf of the barley plant, harvested before the grain forms. It is precisely at this young stage that the leaf is richest in fiber and greenest. The blend also contains maca root powder, a root from the Peruvian Andes that has been part of local cuisine for centuries, much like we use radishes or celeriac. Moringa oleifera powder comes from the moringa tree, a tree widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions for its nutritious leaves. These three ingredients together give the blend its body and deep green color. Erythritol, a sweetener obtained from fermented starch, and natural lemon flavoring provide a fresh note that doesn't weigh too heavily on the stomach. Citric acid is added as an acidity regulator, so the taste remains stable from the first to the last spoon from the jar. Thus, the last portion tastes about the same as the first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGuarana for your vitality and metabolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuarana is a climbing plant native to the Amazon, known for its seeds from which this powder is made. Local people have used guarana for generations, often grated into powder as in this blend. Guarana helps maintain physical and mental vitality*. Guarana also contributes to weight control and fat metabolism*. In this blend, each 20-gram serving provides 2.5 grams of guarana powder, as much as maca and moringa. This makes guarana one of the most important components alongside barley grass, and not just a filler ingredient. What many don't know: guarana seeds are traditionally dried and roasted before being ground into powder, a process that determines the taste and dark color of the final product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpirulina and chlorella, two algae in one spoonful\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpirulina platensis and Chlorella pyrenoidosa are both single-celled algae that grow in freshwater and have been recognized for decades as a food source for humans and animals. Spirulina helps increase tone and vitality and helps with fatigue*. Spirulina also contributes to weight control, as it slows down starch breakdown, allowing you to eat normally while absorbing less energy*. Chlorella is present in similar quantities in the blend, 2.3 grams per serving compared to 2.3 grams of spirulina, and is especially valued for its dense cellular structure and deep green color. The difference lies in the cell wall: chlorella has a tougher outer shell than spirulina, which is why chlorella is usually finely ground. Together, these two algae form the green base of each spoonful, alongside barley grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to incorporate this green drink into your day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA daily serving of this \u003cstrong\u003egreen superfood mix\u003c\/strong\u003e consists of five level scoops, or 20 grams of powder. You mix it in water, juice, or a smoothie, as its composition clearly suggests. Many users prefer it in the morning, as part of breakfast or just before. Others prefer to mix it with yogurt, porridge, or fruit, so the portion automatically fits into an already planned meal. Thus, this \u003cstrong\u003egreen juice superfood mix\u003c\/strong\u003e becomes a habit rather than an isolated action that is quickly forgotten. Moreover, thanks to the lemon flavoring and erythritol, the taste is less bitter than one might expect with green powders. The powder is noticeably fine enough to dissolve quickly, without clumps at the bottom. This is partly due to the fact that powdered barley grass, maca, and moringa all have a fine grain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis superfood mix is vegan and consists of six plant-based ingredients in a single 420-gram jar, or about 21 servings. Barley grass, guarana, maca, moringa, chlorella, and spirulina cover a large part of the plant world in a single spoonful.

This is a woody shrub from West Africa whose seeds are naturally rich in this substance. One jar contains 120 vegetable capsules, enough to last four months at one capsule per day. Below, you can read at your leisure what exactly 5-HTP is, where it comes from, and what to look out for when comparing different jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 5-HTP Actually Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5-HTP is short for 5-hydroxytryptophan, a substance your body produces itself from the amino acid L-tryptophan. This amino acid is found in common foods like bananas, milk, nuts, and cheese. In your body, 5-HTP is an intermediate step in a chain: L-tryptophan is converted into 5-HTP, 5-HTP is then converted into serotonin, and at night, some of this serotonin is converted back into melatonin. The name refers to its place in this sequence, somewhere in the middle. In this product, the substance does not come from a lab, but from a plant source: an extract from Griffonia simplicifolia seeds, which naturally contain a high amount of 5-HTP. This gives you the same molecular structure that your body uses, but from a concentrated plant extract rather than a meal. The shrub grows mainly in coastal regions of countries like Ghana and Ivory Coast, where the pods are harvested by hand and the seeds are extracted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 30% Extract Means Something\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label states 666 mg of Griffonia extract, standardized to 30% 5-HTP. This percentage indicates the amount of pure 5-HTP contained in the extract: 30% of 666 mg corresponds to 200 mg. And this is precisely the figure that truly matters. Two jars containing the same number of milligrams of extract can significantly differ in 5-HTP content, because one is standardized to a higher percentage than the other. Therefore, when comparing 5-HTP capsules, one should look at the number of milligrams of 5-HTP and not just the amount of extract. For this product, the content is measured per batch, so that each capsule contains the same 200 mg. This makes the comparison more honest, as you know exactly what you have in hand. In summary: a high extract figure means little if the standardization percentage is low.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Difference with L-tryptophan\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn this topic, you will encounter two closely related names: 5-HTP and L-tryptophan. They belong to the same chain, but there is a difference in the path your body takes. L-tryptophan must first be converted into 5-HTP by an enzyme, a slow step. Moreover, your body uses most dietary tryptophan for protein synthesis and other substances, so little remains for this conversion. 5-HTP is already beyond this enzyme and thus skips this first step. It also crosses the intestinal wall without having to compete with other amino acids for the same transporter, which happens with L-tryptophan. In practice, this means a shorter and more direct path than with L-tryptophan. This is why many people specifically choose 5-HTP.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure and Vegan Production\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula has been deliberately designed to be clean. The capsule contains only the Griffonia extract and the capsule shell itself, nothing more. No excipients, no colorants, and no magnesium stearate as a flowing agent. The capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), making this product vegan and free of gelatin. The extract is produced in the EU and batch-controlled for its 5-HTP content, so that the content remains consistent from one capsule to the next. This ensures that the 200 mg stated on the label is indeed the 200 mg contained in your capsule, every time. For those who prefer to know precisely how much 5-HTP they receive daily, this fixed dose provides a clear reference point. You take one capsule per day, so with 120 capsules per jar, one purchase lasts four months. The fact that the capsule is otherwise empty means you know precisely what you are receiving: the extract and the vegetable shell, and nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, with these 5-HTP capsules you get a standardized form of Griffonia simplicifolia, with 200 mg of 5-hydroxytryptophan per capsule and a jar that lasts four months.

GEN's Ashwagandha Shoden provides 300 mg of standardized extract per capsule, derived from the root and leaf of Withania somnifera. One jar contains 60 vegan capsules, which is a two-month supply at one capsule per day. Below, we calmly explain what this Shoden extract precisely is, where it comes from, and what to look for when comparing ashwagandhas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Ashwagandha Actually Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha is a shrub native to India and the Middle East. In Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, the plant has been used for thousands of years. It is sometimes referred to as Indian ginseng, although ashwagandha is not botanically related to true ginseng. Its Latin name is Withania somnifera. In Sanskrit, ashwagandha roughly translates to \"smell of a horse,\" referring to the distinctive odor of the fresh root. Traditionally, the plant is called an adaptogen, a generic term for botanicals that people have used for centuries. We deliberately won't say more here. There are no EU-approved health claims for ashwagandha, so you won't read anything from us about what it does in your body. What we can tell you, however, is where the plant comes from, how the extract is made, and how concentrated it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 35% Withanolides Means Something\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithanolides are the key plant substances in ashwagandha. The percentage on the label tells you how much of these substances are in the extract. And there's a big difference between products. Most ashwagandha extracts are around 5% withanolides. Shoden reaches 35%, which is about seven times more concentrated per milligram. This level is fixed for each batch, as the raw material is measured by HPLC, a laboratory method that precisely determines the withanolide content. Two jars containing the same number of milligrams of extract can therefore differ significantly in active plant substance. So, when comparing ashwagandha capsules, one looks at the percentage of withanolides and the source, not just the number of milligrams. And it is precisely this percentage that many online stores print in tiny font. In this product, 300 mg of Shoden extract provides 105 mg of withanolide glycosides, and this number is consistent from capsule to capsule. This standardization is precisely what you're paying for: not just a quantity of powder, but a measured and consistent quantity of active plant substance. With bulk ashwagandha powders without a percentage, you never know for sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Difference Between Shoden and KSM-66\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith ashwagandha, you often encounter two names: Shoden and KSM-66. Both are standardized extracts with patented raw materials, but they differ in two ways. KSM-66 is extracted only from the root and is around 5% withanolides. Shoden uses both the root and leaf of the plant, thus achieving 35%. The leaf adds withanolides not found in a root-only extract, explaining the difference in percentage. In practice, this means: with a common 5% extract, people often take 600 mg or more per day, while with this concentrated Shoden extract, 300 mg in a single capsule is sufficient. Which form suits you depends on your own preference, and whether you prefer a root-only extract or a root and leaf extract. Both names are registered raw materials with their own manufacturing process, so it's not just a label on the packaging but a real difference in source and concentration. Those who pay attention to the daily dose will therefore get a lower value with Shoden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and Made in Germany\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), so this product is vegan. It contains no unnecessary excipients: only the Shoden extract and the capsule itself. No fillers, no colorings or flavorings. The raw material comes from a fixed supplier, and production takes place in Germany, where each batch is checked for purity and withanolide content. This ensures the content remains identical from capsule to capsule. And since one capsule a day is sufficient, a jar of 60 lasts two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, with these ashwagandha capsules, you are getting a concentrated form of Withania somnifera, with a fixed withanolide content per capsule and a low dose of one capsule per day.

Berberine Complex by German Elite Nutrition combines 500 mg of berberine HCl per serving with five plant extracts and the trace element chromium. It is intended for people who wish to supplement their diet thoughtfully around meals and is part of an active and conscious lifestyle. A jar contains 120 vegan capsules, equivalent to 30 daily servings. As the capsule is vegetable-based, the formula is also suitable for people who prefer to avoid animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat berberine is and where it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerberine is a yellow-colored alkaloid, a natural plant substance found in the root and bark of various plants. This vibrant yellow color is characteristic of the substance and is present in the capsule's contents. In this supplement, it comes from Chinese goldthread (Berberis aristata), a shrub that traditionally grows in South Asia. The extract is standardized to 98% berberine HCl, meaning almost all of the raw material consists of the active plant substance. This is one of the purest forms available on the market, as many cheaper products fall below this percentage. Thanks to this standardization, you receive the same amount with each serving, instead of a variable content. In your cells, berberine acts on an enzyme that plays a role in metabolism, the same type of process that is also triggered by physical exercise. In summary, it affects how your body manages energy. We deliberately do not attribute any health effects to it, as there are currently no approved European claims for berberine. What we do, however, is explain what it is and where it comes from, so you can make your own choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe five plant extracts alongside berberine\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl conjugaison--\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to berberine, each serving contains five standardized plant extracts, each with a fixed characteristic plant substance content. Banaba provides 1% corosolic acid, bitter melon 10% charantin, and olive leaf 20% oleuropein. Added to these are cinnamon and black pepper, with the pepper extract containing 95% piperine. This piperine is a substance found in many formulas of this type. The difference with a simple plant blend lies in this standardization: as each extract is set to a fixed percentage, you know exactly what quantities you are receiving, instead of an unknown dose. Banaba comes from the Lagerstroemia speciosa plant, bitter melon is the fruit found in Asian cuisine, and olive leaf is exactly what its name indicates. Most people know cinnamon as a cooking spice, but here it is present as a concentrated extract in the formula. Together, they form the plant-based foundation of this berberine formula. We also describe these extracts without health claims, for the same reason as berberine itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium and your metabolism\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChromium is the only component in this formula for which European legislation allows health claims. Chromium contributes to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels and chromium contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, meaning how your body processes carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Each 2-capsule serving provides 80 micrograms of chromium in the form of chromium picolinate, which is 200% of the reference intake. Thus, in addition to plant extracts, the formula also contains a mineral with recognized functions. Chromium picolinate is a commonly used form that your body absorbs well. As the plant extracts have no recognized claims, chromium is the component to which we can associate a concrete function, while the rest of the formula constitutes the plant-based foundation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a GDA formula actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOnline, you often encounter berberine as a component of a so-called GDA formula. GDA stands for glucose disposal agent, a term from the fitness world for products taken around a carbohydrate-rich meal. Many wonder if there is anything special about this: it primarily describes the timing of intake and the type of product, not a proven effect. In practice, users take the capsules shortly before a significant meal, and many take a break after a period of daily use before resuming. With 500 mg of berberine per serving and over 1100 mg of active substances in total per 2 capsules, this is one of the most complete berberine supplements you will find. The capsule itself is vegetable-based (HPMC), making the whole suitable for vegans, and no gluten, lactose, or superfluous additives have been used. You thus get a clear berberine formula where you see precisely what it contains and in what quantities, making it a clear choice within a thoughtful mealtime routine.

