It is a dietary supplement in capsule form from the Stacker2 brand, a name that has been well-known for years. Each capsule contains caffeine and a fixed mix of herbal extracts. Stacker4 is the ephedra-free successor to the original Stacker formulas and is sold in a bottle of 100 capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in Stacker4\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe composition of Stacker 4 revolves around two components. The first is caffeine anhydrous, a concentrated form of caffeine in powder form. The second is a herbal mix of green tea extract, yerba mate, guarana, capsicum, kola nut and Siberian ginseng. Caffeine also occurs naturally in coffee beans, tea leaves and guarana seeds. In Stacker4, it is included both as pure caffeine and through those plant-based sources. The capsule itself is made of hypromellose (plant-based). The manufacturer does not disclose the exact dosage per herbal extract, because they are in a fixed mix of 250 milligrams. However, the caffeine content is listed separately, because that is legally required for these types of amounts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA high dose of caffeine per capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat many people want to know about Stacker4 is how much caffeine is in each capsule. The answer: 300 milligrams per capsule. That is a high amount, comparable to about three cups of coffee in a single capsule. Precisely because of that content, it is important to stick to the indicated dosage and not just take multiple capsules at once. People who are sensitive to caffeine will clearly notice such a dose. For comparison: a regular cup of filter coffee contains around 90 milligrams of caffeine. Three capsules a day, the maximum indicated by the manufacturer, therefore come out to 900 milligrams. That is why it is wise to count your own caffeine intake from other sources as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe herbal extracts in the blend\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to caffeine, Stacker4 contains a blend of plant extracts. Green tea and yerba mate are leaves that have traditionally been brewed as tea. Guarana is a seed from the Amazon that naturally contains caffeine. Capsicum is the substance from Spanish pepper that provides the spicy taste. Kola nut comes from the kola nut tree and Siberian ginseng is a root, not to be confused with the Panax ginseng you find in other supplements. Green tea and guarana naturally provide part of the caffeine content, while capsicum is known for the spicy substance capsaicin. The extracts are combined into a fixed mix, so that every capsule contains the same ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEphedra-free for years\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe original Stacker products used to contain ephedra. That substance is no longer allowed in supplements in Europe. Stacker 4 is therefore formulated completely without ephedra, with caffeine and herbal extracts as the base. The product is marketed in Europe by Stacker2 Europe and is one of the best-known names in its category. The capsule form makes it easy to dose, without having to weigh or mix anything. Good to know: because EU legislation is strict about what you may say about the effects of such a product, you will mainly find information about the composition and use on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stacker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43282513985756,"sku":"Stacker-001","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/products\/stacker2-europe-stacker-4.jpg?v=1676588647"},{"product_id":"vitamine-d3-k2","title":"Vitamin D3 \u0026 K2 | 1000IU \/ 45 MCG | 120 Vegetarian Capsules | Now Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVitamin D3 \u0026amp; K2 from NOW Foods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo you want to combine vitamins D3 and K2 in one capsule?

Vitamin D contributes to normal calcium levels in the blood and to the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin K, in turn, contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Therefore, vitamins D3 and K2 are often offered together in supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin K2 as menaquinone-4\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin K2 in this formula is menaquinone-4, or MK-4 for short. This is a specific form of vitamin K2. You get 45 µg of it per capsule, in addition to 25 µg of vitamin D3. Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting.

No complicated combinations, no extra additives. Just one capsule per day for those who want to keep their magnesium intake up without the hassle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy manufacturers still choose oxide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium oxide does not have the best reputation when it comes to absorption, and yet it is on many shelves. There is a practical reason for that. Magnesium never occurs alone; it is always bound to another substance, and with oxide, that other substance is oxygen, a small and light molecule. As a result, magnesium oxide contains a high proportion of elemental magnesium per gram, much more than, for example, citrate or bisglycinate. This means that with a compact capsule you still end up with a substantial dose. Cost is also a factor: the raw material is relatively cheap to produce, which keeps a high dosage affordable. For a manufacturer who wants to get 400 mg of magnesium into one capsule, oxide is therefore an obvious choice. If you want to achieve that same amount with bisglycinate, you will quickly need two to three times as much capsule volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe absorption debate, explained honestly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a persistent misconception about magnesium oxide. You often read that inorganic forms such as oxide are absorbed less effectively than organic forms such as citrate or bisglycinate. There is a kernel of truth in that: per milligram ingested, your body absorbs a smaller portion of oxide. But that is not the whole story. Because the density of elemental magnesium is so high, a substantial amount still remains per capsule to be absorbed. The difference is therefore not only in what you absorb per milligram, but also in how much is in the capsule to start with. Many people wonder if magnesium oxide is therefore a bad choice. That is oversimplifying: it depends on what you are looking for. If you want the highest absorption per milligram, then bisglycinate or citrate is more interesting. If you want a high total dose and a simple formula, then oxide is a logical option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOxide alongside citrate, bisglycinate and taurate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone looking to supplement magnesium will quickly come across a handful of forms, and they differ more than you might think. Citrate is magnesium bound to citric acid. Bisglycinate is linked to the amino acid glycine and is often offered in lower dosages. Taurate combines magnesium with the amino acid taurine, which especially appeals to those who consciously choose that specific binding. Oxide does not distinguish itself through absorption per milligram, but through density: simply more elemental magnesium fits in the same capsule. This makes it a practical choice when you would rather not swallow four or five capsules per day to meet your magnesium needs. If you still choose another form, in practice you will often take more capsules to get a comparable amount of magnesium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this formula is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese capsules are aimed at adults who want to supplement their magnesium intake in a simple way, with a high dosage per capsule and without needing multiple capsules per day for that. Think of people with a busy schedule who do not feel like thinking about their supplement three times a day, or those who simply want to be set for a year without reordering in between. The capsule shell is plant-based, so the magnesium oxide is also suitable if you are vegan. The product is free from gluten, lactose and magnesium stearate, and contains no other unnecessary additives. Magnesium oxide can have a laxative effect in higher dosages. At the recommended 1 capsule per day, this effect is minor for most people, but if you notice that your bowels react sensitively, build up slowly and take the capsule with plenty of water. Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. In addition, magnesium contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, to electrolyte balance, to normal protein synthesis and to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and plays a role in the cell division process.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: magnesium oxide with 400 mg of elemental magnesium per capsule, in vegan capsules and with a year's supply per bottle. A sensible choice for those who would rather take one capsule per day than several, and do not want to order a new bottle every month.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43338133438684,"sku":"vit4-068","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-magnesiumoxide-1.jpg?v=1793623855"},{"product_id":"jodium-uit-bio-kelp-vit4ever","title":"Iodine from Bio Kelp 200µg | 365 tablets | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eIodine from Organic Kelp by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIodine\u003c\/strong\u003e is an essential trace element that your body cannot produce itself and must therefore be obtained from food or a supplement. Vit4ever provides the iodine from organic kelp, a brown alga that naturally contains iodine and has been part of the diet in coastal areas for centuries. Each tablet provides 200 µg of iodine, equivalent to 133 percent of the reference intake. One jar contains 365 vegan tablets, enough for a year at one tablet per day, without having to reorder in between.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIodine from a natural, organic source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe iodine in this product comes from organic kelp extract of the species Ascophyllum nodosum, a brown alga that grows in cold, clean coastal waters around northern Europe, among other places. Kelp has long been known for its high, natural iodine content; fishermen and coastal residents ate this alga for centuries as a staple part of their diet. The extract that Vit4ever uses comes from controlled organic cultivation and is standardized to a fixed iodide content, so that each tablet provides 200 µg of iodine, regardless of natural fluctuations in the iodine content of the raw alga. That is a major difference compared to eating seaweed yourself: the iodine content can vary widely, from barely measurable to very high, while a standardized extract guarantees a fixed dose of \u003cstrong\u003eiodine\u003c\/strong\u003e per tablet. This way, you know exactly how much you are taking in, day after day, without having to guess the amount in a serving of fresh alga.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat iodine is used for in your body\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIodine contributes to the normal production of thyroid hormones and the normal function of the thyroid gland, the butterfly-shaped gland in your neck that controls many other processes in your body. In addition, iodine contributes to normal cognitive function, a normal energy-producing metabolism, the maintenance of normal skin, and the normal function of the nervous system. Many people wonder why iodine is mentioned so often in relation to the thyroid. The answer lies in chemistry: thyroid hormones are built up with iodine atoms. Iodine is found in fish, shellfish, dairy, and bread with iodized baking salt, among other things. The difference is that with a tablet you are not dependent on the incidental iodine content of a meal, but you get the same, known amount every day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan, pure and a year's supply in one jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tablets are 100 percent vegan and contain no unnecessary additives: free from magnesium stearate, colorings, preservatives, gelatin, lactose, and gluten, and moreover, GMO-free. This makes them suitable for a wide group of users, including those who want to avoid animal ingredients for principled or practical reasons or who are sensitive to common allergens. With 365 tablets and an intake of one per day, you have a supply for a whole year, without having to order a new jar halfway through. Each batch is independently tested in a laboratory, which provides extra assurance about the purity and the actual amount of iodine per tablet, instead of only relying on the grower's statement. By the way, a year's supply in one jar also means less packaging material per tablet than with smaller jars that you would have to replenish several times a year. For those who systematically pay attention to iodine via kelp, that is a practical additional benefit alongside the constant dosage. This way, this product combines a natural, plant-based source with the predictability of a standardized extract, in a package that lasts a whole year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIodine in your daily diet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Netherlands, the vast majority of iodine intake comes from iodized baking salt, bread, and dairy products, because these products have traditionally been enriched with iodine. Fish and shellfish are also naturally a source of iodine, but not everyone eats these products regularly. A tablet with a fixed amount of iodine from organic kelp can be a supplement to what the daily diet already provides, without having to calculate how much iodine is in a slice of bread or a glass of milk.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43345779261660,"sku":"vit4-189","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-jodium-uit-bio-kelp-vit4ever-1.jpg?v=1793623857"},{"product_id":"superfood-mix","title":"Green Juice Superfood Mix | 420 g | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGreen Juice Superfood Mix by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaking a green smoothie normally takes time: washing vegetables, juicing, and cleaning up. This \u003cstrong\u003egreen juice superfood mix\u003c\/strong\u003e makes it much simpler. You stir the powder into water or a smoothie and you're done. It consists of six plant-based ingredients, including barley grass, guarana, maca, moringa, chlorella, and spirulina. Convenient for anyone who wants to drink something green daily without the hassle in the kitchen or a kitchen cabinet full of separate jars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is in this green mix\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe base of this mix 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 green in color. In addition, the mix contains maca root powder, a root crop from the Peruvian Andes that has been part of the local cuisine there for centuries, comparable to how we use radish or celeriac. Moringa oleifera powder comes from the moringa tree, a tree that is widely cultivated in tropical and subtropical regions because of its nutritious leaves. These three ingredients together give the mix its body and deep green color. Erythritol, a sweetener obtained from fermented starch, and natural lemon flavoring provide a fresh aftertaste. Citric acid has been added as an acidity regulator, so that the taste remains stable from the first to the last scoop in the jar. This way, you will taste approximately the same with the last portion as with the first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eGuarana: origin and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuarana is a climbing plant from the Amazon region, known for the seeds from which this powder is made. The local population has been using guarana for generations, often grated into powder just like in this mix. Guarana can contribute to physical and mental vitality*. In this mix, each 20-gram serving provides 2.5 grams of guarana powder, the same amount as the maca and the moringa. This makes guarana one of the larger components alongside the barley grass, and not just a minor flavor. What many people do not 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 scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpirulina platensis and Chlorella pyrenoidosa are both single-celled algae that grow in fresh water and have been known for decades as a food source for humans and animals. Chlorella is in a similar amount in the mix, 2.3 grams per serving compared to 2.3 grams of spirulina, and is valued mainly for its dense cell structure and deep green color. The difference lies in the cell wall: chlorella has a tougher outer shell than spirulina, which is the reason that chlorella is usually processed finely ground. Together, these two algae form the green base of every scoop, alongside the barley grass.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to fit this green drink into your day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA daily serving of this \u003cstrong\u003egreen powder mix\u003c\/strong\u003e consists of five level scoops, calculated as 20 grams of powder. You stir that into water, juice, or a smoothie, as clearly indicated by the composition. Many users choose the morning, as a fixed part of breakfast or just before. Others prefer to mix it with yogurt, oatmeal, or a piece of fruit, so that the serving automatically goes with a meal you are already eating. This way, this \u003cstrong\u003egreen juice superfood mix\u003c\/strong\u003e becomes part of a habit instead of a separate action that you quickly forget. By the way, the taste is less bitter than you might often expect with green powders due to the lemon flavoring and the erythritol. What stands out is that the powder is fine enough to dissolve quickly, without lumps at the bottom. This is partly because barley grass, maca, and moringa all have a fine grain in powder form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis mix is vegan and consists of six plant-based ingredients in one 420-gram jar, good for approximately 21 servings.

