Think of herbs such as ashwagandha and rhodiola, plants with a long history of use such as valerian, passionflower and hops, amino acids such as GABA and L-theanine, and saffron extract (Affron). These plant-based and naturally occurring substances are described here: we explain what they are, where they come from and in what forms you can find them, without attributing any effect to them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor the minerals and vitamins in some formulas, authorized health claims exist. For example, magnesium contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system, and vitamin B6 contributes to normal psychological function. In this range, you will find ashwagandha on its own (root powder, KSM-66 and Shoden extracts), GABA and L-theanine, rhodiola, saffron, passionflower, valerian and hops, as well as complexes containing magnesium, zinc and B vitamins. The forms range from powder and capsules to tablets, effervescent tablets and gummies, from brands such as Vit4ever, Swanson, Osavi, German Elite Nutrition, ESN, Himalaya, NOW Foods and LUTO Supplements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included in this category?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt includes three types of ingredients: traditionally used herbs (ashwagandha, rhodiola, saffron, passionflower, valerian, hops), naturally occurring amino acids (GABA and L-theanine), and minerals and vitamins (magnesium, zinc, vitamin B6). For the herbs and amino acids, we only provide background information and their origin; authorized health claims apply only to the minerals and vitamins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere do these ingredients come from?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ingredients in this category come from a variety of natural sources. The herbs come from specific plants: ashwagandha from the root of Withania somnifera, rhodiola from the root of Rhodiola rosea, saffron from the stigmas of the saffron crocus, and valerian and hops from valerian root and hop flowers, respectively. L-theanine occurs naturally in green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis), and GABA is an amino acid that the body produces itself. Minerals such as magnesium and zinc, and vitamin B6, occur naturally in foods such as nuts, seeds, whole grains, legumes and leafy green vegetables. In the supplements on this page, these substances have been isolated or processed as plant extracts into powder, capsules, tablets or gummies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAshwagandha\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a shrub from the nightshade family that has traditionally been used in Ayurvedic herbal medicine. The root is primarily used. Here, you can find ashwagandha as pure root powder, as loose powder for dosing, and as standardized extracts such as KSM-66 and Shoden, which contain a fixed percentage of withanolides. There are also ready-made forms such as capsules, tablets and gummies, as well as complexes in which ashwagandha is combined with magnesium, zinc and vitamin B6.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eGABA and L-theanine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is an amino acid that the body produces itself. As a supplement, it is available as powder, capsules and effervescent tablets, sometimes combined with vitamin B6. L-theanine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis) and is offered as a loose capsule or in combination with GABA or inositol. Both are described here without attributing any effect; where vitamin B6 has been added, it contributes to normal psychological function and the normal functioning of the nervous system.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRhodiola, saffron and passionflower\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhodiola rosea, also known as rose root or golden root, grows in the cold mountain regions of Scandinavia and elsewhere. Saffron comes from the stigmas of the saffron crocus (Crocus sativus); in supplements, the standardized extract Affron is often used. Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata) is a climbing plant with a long history of use in herbal medicine. All three are described here without any claims about their effects and are available as capsules or extracts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eValerian and hops\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eValerian (Valeriana officinalis) is a plant whose root has been used in herbal preparations for centuries; you can find it as root powder in tablets or capsules. You probably know hops (Humulus lupulus) from beer, but the plant also has a long tradition in herbal medicine and is offered as an extract in capsule form. We also describe these plants without making any claims about their effects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMagnesium, zinc and vitamin B6\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVarious formulas in this category combine herbs with minerals and vitamins. Authorized health claims exist for these nutrients. Magnesium contributes to normal psychological function, the normal functioning of the nervous system and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal psychological function, the normal functioning of the nervous system and the regulation of hormonal activity. Zinc contributes to normal cognitive function. These claims apply to the mineral or vitamin itself, not to the herb with which they are combined.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eForms and variants\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is a wide range of options in this category. With powder (for example, ashwagandha or GABA), you determine the amount yourself and mix it with water or a smoothie. Capsules and tablets are convenient for on the go and contain a fixed dose per piece. Effervescent tablets dissolve in the mouth, while gummies are a chewable option, often with a fruity flavour. With extracts (such as KSM-66, Shoden or Affron), some of the plant substances are concentrated and standardised to a fixed level, so you need a smaller amount than with non-standardised powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe correct amount varies depending on the ingredient and product. For powders, you usually use a scoop; for capsules, tablets and gummies, you take a fixed number of pieces per day. Standardised extracts generally have a lower daily dose than pure powder because the extract is concentrated. Combination products indicate on the packaging how much of the total formula to take. Always follow the directions for use on the packaging for the exact amount and time of intake, and do not exceed the recommended daily dose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen should you take these supplements?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe time of intake depends on the product and your own preference. Some people choose to take these supplements as part of an evening routine, while others take them at different times throughout the day. Mix powders with water, tea or a smoothie; take capsules, tablets and gummies with a sip of water. Combination products and extracts often specify a particular time or intake with a meal. Always follow the directions for use on the packaging of the relevant product for the recommended time of intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to look for when buying\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing, consider the form that suits you (powder, capsule, tablet or gummy) and whether you are looking for a single ingredient or a complex. For extracts, check the standardised level, such as the percentage of withanolides in ashwagandha or the amount of Affron in saffron. Check whether the product is suitable for a vegan or vegetarian diet and whether it is free from substances you want to avoid, such as gluten or lactose. For complexes, it is worth checking which minerals and vitamins have been added and in what form, for example magnesium bisglycinate or vitamin B6 as pyridoxal-5-phosphate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso view our related collections \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/ashwagandha\"\u003eAshwagandha\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/gaba\"\u003eGABA\u003c\/a\u003e, \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/magnesium\"\u003eMagnesium\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/saffraan\"\u003eSaffron\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"original-organic-ashwagandha-vit4ever","title":"Organic Ashwagandha Root Powder 1950mg | 365 Capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eOrganic Ashwagandha Root Powder by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrganic ashwagandha\u003c\/strong\u003e by Vit4ever contains the complete root powder of Withania somnifera, a plant that has been used in India for a very long time. 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. With a daily dose of 3 capsules, you get approximately 121 doses, more than four months of use from one package. 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. For those who combine multiple herbal supplements, it is nice to know that these capsules are limited to one plant, without additional herbal mixtures that make the dosage less clear.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43622972555484,"sku":"vit4-258","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-original-organic-ashwagandha-vit4ever-1.jpg?v=1793623865"},{"product_id":"ashwagandha-intenso-180","title":"Ashwagandha Extract 1500mg – 10% Withanolides | 180 capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eAshwagandha Extract 1500 mg by Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a pure \u003cstrong\u003eashwagandha extract\u003c\/strong\u003e in capsule form, without a patented branded extract and without additional minerals. It is standardized to 10% withanolides. Each daily dose of 2 capsules provides 1500 mg of ashwagandha root extract, with a guaranteed content of 10% withanolides. That is 150 mg of withanolides per day. For those who prefer taking a concentrated extract in capsules rather than stirring powder into a smoothie, this is a straightforward option.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat withanolides are exactly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithanolides are a group of plant compounds that occur naturally in the root of Withania somnifera, the plant you know better as ashwagandha. They are found in every ashwagandha root, but in varying amounts. 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.