The five extracts are Arjuna bark extract (10:1, standardized to 0.5% arjunolic acid), citrus bergamot peel extract (5:1, 30% polyphenols), horse chestnut seed extract (10:1, 20% aescin), olive leaf extract (20:1, 40% oleuropein), and Japanese knotweed root extract (100:1, 98% trans-resveratrol). Each of these substances is a plant extract with its own origin and composition. Arjuna comes from the bark of Terminalia arjuna, a tree from India. Bergamot is the peel of a citrus fruit from southern Italy. Horse chestnut provides the saponin aescin, and olive leaf contains the plant substance oleuropein. What many don't know: the percentages behind each extract primarily indicate the standardization, i.e., the guaranteed amount of the characteristic plant substance. Coenzyme Q10 is a fat-soluble substance that your body also produces itself. Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine, is a water-soluble vitamin normally obtained from grains, legumes, and meat, and is added here in the form of thiamine hydrochloride.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat an extraction ratio like 10:1 means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a 10:1 extract, ten times more plant material was used than what results in extract. For 1000 mg of 10:1 Arjuna extract, approximately 10,000 mg of bark were processed. This ratio, combined with the standardization percentage, makes it easier to compare formulas with each other. In short: two containers with the same number of milligrams of extract can still differ because one is standardized to a higher percentage of active substance than the other. In Heart Essentials, these figures are listed separately on the label, per ingredient. This way, you see exactly how much arjunolic acid, polyphenols, aescin, oleuropein, and trans-resveratrol you consume per daily dose, without having to calculate it yourself. For those who use botanical formulas for months on end, this transparency is valuable, as you then want a consistent composition from one container to the next. When comparing botanical formulas, therefore, do not just look at the number of milligrams, but also at the extraction ratio and the percentage of active substance, because these two figures combined determine what your capsule actually contains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin B1 in this formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to plant extracts and coenzyme Q10, each daily dose contains 1.1 mg of vitamin B1, in the form of thiamine hydrochloride. This represents 100% of the reference intake. Vitamin B1 is one of the few substances in this formula for which officially authorized claims exist. Thiamine contributes to the normal function of the heart. Thiamine contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Furthermore, thiamine contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. These claims apply to the vitamin B1 in the product, not to the plant extracts. For the botanical ingredients in this formula, we cannot currently mention any actions, as their evaluation in the EU is still ongoing. This is why you only read above and in the frequently asked questions what these extracts are and how they are standardized.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage, capsule, and composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe daily dose is 2 times 2 capsules, preferably with a meal containing some fat. Coenzyme Q10 and some plant substances are fat-soluble, so taking them with a meal is suitable. One container contains 120 capsules, which is 30 daily doses. The capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), making Heart Essentials suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It contains no gluten, no lactose, and no GMOs. Many people wonder why four capsules a day are necessary. This is because the formula combines eight ingredients in useful quantities; by distributing the intake over four capsules, each capsule remains manageable, and you can spread out the intake. This gives you a clear formula in which you see exactly, per ingredient, what it contains. Store the container dry and tightly closed, and keep it out of reach of children. If you are taking anticoagulants or other medications, or if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, consult a doctor before starting this formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, Heart Essentials is a broad combination of five standardized plant extracts, coenzyme Q10, and vitamin B1, in 120 vegan capsules.

Per gram, it provides 90 mg of nitrate. The powder is tasteless and dissolves completely, making it easy for athletes to incorporate into their pre-workout or a simple glass of water. One jar contains 75 grams, enough for 75 doses. It is a sports nutrition product, intended to supplement your nitrate intake around your workouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat OxyStorm® is and how it compares to beetroot powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOxyStorm® is the brand name of a nitrate-rich amaranth extract, developed by Arjuna Natural in India. Amaranthus dubius is naturally one of the richest plant sources of nitrate available. Thanks to water-based extraction, the nitrate is concentrated to 9% of the extract's weight. For comparison: red beetroot powder typically contains 1 to 2% nitrate, and many beetroot juices are even lower. Per gram, OxyStorm® therefore provides significantly more nitrate than the same amount of a beetroot-based product. Another difference lies in its composition: the extract has a neutral pH and does not contain oxalates, substances naturally present in beetroot. For athletes who want to precisely dose their nitrate intake without drinking liters of beetroot juice, this is a practical advantage. Amaranth is also consumed as a pseudo-grain, but for OxyStorm® it is solely the leaf, which contains the most nitrate. Since the amount of nitrate per gram is fixed, you know exactly what you are consuming with each scoop, which varies much more with fresh leaves or juice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom nitrate to nitric oxide in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDietary nitrate follows a well-known pathway in your body. In the mouth and digestive tract, bacteria and enzymes convert nitrate (NO3) into nitrite (NO2). Nitrite is then converted into nitric oxide (NO), a small signaling molecule involved in relaxing the walls of blood vessels. This conversion pathway is widely described in scientific literature and explains why nitrate receives so much attention in the sports world. This is exactly the same form of nitrate that is naturally present in leafy vegetables like spinach and arugula. OxyStorm® provides these plant nitrates in a concentrated, tasteless powder form, so you determine the amount you consume yourself. In the sports world, this pathway is called the nitrate-nitrite-nitric oxide pathway. This is the same reason why a serving of red beetroot or a handful of spinach is sometimes mentioned around exercise, except that leafy vegetables contain a much lower and more variable amount of nitrate than a standardized extract. Nitrate is therefore not an exotic substance, but a natural component of your diet, simply present in a much more concentrated form in this amaranth extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasteless powder for your pre-workout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEase of use comes from its neutral taste. OxyStorm® has no beetroot taste, no color, and no sugar, making it possible to mix it into almost any workout drink without it being noticeable. Dissolve 1 gram in 200 to 300 ml of water or add it to your pre-workout, mix for a moment, and it's ready. No heat or shaker needed. Many athletes take their nitrate 30 to 60 minutes before exercise, as the conversion of nitrate to nitrite and then to nitric oxide takes time. This way, you calmly integrate it as a fixed part of your warm-up routine before a training session or competition. Endurance athletes, team sports athletes, and strength athletes each use nitrate in their own way, from a fixed daily dose to taking it just before a difficult session. Since the powder has no distinct taste, it does not interfere with your usual pre-workout mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e75 grams per jar: dose with the scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jar comes with a scoop that allows you to precisely measure 1 gram, the recommended daily amount. With 75 grams per jar, you have enough for 75 doses, which is about two and a half months of daily use. The powder is entirely plant-based, extracted from amaranth leaves, and therefore suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is gluten-free and lactose-free. In short: a compact, tasteless source of nitrate that you can easily integrate into your existing routine, whether you are running, cycling, or weightlifting. Store the jar in a dry, well-sealed place; the powder will remain usable for a long time. And since one dose is only 1 gram, a 75-gram jar lasts a long time without taking up much space in your cupboard.

Cordyceps has been known for centuries in traditional Chinese herbalism and provides 1000 mg of extract per daily dose. Reishi, sometimes called the mushroom of immortality, accounts for 500 mg. It also contains shiitake, hericium (also known as lion's mane), oyster mushroom, and maitake. Each extract is standardized for polysaccharides, the long chains of sugars that mushrooms are naturally rich in. For example, 10:1 cordyceps extract provides 400 mg of polysaccharides per daily dose, and 6:1 reishi extract provides another 200 mg. For hericium, the label indicates 120 mg of polysaccharides in addition to 20 mg of beta-glucans. Good to know: a 30:1 extract means that thirty parts of fresh mushroom have been concentrated into one part of powder. The higher this ratio, the more concentrated the extract. Together, the six mushroom extracts provide over one thousand milligrams of polysaccharides per daily dose, which is the focus of this type of formula. Shiitake, oyster mushroom, and maitake each contribute another 120 to 160 mg of polysaccharides per daily dose, so the contribution does not come from just one or two species. Since each extract is listed separately on the label, you can see precisely which mushroom contributes what, instead of a vague addition under the heading \"mushroom blend.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Betaine and Taurine Add\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes this mushroom complex different from an ordinary mushroom complex is the addition of betaine and taurine. Betaine, also called TMG or trimethylglycine, is largely present in the formula with 2000 mg per daily dose. It is a substance naturally found in your body and also found, for example, in beetroot and wheat bran. In addition, the formula contains 1000 mg of L-taurine, an amino acid naturally present in your body and often found in sports and energy formulas. These two substances are not mushroom extracts, but GEN deliberately added them to the complex. Thus, everything the manufacturer wanted to combine is in one capsule, rather than in separate jars on your countertop. Betaine is often obtained in the food industry from sugar beet, while taurine is produced by synthesis or fermentation. Both are present here in fixed quantities, so you have the same intake every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAstraGin as an Addition to the Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's where AstraGin comes in. AstraGin is a patented branded raw material, composed of extracts of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus. It is found in more and more modern sports and wellness formulas. In this mushroom extract-rich product, there are 25 mg of AstraGin per daily dose. Many people wonder why betaine and taurine are in a mushroom formula. In short: GEN has combined mushrooms with substances that you normally find in sports nutrition, so you only need one jar. It is a modern take on the classic mushroom supplement, where the six species remain the starting point and the rest is a complement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegetable Capsules Without Unnecessary Additions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl Privilege\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is vegetable and made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose.