Vit4ever offers the substance in its purest form, as \u003cstrong\u003eD-mannose powder\u003c\/strong\u003e without any frills. One ingredient, nothing else. This makes this powder interesting for those who want to know exactly what is in their daily serving and do not like long labels with unknown additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat D-mannose exactly is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-mannose is a simple sugar, chemically related to glucose but with a slightly different structure. The difference lies in the arrangement of the molecule: a few atoms are arranged differently, and that appears to be enough to make your body treat it completely differently. Your body also produces small amounts of it itself, among other things during the formation of certain proteins located on the outside of cells. Unlike regular sugar, your body processes D-mannose into energy only to a limited extent. That is exactly what makes the substance different from, for example, glucose or table sugar, which are almost completely absorbed and burned in your metabolism. What many people do not know: D-mannose also occurs naturally in small amounts in some fruits, but in much lower concentrations than in a concentrated powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin from non-GMO maize\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever extracts this D-mannose powder from non-GMO maize. The starch from the maize is processed into a fine, white powder with a mild natural sweetness. No flavorings, colorings, sweeteners, or other additives are used. What remains is one hundred percent D-mannose. People who do not care much for long ingredient lists will appreciate that, because you know exactly what you are getting. Many users wonder whether powder is different from capsules. The difference is mainly in the form, not in the substance itself: a capsule often contains the same D-mannose, just encapsulated in a shell made of, for example, cellulose. Moreover, with powder you can decide yourself how to take it and in what amount of liquid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDissolving, dosing and why powder can be convenient\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-mannose powder dissolves easily in cold water. Stir it in, wait a few seconds and it is ready to drink. A lukewarm or hot drink can also be used, although the taste will change slightly. The powder itself is naturally mildly sweet, which means you can also drink it perfectly well without juice or syrup. Some people mix it with yogurt or a smoothie, but plain water remains the simplest way. Good to know: the powder does not clump easily, even if you take it in a bottle and stir it on the go. With powder you decide the amount of liquid and the time of intake yourself, which is less flexible with capsules, and for those who have difficulty swallowing tablets, this is a practical advantage. The 250-gram package is compact enough for the kitchen cupboard and will last for quite a while with a daily dose of 2 grams: approximately 125 servings from one jar. The included scoop makes dosing straightforward: two scoops per day, no more and no less.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStorage and one ingredient without doubt\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the powder does not clump easily, a serving is also easy to prepare on the go: just stir it in a bottle of water and it is ready, without needing a blender or shaker. At home, a sealed jar in a dry place, away from direct sunlight, is sufficient so that the powder retains its texture and mild sweetness. Because there are no flavorings or other sensitive additives, D-mannose powder is less susceptible to quality loss than supplements with, for example, added flavorings, and a sealed package remains usable for a long time. With many powder supplements you have to read the ingredient list carefully to see what else has been added besides the main substance; with this product that question is quickly answered, because there is only one name on the label, D-mannose, and nothing else. This also makes the powder suitable for those who want to easily combine it with other supplements or food, without having to consider overlapping additives.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, with this D-mannose powder from Vit4ever you get a simple, pure product without unnecessary additives.

It is found mainly in the stem and, to a lesser extent, in the fruit itself. Enzymes are proteins that speed up chemical reactions without being changed themselves. Bromelain consists of enzymes that can break down other proteins into smaller pieces, a process called proteolysis in biochemistry. Manufacturers obtain bromelain by pressing the extract from the pineapple plant and then purifying and concentrating it into a fine powder that fits in a capsule. The stem usually contains more bromelain than the flesh, which explains why supplements are often obtained from this part of the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the F.I.P. value is stated alongside the weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference lies in what a figure actually measures. 750 mg states how much bromelain is in the capsule by weight. 2000 F.I.P. states something else: how powerfully the enzyme works per unit of weight. F.I.P. stands for Federation Internationale de Pharmacie, the organization that once established this measurement method as an international standard. Two bromelain extracts with exactly the same weight can have very different enzyme activity, depending on the degree of purity, the extraction method, and the part of the plant from which the extract comes. By placing both values together on the label, Vit4ever provides a more complete picture than weight in milligrams alone would. This way, you not only know how much bromelain you are taking, but also how active that amount actually is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom pineapple stem to capsule form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFresh pineapple does provide bromelain, but in a highly variable amount: the content depends on the ripeness of the fruit, the variety, and which part of the fruit you eat. Moreover, the fruit itself also provides a large amount of sugar, which not everyone wants to consume daily. This is where the capsule form comes in. The concentrated extract is processed into a capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) with gellan, two plant-based raw materials that keep the capsule firm and easily dissolvable without the use of animal-derived gelatin. This way, you take a fixed dose of bromelain without the sugar or volume of the fresh fruit, and without having to figure out which part of a pineapple contains the most bromelain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt present, there are no EU-approved health claims for bromelain that may be used freely. This page therefore deliberately limits itself to the composition, dosage, and use of the product, without making statements about a possible effect on the body. This is a legal choice and says nothing about the quality of the extract itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eUse with a meal\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever advises taking one capsule daily with a meal, together with sufficient liquid. The recommended dosage has deliberately not been set higher than one capsule per day, and it is wise to stick to this instead of increasing it yourself. People who use blood thinners or have a planned operation should discuss this with a doctor beforehand, simply because enzymes such as bromelain can affect processes in the body that medication also influences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 120 capsules in the package and a daily dose of one, you can use this bromelain supplement for four consecutive months without having to reorder in between. That is a generous supply for anyone looking for a fixed, repeatable amount of bromelain with a clear enzyme activity on the label, without the hassle of buying, peeling, and processing fresh pineapple. For those who prefer working with a fixed figure rather than an estimate based on a piece of fruit, that is a practical difference.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43346139611356,"sku":"vit4-203","price":25.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-bromelaine-1.jpg?v=1793623858"},{"product_id":"turmeric-curcumin","title":"Curcumin 95% Extract 665mg | 60 Capsules | NOW Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCurcumin Extract 95% by NOW Foods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is \u003cstrong\u003ecurcumin\u003c\/strong\u003e in a concentrated form. Each capsule contains 665 mg of turmeric root extract, standardized to 95% curcuminoids. You may know turmeric mainly as the yellow spice in curry. In the Netherlands, this root is also called yellow root. But here, it is all about the curcuminoids you extract from it. For those who want to use turmeric extract specifically, without additives, this is a straightforward choice. No flavorings, no extra ingredients, just the extract and the capsule around 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. The fresh root of the Curcuma longa plant contains very little of it, about three percent. That is why NOW Foods uses an extract instead of ground root. By concentrating the root to 95% curcuminoids, you get much more per capsule than from a spoonful of plain turmeric powder. In addition to curcumin itself, that extract also contains two related substances: demethoxycurcumin and bisdemethoxycurcumin. Together, these three are called curcuminoids. They are polyphenols, a group of plant substances that you also find in other herbs, vegetables, and fruit. Good to know: an extract is different from a concentrated powder from the spice rack. The root is processed first, so that what remains consists mainly of curcuminoids.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 95% curcuminoids means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat percentage says something about the strength of the extract. Much of the turmeric on the shelves contains around 285 to 500 milligrams per capsule. This contains 665 mg of extract, which is good for about 630 mg of curcuminoids per capsule. The difference lies in the standardization. Because the extract is standardized to 95%, you know how many curcuminoids are in each capsule. With regular turmeric powder, that varies greatly and you never know exactly. And this is a plain extract, so without black pepper and without fillers that come with their own story. What you get is turmeric extract, nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTake with a meal, without piperine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurcumin is a fat-soluble substance. Take the capsule with a meal, with enough water. Some brands add piperine, a substance from black pepper. This product deliberately does not. It is a pure extract, without pepper or other additives. If you are specifically looking for that pepper combination, then this is not the product you need. And you are welcome to know that beforehand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCurcumin or turmeric, what is the difference?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn everyday language, those two words are used interchangeably. Yet there is a difference. Turmeric is the whole root, the spice that you also use in the kitchen and that is called yellow root in the Netherlands. Curcumin is the yellow coloring substance that is in that root. A turmeric extract like this sits somewhere in between: it comes from the root, but is processed so that the curcuminoids are highly concentrated in it. Because of this, one capsule is enough instead of several spoonfuls of powder. Turmeric has, by the way, been used in Indian cuisine for thousands of years. What is in this jar is, in fact, that centuries-old spice reduced to its most concentrated part.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this is yellow root reduced to the curcuminoids, in a fixed amount per capsule.

Vitamin D3, or cholecalciferol, is the form that the human body produces itself and that is also found in animal-based foods; the plant-based variant is called vitamin D2 (ergocalciferol). D3 is the most commonly used form in supplements. On labels, you will find vitamin D in two units: micrograms (µg) and international units (IU). For vitamin D, 1 microgram corresponds to 40 IU, so 50 µg is equal to 2000 IU. This explains why you sometimes see the same vitamin listed in mcg and sometimes in IU.

This is a plant from the ranunculaceae family, not to be confused with the common cumin found in the spice rack. A daily dose of two softgels provides 1000 mg of oil, supplemented with natural vitamin E. With 420 softgels per bottle, taking two per day gives you a supply for about half a year, divided into a morning and evening dose. Precisely for this reason, many people deliberately choose the capsule form over a bottle of pure oil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat lies behind the name Nigella sativa\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNigella sativa is also known as black seed oil, and the small black seeds have been used for generations in the kitchens of countries including Egypt, Turkey, and India. The oil itself consists largely of unsaturated fatty acids, including linoleic acid, an omega-6 fatty acid that occurs naturally in numerous plant oils. In addition, Nigella sativa oil contains a range of smaller components that together determine the seeds' typical, slightly spicy aroma. However, in the Netherlands and the rest of the EU, we may only mention health claims that are officially listed in the European claims database. At this moment, there is no approved claim for Nigella sativa oil listed there, so we mainly describe its composition and origin here, not what it would do for you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThymoquinone, a plant substance in the seeds\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlack seed oil owes part of its fame to thymoquinone, a plant substance that occurs naturally in the seeds of Nigella sativa. Thymoquinone also gives the oil part of its characteristic, slightly bitter aroma and taste. The amount of thymoquinone in a seed depends on where and how the plant was grown, and on the way the oil is subsequently extracted. Pure black seed oil has a pronounced, sharp taste. In a softgel, you taste none of that. You simply swallow the capsule with a glass of water, without having to measure out a spoonful or dealing with an aftertaste. This makes the capsule form primarily a matter of convenience for those who want to give the oil a regular place in their day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin E from soybeans, supplemented for a reason\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-alpha-tocopherol has been added to the formula, a natural form of vitamin E that is extracted from non-genetically modified soybeans. Each daily dose of two softgels contains 10 mg. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble substance, which explains why it fits well in an oil formula like this one: it dissolves in the same fat phase as the black seed oil itself, instead of in an aqueous solution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCold-pressed and packaged in a softgel capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCold-pressing means that the seeds are mechanically pressed without adding heat. As a result, the oil does not come into contact with high temperatures during production, which, according to the manufacturer, benefits the oil's composition. That oil is then placed directly into a softgel capsule, also known as a softgel. A softgel consists of a shell with a liquid or oil-based filling, in contrast to a hard capsule that usually contains powder. Please note: the capsule shell of this product is made of beef gelatin. This means that this product is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians, unlike capsules based on plant-based hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. Due to the vitamin E from soy, the product also contains soy, something to take into account in case of an allergy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA bottle with 420 softgels provides about 210 daily doses when taking two per day.

You can also see that color in the root of Coptis chinensis itself, which has long stood out for its deep yellow tint. Berberine has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese herbal medicine, usually in the form of dried and ground root. The extract in this product is highly concentrated: 97% of the extract consists of pure berberine HCl, the salt form of berberine that is more stable than the free molecule and therefore easier to incorporate into a capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBerberine HCl and EU regulations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere is no approved health claim for berberine in the EU.

To achieve a fixed amount per capsule, the root is therefore first extracted and then standardized. For this product, that percentage is 97%, which means that the extract consists almost entirely of berberine HCl. Compare it to the difference between a cup of herbal tea and a concentrated decoction: the same plant, but in a completely different amount per serving. Different plants from completely different families can contain the same molecule. In Coptis chinensis, berberine is mainly concentrated in the root and the rhizome, the underground part of the plant. During extraction, that part of the plant is dried, ground and further processed into the extract that eventually ends up in the capsule. This standardization also ensures that every capsule is virtually identical in composition to the previous one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnyone looking for a simple formula with Coptis chinensis as the only source will find in Berberine HCl 97% Intenso a product without a herbal mix or extra additives.