Vit4ever GABA Powder contains this substance in pure form, without additives. You will often find gamma-aminobutyric acid as a standalone substance in powder form, precisely because it dissolves easily in water or juice. This 540-gram package provides exactly 180 servings at a daily dose of 3 grams, so you will have enough for quite a while.

It is an amino acid, a building block like the ones you know from proteins, but in your body it primarily functions as a neurotransmitter. That is a substance with which nerve cells pass messages to each other. It is made in your body from another amino acid, glutamate, with the help of an enzyme that carries out that conversion step by step. That enzyme is called glutamate decarboxylase, and it actually cuts off a small piece of the glutamate molecule. What remains is gamma-aminobutyric acid. This type of conversion happens continuously in your nervous system, in very small amounts at a time, without you noticing anything.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow GABA powder differs from tablets or capsules\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever GABA Powder consists of 100% gamma-aminobutyric acid. No binder, no capsule shell, no flavoring. That makes it just a little different from a tablet or capsule, which often includes a coating or filler. With powder, you measure out the amount yourself and dissolve it in a glass of water or juice. For people who prefer not to swallow pills, or who want to easily adjust the dosage, that is a practical difference. Please note: a measuring scoop is not standard with every jar, so a kitchen scale can be useful to accurately weigh out the 3 grams. The powder itself is fine-grained and dissolves fairly quickly at room temperature, although good stirring is still necessary because GABA is not instantly soluble like sugar, for example. Some people stir it into a glass of water, others prefer to mix it with juice because of the neutral to slightly sour taste of the powder itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere GABA occurs naturally\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGamma-aminobutyric acid occurs naturally mainly in the brain and spinal cord.