The active coloring agent it contains is called \u003cstrong\u003ecurcumin\u003c\/strong\u003e, and that's precisely what this supplement contains. Not in ordinary powder form, but as NovaSOL, a liquid form that your body absorbs more easily. Two capsules a day together provide 1000 mg of NovaSOL Curcumin. German Elite Nutrition deliberately chooses this form because curcumin is inherently a substance that is difficult to absorb. And this absorption story is really the core of this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy curcumin is normally poorly absorbed\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin has an inconvenient property: it barely dissolves in water. If you take it as a powder, most of it passes through your intestines unused and leaves your body before anything happens. In addition, your liver breaks down curcumin at lightning speed. Result: from a good dose of turmeric powder, only a fraction reaches your bloodstream. Manufacturers have been trying for years to circumvent this problem. The best-known trick is to add black pepper (piperine), which slows down the breakdown a bit. NovaSOL approaches the problem from another angle, namely that of solubility itself. And that's an important difference, because it's precisely this poor water solubility that explains why curcumin has such difficulty reaching your bloodstream.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat NovaSOL does to absorption\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNovaSOL is a patented technique in which curcumin is encapsulated in micelles. A micelle is a tiny, microscopic sphere with a fatty side on the inside and a water side on the outside. Because this exterior is water-soluble, the curcumin effortlessly mixes with the watery contents of your intestines and passes through the intestinal wall much more easily. In short: your body no longer has to solve the absorption problem itself, because it's already done before the capsule reaches your stomach. In studies, the absorption of micellar curcumin is measured many times higher than that of standard curcumin powder. You can see a micelle as a tiny transport bubble that guides the fatty curcumin through the watery environment of your intestines. For comparison: black pepper increases absorption to a much lesser extent, and liposomal forms usually don't even come close to what a micellar formula achieves. This difference in absorption technique is precisely what distinguishes NovaSOL from other curcumin supplements. It is precisely for this reason that this type of formula can make do with a relatively small amount of curcuminoids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1000 mg formula, 60 mg curcuminoids\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn the label, you see two figures that are easily confused. The 1000 mg refers to the total amount of NovaSOL Curcumin per daily dose, including the carrier substance that forms the micelles. The 60 mg corresponds to the amount of pure curcuminoids it contains, the actual active substance. Do not compare this figure one-to-one with a highly dosed standard extract of, for example, 95 percent. What many people don't realize is that thanks to the much higher absorption of the micellar form, such a small amount of curcumin reaches your bloodstream more easily than a large dose of powder which, on paper, seems more impressive. So it's not about what's in the capsule, but what you actually absorb from it. A high number on the packaging says nothing about how much ultimately ends up in your bloodstream. With poorly absorbed forms, a large part can simply leave your body unused. With the micellar form, it's different, because the curcumin reaches your intestines already in an absorbable form. Thus, you get more from 60 mg of curcuminoids than you would from multiple amounts of poorly absorbed powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and laboratory-tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules are plant-based, making them suitable if you eat vegan or vegetarian. They contain no lactose, gluten, artificial flavors, or preservatives. Each batch is laboratory-tested for purity, which, with a patented raw material like NovaSOL, is standard practice. This way, you know precisely what you're ingesting and the composition is verifiable. This is also part of a transparent curcumin supplement. For those who use curcumin daily, this certainty about origin and purity is just as important as the dosage itself. You want to know that you are receiving the same controlled quality every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, this product is based on a simple fact: curcumin is interesting but difficult to absorb, and NovaSOL precisely solves this problem.

It is intended for people who want to thoughtfully supplement their diet with a comprehensive blend of plant-based raw materials. One pot contains 180 vegan capsules, which is 30 daily doses of six capsules. Since all capsules are plant-based, the product is also suitable for a vegan lifestyle. Thus, instead of several separate pots, you get a series of plant extracts combined into a fixed daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePlant sterols from Lipophytol\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core of this formula is plant sterols, also called phytosterols. These are plant substances whose structure resembles that of cholesterol and are naturally present in nuts, seeds, and vegetable oils. In a normal diet, they are usually present in small amounts, so a supplement provides a fixed and higher dose. In this product, they come from Lipophytol, a standardized source based on pine extract. A daily dose of six capsules provides 900 mg of plant sterols. This is important because plant sterols contribute to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels. This beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of at least 0.8 grams of plant sterols, and with 0.9 grams, this formula is just above that. This is the only component of this product for which European legislation allows a health claim. We describe the other plant extracts without claims, as there are currently no approved European texts about them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSix plant extracts around sterols\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn addition to plant sterols, each daily dose contains a series of standardized extracts. Citrus bergamot (1000 mg) is a citrus fruit native to southern Italy and provides 300 mg of polyphenols. Black garlic (700 mg) is obtained by fermenting ordinary garlic, resulting in a milder and better-tolerated raw material, without the pungent smell of garlic. Artichoke (600 mg) is a natural source of cynarin, at a rate of 30 mg per day. There is also myo-inositol (500 mg), a substance used in many modern formulas, and grape seed extract (300 mg) which provides 210 mg of OPCs, a group of polyphenols from the seed. Myo-inositol is related to sugars and present in many foods. Grape seed extract is obtained from the seeds that remain during wine production. Each extract is standardized, so you know exactly what concentrations you are getting instead of a vague mix of plants. Citrus bergamot owes its notoriety to its high polyphenol content, while OPCs from grape seeds belong to the same family of plant substances. Black garlic is appreciated because the fermentation process removes the pungent taste, and many people know artichoke mainly as a vegetable. These extracts are more often found in formulas focused on a thoughtful lifestyle, but rarely all combined in a single product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAstraGin for absorption\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula is completed by AstraGin, a patented complex based on extracts of Panax notoginseng and Astragalus membranaceus. Both plants have been used for a long time in Asian herbal traditions. The name AstraGin is a brand designating this complex, and not a plant species in itself. There are 25 mg per daily dose. AstraGin is used in many modern supplements and is intended to be part of the matrix around plant extracts. This ingredient, too, we describe without a health claim. Together, the seven active substances form a broad plant matrix, which is not often found in this combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsule and a fixed daily rhythm\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe capsules are plant-based (HPMC), making the product suitable for a vegan lifestyle. You take three capsules in the morning and three in the evening, each time with a meal and sufficient water. By spreading the intake, you get the plant sterols at two times, which corresponds to your way of eating throughout the day. Many people wonder how many plant sterols they need per day: this threshold of 0.8 grams is reached with the full daily dose of six capsules, spread over two times. In summary, Cholesterol Control is a comprehensive plant-based formula in which plant sterols play the main role, supplemented by bergamot, artichoke, black garlic, grape seed, myo-inositol, and AstraGin, in a convenient vegan capsule. As the daily dose is spread over two times, the product easily integrates into a fixed morning and evening ritual around meals.

The plant grows high in the Andes, on plateaus around four thousand meters, where conditions are harsh and few other crops survive. It is precisely this tuberous root that is harvested, sun-dried, and then processed. The dried root naturally contains carbohydrates, proteins, amino acids, fibers, and minerals. In Peru, maca has been part of the daily diet for generations, where the root is cooked, dried, or ground into flour. Indigenous people of the highlands used maca long before the plant became known worldwide. Good to know: here you receive the entire root, in extract form, and not an isolated substance that would have been extracted from it. Maca root comes in different colors, from yellow to red and black, depending on the variety that grows on the highlands. For this extract, dried root is used, then concentrated in a ten-to-one ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 10:1 extract, what it means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn a 10:1 extract, ten times more root is used than the amount of extract obtained. For every 600 mg of extract in a capsule, approximately 6000 mg of dried maca root has therefore been processed. The difference from bulk maca powder? You get the root in a compact and concentrated form, without having to swallow spoonfuls of powder and without the earthy taste. The formula has been deliberately kept simple: only maca extract and a plant-based capsule shell, nothing else. No colors, no flavors, and no preservatives. Each batch is independently tested for purity, heavy metals, and microbiological quality, so that the content of the capsule matches what is indicated on the label. Such independent control is important for a concentrated plant extract, as the root grows at high altitude and naturally absorbs minerals from the soil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaca in your day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaca is used by men and women, and fits into all sorts of routines. As maca is originally a food plant, it is easily taken at a fixed time, like regular food. Many people take the capsules spread throughout the day. A practical tip: preferably take maca earlier in the day rather than just before bedtime. The taste of the root is earthy and slightly nutty, but in capsule form, you perceive nothing of it. If you want to know how much root you are absorbing, do a simple calculation: with the full daily portion you reach 3000 mg of extract, which is equivalent to approximately 30,000 mg of root equivalent. This way you maintain control over the quantity that suits you. Some people gradually increase the amount and start with one or two capsules a day, to see how the root fits into their routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA clean and vegan formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of vegetable cellulose (HPMC), which makes Maca Extreme suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The capsule contains only the maca extract and this vegetable wall. As it contains no fillers, anti-caking agents, or other additions, you know exactly what you are absorbing with each capsule: a 10:1 extract of Lepidium meyenii and nothing else. Since no flavor or color is added, the product remains close to the raw root as it is consumed in Peru. A jar contains 365 capsules. With the full daily portion of five capsules, one jar lasts a little over two months; if you take less, one jar lasts proportionally longer. This way you determine the pace yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, with Maca Extreme you get the whole maca root in the form of a concentrated 10:1 extract, directly from the Peruvian Andes. A simple and vegan formula with 600 mg of extract per capsule, which allows you to easily give maca a fixed place in your day. For those looking for the famous root from the highlands in high concentration and with a long-lasting supply, this is a clear choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386121134308,"sku":"gen-007","price":22.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/MacaExtremeGEN1.jpg?v=1783855530"},{"product_id":"gen-coupe-faim-naturel-270-gelules","title":"Natural Appetite Suppressant | 270 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNatural Appetite Suppressant from German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003eappetite suppressant\u003c\/strong\u003e from German Elite Nutrition is a plant-based supplement centered on glucomannan, a soluble fiber derived from the konjac root. The formula is complemented by green tea extract, Ceylon cinnamon, white willow bark, and chromium. The product is intended for individuals who consciously monitor their diet and portion sizes, and are looking for a fiber-rich supplement in capsule form to aid them. The base is deliberately kept plant-based, with fiber as the main active ingredient and a few targeted extracts. One jar contains 270 capsules, enough for approximately one month depending on the daily dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Glucomannan is and How it Acts in Water\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlucomannan is a soluble dietary fiber extracted from the tuber of the konjac plant (Amorphophallus konjac), a crop primarily grown in Asia. What makes this fiber so special? Its ability to bind water. As soon as glucomannan comes into contact with liquid, it swells significantly and forms a thick, gelatinous mass in the stomach. This is why you should always take the capsules with a generous amount of water. With a daily dose of nine capsules, this formula provides 4500 mg of konjac extract, including 4275 mg of pure glucomannan fiber. This is a concentrated amount of fiber from a single plant source. For comparison: to obtain the same amount of soluble fiber from a regular diet, one would have to eat a significant amount of vegetables and legumes. Many people wonder what exactly glucomannan is. In short: it is a plant fiber that your body does not digest, but which retains a lot of liquid along the way. You may know the konjac plant without realizing it. Indeed, it is from the same root that shirataki noodles are made, those translucent noodles from Asian cuisine that consist almost entirely of this fiber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGreen Tea Extract, Ceylon Cinnamon, and White Willow Bark\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the fiber base, this appetite suppressant contains three plant extracts, each with its own history. Green tea extract, at 1125 mg per daily dose, is naturally rich in polyphenols. The best known of these is EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate, a plant compound characteristic of the leaves of the Camellia sinensis tea plant). Ceylon cinnamon comes from the true cinnamon tree of Sri Lanka. It is not the same as the cheaper cassia cinnamon often found in supermarkets, and is known for its milder aromatic profile. White willow bark, or Salix alba, naturally contains salicin, the plant substance to which willow owes part of its traditional notoriety. These three plants give the formula its plant character and have long been used in various traditions. The difference from isolated plant powders lies in the form: these are extracts, so the plant substances are present in a more concentrated form than in the raw plant. Green tea is made from unprocessed and unfermented tea leaves, which largely preserves the polyphenols. This is precisely the difference from black tea, which undergoes a fermentation process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium as a Trace Element in the Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eChromium is also added to the formula, in the form of chromium picolinate. Chromium is a trace element that your body obtains from food only in tiny quantities, for example from whole grains, nuts, meat, and broccoli. In these capsules, it serves as a complement alongside the plant extracts. Trace elements like chromium are present in very small amounts in our daily diet, and this is precisely why manufacturers sometimes add them to a supplement. Good to know: the manufacturer does not individually list the exact amount of chromium, Ceylon cinnamon, and white willow bark on the label. Therefore, in the table below, you will only find the dosages that German Elite Nutrition explicitly specifies, namely konjac extract with glucomannan and green tea extract. These two elements together form the clear core of this product, while the other ingredients complete the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan Capsules Without Superfluous Additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules themselves are made of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a plant-based alternative to gelatin found in many other capsules. This natural appetite suppressant is therefore suitable for vegans and vegetarians. German Elite Nutrition has deliberately kept the composition clean. It contains no magnesium stearate, no artificial colors or flavors, and no preservatives. The product is gluten-free and lactose-free and is manufactured in Germany according to the quality standards applicable there. What remains is a clear, plant-based fiber formula, with a few targeted botanical extracts. This way, you know precisely what you are taking: konjac fiber as a base, supplemented with green tea, cinnamon, willow bark, and a trace of chromium, all in a capsule that you simply swallow with a glass of water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386121494756,"sku":"gen-103","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/Eetlustremmer-270Capsules.jpg?v=1783855552"},{"product_id":"gen-invictus-gda-formule-glucose-120-gelules","title":"Invictus GDA (Glucose Formula) | 120 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eInvictus GDA by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInvictus GDA\u003c\/strong\u003e is a capsule supplement from German Elite Nutrition that combines five ingredients in what the manufacturer calls a Synergy Matrix. The formula was developed with professional sports coach Max Madsen and is aimed at athletes who strategically build their diet around carbohydrate-rich meals. GDA stands for Glucose Disposal Agent, a category of supplements used in the fitness world around carbohydrate-rich meals. In the bodybuilding world, these types of formulas have become a household name, often as part of a strictly planned dietary strategy. Below, you can read which five substances it contains and where they come from.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFive Ingredients in One Matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvictus GDA's formula is based on five components. Berberine HCL is the main substance, here from a 100:1 concentrated Berberis vulgaris extract containing 97% berberine. Per capsule, there are 250 mg of berberine, which is one of the highest berberine contents per capsule found in this type of formula. In addition, the formula contains prickly pear extract (Opuntia ficus-indica), Cinnulin PF (a patented cinnamon bark extract), R-alpha-lipoic acid in the form of a sodium salt, and gymnema sylvestre extract. The latter is standardized to 75% gymnemic acids, the characteristic plant substances of gymnema. What many don't know: for these plant substances, no approved EU claims are currently available, so we describe them only as a component and not according to their effect. Important to know: Invictus GDA does not contain chromium, whereas you do find this mineral in some comparable products. This is a deliberate choice in the composition and a point to pay attention to if you compare different GDA products with each other. This way, you know exactly what makes this product stand out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Berberine and Cinnamon Are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBerberine is a yellow plant substance naturally found in various plants, including barberry (Berberis). In this product, it comes from a highly concentrated extract. In short: 100 parts of the plant are concentrated into one part of extract, of which 97% is pure Berberine HCL. This is where cinnamon comes in. Cinnulin PF is a patented cinnamon bark extract, standardized for certain procyanidins, plant substances naturally present in cinnamon. The word patented here means that the manufacturer uses a fixed and registered preparation method, so that the composition is identical every time. This way, you know that each capsule contains the same amount of active parts, regardless of when or where the cinnamon was harvested. With an ordinary, non-standardized extract, this content can vary greatly from batch to batch. For a patented extract, you often pay a little more, but in return, you get this certainty about the composition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eR-alpha-lipoic Acid and Gymnema\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to berberine and cinnamon, Invictus GDA contains R-alpha-lipoic acid in the form of a sodium salt. Alpha-lipoic acid exists in two mirror-image forms, the R and S forms. The R form is the variant that your body also produces itself, and it is present in this product as a sodium salt, which makes the substance more stable. Note: alpha-lipoic acid is completely different from alpha-linolenic acid, an omega-3 fatty acid, despite the similar name. Finally, there is gymnema sylvestre, a climbing plant from India whose leaf has long been used in Ayurveda. The plant is known in Sanskrit as gurmar, which roughly means sugar destroyer, a name you often find with this ingredient. The extract is standardized to gymnemic acids. Together, these five substances form the matrix that the manufacturer has composed for this formula. Each of the five is present in a fixed amount per capsule, which you can find in the table further down this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFor the Athlete Who Plans Their Diet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInvictus GDA is intended for bodybuilders, fitness athletes, and athletes who consciously plan their meals and supplement regimen around their training. You take one capsule per day, unchewed, with sufficient water during a carbohydrate-rich meal. As a jar contains 120 capsules and you take one per day, a jar lasts four months, making it a clear daily supplement. The capsules are vegetable (HPMC), gelatin-free, and therefore suitable if you eat vegan. The raw materials are laboratory-controlled for purity, which, with patented ingredients like Cinnulin PF, is the usual course of action. For athletes who value control and consistency, this certainty about the origin is just as relevant as the ingredient list itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, Invictus GDA is a matrix formula with berberine, cinnamon, R-alpha-lipoic acid, prickly pear, and gymnema, developed with a coach and intended for athletes who strictly plan their diet.