The dark, olive-colored berries of this plant have been harvested and processed into extracts for generations. Vit4ever uses only the berry of Serenoa repens as a raw material and processes it into an extract standardized to 30 percent fatty acids. One bottle contains 180 vegan capsules, enough for approximately six months at one capsule per day.

In this saw palmetto extract, this refers to fatty acids, the characteristic lipophilic (fat-soluble) components of the saw palmetto berry. Each 500 mg capsule therefore delivers 150 mg of fatty acids, or 30 percent of the total weight. Without standardization, one bottle could contain a different concentration than the previous one, simply because the composition of berries varies from year to year. By fixing this at 30 percent, you know that every capsule contains the same amount of fatty acids, batch after batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtract versus unrefined powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a clear difference between a concentrated extract and simply ground, dried berries. In an extract, the fat-soluble components are actively brought together and concentrated, while less relevant plant parts are filtered out. With unrefined powder, you get the whole berry, including fibers and other components that do not contribute to the standardized content. Vit4ever deliberately chooses the extract, packaged in a plant-based capsule made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a shell that is also suitable for people who do not want to use animal gelatin. One capsule per day, taken with a meal and plenty of water, is sufficient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and processing of saw palmetto\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaw palmetto owes its name to the sharp, saw-like spines along the leaf stems, which you must be careful with during harvesting. The plant can live for hundreds of years and grows slowly, which partly explains why the berries have been harvested for centuries instead of being grown on a large scale like many other crops. The ripe berries change color from yellow to dark brown and are harvested as soon as they are ripe enough. After harvesting, they are dried and then processed into an extract, where the extraction process determines how much of the fatty acids ultimately end up in the final product. Vit4ever independently tests every production batch for purity, identity, and microbiological safety, so you can be sure that the contents of the capsule match what is stated on the label. This is not a given: with a natural product like a berry extract, the composition can vary from batch to batch if it is not routinely checked. With 180 capsules in a bottle and a recommendation of one capsule per day, you effectively have a supply for about six months. Vit4ever recommends taking the capsule with a meal and plenty of water. The capsule itself is small enough to swallow easily, even for those who have difficulty with larger tablets or capsules from other brands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is in the berry\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saw palmetto berry naturally contains a mixture of fatty acids, phytosterols, and flavonoids. When making an extract, the focus is primarily on the fatty acid fraction, as this is considered the most characteristic of the berry. Free fatty acids such as lauric acid and oleic acid make up a large part of that mixture. Because the extract is standardized to 30 percent, every capsule contains the same ratio of these components. This is an important difference compared to a random extract without standardization, where the percentage of fatty acids can fluctuate from batch to batch without you as a user being able to see that on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this saw palmetto extract is a standardized, concentrated form of a herb with a long tradition, packaged in a simple vegan capsule. With 180 capsules per bottle and a recommendation of one capsule per day, you have a fixed supply at home for half a year, without colorings, fillers, or animal gelatin.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43622961381596,"sku":"vit4-016","price":21.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-saw-palmetto-extract-180-capsules-vit4ever-1.jpg?v=1793623861"},{"product_id":"hyaluronzuur-collageencomplex-vit4ever","title":"Hyaluronic Acid Collagen Complex | 240 capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHyaluronic Acid Collagen Complex by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis formula combines collagen, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, zinc, selenium, biotin and silicon in a capsule. This \u003cstrong\u003ecollagen complex\u003c\/strong\u003e from Vit4ever contains 1000 mg of beef collagen (Peptolap Light), 200 mg of hyaluronic acid, plus vitamin C, zinc, selenium, biotin and silicon. You get the whole package with two capsules per day. One container holds 240 capsules, enough for about four months.

The collagen in these capsules is hydrolysate, broken down into smaller pieces (peptides), from the Peptolap Light brand and derived from beef. Because it has already been broken down into smaller chains, it dissolves more easily than whole collagen. Hyaluronic acid is a molecule that also occurs naturally in the body and has a low molecular size here of 500 to 700 kDa, a measure that says something about the length of the molecular chain. The bamboo extract provides silicon, a trace element that occurs naturally in connective tissue. These three together form the basis of this collagen complex. The collagen hydrolysate is the largest component with 1000 mg per daily dose, followed by 200 mg of hyaluronic acid. Together they make up the largest part of the complex of over 1495 mg per two capsules. For collagen and hyaluronic acid, there are no permitted health claims under European legislation, so we only describe here what the substances are and how they are processed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin C from acerola\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin C in this formula comes from acerola, a natural source that naturally contains a lot of vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the bones and cartilage. In addition, vitamin C contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress, and to the normal function of the immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eZinc, selenium and biotin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula is supplemented with three nutrients that you more often see in skin and hair products. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, normal hair and normal nails. Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and normal nails. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and normal hair. The zinc is in this formula as zinc bisglycinate, a form that is linked to the amino acid glycine. The selenium is in it in two forms, selenomethionine and sodium selenite, and the biotin as D-biotin. Zinc, selenium and biotin are in an amount of at least 15% of the reference intake per daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is not in it, and who it is for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever keeps the formula bare: no magnesium stearate, no colorings or flavorings, no preservatives and no genetically modified ingredients. The product is free of lactose and gluten and is tested in an independent German laboratory. Good to know: the capsule shell is plant-based, but the collagen comes from beef. This is therefore an animal product, not suitable if you eat vegan or vegetarian. The hyaluronic acid itself is made via fermentation and is plant-based on its own, but that does not change the status of the collagen. The manufacturer states that there are no known allergens in the product, although that is no guarantee for an individual allergy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: collagen and hyaluronic acid in a container, supplemented with vitamin C, zinc, selenium, biotin and silicon.

The seeds of this plant contain a group of substances called silymarin, which is what this supplement is based on. Vit4ever processes 500 mg of standardized extract with 80 percent silymarin per capsule, equivalent to 400 mg of silymarin. The product is available in 180 or 365 capsules, with a dosage of one capsule per day, and is suitable for anyone looking for a fixed amount of silymarin without the hassle of powders or tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat silymarin exactly is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSilymarin is a collective name for a group of related compounds from the seed coat, including silybin, isosilybin, silychristine, and silydianin. Silybin usually makes up the largest part of the mixture. These substances are barely soluble in water, which explains why milk thistle is rarely sold as a separate powder in water: manufacturers almost always opt for a concentrated extract or a capsule. Milk thistle supports liver function.*\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy an extract with 80 percent standardization\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRaw milk thistle seeds naturally contain only a small percentage of silymarin, somewhere between 4 and 6 percent. To achieve a fixed amount per capsule, the extract is concentrated to a fixed standardization, in this case 80 percent. This means that of every 500 mg of extract, 400 mg is actually silymarin. This approach ensures a predictable, constant amount per capsule, instead of a varying amount that depends on the season, the soil type, or the origin of the plant. That is one of the reasons why the extract is often chosen over raw seeds or tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne capsule per day, two sizes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 400 mg of silymarin per capsule, the dosage schedule is simple: one capsule per day, no dividing over multiple times, no measuring powder, no bitter aftertaste from tea. Vit4ever offers this product in two sizes, namely 180 capsules for about half a year and 365 capsules for about a year, both based on that same daily dose of one capsule. Those who want to last longer often choose the larger package, while the smaller one is suitable for getting to know the product first without immediately stocking up for a year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material, making the entire product suitable for a vegan lifestyle. As a separating agent, Vit4ever uses a small amount of rice extract, necessary to prevent the extract powder from sticking together or to the machines during production. What you will not find: magnesium stearate, artificial colors, or preservatives. That makes the ingredient list short and clear, something that does not apply to every milk thistle product on the market. The capsules are also free from gelatin, lactose, and gluten, and the product is GMO-free. In addition, every produced batch is independently checked before it leaves the factory, so that the stated 80 percent silymarin is actually in the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this is a milk thistle extract with a fixed concentration of silymarin per capsule, packaged in a simple schedule of one capsule per day. The choice between 180 and 365 capsules mainly determines how long you can last without reordering.

That is a significant concentration, and it explains why you still get a substantial amount of leaf material in a relatively small tablet. Per daily dose of two tablets, you get 120 mg of this extract, containing 28.8 mg of flavone glycosides and 7.2 mg of ginkgolide terpene lactones. Ginkgo biloba helps maintain normal cognitive function*. In addition, ginkgo biloba supports peripheral blood circulation*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat Ginseng Adds to the Combination\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second extract comes from Korean (Panax) ginseng root, also in a 50:1 ratio, meaning that fifty parts of root material have also been reduced to a concentrated extract. Per daily dose, there is 40 mg of this extract, providing 8 mg of ginsenosides. Ginsenosides are compounds formed in the root during growth. Ginseng helps awaken and improve vitality* and contributes to alertness and a clear mind*. Ginseng helps maintain concentration* and contributes to natural defenses and proper immune system function*.

Ginkgo is standardized for flavone glycosides and terpene lactones, ginseng for ginsenosides. This means you know exactly how much of these substances you get per tablet, instead of relying on a raw powder form in which the concentration can fluctuate. The rice extract anti-caking agent and microcrystalline cellulose are purely functional; they ensure that the tablet maintains its shape and does not clump during production. Ginkgo plus ginseng in the same tablet also means you do not have to combine two bottles or plan two times of intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo plant extracts, each with its own story, brought together in a standardized ratio.

D-Mannose is a simple sugar (a monosaccharide) that naturally occurs in small amounts in some fruits and grains. Vit4ever incorporates this substance in an amount of 1500 mg per daily dose of 2 capsules, in a formula that has been deliberately kept simple. No extra herbs, no flavorings, no unnecessary fillers. Just D-Mannose and a plant-based capsule shell, nothing more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat D-Mannose actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-Mannose is structurally similar to glucose, but your body processes it differently. While glucose is largely broken down for energy, D-Mannose is only converted to a limited extent in your metabolism. There is no approved health claim for D-mannose; therefore, we are only describing here what it is, how it is made, and how much is in each capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom corn fermentation to capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe D-Mannose in this product is not extracted directly from fruit, as that would be economically unfeasible. Instead, the raw material is obtained through corn fermentation: starch from corn is converted into pure D-Mannose in a controlled process. This method produces a consistent, pure raw material without the varying composition that you sometimes encounter with plant extracts. The end result is a white, crystalline powder that is then mechanically dosed into the capsules. Manufacturers choose fermentation because the process is easy to control and consistently produces the same level of purity, batch after batch. At Vit4ever, every batch of raw material is checked before it is processed into capsules, so that you get the same composition package after package. That is immediately the difference with cheaper, non-fermented variants: they can vary greatly in purity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the capsule shell is plant-based\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, often abbreviated as HPMC. This is a substance derived from cellulose and therefore completely plant-based, unlike the traditional gelatin capsule which is made from animal collagen. For people who live a vegetarian or vegan lifestyle, or who simply prefer not to take animal-derived ingredients, this is a practical difference. HPMC capsules are also more stable in varying humidity than gelatin, which allows for a longer shelf life of the contents. Vit4ever deliberately chooses this version, even though gelatin is often cheaper to produce. The result is a capsule that is easy to swallow and that, just like the contents, is free from animal-derived ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage, use and comparing D-Mannose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 750 mg of D-Mannose, and the recommended daily dose of 2 capsules thus amounts to 1500 mg per day. That is an amount that aligns with what is used in most D-Mannose supplements on the market, often somewhere between 1000 and 2000 mg per day. With 180 capsules per package, you get 90 daily doses, well over three months with daily use of 2 capsules. Do not exceed the recommended daily amount. D-Mannose is also offered as a loose powder in the supplement market. Powder has the advantage that you can freely adjust the amount, but it does require measuring and dissolving in water. A capsule like this one from Vit4ever gives you a fixed, pre-measured amount each time, without the hassle of a measuring spoon. This formula contains only D-mannose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuying a D-Mannose supplement is for many people mainly a matter of comparing purity and dosage. With Vit4ever D-Mannose 1500mg you know exactly what you are taking: a single substance, clearly dosed, without additives that unnecessarily complicate the composition.

This tablet contains 10,000 mcg, or 20,000% of the reference intake. Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin. Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. In addition, biotin contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, which means that it helps in the processes by which your body gets energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Biotin also contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function, two processes that are not directly visible but are constantly running in the background.