No fillers, no flavorings, no colorings, and no capsule shell that your body also has to digest. This fundamentally differentiates this powder from an ashwagandha capsule with a standardized extract. In an extract, a part of the plant is concentrated to a fixed ratio of active substances, often expressed as a percentage of withanolides. With this powder, you get the entire root, including the fibers and the full spectrum of plant compounds it contains. There is no intermediate step of extraction or concentration: the root is only dried and ground. The result is a fine, light brown powder with an earthy, slightly bitter smell characteristic of the plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrigin from India\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ashwagandha root for this powder comes from India, the country where the plant has been used for thousands of years within the Ayurvedic tradition. Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is also called winter cherry there, a reference to the plant's small, round fruits. The roots are harvested, dried, and then finely ground into powder. What many people don't know: the quality of ashwagandha strongly depends on which part of the plant is used. With this product, it is exclusively the root, not the leaf or the stem. In Ayurveda, the root has traditionally been regarded as the most valuable part of the plant, and that is precisely the part found in this powder. The plant naturally grows in dry, warm regions, and precisely that climate is associated with the development of the plant compounds in the root.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFlexible dosing and suitable for kitchen use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith powder, you determine how much you use, within the recommended range of 2 to 4 grams per day. This is the difference with a capsule, where you are tied to multiples of the capsule content: if one and a half capsules are enough for you, you'll still quickly take one or two. A scoop of powder stirred into your smoothie, yogurt, or glass of water may be sufficient. If you are unsure how much you need, start at the lower end of the range and gradually build up. This way, your body gets used to the new addition to your daily routine. The powder does not dissolve completely in water, so stirring or shaking helps to mix it well.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaste-wise, the powder is on the earthy side, with a slight bitterness. This makes it combine well with products that already have their own flavor: a banana smoothie, a spoon of peanut butter in yogurt, or a cup of warm plant-based milk with cinnamon. This is precisely where the advantage of powder over a capsule lies: you can mix it into your existing habits instead of setting aside a separate moment for it. The powder has not been tested for heat resistance for cooking, so preferably stir it into a lukewarm or cold dish instead of cooking it along.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOrganic and vegan through and through\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 'organic' label means that the ashwagandha is cultivated without synthetic pesticides or chemical fertilizers. In practice, this means a product that stays closer to its natural form, from field to packaging. The powder contains no animal ingredients and therefore fits effortlessly into a vegan lifestyle. Ashwagandha powder of organic quality is scarce on the market, precisely because certified organic cultivation and processing require extra steps: from cultivation to control of the end product. Anyone who critically examines exactly what is in a supplement will quickly notice the difference between a long list of excipients and a label with only one ingredient.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith 600 grams in one package, you have a supply of ashwagandha powder for a longer period, without having to switch to capsules or extracts.

Convenient for those who prefer not to make tea but still want to experience the benefits of the herb. Passionflower extract is therefore one of the simpler supplements on the shelf: one ingredient, a fixed concentration, and a clear dosage per capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat passionflower actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassionflower originally grows in South and Central America, where the plant has been used in folk medicine for generations. For this extract, Vit4ever uses only the above-ground parts: leaf and flower, not the root. These plant parts naturally contain substances such as flavonoids, a group of plant compounds that are also found in other herbs and fruit. Passionflower is known as one of the more well-known classics among herbal extracts. In many European countries, passionflower has been available for decades in herbal tea, tincture, and capsule form, which explains why the plant has such a permanent place in supplement shops. The botanical name Passiflora incarnata refers to the striking flower shape, which was associated with Christian symbolism by Spanish missionaries in the sixteenth century, hence the name passionflower.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e10:1 extract, what exactly does that mean?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ratio 10:1 indicates how concentrated the extract is. Ten parts dried plant material are reduced to one part extract. This means that 550 mg of extract per capsule contains approximately the same amount of plant material as 5500 mg of dried passionflower herb. The difference with loose herb or tea therefore lies mainly in the dosage form: you do not need to process a large amount of dried leaves to achieve the same amount of plant substance. People who have made passionflower tea before know that you need quite a bit of dried herb for that, easily a few grams per cup. With an extract in capsule form, this is taken care of with two capsules per day, without having to weigh out quantities or store herbs that could lose quality. Extract ratios such as 10:1 can also be seen with other herbs, such as ginkgo or green tea extract, and they are a common way to indicate how concentrated an extract is compared to the original plant material.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e365 capsules without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVit4ever processes the finely ground extract into a plant-based capsule made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. It contains no magnesium stearate, flavoring, coloring, or gelatin, and the capsules are gluten-free, lactose-free, and GMO-free. Each production batch is independently tested for purity, so you know exactly what is and is not in it. With 365 capsules and a daily dose of two, you get about six months of use before the bottle is empty. That is a long time compared to bottles of 60 or 90 capsules, where you need a new package after just a few weeks. For those who want to try the extract for a longer period, this means you have to reorder less often.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to best use passionflower extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recommended dosage for this extract is two capsules per day, taken with sufficient water. Some people take them at once, while others spread them throughout the day. Both are fine, as long as you do not exceed the recommended amount. Because it is a capsule and not tea, you do not have to wait for something to cool down or pour: just take it and go about your day. This makes it a more practical alternative for many people than brewing herbs yourself, especially when you are on the go or do not feel like making a cup of tea every time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people who buy passionflower extract are mainly looking for a simple alternative to herbal tea. Vit4ever passionflower extract offers a fixed, measurable dose per capsule, something that is harder to determine with self-brewed tea. Those who prefer not to weigh loose herbs or make tea have in this Passiflora incarnata extract a compact alternative that is easy to take with you, for example in a bag or while traveling.