Per daily dose of six capsules, you get 3040 mg of glucomannan, plus 200 mcg of chromium and extracts such as green tea, saffron, and griffonia. One pot contains 180 vegetable capsules, enough for thirty days. Below, you can read exactly what it contains and how to take the capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is glucomannan?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from the konjac plant root. The special characteristic of this fiber is a physical property: it absorbs a lot of water and therefore swells strongly in your stomach into a gelatinous mass. This is also the reason for the recommended intake. You take the capsules with plenty of water, one to two glasses, each time before a meal. And you never take them dry or just before bedtime. This is not a minor detail but a safety point: a swelling fiber must reach the stomach with enough liquid, otherwise it can get stuck in the esophagus. A daily dose of Crave Control provides 3040 mg of konjac fiber, divided into three servings of two capsules. Regarding what glucomannan does otherwise in your body, we deliberately make no claims here, as we respect the EU regulations on health claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium in the formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to fiber, the daily dose contains 200 mcg of chromium, in the form of chromium picolinate. This corresponds to 500% of the reference intake, so a generous dosage. Chromium is a trace element present in small quantities in your body and in food, much like zinc or selenium, for example. You find it naturally in small amounts in whole-grain products, nuts, and meat, among other things. In this formula, chromium is one of the eight active substances. Chromium picolinate is a common form in which chromium is found in supplements, and which the body absorbs reasonably well. We deliberately mention nothing more than the quantity and form, as here too we can only state what falls within EU regulations on claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe six plant extracts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrave Control is more than just glucomannan and chromium. The formula contains six plant extracts: fennel seed extract, green tea extract with 600 mg of EGCG, baobab fruit extract, Ceylon cinnamon extract, griffonia extract as a natural source of 5-HTP, and saffron extract under the Affron brand. These extracts each have a long tradition of use. Regarding their action, we can legally say little, as for botanical ingredients there are not yet approved claims. What we can mention are the label facts: saffron comes from Crocus sativus and provides 1.05 mg of Lepticrosalides per daily dose, griffonia naturally contains 100 mg of 5-HTP, and green tea extract is standardized to 600 mg of EGCG. Baobab and Ceylon cinnamon are incorporated as whole plant extracts, and fennel comes from fennel seed. Along with glucomannan and chromium, these six extracts form the eight components of the formula. This is precisely what distinguishes Crave Control from an isolated glucomannan powder: it combines the fiber with a series of plant extracts in an easy-to-take capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEight active substances and how to take them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn total, this formula contains eight active substances, totaling 5926 mg per daily dose. The capsule shell is vegetable (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), making Crave Control a vegan choice. One pot contains 180 capsules, enough for thirty days at six capsules per day, divided into three servings of two. Take each serving before a meal with one or two glasses of water. Pay attention to a few points. Green tea extract provides 600 mg of EGCG per daily dose, so do not take it on an empty stomach and do not use other products containing green tea on the same day. Griffonia is a natural source of 5-HTP, which means you should be careful if you are using antidepressants or other medications that influence serotonin metabolism. The product is not suitable for pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and people under 18 years of age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Crave Control combines glucomannan, chromium, and six plant extracts in a single capsule. Glucomannan fiber only swells well with sufficient water, so this intake recommendation is not incidental but central to how to use the product. Therefore, read the instructions for use and safety information carefully before starting, because precisely with glucomannan, green tea, and 5-HTP, use is associated with some clear points of attention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"German Elite Nutrition","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49386127687908,"sku":"gen-146","price":35.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0800\/9724\/7460\/files\/crave-control-final.png?v=1783855643"},{"product_id":"gen-fadogia-agrestis-extrait-10-1-180-gelules","title":"Fadogia Agrestis Extract 10:1 | 180 Capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eFadogia Agrestis Max by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you train with purpose and want to consciously choose the plant extracts you add to your routine? Then \u003cstrong\u003efadogia agrestis\u003c\/strong\u003e is a name you’ve undoubtedly come across. These capsules contain a concentrated 10:1 extract of the plant, supplemented with a little black pepper. They are intended for adult athletes who build their own stacks and like to know exactly what’s in their jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is fadogia agrestis?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFadogia agrestis is a shrub originally found in the dry, savanna regions of West Africa, notably in countries like Nigeria. In traditional herbal medicine there, the stem of the plant has long been used. In recent years, the plant has also become known far beyond Africa, especially in the world of sports supplements and among people who like to expand their training routine with plant extracts. What many don’t realize: scientific research on fadogia in humans is truly still in its early stages. Most available data comes from animal studies, and large human studies are still lacking to date. That's why we describe here what the plant is and where it comes from, and not what it supposedly does. This also complies with European regulations on food supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does a 10:1 extract mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 10:1 designation indicates the concentration of the extract. For this powder, approximately ten kilograms of raw plant material were processed into one kilogram of extract. In short: you get the plant’s substances in a highly concentrated form, rather than as a raw, unprocessed plant. A daily dose of three capsules provides 1500 mg of this fadogia agrestis extract. This product is therefore clearly at the higher end compared to many other fadogia products in the Netherlands, which often hover around 500 to 1000 mg per day. Good to know: there is currently no officially established or scientifically substantiated dose for fadogia. Each manufacturer therefore chooses an amount themselves, which means products can vary widely. When comparing fadogia agrestis capsules, it's therefore helpful not to just look at the milligram count, but also the extraction ratio. A lower-concentration product might appear to have the same weight on paper, but contain fewer plant substances. For this product, the 10:1 ratio is clearly stated on the label, so you know exactly what you’re getting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is there black pepper extract?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the plant extract, each daily dose contains 10 mg of black pepper extract, including 9.5 mg of piperine. Piperine is the pungent substance that gives pepper its characteristic flavor. In supplements, it is often added because it can influence the absorption of other plant substances in the intestine. This is where piperine comes in: it is found in many compound formulas precisely because plant extracts are not always easy to absorb by nature. It is not a primary active substance, but a known adjuvant found in many herbal supplements. The rest of the composition has been intentionally kept simple. There are no colorings, flavorings, or unnecessary fillers. For those who want a short and clear ingredient list, this is therefore a good choice. On the label, you will find exactly what each daily dose contains, down to the milligram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this fadogia supplement for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePeople often wonder if fadogia agrestis is suitable for everyone. The honest answer is no: this product is intended for healthy adult athletes and not for children, pregnant, or breastfeeding women. So, read the safety section carefully before you start. The capsule itself is plant-based (made of HPMC), making the product suitable for vegans and vegetarians. It is manufactured in Europe under strict quality control, which for many buyers is a reason to choose an extract produced in Europe rather than from an unknown source. Buying fadogia agrestis is typically done as a supplement within a broader training supplementation plan, alongside, for example, creatine, amino acids, or a pre-workout. Many build such a stack step by step and add fadogia as an additional plant component. Since it’s a capsule, taking it is simple: no powder to weigh, no shaker needed, just take it with a glass of water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Fadogia Agrestis Max offers a highly concentrated 10:1 extract in a vegan capsule, with black pepper for a complete formula.