That is zinc bound to the amino acid glycine. Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair, zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal nails, and zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin. Zinc also plays a role in the cell division process, and zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. Zinc also contributes to normal protein synthesis and to normal DNA synthesis. In addition, zinc contributes to a normal metabolism of macronutrients, a normal carbohydrate metabolism, and a normal metabolism of fatty acids, and to the maintenance of normal bones. Zinc also contributes to normal cognitive function and to the maintenance of normal vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSelenium as the third building block\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third component is selenium, added here as sodium selenite, with 55 mcg per tablet. Selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and selenium contributes to the maintenance of normal nails. In addition, selenium contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Selenium is a trace element of which the body needs small amounts. Selenium contributes to the normal functioning of the thyroid gland and to the normal functioning of the immune system. This tablet provides 55 mcg, which corresponds to 100% of the reference intake, an amount that aligns with what is considered common in most European supplements. By the way, sodium selenite is one of the most commonly used forms of selenium in supplements, along with, for example, selenomethionine or selenium yeast.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne tablet, a compact routine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith one tablet per day, you combine three substances in a tablet, without having to puzzle with multiple supplements next to each other.

The bottle contains 365 tablets, so you basically have enough for a year with one purchase, without having to reorder in between.

No tablet you have to swallow whole, but a fine hydrolysate that you dose and mix yourself into almost any drink or dish. Vit4ever makes this powder from bovine collagen, types I and III, and processes it into easily soluble peptides. It is suitable for those who prefer not to take pills and want control over the daily amount. If you combine several supplements, a loose powder is also often easier to dose than adding another tablet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat a hydrolysate actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCollagen itself is a long, tough protein. Your body produces it naturally in the skin, bones, tendons, and cartilage. To make it into a powder that dissolves in water, that long protein must first be broken into pieces. This process is called hydrolysis: enzymes cut the collagen chain into small peptide fractions of approximately 2 kDa. This is exactly where the difference with a tablet or capsule lies. With a tablet, the manufacturer compresses the collagen powder into a solid form, using binders to hold everything together. With this collagen powder, everything remains loose, with peptides small enough to dissolve without lumps in water, juice, coffee, or yogurt. The protein content of this hydrolysate is 93 percent, and its fine structure is exactly why a powder is more practical than a solid form. A tablet must always contain a fixed amount per piece, while a powder adapts to the amount of liquid you stir it into. This also makes it easier to combine with breakfast or a snack, rather than taking a separate pill on its own alongside your food or drink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom beef skin to fine powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raw material for this powder starts as beef skin and bones, where collagen naturally exists as a firm, fibrous tissue. Before hydrolysis takes place, this raw material is first cleaned and defatted, so that only the collagen itself remains. Only then does the enzymatic splitting follow, which creates small peptides. After hydrolysis, the solution is filtered and dried into the fine powder you find in the package. This sequence, from raw tissue to purified hydrolysate, also determines why the final product dissolves so well: the smaller the peptide fraction after splitting, the more easily the powder disperses in liquid without forming lumps. It is the same reason instant coffee dissolves faster than ground coffee beans, only applied to a protein instead of a plant-based extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetermining the dosage yourself in powder form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fixed daily portion is 16 grams, using the included scoop. What many people do not know: with powder, you can just as easily adjust that amount to suit your own pace, something that is not possible with a pre-pressed tablet or capsule. If you want a smaller portion in your morning coffee and the rest later in a smoothie, simply divide the scoop throughout the day. The powder itself has almost no taste or smell, so it does not change the drink you stir it into. Dissolve one portion in approximately 300 milliliters of liquid, and the mixture remains clear without a layer or sediment at the bottom of the glass. Warm water or hot coffee dissolves the powder just as well as cold water, so you are not restricted to a specific temperature. In practice, this means you can just as easily stir it into your coffee in the morning as into a glass of water before bed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure raw material without additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe raw material behind this powder is a bovine collagen hydrolysate of types I and III, and that is also the only thing in the package. Vit4ever does not add magnesium stearate, sugar, flavorings, or fillers to this powder, something that does happen with some other forms of collagen to enable them to be pressed into a tablet. The product is lactose-free and gluten-free. Please note: because the raw material comes from cattle, this powder is not suitable for vegans or vegetarians. Every produced batch is independently tested in a laboratory, so that the composition remains consistent with what is stated on the packaging. This means that with every new package, you know that the ratio of collagen to protein remains the same as with your previous purchase, even though the powder comes from a different production batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this collagen powder is the form you control yourself, not a fixed tablet size that you are tied to. With 500 or 1000 grams per package, you determine how often, how much, and what you mix it into. With 500 grams, you get approximately 31 daily portions; with 1000 grams, that doubles, so you can choose which supply best suits your usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWant to know more about collagen in general?

This is convenient if you do not want to manage two separate bottles, but do want to maintain a fixed ratio between the two minerals. For those who think about calcium and magnesium daily, this is a simple way to get both in a fixed dose, without having to do the calculations yourself with separate supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy calcium and magnesium are often taken together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder why calcium and magnesium are offered in combination. Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones and normal teeth. Magnesium also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. In addition, both minerals contribute to the normal function of the muscles. Calcium also plays a role in the process of cell division and differentiation, and calcium contributes to normal blood clotting. Calcium also contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism, just as magnesium does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 2:1 calcium magnesium ratio explained\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2:1 calcium magnesium ratio means that there are two parts calcium to one part magnesium. Per tablet, that is 400 mg calcium and 200 mg magnesium, and per daily dose of 2 tablets, therefore 800 mg calcium and 400 mg magnesium. This ratio appears frequently in mineral formulas. The formula uses calcium carbonate as a calcium source and magnesium carbonate plus magnesium oxide as magnesium sources. These are widely used, stable mineral salts that can be compressed well into tablet form, which explains why this combination often comes on the market as a tablet and not as a capsule. Calcium carbonate is also one of the most common calcium sources in supplements, simply because it provides relatively much calcium per gram. Magnesium oxide also contains relatively much elemental magnesium per unit of weight, which helps to keep the tablet compact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat magnesium does in addition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the shared role with calcium, magnesium has a number of its own tasks. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, to the normal function of the nervous system and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to normal protein synthesis, to normal psychological function and to the electrolyte balance. The latter, the electrolyte balance, is about the ratio of minerals such as sodium, potassium and magnesium in your body fluids. Magnesium also plays a role in the cell division process, just as calcium does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is this calcium magnesium supplement interesting for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is particularly interesting for those who are specifically looking for a calcium magnesium combination in a fixed ratio, instead of combining two separate supplements. It saves calculation work: you do not have to figure out yourself how many milligrams of calcium and magnesium you combine per day, because that is already fixed in the tablet. The tablet form is also easy to dose, you simply take 2 tablets per day with enough liquid. The packaging is also available in two sizes, 180 or 365 tablets, so you can choose between a smaller supply or a year's supply at once.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium and magnesium remain two of the best-known minerals in nutrition.

A daily serving of 3 capsules provides 1950 mg of organic ashwagandha root powder. The formula also consists only of a plant-based capsule shell, without added herbs, extracts or fillers. The root powder comes from controlled organic cultivation and is processed in India.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha is the common name for Withania somnifera, a shrub from the nightshade family that originally grows in the dry regions of India, Africa and the Middle East. The root of this plant is mainly used. The root naturally contains a group of substances called withanolides, in addition to various alkaloids. There are no EU-approved health claims for ashwagandha. Ashwagandha is also known as Indian ginseng, although botanically it is not a ginseng. Therefore, this page is limited to information about composition, origin and use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRoot powder instead of a standardized extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product contains the complete root powder, not an extract with a standardized content of withanolides. The difference lies in the processing: with an extract, the plant is concentrated to a certain percentage of a specific group of substances, while root powder contains the ground root in its entirety. As a result, the composition remains close to the original plant, with the full spectrum of substances that occur naturally in the root. Both forms have their own application: an extract is more compact and can be dosed more precisely for a specific group of substances, while root powder reflects the entire root. Those who prefer to use a concentrated extract with a fixed percentage of withanolides usually choose a different type of ashwagandha product; this powder in capsule form is intended for those who want to use the plant in its most original form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin and processing of the root powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ashwagandha root powder in this product comes directly from India, where the plant grows under the climatic conditions in which it naturally thrives best. According to the provided product information, the powder is carefully processed there to preserve the spectrum of plant substances. The organic certification concerns the cultivation method: no synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilizers during the cultivation of the plant. The capsule form also has a practical advantage: ashwagandha root powder has a distinctly earthy taste on its own that not everyone enjoys. By processing it in a capsule, you do not have to put up with that taste every day. Unlike loose herbal tea or dried powder that you have to weigh yourself, with a capsule you know exactly how many grams of root powder you are taking at a time, without having to weigh or mix it yourself. This way you know where the raw material comes from and under what conditions it was grown, even though that says nothing about a specific effect of the product. What many people do not know: the name ashwagandha is said to be derived from Sanskrit and refers to the smell of the root, which is reminiscent of that of a horse. That immediately explains the nickname 'horse smell' that you come across in older texts about the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne jar contains 365 capsules.

Swallow the capsules whole with sufficient liquid and stick to the recommended daily amount. This product is not intended for pregnant women, breastfeeding women or children, and those who use medication or have a thyroid condition should consult a doctor or pharmacist beforehand. If in doubt about the correct dosage for your situation, a conversation with a doctor or pharmacist is always the safest first step, especially if you already use medication or have an existing condition that requires attention.

This combination makes the salt highly soluble in water, which is exactly why this form is so frequently used in supplements. Vit4ever uses trimagnesium dicitrate, with 360 mg of elemental magnesium per daily dose of three capsules. The capsules are vegan and the bottle contains 365 pieces, enough for over four months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat trimagnesium dicitrate exactly is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name sounds complicated, but the principle behind this magnesium citrate is simple. Trimagnesium dicitrate consists of three magnesium ions bonded to two citrate molecules, hence the prefixes 'tri' and 'di'. The difference with free citric acid or ordinary table salt-like magnesium compounds lies in the structure: citrate is an organic acid residue, not an inorganic salt like magnesium oxide. Because of this, it dissolves more easily in moisture. Each capsule of Vit4ever contains 750 mg of trimagnesium dicitrate, of which 120 mg is elemental magnesium; the rest is the citrate part of the compound itself. Anyone looking for a concentrated form of magnesium citrate will quickly come across this compound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference with magnesium oxide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium oxide is the cheapest and most common form in supplements, simply because you get more elemental magnesium per gram with it. Oxide dissolves poorly in water, while citrate dissolves well. Per capsule, you get less elemental magnesium with citrate than with oxide; therefore, the amount of elemental magnesium is always stated on the label, so that you can fairly compare products.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat your body uses magnesium for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the normal functioning of the muscles.

L-lysine is one of the amino acids from which proteins are built. Vit4ever uses L-lysine HCl as a source, a salt form of the amino acid that is stable in tablet form and gives the tablet its structure. Many people looking for an amino acid supplement wonder why this particular salt form is used: HCl forms of amino acids are generally highly soluble and remain stable during the product's shelf life. However, that is not the only reason: a salt form can also be pressed into a firm tablet more easily than a loose, unbound amino acid, which in practice results in a tablet that does not crumble easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e1000 mg L-lysine per tablet\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach tablet provides 1000 mg of L-lysine. At the recommended dosage of two tablets per day, you get 2000 mg, in a single dose or spread throughout the day. The formula has been deliberately kept simple: besides L-lysine HCl, the tablet only contains microcrystalline cellulose as a filler, a substance that ensures the proper cohesion and shape of the tablet without diluting the L-lysine. There are no colorings, flavorings or artificial preservatives. That makes the ingredient list of these L-lysine tablets short and clear, something that does not apply to every supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo sizes for different uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis product is available in 160 tablets and 365 tablets, so you can choose between a smaller package to try it out or a larger supply for longer-term use. At two tablets per day, the smaller bottle lasts approximately 80 days, the larger bottle approximately 182 days. People trying these tablets for the first time often start with the smaller package; those who have been using it for longer usually choose the larger bottle for the convenience of reordering less often. The size of the tablet itself is normal and comparable to other amino acid supplements, so taking it with some water is effortless. Anyone torn between the two sizes can simply do the math: with several months of continuous use, the larger bottle is usually more economical per tablet, while the smaller package takes up less space in the cabinet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and independently tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tablets are one hundred percent vegan and contain no animal-derived ingredients.

Every produced batch is independently tested in a laboratory for content and purity, so that the amount of L-lysine on the label matches what is actually in the tablet. That provides a certain level of assurance, even though you as a buyer cannot see or taste that yourself in the product. Some people combine these tablets with other amino acid supplements in their daily routine, while others use them separately.

