What vitamins should I take?
Where to find the best vitamins?
How can I recognize a good product?
These are questions we hear frequently - not only from our customers but also family and friends. With so many options and so much information out there it can get quite confusing, no doubt.
This is what we recommend you to do in order to find good quality supplements that match your needs.
Before taking supplements it is important to look at your current status quo. There are multiple factors that should be considered:
These questions are important because your needs might vary a lot based on your age, diet, geographical location and lifestyle choices.
A person in a tropical country might have totally different requirements than a person living in the Arctic region. Similarly an elderly person with a chronic health condition, a pregnant woman or a small child are likely to have very different needs than an athlete with a strict workout regimen.
Remember: There's rarely a “one size fits all” solution when it comes to supplements.
After looking at your current status you should consider your personal health goals.
Usually this will give helpful clues when it comes to choosing the right supplement.
On our website we have organized our products into categories like Gut Health, Immunity and Muscle Health. By choosing a category you will automatically find the products that are most suitable for a particular purpose.
If you are taking medicines, suffer from any acute or chronic health problems or if you are pregnant, we recommend consulting with your doctor before taking supplements randomly.
Why is that important?
While a product might be 100% natural it can potentially interact with medications and create unwanted side effects. In addition, some herbal remedies may influence the efficacy or toxicity of some prescription medicines. The best way to avoid negative outcomes is to predict and prevent possible drug interaction - means: discuss it with your healthcare provider.
There are several vitamins that are recommended during pregnancy. But that does not mean all products are safe. Unsafe supplements include vitamin A and certain exotic herbal supplements. We recommend talking to your doctor/ obstetrician to find safe choices.
In case you are planning to give supplements to your children check recommendations of your countries health officials and talk to your pediatrician if required. The NHS recommends the following on their website:
Growing children, especially those who don't eat a varied diet, sometimes don't get enough vitamins A and C. It's also difficult to get enough vitamin D through food alone.
Please note: General recommendations can vary depending on your country.
There are several things you can do in order to verify the quality of a vitamin product. Here's what we recommend:
Transparency is key when it comes to quality products. Avoid vendors and products that contain synthetic vitamin forms, unnecessary binders, preservatives or coatings. Other ingredients to avoid include artificial sweeteners, flavors, and dyes or genetically modified ingredients.
Supplements are safe and effective as long as you a) choose the right product and b) take it correctly.
One rule of thumb is: Never exceed the dosage mentioned on the package and always remember to follow the instructions of the manufacturer. When it comes to vitamins and supplements, more is not automatically better! In fact, the dose makes the poison.

Does this sound familiar: After a long day or an exhausting week, you feel completely drained and exhausted?
Your concentration drops, and your memory just doesn't work like it used to.
Then it's high time to recharge your energy reserves and get some rest.
We recommend: Before you get to this point, do something to support your brain!
In this article, we explain how you can best do that.
Are you getting enough sleep, zinc and vitamin C? Then this is already a big step for the health of your immune system. But in the colder months and during flu season, you should pay special attention to your defenses.
A well-functioning immune system plays an important role in the fight against flu germs. If it doesn't work properly, we are at risk of getting sick.
But what exactly does the health of our gut have to do with this?
The gut provides back-up and is strongly connected to our defenses.
Learn how exactly the gut is connected to the immune system and what you can do to strengthen your defenses, especially during this flu season.
A healthy immune system is no coincidence. Daily eating habits and general lifestyle have a direct impact on our body. They help our body to protect us from infections and toxins.
In order for our immune system to do its job properly, it needs to be constantly supplied with vitamins, minerals and trace elements.
And yet it is still inevitable that every now and then a virus or bacteria will invade our body. If an intruder has managed to get into our body, immune cells (kind of blood cells) come into action to fight it. Blood cells are a very important part of our immune system and should therefore be well supported.
But how can we support the production of blood cells? We found out for you & are going to tell you now!