Each daily serving of six capsules provides 500 mg of choline bitartrate, which is approximately 205 mg of choline. To be able to make the claim, 82.5 mg of choline per day is needed, so this product is well above that. Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function. Furthermore, choline contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism and normal lipid metabolism. Choline was only later recognized as a full-fledged nutrient, but it plays a role in many basic processes in the body. It is a water-soluble substance, related to vitamins, which your body partly produces itself and otherwise obtains from food, such as eggs, liver, and legumes. As the daily intake from food is rather low for many people, some opt for a supplement. In Liver Essentials, choline is present in a fixed and generous dosage per daily serving, combined with plant extracts. For those looking for a liver formula with a recognized nutritional claim, choline is therefore the anchor point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEleven ingredients in a thoughtful matrix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to choline, Liver Essentials contains a series of plant extracts, each standardized to a characteristic component. These include milk thistle extract with 80 percent silymarin, the component that gives milk thistle its reputation, and artichoke extract with cynarin. You also find schisandra extract with schisandrin, dandelion root extract, desmodium with vitexin, ginger with gingerol, and sophora japonica with rutin. In terms of amino acids, it contains N-acetyl-L-cysteine, a stable form of the amino acid cysteine, as well as indole-3-carbinol, a substance naturally found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower, but in much smaller quantities than the 150 mg present here per daily serving. By using all these components in standardized form, the proportions remain consistent from batch to batch. Each component is therefore integrated with a fixed percentage of active substance, rather than a raw and variable extract quality. This ensures that every jar has the same composition, right down to its small components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack pepper as a bio-enhancer\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA small but intentionally added element is black pepper extract with 95 percent piperine. Piperine is known as a bio-enhancer: a substance that can influence the absorption of other components in the intestine. This is why it is found in many complex formulas, usually in small quantities like the 10 mg per daily serving here. In itself, such a small dose of piperine adds little weight to the formula, but it is not there by chance. This is a detail that shows that the composition has been carefully considered, rather than simply bringing together separate extracts. The rest of the formula is built around this idea: a broad matrix in which choline is the nutrient with a claim and the plants determine the volume. The focus thus remains on the nutrient with a claim, while the plant extracts form the basis of the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules and daily use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, a plant-based material. Liver Essentials is therefore suitable for vegans. No artificial colors or unnecessary fillers have been added; the capsule is filled with the active matrix itself. The daily intake is six capsules, to be taken with sufficient water, spread throughout the day or all at once. With 180 capsules per jar, one box lasts exactly one month. Six capsules may seem like a lot, but this is because the formula combines eleven ingredients in a generous total dosage of 4560 mg per day; to compress this into fewer capsules, the doses would have to be reduced. Those who prefer to take fewer capsules at a time can divide the six units over two or three moments; the total daily dose remains the same. Liver Essentials thus fits as a fixed daily routine into a varied diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary, Liver Essentials is a complete complex built around choline, supplemented by eleven standardized plant and amino acid-based components.

This \u003cstrong\u003eshilajit\u003c\/strong\u003e formula combines shilajit with five other plant extracts: triphala, tulsi, ginseng, schisandra, and black pepper. With a daily dose of six capsules, you consume 3010 mg of plant extracts. Intended for busy adults who want to consciously add plant extracts to their routine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat is shilajit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eShilajit is a natural substance that forms over a long period from plant remains in the mountains, especially in the Himalayas. It has been harvested and used there for centuries. It is rich in fulvic acid and humic acid, two types of organic acids. This product contains 1000 mg of shilajit extract per daily dose, of which 500 mg is fulvic acid and 120 mg is humic acid. Modern extraction methods allow these substances to be placed in a standardized concentration in a capsule. As it is obtained from raw material and then purified, the composition remains comparable from batch to batch. What many people don't know: for shilajit and the other plants in this product, there are currently no approved European health claims. This is why we describe what the ingredients are and where they come from, without associating any action with them. Only claims officially listed in the European database can be mentioned, and there are none for these plants. This does not mean there is nothing to say about them, but that as a seller we adhere to strict rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe five other plant extracts\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBesides shilajit, the complex contains four plant extracts known from Ayurvedic and Asian traditions, plus black pepper. Triphala is a classic Ayurvedic combination of three fruits and provides 280 mg of tannins here. Tulsi, also called holy basil, is a plant traditionally widely used in India. For ginseng, it is Panax ginseng, the Asian species, with 20 mg of ginsenosides per daily dose. Schisandra is known as the five-flavor berry and provides 50 mg of schisandrin. Finally, it contains 10 mg of black pepper extract, with 9.5 mg of piperine. Piperine is added because it can influence the absorption of plant substances in the intestine, which is found in many compound formulas. The doses of each plant are clearly stated on the label, down to the milligram. This way you see exactly how much of each substance you absorb per daily dose and you don't have to guess. This makes it easier to compare with other shilajit products, which are often less transparent about their composition. You also see at a glance which plants you are already taking via other supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVegan, concentrated, and without fillers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe extracts in this complex are standardized, meaning that the amounts of active plant substances per capsule are fixed. The capsule itself is vegetable (HPMC), making the product suitable for vegans. It contains no artificial colors, flavors, magnesium stearate, or preservatives, and is gelatin-free, lactose-free, gluten-free, and GMO-free. It is produced in the EU under strict quality control. Buying shilajit as a separate product is possible, but many people choose a complex precisely because you combine several traditional extracts in a single capsule instead of stacking small jars. This not only saves space in the cupboard but also simplifies tracking multiple intake times. A single product is enough to consume these six extracts daily. A jar of 180 capsules is sufficient, at six per day, for thirty days, which is precisely one month.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho is this complex for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis complex is for busy adults: people who demand a lot from themselves at work, during training, or during intense periods and who want to consciously add plant extracts to their routine. This is not a product for children, pregnant women, or breastfeeding women. As it contains ginseng and several other plant extracts, it is advisable, if you are taking medication, to first consult your doctor or pharmacist. Otherwise, intake is simple: six capsules spread throughout the day, with water. You don't have to prepare or weigh anything as with a powder, which makes regularity easier. By spreading the six capsules over two or three times, you pleasantly distribute the intake throughout your day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn short: it is a broadly composed plant complex centered around shilajit, with five complementary extracts and piperine for a complete formula.

It's a dark, resinous natural substance found in high mountains, also known as mumijo. German Elite Nutrition processes it into capsules providing 2000 mg of extract per daily dose. Convenient for those who want to try this traditional substance without the hassle of sticky resin. On this page, you'll discover exactly what shilajit is, how it's made, and in what forms it can be found.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is shilajit?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShilajit forms over hundreds, sometimes thousands of years, in mountain ranges like the Himalayas, Altai, and Caucasus. Plant remains are very slowly compressed between rocks until an organo-mineral substance remains, seeping from cracks in the summer. This substance is rich in humic substances. The two best known are fulvic acid and humic acid. Fulvic acid is a small molecule that binds minerals and thus moves easily in water. Humic acid is its older brother and behaves differently in a liquid. In addition, mumijo naturally contains dozens of trace elements and substances called dibenzo-alpha-pyrones. In short: shilajit is not a single ingredient but a complete natural complex formed in the mountains. Many people wonder where it actually comes from. The answer, therefore, lies literally in the high mountain rock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 2000 mg and 10:1 mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label indicates a 10:1 extract. This means that the manufacturer concentrates ten kilos of raw material into one kilo of extract. So you get a concentrated form, not raw resin. This shilajit extract is also standardized to 50% fulvic acid and 12% humic acid. Standardizing means that each batch contains the same amount of these substances, instead of an estimate per jar. This is valuable because you encounter the most diverse figures in stores. One brand displays 20,000 mg on the front, another 250 mg. Such numbers mean little if you don't know how much fulvic acid is in them. That's why this percentage is more meaningful than the large number on the packaging. In scientific literature, about 500 mg of purified shilajit per day is often used. The 2000 mg here is well above that. More milligrams is not automatically better, but it makes the dosage easy to follow and compare. When comparing brands, therefore, primarily look at the percentage of fulvic acid and humic acid, not the largest number on the front. A lower total number with high standardization can provide more of these substances than an impressive number without a percentage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlack pepper and absorption\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c!--nl__\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe formula also contains black pepper extract, with 9.5 mg of piperine per daily dose. Piperine is the substance that gives black pepper its pungency. In the body, piperine inhibits certain intestinal enzymes that normally break down substances quickly. Manufacturers therefore often add it to plant extracts. It's a classic combination found in many traditional preparations. In addition, the capsule shell is plant-based, made of cellulose instead of gelatin, and contains a small amount of anti-caking agent to keep the powder free. The formula contains no other additives. The content thus remains close to the raw material itself, supplemented only by pepper.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapsules or resin, what's the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShilajit is roughly available in two forms. The classic form is resin, which you dose with a small spoon and dissolve in hot water. Pure, but sticky and quite bitter in taste. The capsule form here eliminates these hassles. You swallow four capsules with a little water and you're done. Each capsule is vegetable, so it's also suitable if you're vegan. For travel or at the office, it's much more practical than carrying around a jar of resin. A jar contains 180 capsules, enough for about a month and a half at four per day. If you want to take it gradually, you can start with a smaller amount and slowly increase to four. This keeps your routine simple and clear. Store the jar in a dry and cool place and close it tightly after use, as shilajit naturally attracts moisture. For many people, this fixed dosage in capsules is precisely the reason to choose this form rather than loose resin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith these mumijo capsules, you get a concentrated shilajit extract with a fixed amount of fulvic acid and humic acid, supplemented with black pepper.

It is a well-known name among strength athletes and fitness enthusiasts who are looking for a pure plant-based formula to add to their stack, without fillers or flavorings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is tribulus terrestris?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTribulus terrestris is a creeping plant, also known as bindii or puncture vine. It grows naturally in warm regions of Asia, Africa, and Southern Europe, often in dry, sandy soils. An extract is obtained from the fruit and leaves of the plant. The characteristic plant compounds it contains are called saponins: a group of glycosides naturally present in tribulus that give the plant a slightly bitter taste. In the traditional herbal medicine of India and China in particular, tribulus has been used for centuries. In modern sports nutrition, tribulus terrestris has become a staple in the test booster and herbal stack categories, often combined with other plant extracts. For tribulus, there are currently no authorized European health claims. We therefore describe the extract only as a plant substance, emphasizing its origin and composition, without attributing any effect to it. Many people wonder about its popularity. The answer lies primarily in its long tradition of use and the plant's place in herbal formulas for athletes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e95% saponins, what does that mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quality of a tribulus supplement is strongly linked to the saponin content of the extract. This content indicates what proportion of the extract consists of these characteristic plant compounds. For this product, it is 95%, making it one of the most concentrated variants on the market. Many cheaper products are around 40 to 60% saponins, sometimes less. If you convert it, a daily dose of 4500 mg of extract provides approximately 4275 mg of saponins. What many people don't know: the number behind the saponin content says more about the concentration than the number of milligrams of extract itself. A highly standardized extract means you get the same amount of active plant compounds with fewer capsules. The difference therefore lies in standardization, not just in dosage. Standardizing means that the manufacturer processes the extract so that each batch achieves the same saponin content. This way you know that with each jar you get the same concentration, instead of a content that varies depending on the harvest. For those who value a predictable product, this is an important distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure, without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe jar contains only tribulus terrestris extract in a vegetable capsule of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC). No magnesium stearate, no flavorings, colorings or preservatives, and no genetically modified raw materials. This choice is deliberate: many athletes want to know exactly what they are consuming and prefer not to pay for additions they are not looking for. As the capsule is of plant origin, the product fits into a vegan and vegetarian diet. It contains no caffeine or sugars, so you can take it at any time of day without it disturbing your sleep. In short: a simple plant-based formula where the extract is central and nothing else dominates.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow athletes use Tribulus Terrestris Max\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily dose is six capsules, for example spread over two moments of the day, each time with sufficient water. Many users take a portion at breakfast and a portion later in the day, although there is no fixed time. A jar contains 180 capsules and is therefore sufficient for thirty days. As it is an isolated plant extract, tribulus terrestris easily combines with other products in a herbal or sports stack, from maca to an all-in-one formula. Athletes who want to use tribulus terrestris for a longer period have, with a month's supply per jar, a practical basis and do not have to reorder constantly. Take it as a supplement alongside a varied diet and respect the indicated daily dose. If you are unsure whether this product is suitable for you, for example due to taking medication or a medical condition, consult your doctor or pharmacist first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is a highly standardized tribulus terrestris extract with 95% saponins, 750 mg per capsule and 4500 mg per day, without unnecessary additives.