To achieve 500 mg of trans-resveratrol per capsule, you would need unrealistic quantities of grapes. Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum) is a rhizome that is naturally much richer in this substance and is also easier to grow and harvest than wine grapes. Manufacturers have therefore been using the plant for decades as a source of resveratrol extracts, even though the plant is primarily known in Europe as a stubborn weed that is difficult to eradicate. Vit4ever standardizes the extract to 98 percent, so that the amount per capsule remains constant, regardless of which harvest is processed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference between cis- and trans-resveratrol\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResveratrol exists in two spatial forms: cis and trans. They consist of the same atoms, but the arrangement differs, much like a left- and right-handed glove made from the same material but not fitting together. Trans-resveratrol is the more stable form and the one that is standardized in extracts. Light and heat can gradually convert trans-resveratrol into the cis form, which explains why resveratrol products are often in light-proof packaging and why a cool, dark storage place is advisable. In this product, the trans form is specifically measured and dosed, not the total of both forms together. You do not always see this distinction clearly on every label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePiperine from black pepper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the knotweed extract, each capsule contains a black pepper extract, standardized to 95 percent piperine, the alkaloid that gives black pepper its sharp taste. Piperine is often processed in supplements together with plant extracts, a combination that can be seen in many formulas with polyphenols or curcuminoids. In this capsule, it is incorporated in a fixed ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules with a limited list of ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based raw material, making the entire product vegan and suitable for people who do not want to use gelatin. A small amount of rice extract has been added as an anti-caking agent, necessary to evenly distribute the powder during production and prevent clumping. Furthermore, the formula contains no flavorings or colorings. With an intake of one capsule per day, a bottle of 60 capsules will last two months. This also makes resveratrol in this form easier to dose than if you were trying to get the substance through food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResveratrol remains one of the better-known polyphenols from the plant world, precisely because it is so closely associated with grapes and red wine. Vit4ever opts for a concentrated source instead of a diluted one, with a fixed, standardized amount of trans-resveratrol per capsule and a piperine extract that has been added in a fixed ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43622975275228,"sku":"vit4-237","price":29.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-resveratrol-500mg-herstel-1.jpg?v=1793971445"},{"product_id":"vitamine-b12-vit4ever","title":"Vitamin B12 500µg Raspberry (Methylcobalamin) | 365 Lozenges | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eRaspberry Vitamin B12 from Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwallowing a tablet whole is not pleasant for everyone, and it doesn't have to be with this \u003cstrong\u003evitamin B12\u003c\/strong\u003e from Vit4ever.

Vitamin B12 is mainly found in animal products such as meat, fish, eggs and dairy; for vegans, a B12 supplement is recommended. The B12 in this raspberry tablet is produced through fermentation, which makes it suitable for a 100% vegan lifestyle. Vitamin B12 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal formation of red blood cells. It also contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism, normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the immune system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe reference intake for B12 is 2.5 micrograms per day, while this tablet contains 500 (20,000% of the reference intake).

In zinc bisglycinate, each zinc particle is linked to two molecules of glycine, an amino acid. Such a link is called a chelate. Vit4ever also sells a zinc complex in which three forms are combined: bisglycinate, gluconate, and citrate. This product is deliberately the opposite of that. There is only one zinc compound in the tablet, namely bisglycinate. For those who prefer working with a single raw material instead of a combination of three salt forms, this is the logical choice. You know exactly which form of zinc you are taking and in what quantity, without the dosage being split over multiple chelates at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy L-histidine is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-histidine is an amino acid that your body produces only in small quantities on its own.

That is an addition you will not find in most individual zinc tablets, and certainly not in a complex with multiple zinc forms together.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAlbion as the source of the zinc chelate\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe zinc bisglycinate in this product comes from Albion, the company that pioneered the amino acid chelate technology. Many manufacturers do not state exactly which form or source of zinc is used. Vit4ever deliberately chooses this standardized raw material, recognizable by the name Albion on the label. This makes this product a targeted choice for anyone looking for a specific, well-documented form of zinc instead of an anonymous mineral salt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCleanly formulated and without copper\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tablets contain no copper.

Vit4ever processes a purified form of this, anhydrous caffeine, into a tablet with a fixed dosage of 200 mg. This makes it a practical alternative for those who prefer to measure the amount of caffeine precisely rather than estimate it based on a cup of coffee, tea or energy drink. In addition to caffeine, the tablet contains several excipients for the solid form of the tablet; you can find the full list of ingredients further down on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout caffeine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaffeine belongs to the group of substances known as xanthines. How quickly your body breaks down caffeine varies greatly from person to person and depends on factors such as age, medication use and whether you regularly consume products containing caffeine. In the liver, caffeine is gradually converted into other substances, which your body then eliminates through the kidneys.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a tablet with a fixed dosage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDepending on the preparation method and type of bean, a cup of coffee contains somewhere between 40 and 120 mg of caffeine. This variation makes it difficult to know exactly how much you consume in a day. With this tablet from Vit4ever, that is fixed at 200 mg per tablet, without the sugars or calories found in many energy drinks. For those who prefer not to drink extra liquid or want to avoid an energy drink, a tablet with anhydrous caffeine is a compact alternative. The recommended dosage is 1 tablet per day, preferably not late in the day. If you also drink coffee, tea or cola, it is a good idea to include the caffeine from those sources in your total daily intake, so that you do not unintentionally exceed an amount that makes you feel uncomfortable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSensitivity varies from person to person\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNot everyone reacts the same way to caffeine. Some people break down the substance quickly, while others break it down slowly. Age, body weight and sensitivity also play a role. High intake can cause symptoms such as restlessness or heart palpitations; therefore, stick to the recommended dosage and read the safety information on this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCombining with other caffeine sources\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCaffeine is not only found in coffee and tea, but also in cola, energy drinks, some painkillers and pure chocolate. When using this tablet, it is therefore wise to monitor your total caffeine intake throughout the day, especially if you also use other products containing caffeine. A tablet with a fixed amount of 200 mg makes counting easier than with a cup of coffee, whose strength varies with each preparation. This way, you know exactly how much caffeine you are adding to what you already consume through food and drink, which is especially useful on days when you already drink a lot of coffee or tea. If you are using a tablet with this dosage for the first time, it is wise to start at a time when you can properly assess how your body reacts, for example on the weekend.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCurrent EU regulations do not allow health claims for caffeine. Vit4ever therefore limits the information to composition, dosage and use.

All three are centuries-old plants, and Vit4ever bundles them in a practical capsule. Suitable for those looking for a standardized, plant-based formula without combining separate bottles, with a fixed daily dose. Each of the three extracts is standardized to a characteristic plant substance, so that the composition remains the same per dose, batch after batch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat silymarin from milk thistle is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMilk thistle supports liver function.* Milk thistle seed naturally contains silymarin, a complex of plant substances (called flavonolignans). This milk thistle complex is standardized to 80% silymarin from a 25:1 extract. Such a ratio means that 25 kilos of fresh plant are needed to make 1 kilo of extract, so you know exactly how much you are getting. Per daily dose of 2 capsules, that provides 500 mg of milk thistle extract, of which 400 mg is silymarin. Milk thistle also helps maintain liver function and supports digestion*. The plant also contributes to the maintenance of normal heart function*. The difference lies in the standardization: not every milk thistle extract on the market provides the same 80% silymarin, while precisely that percentage determines how much silymarin you get per dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eArtichoke extract with cynarin\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to milk thistle, the formula contains 350 mg of artichoke extract per daily dose, standardized to at least 2.5% cynarin. Cynarin is a bitter substance that naturally occurs in the leaves of the artichoke plant. The difference with a separate artichoke preparation lies in the combination: here you get artichoke together with two other plant extracts in a capsule, instead of as a standalone supplement. In short: you do not need to purchase a separate artichoke preparation if you are already choosing this milk thistle complex.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDandelion root as the third component\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe third part of this formula is dandelion root extract, 150 mg per daily dose from a 10:1 extract. Dandelion root contains bitter substances and has traditionally been used in herbal preparations. The root is often mentioned together with milk thistle and artichoke, because the three plants each have a slightly different bitter substance composition. Thus, dandelion root complements the other two extracts in a composite formula, without you needing a separate preparation. Dandelion grows in large parts of Europe, which explains why these three plants often appear in combination.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules, clear composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell of this milk thistle artichoke dandelion complex consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based fiber. There are no animal-derived ingredients in the capsules and no unnecessary fillers in the formula: only the three plant extracts and the capsule shell. Many people wonder if a herbal complex with three extracts is still clear in terms of the ingredient list. With this product, that remains limited to four lines: three extracts and the capsule shell, without colorings or flavorings. With 365 capsules per package and a daily dose of 2 pieces, you can use this milk thistle complex for about half a year without reordering. That makes it a practical choice if you prefer not to order a new bottle every month. In practice, that also means that the dose per capsule remains constant throughout the entire duration of the bottle, something that is not a given with every herbal preparation.

With this 800 mg variant, that is not necessary: one capsule is sufficient for the full daily dose. In practice, this mainly makes a difference in the number of capsules you take daily, not in the number of bottles you need: with both variants from Vit4ever, 240 capsules will last approximately eight months. Convenient for those who prefer taking fewer capsules but still want to get the same total amount of NAC. Vit4ever also offers a 600 mg variant of NAC, so those who prefer a lower dosage per capsule have an alternative within the same brand. A higher dosage per capsule is not necessarily better; it is mainly a different way to achieve the same daily amount. For those who have difficulty swallowing multiple capsules per day, this can be practical; for those who prefer dosing in smaller steps, the 600 mg variant is a more logical alternative. Both choices are essentially a matter of personal preference when taking them, not a difference in the raw material itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe N-acetyl form of L-cysteine and where cysteine comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNAC stands for N-acetyl L-cysteine: the amino acid L-cysteine with an acetyl group attached to it. Without that group, L-cysteine is a fairly unstable substance that reacts quickly with oxygen and other molecules. With the acetyl group, the raw material remains more stable, making NAC the common choice in supplements. The acetyl group itself does not change the amino acid core; it is purely a matter of chemical stability during production and storage. Cysteine is also naturally found in protein-rich foods: meat, fish, eggs, dairy, and some legumes contain it. The amount you get from these varies greatly per meal and per diet. An NAC capsule always provides the same fixed amount of 800 mg per piece, regardless of your diet. There are no approved health claims for NAC.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure, vegan and tested per batch\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule contains exclusively N-acetyl-L-cysteine and a plant-based shell of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, without gelatin.

Those who are undecided between the 600 mg and the 800 mg variant can best consider how they prefer to dose. Both variants from Vit4ever contain the same pure N-acetyl-L-cysteine, in the same vegan capsule and with the same laboratory testing per batch.

This is \u003cstrong\u003emagnesium citrate powder\u003c\/strong\u003e from Vit4ever: 600 grams of magnesium hydrogen citrate, allowing you to decide how much you take each day. No fixed capsule content, no tablet to swallow, but a powder that dissolves in water or juice. For those who have difficulty swallowing or simply prefer to adjust the dose themselves, this makes a real difference compared to the capsule and tablet versions of this ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy choose the powder form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith capsules or tablets, you are stuck with the amount the manufacturer has put in them. If you want slightly less or slightly more, you have to open half capsules or break tablets, which remains difficult to do accurately. With powder, it works differently. You scoop it out, stir it into water or fruit juice, and adjust the amount within the recommended daily intake. You can also divide the daily dose throughout the day, for example, half in the morning and half in the evening. Magnesium hydrogen citrate, the form Vit4ever uses, dissolves well. You will taste a slightly sour flavor, characteristic of citrate compounds, but no powder is left at the bottom of the glass, as does happen with some other forms of magnesium. Anyone who has ever used a magnesium effervescent tablet will know the sediment that sometimes remains after fizzing. With this powder, when stirred well, that does not happen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat sets magnesium citrate apart from other forms\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium is linked to various substances in supplements: oxide, citrate, bisglycinate, malate. The difference lies, among other things, in solubility. Magnesium oxide dissolves poorly in water. Magnesium citrate, on the other hand, dissolves well, which explains why it is so well suited for a powder form: a substance that dissolves poorly would be of little use as a drink powder. This powder contains 8 percent elemental magnesium; the rest is the citrate part of the compound. That may sound low, but the element magnesium is never available on its own; it is always bound to a carrier, whether that is citrate, oxide, or an amino acid. With bisglycinate, the form you more often encounter in capsules, that carrier is an amino acid, which makes it less suitable for dissolving in large quantities. For a powder that you dissolve in a drinkable amount, citrate is therefore a logical choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much powder you need per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA daily dose of 3 scoops, totaling 4.5 grams of powder, provides 360 mg of elemental magnesium. That is 96 percent of the reference intake for adults. Because you scoop it yourself instead of taking a fixed capsule, you can divide that amount over several times a day if desired. Many people wonder whether powder is less accurate to dose than a capsule. In practice, it is not that difficult: with the included scoop, you get a consistent amount per scoop, comparable to the accuracy of a tablet press. Level off the scoop with the edge of the packaging and you will always have the same amount of powder. By the way, that is also the answer to a frequently asked question: how can you be sure that you are not taking too much or too little with a powder.

No binders, no anti-caking agents, no sweetener or flavoring, unlike some magnesium effervescent tablets. This also means that no capsule material is needed, which naturally makes this product suitable for those who prefer not to take anything animal-derived or synthetic besides the magnesium citrate itself. It is vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free. A 600-gram bag is good for approximately 130 doses at the recommended daily dose, more than four months with daily use. For comparison: with a capsule product with a comparable dose, you often buy separate bottles of 90 to 180 pieces, so you have to purchase several for the same period. With a powder bag of this size, you pay once for a longer period and do not have to reorder as often.

Vit4ever supplies methylsulfonylmethane as a fine, crystalline powder with a purity of 99.9 percent. You get a resealable 1 kg bag with a measuring scoop, so you can easily measure out your daily dose and stir it into food or drink. This ease of use is exactly what makes powder different from a tablet with a fixed dose per piece, especially for those who prefer to measure out the amount themselves instead of being tied to a fixed unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA single ingredient, 99.9 percent pure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis MSM powder consists of exactly one ingredient: pure methylsulfonylmethane with a stated purity of 99.9 percent. It contains no fillers, flavorings, colorings, or stabilizers. For those who prefer to determine how much they take in themselves, within the recommended daily amount, and want to combine that with other loose powders in their own mix, this is a practical advantage. You know exactly what is in the bag and what you are adding to your dish or drink daily, without the hassle of extra ingredients you do not need. This also makes it easier to gradually build up the amount, something that is less convenient with a fixed tablet of, for example, 500 mg. This also makes this powder suitable for those who create their own combination of loose supplements, where you determine the proportions yourself instead of being tied to a ready-made tablet. MSM powder is also sometimes used as an addition to pet food, although, of course, different dosage guidelines apply for pets than for humans, and this product is intended for human consumption.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFine grind for even mixing\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn practice, the particle size of MSM powder determines how well it mixes. This powder has a fine mesh of 40 to 80, a measure that indicates how finely the crystals are ground: the higher the mesh number, the finer the particles. The finer the grind, the more evenly the powder disperses in a cold drink or dish, without lumps at the bottom of your glass. Coarser MSM crystals, with a lower mesh number, dissolve more slowly and are more likely to leave a grainy layer. MSM naturally has a slightly bitter, sulfurous taste, comparable to what some people describe as a faint chlorine taste. In pure water, that taste often stands out more, while the same taste in yogurt, a smoothie, or a glass of juice usually stands out less because other flavors overpower it. Some people therefore prefer to stir it into a strongly flavored drink rather than plain water, purely for convenience when taking it, so that the daily intake does not become a barrier.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLarge package with measuring scoop\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith the included measuring scoop, you keep your daily intake consistent without needing a kitchen scale every time. At two scoops, together approximately 2.5 g, per day, the 1 kg bag will last you a long time: about 440 doses, or more than a year with daily use. That is immediately the difference with the smaller tablet packages: with bulk powder you usually pay less per gram, although it remains a matter of personal preference whether you prefer to measure or take a fixed tablet without thinking about it. Every production batch of this MSM powder is independently tested for content and purity, so that the quality remains consistent from bag to bag and you know that you are always getting the same product. This is at least as important with a pure, uncoated powder as it is with a tablet, because there is no coating or filler that could conceal small deviations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe powder is vegan and contains no animal-derived ingredients. It contains no anti-caking agents, artificial colors, or flavorings, which also explains why the powder can clump slightly in humid air: without an anti-caking agent, the crystals are simply more sensitive to moisture. Therefore, keep the bag well closed, dry, and at room temperature, preferably with the original zipper tightly sealed after use. This keeps the crystal structure intact and allows you to mix the powder just as easily after months as on the day you opened the bag. If the powder does clump slightly, it is not a sign of spoilage; a short stir with the measuring scoop effortlessly dissolves most lumps. Preferably use a dry, clean spoon to prevent extra moisture from entering the bag, so that the rest of the contents remain dry and easy to scoop until the last portion.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43676076146908,"sku":"vit4-208","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-msm-poeder-1-kg-1100-g-99-9-zuiver-kristallijn-1.jpg?v=1793623873"},{"product_id":"l-trypotophan-500","title":"L-Tryptophan 500mg | 365 Capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eL-Tryptophan 500mg Capsules by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eL-Tryptophan\u003c\/strong\u003e is an essential amino acid, meaning your body cannot produce it on its own and you obtain it through your diet.

Vit4ever uses pure L-tryptophan without binding to other substances, so the capsule provides a single, measurable amount. The ring structure also makes the molecule sensitive to degradation by light and heat, which partly explains why light-protected, cool storage is recommended for this type of amino acid supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and clean-label\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe formula is deliberately simple: L-tryptophan in a plant-based capsule with a few excipients, without artificial colors, fragrances, or flavorings. You can find the full list of ingredients further down on this page. This makes this L-tryptophan suitable for vegans and vegetarians, and for those who choose a supplement with a short list of ingredients. The capsule shell consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based alternative to the gelatin used in traditional capsules. Those who prefer not to have animal-derived components in a supplement do not need to worry about the origin of the capsule shell with this product.

Vit4ever processes this grass into powder and puts it into vegetable capsules. A daily dose of 3 capsules provides 1500 mg of organic barley grass powder. This is convenient for those who prefer not to mix the grass as a drink, as many people find the taste of loose powder quite strong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat's in barley grass powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe difference between barley grass juice and barley grass powder lies in what remains after processing. With juice, the grass is pressed and the fiber is left behind. With powder, the entire leaf is dried and ground, including the plant's fiber structure. As a result, a daily dose of 3 capsules also contains a small amount of fiber, carbohydrates, and protein from the plant itself. Vit4ever exclusively uses organically grown barley grass for this, without further processing with added flavors or colorings. What stands out in the composition: the fiber content is relatively high compared to other nutrients, which is consistent with a product made from the entire grass blade instead of just the pressed juice. There is also a small amount of minerals naturally present in the leaf, simply because the plant absorbs them from the soil during growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy the capsule form is practical\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat many people don't know: barley grass powder naturally has a strong, grassy smell and taste that not everyone finds pleasant. By encapsulating the powder, you don't have to taste it. You simply take the capsules with a glass of water, just like other supplements. Vit4ever's capsule shell consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based substance that serves as a substitute for animal gelatin. This makes the product suitable for vegans or vegetarians. It also saves weighing and mixing: with powder, you have to measure out a scoop each time and stir it into water or juice, while a capsule already contains a fixed amount. For on the go or at the office, this is a practical difference; you don't need a shaker or extra glassware.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow barley grass is grown and processed\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBarley grass is harvested at an early growth stage, usually a few weeks after sowing. At that point, the leaf is still completely green, and the plant has not yet formed an ear. After harvesting, the grass is quickly dried and finely ground into a powder with a fine, green texture. Because the harvest occurs so early, the composition of barley grass differs significantly from barley as a grain product: it contains no starchy grain, only the young leaf. This also makes barley grass powder suitable for people who prefer not to consume grain kernels, although it does contain traces of the grass family to which barley belongs. Many people wonder why barley grass, and not, for example, wheatgrass, is used. The answer lies mainly in tradition and availability: barley grows well in much of Europe and has therefore been cultivated longer for this type of powder. The short growing period also means that results are relatively quick per harvest, which also makes cultivation practically attractive for growers. With the organic variant, there is the additional benefit that no synthetic pesticides or artificial fertilizers are used, and Vit4ever certifies its origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDaily amount and what to expect\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA jar of 365 capsules is exactly enough for 121 daily doses at the recommended amount of 3 capsules per day. In practice, this means a fixed routine: the same time every day, the same amount. Some people combine barley grass powder with other green foods, while others use it as a standalone part of their daily habits. Barley grass does not replace a varied diet and is not intended to replace vegetables or fruit. It is simply a concentrated form of young grass blade in an easy-to-dose capsule, without the hassle of weighing or mixing powder. Those who prefer to work with powder instead of capsules can also opt for the loose powder variant of the same barley grass, which uses the same raw material but is better suited for mixing into a smoothie or glass of water. Which form is best depends mainly on your own habits: capsules for on-the-go convenience, powder for those who prefer to mix with other ingredients. This way, you choose how barley grass best fits into your daily routine, without the form changing anything about the origin of the powder.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43676085321948,"sku":"vit4-255","price":19.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-bio-gerstegras-365-1.jpg?v=1793623874"},{"product_id":"vitmaine-c-1000mg-365","title":"Vitamin C + Rosehip Extract + Citrus Bioflavonoids | 1000mg | 365 Tablets | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eVitamin C 1000mg Time Release from Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis \u003cstrong\u003evitamin C 1000mg\u003c\/strong\u003e has a delayed release (time release).

Vit4ever processes them alongside the ascorbic acid, so that the tablet remains closer to the natural combination found in fruit. Bioflavonoids and rosehip do not have an approved EU health claim themselves. The amounts of rosehip extract and citrus bioflavonoids are not specified separately on the label.

In addition, vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin C also contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, blood vessels, cartilage, teeth and gums, to the normal function of the nervous system, to normal psychological function and to the regeneration of the reduced form of vitamin E. Furthermore, vitamin C increases iron absorption and contributes to the maintenance of the normal function of the immune system during and after heavy physical exertion; that beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg above the recommended daily intake of vitamin C.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePractical: a year's worth of vitamin C in a jar\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 365 tablets in a jar, you only need to order this product once a year if you take one tablet daily.

Vit4ever has chosen the tartrate form, l-carnitine bound to tartaric acid, in a dosage of 750mg per capsule. Four capsules per day provide 3000mg of l-carnitine tartrate, of which 2000mg is pure l-carnitine.

This production mainly takes place in the liver and kidneys. L-carnitine is also naturally found in meat and fish, while plant-based foods contain hardly any.

In l-carnitine tartrate, the amino acid is coupled with tartaric acid, an acid that occurs naturally in grapes and is widely used in the food industry. This coupling makes the powder more stable and more soluble than the pure form, which is also related to the crystal structure that is formed after binding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much l-carnitine does it contain\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile some carnitine products come out to 500 or 1000mg per daily dose, this daily dose contains 3000mg of tartrate. That includes 2000mg of pure l-carnitine. Through diet, you usually get 100 to 300mg of l-carnitine per day, mainly from red meat such as beef and lamb. With 750mg of tartrate per capsule, you get the daily dose with four capsules, without having to compromise with half doses or multiple bottles at once. With 180 capsules per bottle and four pieces per day, you can expect about 45 days of use, just under two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure, vegan and independently tested\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn many supplements, fillers, colorings, or flavorings sneak into the capsule, even when there is no single functional reason for it.

In addition to the l-carnitine tartrate itself, the capsule only contains hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a shell, a plant-based material that is also used in many other vegan capsules as an alternative to animal gelatin. There is no magnesium stearate as a lubricant, no titanium dioxide as a coloring, and no added flavoring. What you read on the label is therefore exactly what is in the capsule. Vit4ever also has every production batch independently tested in a certified laboratory, where purity and the absence of unwanted substances are checked. Especially with a raw material like l-carnitine tartrate, which is traded worldwide in different degrees of purity, that independent control makes the difference between a basic supplement and a product where you know exactly what is in it.

It is found in the skins, leaves, and flowers of, among others, apples, onions, and berries. Vit4ever uses quercetin from the flowers of the Japanese honeysuckle (Styphnolobium japonicum). Onions, especially the red variety, and capers are among the most quercetin-rich foods found in an average diet, followed by apple skins and various berries. One jar contains 120 vegan capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom the flowers of the Japanese honeysuckle\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quercetin in this product is obtained from the flower buds of the Japanese honeysuckle through an extraction process.