This product is standardized to 5% withanolides, the group of active plant compounds, which corresponds to 15 mg of withanolides per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Standardization is Important\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor plant extracts, the number of milligrams doesn't say much without knowing how much active substance it contains. By standardizing to 5% withanolides, you know that each capsule contains a fixed amount of active plant compounds, regardless of the batch or season. This offers more certainty than unstandardized ashwagandha powder, whose content can vary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use Ashwagandha KSM-66\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTake 1 capsule daily with sufficient water, preferably with a meal. For ashwagandha, there are no approved EFSA claims, which is why we do not make any statements about its effect.

It's a formula based on two medicinal mushrooms with a long tradition in Chinese pharmacopoeia. Cordyceps has held a central place there for centuries. The Reishi extract in this product, standardized to 20% polysaccharides, contributes to natural defenses.* LUTO Supplements produces the capsules using plant-based ingredients, gluten-free and lactose-free. One pot contains 60 units, providing a 30-day supply at two capsules per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Cordyceps sinensis really is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCordyceps sinensis is a mushroom you don't simply encounter in the forest. In the wild, it grows at high altitudes on the Tibetan plateaus, as a parasite of caterpillar larvae. This may seem surprising, and it is. Wild cordyceps is so rare that supplements almost always use cultivated mycelium. This is the network of fungal filaments from which the mushroom develops. These filaments contain bioactive substances: polysaccharides, nucleoside-type compounds, and other fungal metabolites. What many people don't realize: the composition varies depending on the cultivation method and the extract. Therefore, not all Cordyceps sinensis capsules contain the same thing. This product uses Cordyceps sinensis MRL, a cultivated variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo mushrooms in one capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to cordyceps, this formula contains Reishi extract. Reishi, also known as Ganoderma lucidum, contributes to natural immune defenses.* This is why LUTO combines these two mushrooms: they share some common mechanisms of action related to immune regulation, but approach them from a different angle. The difference lies in the active substances. Cordyceps primarily provides nucleosides and specific polysaccharides. Reishi contains, in addition to polysaccharides, also triterpenes, even if this product only mentions polysaccharides. The dosage of Reishi, at 50 mg per two capsules, is moderate. The focus of this formula is clearly on Cordyceps sinensis, which plays the main role with 800 mg per daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe role of bamboo-derived silicon\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third ingredient is silicon, extracted from an 85% silica bamboo extract. Silicon is a trace element that your body uses in the formation of connective tissue. It does not act via receptors or rapid signals, but through structural integration into your tissues. Per daily dose, you receive 8 mg of silicon. This is a moderate amount. In the context of this Cordyceps sinensis supplement, silicon is more of a complementary ingredient than a central component. It is less directly aligned with the profile of the two mushrooms but still adds a mineral source to the formula.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow your body processes cordyceps\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder how cordyceps specifically works in the body. In short: the bioactive substances in Cordyceps sinensis intervene in cellular processes. They influence redox balance, which is the balance between free radicals and antioxidants in your cells. They also affect signaling pathways involved in the activation of immune cells. It is therefore not a stimulant like caffeine. Cordyceps acts more subtly, at a deeper cellular level. Absorption, however, depends on the raw material. A standardized extract with known marker compounds is generally easier to evaluate than an unspecified powder. This product mentions Cordyceps sinensis MRL without further extract specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCordyceps Plus from LUTO Supplements is a Dutch formula that brings together two traditional mushrooms in a plant-based capsule. The focus is on cordyceps as the main ingredient, supplemented by a small amount of Reishi and silicon. The capsules are vegan, gluten-free, and lactose-free.

Silymarin is a complex of flavonolignans; silybin is the most studied component. Artichoke's cynarin is a phenolic acid, while dandelion root contains inulin. These extract forms ensure consistent concentrations of active substances. If you're considering buying a Milk Thistle Complex as a digestive supplement, the combination is relevant: artichoke and dandelion naturally stimulate bile flow processes, while silymarin biochemically influences cell membrane integrity and protein synthesis in liver cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Silymarin, Cynarin, and Inulin Do in This Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Silybum marianum: supports liver health \/ contributes to liver protection \/ contributes to the liver's detoxification potential \/ helps protect the liver, which in turn maintains liver function and further promotes digestion and body purification.

Per daily dose of two soft capsules, you get 8 mg of astaxanthin, supplemented with vitamin C and vitamin E. These three substances each work in their own way in your body but complement each other well. We tell you more below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat astaxanthin is and where it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstaxanthin is a fat-soluble carotenoid. This is the same group of substances that makes carrots orange and tomatoes red. But astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis has a different profile than beta-carotene or lycopene. The difference lies in how it behaves in your cell membranes. Astaxanthin lodges in the lipid layer of cells and intervenes there in oxidative chain reactions. In short: it scavenges free radicals precisely where they can cause the most damage. For this, LUTO uses AstaReal, a Swedish branded extract renowned for its consistent purity and concentration. This is not the same as a generic algae extract. AstaReal is cultivated in a controlled manner, making the amount of astaxanthin predictable per batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy vitamin C and E are in the same soft capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: not all antioxidants work in the same place. Astaxanthin and vitamin E are fat-soluble. They mainly protect the lipid-rich parts of your cells, such as membranes. Vitamin C, on the other hand, is water-soluble and acts in the watery part of your cells. This makes the combination logical, not because more is always better, but because they cover different compartments. There is an additional layer to this cooperation. Vitamin C contributes to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E. This means that vitamin C ensures that vitamin E remains active longer. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. And vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. With astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, they form a triple line in your body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy astaxanthin soft capsules contain sunflower oil\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAstaxanthin is fat-soluble. If you take it as a dry powder in a regular capsule, your body absorbs less of it. This is where the soft capsule form comes in. Astaxanthin is dissolved in sunflower oil here, which supports absorption. You preferably take the soft capsules with a meal containing some fat, think of a drizzle of olive oil on your salad or half an avocado. This may seem like a detail, but for fat-soluble substances, it makes a noticeable difference. Moreover, the vitamin C in this formula also contributes to reducing fatigue and normal energy metabolism. These are pleasant side benefits for something you already take daily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 8 mg daily dose in perspective\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn clinical studies, doses of 4 to 20 mg of astaxanthin per day are used. Most studies work with 4 to 12 mg. With two soft capsules per day, you reach 8 mg of astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis, which is in the middle of the studied range. If you prefer a lower dose, you can also start with one soft capsule per day. This provides 4 mg of astaxanthin, 60 mg of vitamin C, and 10 mg of vitamin E. The product is gluten-free, lactose-free, and GMO-free. Production takes place in Europe according to ISO 9001 and HACCP standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula has been deliberately kept compact. Not a long list of twenty ingredients, but three substances that together form a coherent whole. Astaxanthin from Haematococcus pluvialis as the core, vitamin E as a fat-soluble partner, and vitamin C as a water-soluble complement that also helps regenerate vitamin E.

What many people don't know is that only the trans variant is the biologically relevant form studied in scientific research. The cis form appears, for example, when resveratrol is exposed to light or heat. LUTO Supplements uses pure trans-resveratrol, extracted from the roots and stems of Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum). This plant is a source of phytohormones due to the stilbene compound resveratrol.* Resveratrol contributes to cardiovascular health.* This makes this specific form interesting for people who want to supplement in a targeted way rather than randomly choosing any resveratrol product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow your body processes resveratrol\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn your cells, trans-resveratrol acts on several pathways at once. Among other things, it influences SIRT1 and AMPK, two proteins that play a role in your cellular energy management. In short: they affect the same processes that also become active during exercise and caloric restriction. Additionally, resveratrol acts as an active redox polyphenol, meaning it influences oxidative processes in your cells. However, there is a nuance. Your body breaks down resveratrol relatively quickly in the gut and liver. The free substance that actually reaches your bloodstream is only a fraction of what you ingest. That's why it's advisable to take the capsules with a meal, as this product also recommends.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA deliberately simple formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference from many other resveratrol supplements lies in what it does not contain. No artificial colors, no preservatives, no unnecessary fillers. The capsule shell is made of HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), a form of plant cellulose also found in many other vegan capsules. Otherwise, the formula only contains microcrystalline cellulose as a carrier and silicon dioxide to prevent clumping. That's it. For those who already combine several supplements, such a clean formula is pleasant. You know exactly what you are ingesting: trans-resveratrol capsules with no surprises.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e125 mg of resveratrol per capsule, is that enough?\u003c\/h3\u003e\nIn clinical research, doses range from 100 to 500 mg per day. At 125 mg per capsule, this product is at the lower end of that range. Taking one capsule a day provides a light maintenance dose. If you take two, you reach 250 mg, which is considered a common daily intake in many studies. This flexibility is convenient. You can decide for yourself whether to start low or take the full daily dose directly. With 60 capsules per container, at two per day, you have exactly one month's supply.\n\u003cp\u003eLUTO Supplements' trans-resveratrol is a no-frills supplement.

You're not alone. \u003cstrong\u003ePlantago ovata (psyllium fiber)\u003c\/strong\u003e is one of the best-known natural fiber sources in the world. LUTO Supplements offers this soluble fiber in vegetable capsules, so you don't have to mix a powder. Each jar contains 90 capsules, enough for 30 doses of 1200 mg of psyllium each.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow psyllium fiber works in your intestines\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlantago ovata is the seed husk of the psyllium plant. This husk largely consists of arabinoxylan, a mucilage capable of retaining a lot of water. As soon as the fiber comes into contact with the liquids in your intestines, it forms a soft gel. This gel increases the volume of the intestinal contents. Psyllium fiber thus contributes to regular transit and softer stools.* This makes it a gentle and natural way to increase your fiber intake. What many don't know: this same gelling property means psyllium can bind bile acids. Your liver then has to convert cholesterol into new bile acids, which means Plantago ovata (psyllium fiber) contributes to \u003cstrong\u003emaintaining normal cholesterol and blood lipid levels.\u003c\/strong\u003e* One condition remains important. Always drink plenty of water with the capsules. Without enough liquid, the fiber cannot do its job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCapsules or loose powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePsyllium (husk) is traditionally sold as a loose powder. You then mix it with water or yogurt. This works well, but not everyone likes the texture. Capsules are more convenient. No lumps, no taste, easy to take with you. But there's a downside. One capsule contains 400 mg of psyllium fiber. At the maximum dose of 6 capsules per day, you get 2400 mg, or 2.4 grams. In scientific studies, doses of 5 to 10 grams per day are generally used. LUTO capsules are therefore mainly suitable as a supplement to your daily fiber intake, and not as a substitute for all the fiber you need. See them as a practical base in addition to your vegetables, fruits, and whole grain products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat psyllium capsules contain and what they don't\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLUTO keeps the composition simple. The capsules contain Plantago ovata (psyllium fiber), microcrystalline cellulose as a filler, and a vegetable HPMC capsule shell. No artificial colors, no preservatives. The product is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, and free from genetically modified organisms. By the way, the calcium-bound fatty acids on the label are a common anti-caking agent in capsule production. Nothing special, but it explains why calcium appears on the ingredient list. It's a minimal amount that makes no notable contribution to your daily calcium intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to watch out for with psyllium\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePsyllium fiber is gentle, but your body needs to get used to it. Start slowly and gradually increase. Some people initially experience bloating or more gas. This usually subsides after a few days. Important: always take psyllium capsules with a large glass of water. Without enough liquid, the gel cannot form properly. And if you are taking medication, take the capsules at a different time. The gelling property of Plantago ovata can slow down the absorption of certain medications. Think of thyroid treatments or iron tablets. An hour's difference is often enough.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this psyllium fiber supplement from LUTO offers a simple way to add extra soluble fiber to your day.

PCO stands for oligomeric procyanidins. It sounds complicated, but it boils down to this: grape seeds contain all sorts of polyphenols. Some are small molecules, others form long chains. The small, oligomeric variants, namely OPCs and PCOs, are processed differently by your body than the larger polymers. Smaller molecules cross the intestinal wall more easily. That's why standardization matters. A grape seed extract without specification can contain anything. With this product, you know that 95% of the extract consists of oligomeric procyanidins. That's a solid concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference between 30% OPC and 95% PCO\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder why there are two percentages on the label. This is due to measurement methods. OPC and PCO partly overlap. They belong to the same family of grape seed polyphenols. The PCO percentage (95%) indicates the total fraction of oligomeric procyanidins. The OPC content (30%) is a more narrowly defined subset of this. In practice, this means you get a broad spectrum of oligomeric polyphenols, with a guaranteed portion of the smallest and most absorbable fractions. A grape seed extract without these specifications is often less transparent about its exact content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePolyphenols and olive oil in the same capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: in addition to grape seed extract, this product also contains olive oil. \u003cstrong\u003eOlive oil serves as a carrier here and is a natural addition to the formula.\u003c\/strong\u003e Combined with grape seed extract, you get a capsule that brings together two sources of plant polyphenols.

Black Walnut Hulls by NOW Foods contains 500 mg of black walnut hulls per capsule, sourced from Juglans nigra. Black walnut is a botanical ingredient traditionally used in herbal formulations.

It belongs to the same family as the common walnut we know, but with a thicker, harder shell. The part used in this product is the hull: the green, fleshy outer covering that surrounds the nut itself. This outer covering is not the hard shell of the nut, but the hull that surrounds it. In traditional North American herbal medicine, the hull of black walnut has a long history of use, and it is still processed today as an isolated botanical ingredient in herbal formulations. A characteristic feature is that the hull contains a dark brown, intensely coloring substance: juglone. This same substance causes black walnut to naturally stain everything it touches brown, from hands to countertops, and this is why the hull was once also used as a natural dye and ink. The tree itself is known for its dark, elegant wood, highly prized in cabinetmaking; the nuts and their hulls are actually a byproduct. Black walnut is therefore a plant with both a culinary, artisanal, and phytotherapeutic history.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Hull of Juglans nigra\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product contains the ground hull powder of black walnut, i.e., the dried and crushed outer covering. Each capsule provides 500 mg, a fixed amount clearly indicated on the label. This is an isolated product: only the hull of Juglans nigra, without other herbs or extracts. This makes it a targeted choice for those who wish to specifically use this botanical ingredient and maintain control over potential combinations. Since it is the whole, ground plant material, and not a highly concentrated extract, you get the hull in a natural and recognizable form.

The most well-known species, Cordyceps sinensis, grows wild at high altitudes in the Himalayas and on the Tibetan plateau. The fungus has a remarkable life cycle there: it naturally develops on the larvae of certain moths, which made this mushroom rare and valuable for centuries. In traditional Chinese and Tibetan herbal medicine, cordyceps was therefore highly prized. Today, cordyceps for supplements is no longer harvested in the wild but cultivated under controlled conditions, without insect involvement. This provides a consistent and controlled raw material, rather than the wild variant, whose quality varies greatly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to Cordyceps sinensis, there is a second species very often cultivated for dietary supplements: Cordyceps militaris. Both fall under the name cordyceps and are used similarly among functional mushrooms. The broader notoriety of cordyceps in the West dates mainly from the 1990s, when this mushroom made headlines through sports. Since then, cordyceps has become one of the most in-demand mushrooms in the supplement aisle, alongside species like reishi, lion's mane, and chaga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMycelium and what organic means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA mushroom generally consists of two parts: the mycelium, the finely branched root network that grows underground or in a substrate, and the fruiting body, the part visible above ground. This product uses organically grown Cordyceps sinensis mycelium. Each capsule contains 750 mg, and the daily dose of two capsules therefore reaches 1500 mg, or 1.5 grams. This is whole, ground mycelium, not a standardized, concentrated extract; this is a deliberate choice reflected on the label. As the amount per capsule is clearly indicated, you know precisely what you are consuming. The organic label means that the mycelium was grown without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers, on a controlled substrate.

It is a tree native to the forests of eastern North America. The part used is the inner bark: the soft layer just beneath the rough outer bark. Native North Americans have used this inner bark for centuries, and in the North American herbal tradition, slippery elm has since held its own special place. The name \"slippery\" refers to what happens when the ground bark comes into contact with water: it becomes soft and takes on a gelatinous texture. The red elm gets its name from the reddish-brown color of its inner wood and bark. It is a medium-sized deciduous tree that grows wild in the forests of the eastern United States and Canada. For dietary supplements, only the inner bark is used, the thin layer between the outer bark and the wood, which is the richest in characteristic substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFibers and mucilage in the bark\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis slippery property has a natural origin. The bark of the red elm naturally contains a lot of mucilage, a kind of gelling plant substance, as well as plant fibers. Mucilage is a substance that retains water and thus forms a soft, gelatinous mass as soon as it becomes wet. This is exactly what makes slippery elm so recognizable and also explains its name. This is a property of the plant material itself, and not an additive. Fibers and mucilage are both indigestible plant components; they are part of the natural structure of the bark and are lost as soon as the plant is processed into a highly concentrated extract. It is precisely for this reason that NOW Foods chooses whole bark powder here rather than an extract. As the powder absorbs a lot of moisture, it is advisable to drink a sufficient amount of water when using it, which you can find on the label and in the FAQ.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBark powder rather than extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNOW Foods uses whole bark powder here, not a concentrated or standardized extract. You therefore receive the ground inner bark as is, with the naturally present fibers and mucilage intact.

The first is the green hull of the black walnut (Juglans nigra), the fleshy outer shell surrounding the nut. The second is wormwood (Artemisia absinthium), a bitter herb with a long history in Europe, best known as the characteristic herb of absinthe. The third is clove (Syzygium aromaticum), the dried, unopened flower bud of the clove tree, also known as a warming cooking spice. Clove is one of the world's oldest commercial spices and was literally worth its weight in gold for centuries. Wormwood owes its fame primarily to absinthe, the strong drink made from it in the nineteenth century, which was long banned due to its thujone content. These three herbs are traditionally used in combination, and it is precisely this trio that gives the black walnut wormwood formula its name. In this product, they are presented as an extract, incorporated into a liquid tincture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAn Alcohol-Based Liquid Tincture\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA tincture is a liquid plant extract in which plant substances are extracted from the raw material using an alcohol and water base. This is the classic, centuries-old method for making herbs liquid, and that's exactly what NOW Foods does here: the black walnut wormwood extracts are in an alcohol-water base. The alcohol serves as a solvent and preservative, ensuring a long shelf life for the tincture. In a tincture, the active plant material is therefore dissolved in the liquid itself, rather than in a capsule or tablet. Since wormwood naturally contains a substance called thujone, and because it contains alcohol, this product is expressly intended for adults. These characteristics also explain the detailed safety information you will find later on this page and on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosing the Liquid with a Dropper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle comes with a dropper, which you use to measure the liquid. One dose is approximately 1.6 ml, or one full dropper, and a 59 ml bottle provides about 37 doses. The drops are taken diluted in water or juice; shaking well before use is part of the process, as plant extracts can settle. The liquid form is for those who prefer drops to capsules, and allows for easy measurement of the quantity according to the label's instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShort and Recognizable Herbal Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat characterizes this black walnut wormwood tincture is its clear composition: three recognizable botanical ingredients in an alcohol-water base, without a broad mixture of ten herbs.

Each capsule contains 665 mg of turmeric root extract, standardized to 95% curcuminoids. You may know turmeric primarily as the yellow curry spice. In the Netherlands, this root is also called \"geelwortel\" (yellow root). But here, it's all about the active substance extracted from it. For those who want to work specifically with a turmeric extract, without additives, this is a direct choice. No flavorings, no additional ingredients, just the extract and the capsule surrounding it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Curcumin Actually Is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin is the substance that gives turmeric its bright yellow color. In the fresh root of the Curcuma longa plant, there is little, about 3 percent. That's why NOW Foods works with an extract rather than ground root. By concentrating the root to 95% curcuminoids, you receive much more per capsule than a spoonful of turmeric powder alone would provide. Besides curcumin itself, this extract contains two related substances: demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Together, these three substances are called curcuminoids. These are polyphenols, a group of plant substances also found in other herbs, vegetables, and fruits. Good to know: an extract is different from a concentrated powder from the spice rack. The root is first processed here, so that what remains consists mainly of curcuminoids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 95% Curcuminoids Means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis percentage indicates the strength of the extract. Many turmeric products on the shelves contain between 285 and 500 milligrams per capsule. Here, there are 665 mg of extract, which is about 630 mg of curcuminoids per capsule. In practice, this represents a substantial dose in a single capsule. The difference lies in standardization. Because the extract is adjusted to 95%, you know precisely how many curcuminoids are in each capsule. With ordinary turmeric powder, this rate varies greatly and always remains imprecise. And this is a purified extract, so without black pepper and without fillers with their own history. What you receive is a turmeric extract, nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Absorption of Curcumin, and What Contributes to It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder why absorption is so often discussed with curcumin. There's a reason for that. Curcumin is fat-soluble, and your body naturally has difficulty absorbing it in the intestine. Added to that, your liver processes and eliminates it quickly. Here's a practical tip: take the capsule with a meal containing some fat. Fat helps your body transport curcuminoids. Some brands add piperine, a substance from black pepper, to increase absorption. This product deliberately does not. It is a pure extract, without pepper or other absorption enhancers. If you are specifically looking for that combination with pepper, this is not the product for you. And you can know that upfront.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurcumin or Turmeric, What's the Difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn common parlance, these two words are often confused. Yet, there is a difference. Turmeric is the whole root, the herb you also use in cooking and which is called \"geelwortel\" in the Netherlands. Curcumin is the isolated active substance found in this root. A turmeric extract like this one is in between: it comes from the root, but is processed so that the curcuminoids are highly concentrated. So you only need one capsule instead of several spoons of powder. Turmeric, by the way, has been used for thousands of years in Indian cuisine and Ayurveda, long before a capsule enclosed it. What is in this pot is essentially this ancient herb reduced to its most concentrated part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn summary: this is \"geelwortel\" reduced to what most people are interested in, the curcuminoids, in a fixed amount per capsule.