Each capsule contains 510 mg of flower extract, of which 500 mg is actually quercetin. To get the same amount through food, you would have to eat a large quantity of onions, capers, or blueberries, considerably more than would fit in an average meal. That extraction process begins with drying the flower buds, followed by a series of steps in which the quercetin is concentrated into the final powder that ends up in the capsule. The extract is standardized, which means that each capsule contains a fixed, controlled amount of quercetin instead of a varying amount like in fresh fruit or fresh vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuercetin as a plant substance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eQuercetin belongs to the larger group of polyphenols, plant substances that naturally have a colored structure and are therefore often responsible for the color of fruit, vegetables, and flowers. The molecule has a structure that is chemically related to other well-known flavonoids, such as those found in green tea or citrus fruits. After ingestion, quercetin is partially converted in the intestine before it reaches the bloodstream, a process that occurs similarly with various flavonoids. Some people deliberately choose a concentrated extract precisely because they do not want to eat large portions of onions or berries every day to get a comparable amount of quercetin. There is no approved health claim for quercetin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure extract without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules contain only Styphnolobium japonicum extract, a small amount of rice extract as an anti-caking agent, and a plant-based capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. They are free from magnesium stearate, artificial colors, flavorings, and preservatives. This short formulation makes it easy to see exactly what is in a capsule, something that is less obvious with processed extracts containing many excipients. In small amounts, the rice extract ensures that the powder does not clump together during production, a purely technical function with no effect on the quercetin itself. This aligns with the idea behind a clean-label product: as few additives as possible, so that it is clear exactly what you are taking in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and practical to use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quercetin capsules are one hundred percent vegan and suitable for those who choose a clean-label supplement without animal-derived ingredients. For people who prefer not to use animal gelatin in their supplements, this is a relevant detail, as many other capsules are still made from beef gelatin. One capsule per day, with a meal and sufficient water, is enough according to the recommended use. Each produced batch is independently tested for content and purity, so that the 500 mg on the label actually corresponds to the contents of the capsule. It is also checked whether the quercetin content in the extract remains stable throughout the shelf life, something that is not guaranteed with plant extracts.

Vit4ever uses the raw material life's OMEGA, extracted from the microalgae Schizochytrium, and packages it in a plant-based softgel. This way you get the same fatty acids as in fish oil, but without the fish. The product is available in 90 and 120 softgels, depending on how far ahead you want to buy. What stands out is that the taste and smell of this softgel remain neutral, while a regular fish oil capsule often leaves a slight fishy aftertaste if you bite through it or spit it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy algae are the original source\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people think that omega 3 by definition comes from fish. That is not entirely true. Fish do not produce DHA and EPA themselves, they absorb it through the algae they eat or through smaller fish that in turn had eaten algae. By getting omega 3 directly from the source, you skip a link in that chain. The algae are grown in controlled tanks, not caught in open water, which makes the quality per batch more predictable. In addition, algae grow much faster than fish and do not require fishing, which keeps cultivation on a larger scale predictable without the pressure on fish populations that fish oil production does entail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e450 mg DHA and 225 mg EPA per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA daily dose of 3 softgels provides 1500 mg of algae oil, of which 450 mg is DHA and 225 mg is EPA. That is relevant, because DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and the maintenance of normal vision; the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA. EPA and DHA contribute to the normal function of the heart; the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA. With 450 mg DHA and 675 mg EPA and DHA together per daily dose, both conditions are met. Vitamin E has been added to the oil and contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. Unsaturated fatty acids such as omega 3 are sensitive to oxidation by oxygen and light; without protection, the oil could become rancid more quickly, which also affects the smell and taste.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat makes the softgel different from a fish oil capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe softgel itself is the part where vegan omega 3 often runs into problems: a regular omega 3 capsule is made of animal gelatin. Vit4ever uses a plant-based shell; you can find the full composition in the ingredients list further down on this page. Therefore, the entire product, oil and shell together, is one hundred percent vegan. What many people do not know: this also makes it suitable for those who do not like fish or are allergic to fish, without compromising on the amount of DHA and EPA. The difference lies mainly in the source, not in the fatty acids themselves: DHA remains DHA, whether it comes from an alga or from a fish. The daily dose of 3 softgels contains the amount of DHA and EPA required for the permitted health claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAre you torn between algae oil and fish oil? Both provide the same fatty acids, only the source and the capsule differ. Those who eat vegan or simply do not want animal gelatin will logically choose the algae version. Every batch of algae oil is independently tested for content and purity, and is free from magnesium stearate, flavorings, colorings and GMOs.

A daily dose of 5 capsules provides 2500 mg of glucosamine sulfate. Chondroitin is often offered in combination with glucosamine. The formula contains 250 mg of chondroitin per daily dose, together with 250 mg of turmeric extract standardized to 95% curcumin, the yellow pigment for which turmeric is known. Thanks to this standardization, you know how much curcumin is in each daily dose.

Each daily dose contains 330 mg of frankincense extract, of which 215 mg are boswellic acids. Boswellia serrata, the scientific name of the tree, grows mainly in dry, rocky areas in parts of Africa and Asia. The resin has been used there for centuries, nowadays in standardized extract form that can be precisely dosed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMSM, quercetin, bromelain and L-methionine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the four main ingredients, Joint Flexit contains four additional substances. MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) is a sulfur-containing compound that occurs naturally in plants, animals and humans. Quercetin is a plant substance belonging to the flavonoid group and occurs naturally in, among others, onions and apples. Bromelain is an enzyme obtained from the stem of the pineapple plant, not from the fruit itself as many people think. L-methionine, finally, is an amino acid that your body cannot produce itself: you get it through food. Each of these four substances provides 42 mg per daily dose. Together they form the complementary layer of the formula, alongside the four main ingredients that account for the majority of the weight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVitamin C from rosehip extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe vitamin C in this formula is not synthetic, but comes from rosehip extract, the fruit of the wild rose. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, bones and blood vessels. In addition, vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin C also contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. A daily dose of 5 capsules provides 12.5 mg of vitamin C, equal to 16% of the reference intake. The vitamin C in Joint Flexit is part of the broader formula, not the main ingredient. Anyone specifically looking for more vitamin C will find that sooner in a separate vitamin C supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 180 capsules per bottle and a daily dose of 5 capsules, you get 36 daily doses per package.

It is a building block of proteins and is also naturally found in cheese, fish, eggs, and nuts.

L-Tyrosine falls into an intermediate category, also known as conditionally essential. Your body produces it itself from phenylalanine. In your cells, tyrosine is used as a building block for larger protein molecules. The amino acid itself has a simple structure: an amino group, an acid group, and a ring-shaped side chain, the latter distinguishing tyrosine from most other amino acids. That ring-shaped side chain, a so-called phenol group, is also the reason that tyrosine is chemically related to phenylalanine: the two molecules are very similar in structure, with the difference being an extra oxygen atom in the ring. There are no permitted health claims for L-tyrosine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom Plant-Based Fermentation, Not a Synthetic Route\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe L-tyrosine in this product is not chemically synthesized, but obtained through plant-based fermentation. During fermentation, microorganisms convert sugars into the desired amino acid, much like making yogurt or sourdough bread, but focused on one specific substance. The starting material is usually a plant-based sugar source such as corn starch, which the microorganisms gradually convert into tyrosine during fermentation. The result is a powder with a consistent amount of tyrosine per gram, which is then packaged into a capsule. A daily dose of 2 capsules provides 1300 mg of \u003cstrong\u003eL-tyrosine\u003c\/strong\u003e. The capsules are easiest to take whole, but you can also open them and mix the powder with a drink if you prefer not to swallow a capsule. The main difference with loose powder is convenience: a capsule always provides exactly 650 mg, without having to weigh it or level off a measuring spoon.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and Free from Unnecessary Additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany capsules contain magnesium stearate by default, an excipient that prevents the powder from clumping as easily during production. Vit4ever deliberately omits this. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a shell made from cellulose plants instead of animal gelatin; you can find the full list of ingredients further down on this page. No artificial colors, no flavors, no preservatives. What many people do not know: HPMC capsules are also more stable at high temperatures than gelatin capsules, making them practical for longer storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo Sizes for Different Uses\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever's L-tyrosine capsules are available in bottles of 240 and 365, so you can choose between a generous supply or a year's supply. With two capsules per day, the bottle of 240 lasts about four months, while 365 capsules will last you almost half a year. Every production batch is independently tested for content and purity, so that the amount of tyrosine on the label matches what is actually in the capsule. This testing is carried out in an external laboratory, separate from the production line itself, which reduces the chance of errors in the in-house quality control. This way, you know exactly what you are taking, regardless of which size you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: L-tyrosine is an amino acid that your body normally produces itself from phenylalanine, and that Vit4ever packages in a vegan capsule through plant-based fermentation.

Among the 20 strains are Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium lactis, Streptococcus thermophilus, Lactobacillus rhamnosus and Lactobacillus reuteri. Freeze-dried means that the moisture has been gently removed from the cultures, so they can be stored in a stable powder form until the time of consumption. Each strain is grown separately and only brought together in a late production stage into the final mixture. By combining them, a broadly composed bacterial complex is created instead of a preparation with a single species. By the way, the number of 20 strains was deliberately chosen: fewer strains would limit the breadth of the complex, while even more strains would actually reduce the amount per strain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy inulin has been added\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the bacterial strains, each capsule contains organically grown inulin (BIO-control number DE-OKO-006). Inulin is a fiber that occurs naturally in plants such as chicory. Some people deliberately combine the use of a broad bacterial complex with a high-fiber diet to further supplement the fiber intake throughout the day. This way, you know exactly which strains you are dealing with, instead of a vague designation such as 'lactic acid bacteria' without further specification. What many people do not know: inulin itself provides hardly any calories because the body does not process the fiber as sugar.

In krill oil, the omega 3 fatty acids are largely bound to phospholipids, a building block that is also found in cell membranes. In fish oil, the same fatty acids are usually bound to triglycerides. A daily dose of 2 softgels provides 220 mg of omega 3, of which 120 mg is EPA and 56 mg is DHA, plus 400 mg of phospholipids of which 50 mg is choline. That makes krill oil a different approach than a concentrated fish oil supplement: the total omega 3 amount per dose is generally lower than with high-dose fish oil, while the phospholipid form and the presence of astaxanthin and choline are characteristic of krill oil. What many people do not know: phospholipids are the same building blocks from which cell membranes are made, which explains why krill oil forms a slightly different structure in water than pure fish oil, which itself mixes less well with water. In practice, you do not immediately notice that difference when taking the softgel, but it is the reason why manufacturers sometimes market krill oil separately from regular fish oil, as its own category within omega 3 supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAstaxanthin, the red pigment\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKrill oil naturally contains astaxanthin, the same pigment that gives shrimp, salmon and flamingos their color. Krill gets astaxanthin through the algae it feeds on, and stores this pigment in its tissue. A daily dose provides 100 micrograms of astaxanthin. Astaxanthin belongs to the carotenoids, the same substance group as beta-carotene, and is responsible for the pink to red color of the oil itself. That color is immediately a practical feature: where fish oil is usually light yellow to amber, you recognize krill oil by its striking red tint. Some people also taste a slightly different, less pronounced aroma than with fish oil capsules, although that naturally varies from product to product and from person to person.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eNot vegan, but pure\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGood to know: krill oil contains crustaceans and the softgel is made of beef gelatin. This product is therefore not suitable for those who eat vegan or vegetarian, and also not for those who have a crustacean allergy. The softgel itself consists of glycerin, sorbitol and water in addition to gelatin, materials that provide the flexible, transparent capsule wall where the oil is in. For people who prefer to use a plant-based alternative, there are algae oil supplements, although their composition differs substantially from krill oil. Algae oil usually contains only DHA or a combination of DHA and EPA in triglyceride form, without the phospholipids, choline and astaxanthin that krill oil naturally brings. Every batch of this product is independently tested, so that the composition matches what is on the label and you know what is in every softgel. Two softgels per day with enough water is the recommended intake, divided or all at once, depending on what feels most comfortable for you.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43679122718940,"sku":"vit4-132","price":31.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-krill-oli-omega-3-210-1.jpg?v=1793623878"},{"product_id":"co-enzym-q10-vit4ever","title":"Coenzyme Q10 250 mg | 120 Capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCoenzyme Q10 250mg by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCoenzyme Q10\u003c\/strong\u003e is a substance you have probably heard of.