What we know as a vegetable is actually the still-closed flower bud, harvested before the plant comes into bloom. In the kitchen, it's all about this bud, but in supplements, a different part is used: the leaf. Artichoke has been cultivated since antiquity around the Mediterranean, where the plant held a place both as food and in traditional phytotherapy. The leaves naturally contain a bitter plant substance called cynarin, a characteristic compound of artichoke that gives it its typical bitter taste. Artichoke is closely related to cardoon, another thistle, and belongs to the same plant family as sunflowers and daisies. The name artichoke dates back, via Italian, to an Arabic word, a trace of the long journey the plant made across the Mediterranean basin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy Specifically a Leaf Extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product uses an extract from the artichoke leaf, not the edible bud. It is in the leaf that the characteristic plant substances are most concentrated, which is why plant extracts are generally made from the leaf. An extract means that the plant material has been processed to gather these substances into a compact quantity: 450 mg per capsule. This way, in a small capsule, you get a fixed amount of artichoke extract, instead of the variable amounts you would get by consuming fresh or cooked artichoke. Since the amount per capsule is fixed, you know precisely how much artichoke extract you are consuming with each dose. This is the whole difference from consuming the vegetable: the quantity of characteristic leaf substances you get from a cooked artichoke on your plate varies greatly and is difficult to control, whereas a capsule always provides the same measured amount.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Clear and Vegetarian Formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition is clear: artichoke extract as the main ingredient, supplemented only by a few functional excipients such as rice flour, silicon dioxide, and plant-derived magnesium stearate.

This keeps the ingredient list short and makes it easier to plan with other supplements you use. The vegetarian capsule is also suitable for those who do not want gelatin, which is not always the case with plant extracts.

During this process, the fungus colonizes the rice grains and produces a series of red and purple pigments, which give the rice its characteristic dark red color. It is a centuries-old ingredient from Chinese cuisine and herbal tradition, used for over a thousand years. In cuisine, red yeast rice was traditionally used as a natural colorant and flavor enhancer, especially for colored rice wine, tofu, and various meat and fish dishes. From these culinary origins, it has gradually found its way into the modern world of dietary supplements, where it is offered as an isolated ingredient. The red color, incidentally, is not an addition but appears entirely during fermentation: the fungus naturally produces pigments with names like monascorubrin and rubropunctatin. These same pigments are still used today in some parts of Asia as a natural food coloring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a 10:1 extract means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe label indicates that this is a 10:1 extract. This number describes the concentration: approximately ten parts of raw red yeast rice were used to obtain one part of extract. The result is a more compact and concentrated form than unprocessed red yeast rice powder. Each tablet contains 1200 mg of this extract, a fixed amount clearly indicated on the label. In addition to red yeast rice, each tablet also contains calcium, derived from calcium carbonate, mentioned separately on the label. The tablet form is convenient: you don't need to weigh or mix powder, and you know precisely what you are consuming with each tablet. While red yeast rice powder has an earthy and slightly bitter taste, you won't perceive any of that with a coated tablet. The recommended use on the label advises one or two tablets per day, preferably with some food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRed yeast rice and European regulations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the field of dietary supplements, red yeast rice is an ingredient that should be used with discernment.

This explains the detailed safety text you find for this product, both on the label and on this page.

NOW Foods' product contains 600 mg of fermented red yeast rice per vegan capsule, based on Monascus purpureus. It is obtained by traditionally fermenting rice with red yeast. One pot contains 60 capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is red yeast rice?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed yeast rice is regular rice fermented with the red yeast fungus Monascus purpureus. During this fermentation, the fungus colonizes the rice grains and forms a series of red and purple pigments, which give the rice its characteristic color. It is a centuries-old ingredient from East Asia, used in China for over a thousand years, originally as a natural dye and flavor enhancer in cooking. Examples include colored rice wine and traditional dishes. From this culinary origin, red yeast rice has developed into an isolated supplement ingredient, as in these capsules. The bright red color appears entirely during fermentation: the fungus naturally produces coloring pigments, the same ones that still serve as a natural food coloring in some parts of Asia. It is therefore not an added color, but a direct consequence of the fermentation process itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e600 mg per capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 600 mg of red yeast rice, and a daily dose of two capsules therefore provides 1.2 grams. The quantity is clearly indicated on the label, which facilitates dosing and comparison with other red yeast rice supplements. Unlike highly concentrated extract variants, this is fermented red yeast rice itself, in a fixed quantity per capsule. The 600 mg capsule thus constitutes a lighter and easier-to-dose form than a highly concentrated 10:1 extract, while always knowing precisely the quantity used with each intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTested for citrinin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor red yeast rice, the quality of the raw material is particularly important. This is because citrinin can form during fermentation, an undesirable by-product of certain fungal strains. NOW Foods therefore uses red yeast rice tested for citrinin. In addition, red yeast rice naturally contains a group of substances called monacolins, and it is precisely for this reason that strict rules and mandatory warnings have applied to this type of product in the European Union since 2022. This explains the detailed safety information you will find for this product. Read them carefully and do not combine red yeast rice with certain medications without medical advice. Full safety information is provided further down this page and on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsule and composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula is deliberately short: red yeast rice as the main ingredient, a vegetable capsule of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose, and a vegetable polysaccharide thickener. There are no superfluous additions. As the capsule is of plant origin, this product is suitable for vegetarians and vegans. It is intended for adults who wish to use red yeast rice as an isolated ingredient, taking into account the safety information. Since nothing else is added, you remain in control of what you combine it with.

In Ayurveda, it is known as brahmi or mandukaparni, and it has also appeared for generations in Chinese herbal tradition. Vit4ever brings this classic plant back in a modern, standardized form: 1500 mg of extract per daily serving of two capsules, with a fixed content of 4% asiaticoside.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Asiaticoside is and why it is standardized\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe plant substances for which Centella asiatica is known are triterpene saponins, a group of natural compounds that the plant produces itself. Asiaticoside is the most important and most measured representative. In addition, the plant contains madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid, substances that often appear in combination with each other. With ordinary plant powder, the content of these substances can vary greatly, depending on the origin, the time of harvest, and the season in which the plant was picked. A standardized extract solves this problem. \"Standardized to 4% asiaticoside\" means that the extract has been processed and controlled so that each serving contains a fixed percentage of this marker substance, regardless of fluctuations in the raw plant. For 1500 mg of extract, this amounts to 60 mg of asiaticoside per day. Vit4ever also has the extract tested in a laboratory, so that the stated content is truly present in the capsule. This way, you know precisely with each pot what you are consuming, instead of a variable amount that can differ from batch to batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom plant to capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the extract, the aerial parts of the plant are used: the leaves and stems. These are first dried and then concentrated by an extraction process, during which the asiaticoside content is adjusted to the fixed 4%. The resulting powder is placed in a vegetable hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsule, a material that contains no animal components. As a separating agent, only stearic acid is used, a substance that prevents the powder from sticking to the machines during the production process. Furthermore, it contains no excipients, flavorings, colorings, or preservatives. The ingredient list thus remains short and clear: extract, capsule shell, and separating agent, nothing more. Packaging takes place in Germany according to fixed quality standards, with controls on both the asiaticoside content and the purity of the extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and with a long supply in one pot\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs the capsule shell is vegetable and no animal ingredients are involved, Gotu Kola fits into a vegan diet. It contains no gelatin, lactose, or gluten, which also makes it interesting for people who, for other reasons, pay attention to what their supplements contain. One pot contains 120 capsules. With the recommended serving of two capsules per day, you thus have a supply for 60 days, or two months. This makes it a practical choice for those who want to integrate the plant into a fixed routine over a longer period, without having to order a new pot halfway through. Many people who discover Centella asiatica wonder how long such a plant extract actually lasts: with daily use of two capsules, you count two months per pot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout dosage and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended daily serving is two capsules, to be taken with sufficient liquid without chewing them. You do not have to chew or open the capsules, as is the case with some herbal tablets: you take them whole. Observe the indicated serving and do not exceed it. A food supplement does not replace a varied diet and a balanced lifestyle, and Gotu Kola is no exception. Those who discover Centella asiatica for the first time often wonder why it is precisely the asiaticoside content that is used as a reference: this is because this substance is the easiest to measure and thus constitutes the most reliable indicator of the extract's quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Gotu Kola, no specific health claims have been approved under European legislation. We therefore describe what the plant is, where it comes from, and how the extract is composed, and we deliberately refrain from any claims about a possible effect.

Saffron is considered one of the most precious spices in the world. In this product, it comes in the form of a standardized brand extract in vegetable capsules, with a deliberately short ingredient list.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat saffron extract and Affron are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaffron comes from the Crocus sativus flower. Only the red stigmas, the saffron threads, are harvested by hand. Thousands of flowers are needed for a small amount, making saffron one of the world's most precious spices per gram, earning it the nickname \"red gold.\" Saffron extract is a concentrated form obtained from these threads. For harvesting, the flowers are picked by hand and the three red stigmas from each flower are collected separately, usually early in the morning before the flower opens. This labor-intensive harvesting explains why saffron is so special and why its price per gram is so high. Affron is a brand extract from Pharmactive Biotech Products made from selected saffron threads. Where ordinary saffron powder varies according to harvest and origin, Affron is brought to a fixed and defined composition. Thus, you know precisely with each capsule what you are consuming, instead of a variable amount of ground saffron. Saffron (Crocus sativus) contributes to emotional balance, helps with relaxation, and helps maintain a positive mood*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStandardized to 3.5 percent Lepticrosalides, what exactly does that mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLepticrosalides are characteristic components of Affron saffron extract. They are used as a quality marker: by standardizing the extract to 3.5 percent Lepticrosalides, the composition remains identical from batch to batch. Standardizing means that an extract is adjusted to a fixed amount of a certain component, instead of simply using ground saffron. Two capsules provide 30 mg of Affron with 1.05 mg of Lepticrosalides, which amounts to 15 mg of Affron per capsule. This fixed ratio is the difference between a standardized extract and isolated saffron powder, whose active substance content can vary from harvest to harvest. Affron and Lepticrosalides are registered trademarks of Pharmactive Biotech Products, S.L.U. What many people don't know: saffron has been used for centuries in Mediterranean cuisine and in traditional applications, long before it appeared as a standardized extract in capsule form. Saffron also helps maintain a good feeling of comfort before and during the menstrual cycle*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom saffron threads to extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaffron threads are harvested at maturity and carefully selected, usually by hand, as mechanical harvesting damages the fine threads. This is followed by a gentle water-based extraction to preserve the components of the threads without altering them with harsh solvents. Each batch is tested in independent laboratories for purity, active substance content, and quality standards. The current laboratory analysis can be requested from Vit4ever. The extract is packaged in Germany and Europe according to HACCP, GMP, and ISO 22000:2018 standards. Since 2016, Vit4ever has represented food supplements with clear and transparent declarations and a wide assortment for daily use. Many people wonder why saffron extract in capsule form is more expensive than saffron threads at the grocer. The difference lies in standardization: ordinary saffron threads offer no guarantee regarding Lepticrosalides content, whereas this extract is specifically tested and adjusted for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsule and short ingredient list\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material, with rice flour as a bulking agent. Furthermore, it contains no unnecessary additives: no gelatin, no sugar, no colorings, flavorings, or preservatives, and the product is lactose-free, gluten-free, titanium dioxide-free, and nanoparticle-free. Those looking for saffron extract in capsule form get a product with a limited and clear composition and a net content of 39 grams. The capsules themselves measure 22 by 9 mm and are therefore easy to swallow, even for those who have difficulty with large capsules. The difference from isolated saffron powder is not only in the convenience of a capsule but also in the precise and traceable dosage per unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 120 capsules, at two capsules per day, you have a supply for 60 days. Preferably take the two capsules at a fixed time with enough liquid, so your routine remains simple.