It is a fat-soluble substance that also occurs naturally in the body. Q10 is also found in food, especially in meat, fatty fish and nuts. There is no approved health claim for coenzyme Q10. Q10 is also widely used as an ingredient in skincare products, where it is applied topically to the skin instead of being ingested. This dual use, both internally and on the skin, explains why coenzyme Q10 appears on two very different shelves in the drugstore and supplement store.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTwo bottle sizes, the same dosage per capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis product is available in two variants: a bottle of 120 capsules and a bottle of 180 capsules. Both variants contain exactly the same 250 mg of coenzyme Q10 per capsule; the only difference is the number of capsules per package. Those who want to build up a larger supply choose the bottle of 180; those who want to try it out first or prefer to buy a smaller bottle more often can start with the 120 capsules. At a dosage of 1 capsule per day, this amounts to 120 or 180 days of use per bottle, respectively, without changing the composition of the capsule itself. Both bottle sizes are produced according to the same specifications, so whichever variant you choose, the amount of Q10 per capsule remains identical.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eVegan cellulose-based capsule shell\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe capsule itself consists of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based raw material used in the supplement industry as an alternative to gelatin. This makes this product suitable for vegetarians and vegans, something that is not always obvious with Q10 supplements because some variants are available with a gelatin capsule. The ingredient list of this product is kept short; you can find the full list further down on this page. For those who prefer not to see a long list of fillers and additives on a label, this is a nice detail. The capsules themselves have hardly any pronounced taste or smell, making them easy to take with a glass of water. This also makes this product practical for those who have difficulty with large tablets or a pronounced aftertaste from some other supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003ePackaging that keeps out light and moisture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10 is sensitive to light, and therefore this product is packaged in an airtight and light-tight tin made of bio-based plastic. This packaging choice is no coincidence: Q10 is a fat-soluble substance that, like many other fat-soluble substances, can break down under the influence of prolonged exposure to light and oxygen. By storing the capsules in a closed tin instead of a transparent bottle, the contents remain better protected until the moment you actually take the capsule. Vit4ever has the product manufactured according to German quality standards, with checks on both dosage and purity during the production process. This combination of protective packaging and a controlled production process is intended to maintain the quality of the capsule from production to the moment of use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCoenzyme Q10 remains one of the better-known names in the world of dietary supplements. With a fixed dosage of 250 mg per capsule, a choice between two bottle sizes and a short, clear ingredient list, this product offers a clear starting point for those who want to take a fixed daily amount of Q10 without any prior calculations. Whether you choose the smallest or the largest bottle, the dosage per capsule does not change, and that makes the choice between the two variants mainly a matter of how far ahead you want to plan.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"250 mg","offer_id":51283399147858,"sku":"vit4-246","price":26.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-co-enzym-q10-vit4ever-1.png?v=1793698734"},{"product_id":"glucomannan","title":"Glucomannan Konjac Root + Chromium | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eGlucomannan with chromium from konjac root\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese capsules combine \u003cstrong\u003eglucomannan\u003c\/strong\u003e from konjac root with the trace element chromium. Glucomannan is a water-soluble dietary fibre naturally found in konjac root, a tuber from East Asia also known as devil's tongue.

In the context of an energy-restricted diet, glucomannan contributes to weight loss. Note the latter: the effect is part of a low-calorie diet, not a continuation of unchanged eating habits. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 grams of glucomannan, divided into three 1-gram doses, each with 1 to 2 glasses of water before a meal, in combination with an energy-restricted diet. A daily dose of this product (3 x 2 capsules) provides 4 grams. Take the capsules with plenty of water, at least 1 to 2 glasses per dose, and not just before bedtime. Without enough fluid, the fibre can swell too early, which is uncomfortable and, in the worst case, poses a risk of choking.

It contains no magnesium stearate, bulking agents, colourings, or preservatives, and the product is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free, and GMO-free. Vit4ever uses extract instead of cheaper konjac powder, so the amount of glucomannan per capsule is fixed instead of varying from jar to jar.

Vit4ever extracts this \u003cstrong\u003eoregano oil\u003c\/strong\u003e via steam distillation of the leaves of Origanum vulgare and standardizes the extract to 80 percent carvacrol, the aromatic compound that gives oregano its characteristic scent.

In oregano, carvacrol is the dominant compound, responsible for the sharp scent you recognize when you rub a leaf between your fingers. Just like with other plant extracts, the carvacrol content can vary considerably between batches of oregano, depending on where and when the plant was harvested. Vit4ever therefore standardizes to a fixed percentage of 80 percent, so that each capsule delivers a comparable amount of carvacrol: with 150 mg of oregano oil, that amounts to 120 mg of carvacrol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSteam distillation: how the oil is extracted\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSteam distillation is a classic method for extracting volatile oils from plants. Water vapor is passed through the plant parts, causing the aromatic compounds to evaporate and be collected along with the steam. After condensation, the oil separates itself from the water. This technique has been used for centuries for essential oils and has the advantage that no chemical solvents are used. The result is a concentrated oregano oil that is then processed into the capsule, mixed with olive oil so that the oil is easier to dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOne capsule per day, a four-month supply\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou take one capsule daily with sufficient water.

This product is therefore not suitable for vegetarians and vegans. The product is GMO-free, gluten-free, and lactose-free. A bottle of 120 capsules is sufficient for four months at one capsule per day. Vit4ever has each batch independently tested in a laboratory for the actual carvacrol content, so that the percentage on the label is truly present in the capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe oregano for this extract is obtained from Origanum vulgare, a plant that originally grows around the Mediterranean and has been used there in the kitchen for centuries, often as a dried herb in tomato dishes and olive oil. The leaves are harvested at the time when the aromatic oil content is highest, before they are processed via steam distillation into the concentrated oil that ends up in the capsule. By standardizing to 80 percent carvacrol, Vit4ever ensures that fluctuations in the plant itself, depending on harvest time, growing location, and climate, do not affect the final capsule. This way, you get a comparable amount of carvacrol with every order, regardless of which harvest the raw material comes from, which keeps the composition predictable and comparable from capsule to capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43679335252188,"sku":"vit4-211","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-oregano-1.jpg?v=1793623878"},{"product_id":"cordyceps-intenso-cs-4-extract-vit4ever","title":"Cordyceps Sinensis CS-4 40% | 180 or 300 capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCordyceps Sinensis CS-4 by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCordyceps Sinensis\u003c\/strong\u003e is a mushroom from the highlands of Tibet and Nepal. Vit4ever offers this mushroom in a concentrated form: a CS-4 extract, standardized to 40% polysaccharides. Each daily dose of 2 capsules provides 1300 mg of this extract, of which 520 mg are polysaccharides. Those looking for a pure, concentrated Cordyceps supplement without unnecessary additives will find a simple and clear formula here. The range of mushroom extracts has grown significantly in recent years, and that is precisely why it is useful to know exactly what you are looking at on a label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat exactly is Cordyceps CS-4?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name CS-4 often appears on Cordyceps products, and that raises questions for many people. It refers to a specific cultivated strain of Cordyceps sinensis, developed because the wild mushroom is rare and difficult to harvest. Instead of collecting the mushroom in the mountains of Tibet or Nepal, the CS-4 strain is grown under controlled conditions, usually through the fermentation of the mycelium. This makes it possible to deliver a consistent quality, batch after batch, without depending on harvest, season, or altitude. The extract that Vit4ever uses is a 10:1 extract. This means that 10 parts of raw material are needed to make 1 part extract. The daily dose of 1300 mg of extract therefore equals 13,000 mg of raw Cordyceps material, concentrated in two capsules. For those accustomed to loose mushroom powder, that is a substantial difference: you are taking in much more raw material in a small volume than the weight of the capsule would suggest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePolysaccharides, the core substance of this extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between regular Cordyceps powder and this CS-4 extract lies in the standardization of polysaccharides. Polysaccharides are long chains of sugar molecules that occur naturally in mushrooms and are often used as a measure of the quality of a mushroom extract. In this product, that content is fixed at 40%, which amounts to 520 mg of polysaccharides per daily dose. Manufacturers measure and standardize this content because it is the most commonly used way to compare mushroom extracts with one another. Without standardization, you never really know how many polysaccharides you are taking in, even if a large number is stated on the packaging. Many people wonder why one Cordyceps product is more expensive than another, while the packaging looks similar. The answer usually lies in these kinds of details: the extraction process, the concentration ratio, and the degree of standardization together determine what you actually take in, not just the number of milligrams on the front of the jar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules, nothing else unnecessary\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based raw material that makes this product suitable for vegans and vegetarians. What stands out about this formula is especially what is not in it: no magnesium stearate, no silicon dioxide, and no artificial colors or flavorings. Many supplement manufacturers use these substances as aids in production, for example to prevent powder from sticking to machines during capsule filling. Vit4ever has deliberately chosen to keep the formula as short as possible: the Cordyceps extract and the capsule shell, nothing more. This makes the ingredients list clear for those who prefer not to take in unnecessary additives and want to know exactly what is in a capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA mushroom that is now known worldwide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCordyceps sinensis was originally found on the high plateaus of Tibet, Nepal, and parts of China, where the mushroom grows in a special symbiosis with a caterpillar larva at high altitudes. That rarity once made the wild variant a coveted and expensive trade product, with prices sometimes higher than those of gold per gram. Nowadays, it is possible to grow the same mushroom using the CS-4 strain, making the extract more widely available without compromising consistency. Vit4ever processes this cultivated extract into a practical capsule form, with a clear dosage of 2 capsules per day. The packaging is available in 180 or 300 capsules, each easily comparable based on 90 or 150 daily doses, respectively. This way, you can choose how much stock you want to have at home, without changing the composition of the extract.

Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system and to the maintenance of normal nails and hair, and iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and haemoglobin and to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Iodine contributes to the normal functioning of the thyroid gland, and selenium contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress. These are the common, widely used forms of these minerals, in dosages around 100 percent of the reference intake. Magnesium is deliberately dosed low in this formula at 5 mg (1 percent of the reference intake), because a higher dosage would make the tablet considerably larger; those looking for magnesium should choose a separate magnesium supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEleven additional substances as a supplement to the foundation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat further complements this formula are eleven substances without a fixed reference intake: turmeric powder, citrus bioflavonoids, inositol, sunflower lecithin, L-choline, L-lysine, L-methionine, L-glutamine, grape seed extract, alpha-lipoic acid and betaine as trimethylglycine. These substances do not have an approved health claim in these quantities, but are added by Vit4ever as an extra layer on top of the basic formula of vitamins and minerals.

By standardizing the ashwagandha extract to 10% withanolides, you know exactly what you are getting, instead of guessing based on the natural variation of raw root powder. Many people wonder why that percentage is actually important. The answer lies in consistency: an extract with a fixed percentage provides the same amount of withanolides in every jar, while a raw powder can vary from harvest to harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eExtract versus raw root powder\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha is sold in two main forms: as dried and ground root powder, or as a concentrated extract. With powder, you get the whole root, including fiber and a lower, non-standardized content of withanolides. With a concentrated root extract, the root is first extracted, after which the withanolides are concentrated to a fixed percentage. This makes the amount per capsule predictable and compact. Vit4ever opts for this extract form, processed into hydroxypropyl methylcellulose capsules, a plant-based alternative to gelatin. No animal-derived ingredients, no synthetic dyes in the capsule shell.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference also lies in ease of use. Powder must be weighed out or dissolved, while a capsule can be taken with a glass of water. For people who are on the go or do not want to weigh it out daily, that is a practical difference. This is where the standardization of withanolides comes in again: you know exactly how much of this plant compound is in each capsule, instead of relying on an estimated content in loose powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrigin of the plant\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha originally grows in the dry regions of India, the Middle East, and parts of Africa. The root of the plant has been used in India for centuries. What many people do not know: the name ashwagandha refers to the smell of the fresh root, which is reminiscent of a horse. In Sanskrit, it means something like horse smell. Today, the plant is grown worldwide and processed into extracts such as this ashwagandha extract, with the withanolide content being the primary quality measure during purchasing and production. There are no approved health claims for ashwagandha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy a percentage is on the label\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith botanical extracts, you often encounter a percentage or an extraction ratio, such as 10:1 or, in this case, 10% withanolides. That percentage indicates the concentration of withanolides relative to the total extract. The higher the percentage, the fewer grams of extract you need for the same amount of withanolides. This product opts for 10%, a common content among ashwagandha extracts. It is not a branded extract with its own name or patent, but a generic extract with transparent standardization on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA jar of 180 capsules lasts 90 days at 2 per day, more than three months on a fixed dosage, without having to order a new jar halfway through. The capsules are also odorless and tasteless, something that is not always the case with raw ashwagandha powder. Anyone who has tasted pure powder knows that the flavor is quite pronounced and earthy. A capsule completely bypasses that, which for many users is the deciding factor in the choice between powder and extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 1500 mg of extract and 150 mg of withanolides per day, packaged in 180 vegan capsules, this product offers a compact way to give ashwagandha a permanent place in your daily routine. Two capsules with some water, that is all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43680849658076,"sku":"vit4-185","price":30.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-ashwagandha-intenso-180-1.jpg?v=1793623857"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/all.oembed?page=3","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