It lies in what it is bonded to. In magnesium oxide, that is a simple salt; in bisglycinate, it is bonded to two glycine molecules, a small amino acid that occurs naturally in proteins. This bond is called a chelate, a chemical term for a molecule that effectively wraps around a mineral. Bisglycinate is absorbed via a different pathway than magnesium salts such as oxide. Magnesium citrate is more soluble than oxide, but can have a slightly laxative effect at higher doses. In magnesium complex formulas, multiple forms are mixed; the composition then depends on the proportion of each form in the mixture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much magnesium do you get per day\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the recommended dose of three capsules per day, you get 300 mg of elemental magnesium. Note: that is the weight of the pure mineral, not the weight of the entire compound including the glycine. Manufacturers do not always state that clearly, which is why on some bottles you see a higher number that actually refers to the total compound and thus appears misleadingly high. Vit4ever calculates with the elemental value, and 300 mg corresponds to 82 percent of the reference intake that applies to adults. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, and that applies to magnesium in general, regardless of the form used.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the glycine bond\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlycine is an amino acid that occurs naturally in proteins. By bonding magnesium to glycine, a chelate is created. Bisglycinate is not the only chelate form on the market; malate is also bonded to an organic molecule.

The ashwagandha is the Shoden variant, a concentrated extract standardised to withanolide glycosides, the characteristic plant compounds of ashwagandha. The ginseng is a 50:1 extract with 10% ginsenosides, and the rhodiola contains rosavin and salidroside. Reishi is a mushroom from traditional Asian herbal medicine and provides 1250 mg per daily dose, of which 500 mg are polysaccharides. Passionflower rounds out the list.

Pantothenic acid contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal mental performance, and also to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Four capsules provide 80 mg of magnesium, which is 21% of the daily reference intake, and 6 mg of vitamin B5, or 100%. These two nutrients thus form a recognisable base for the plant mix, with approved health claims.

Before you know it, there are five bottles in the cupboard and you are swallowing a handful of capsules. A complex combines those plants in a capsule. The benefit is convenience: four capsules per day instead of measuring out five different products. Furthermore, the plants in this formula are traditionally often used together. This saves not only cupboard space, but also the hassle of figuring out which brands and dosages to choose for each plant. You take the capsules with sufficient water; choose a time that fits your routine.

Rhodiola rosea, also known as rose root, grows in cold mountain regions and provides the plant compounds rosavin and salidroside. Panax ginseng is one of the best-known herbs from Asian herbal medicine and is included here as a highly concentrated 50:1 extract in the formula. Reishi (Ganoderma lucidum) is a mushroom that has been used in East Asia for centuries and forms the largest proportion by weight here. Passionflower (Passiflora incarnata), finally, is a climbing plant with striking flowers that has traditionally been processed in herbal teas and tinctures.

The complex is suitable for adults who prefer to take the individual herbs in a fixed combination rather than as separate bottles in the cupboard. It can be used perfectly alongside a separate magnesium or vitamin preparation, although you should keep an eye on the total amount of magnesium, because four capsules already provide 80 mg.

Some people prefer to take two capsules at two different times, others all four at once. Both are possible, as long as you stay within the daily dose. A bottle of 320 capsules lasts approximately eighty days at four per day, so you have a generous supply at home.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure, vegan and without additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis GABA supplement has been deliberately kept simple.

The capsule is made of HPMC, a plant-based material, making the product suitable for vegans and vegetarians. The capsules are neutral in taste and small enough to swallow easily with a glass of water. For those who consider a short, clear ingredients list important, that is convenient: you know exactly what you are taking. You buy GABA as a single product, without mixtures or unnecessary extras. That also makes it easy to combine with other supplements you already use, because you know exactly what is in it. There are no surprising additions that could overlap with other products.

You know exactly how much GABA you are taking, and you are not paying for a long list of extra substances that you may not need.

Vit4ever processes the root into a standardized extract of 500 mg per capsule, with 3 percent rosavine and 1 percent salidroside. One capsule per day is enough, and a bottle of 120 capsules will last about four months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat rhodiola rosea is and where it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhodiola rosea is a succulent that grows in cold, high-altitude, and often windy areas, far from the beaten path. In Siberian, Scandinavian, and Eastern European traditions, the root has been used for centuries, and that is exactly the part of the plant that is harvested. It is precisely in the root that the characteristic plant substances rosavine and salidroside are found in the highest concentration. After harvesting, the root is dried and converted into a concentrated extract through a careful extraction process. Vit4ever deliberately chooses the root as a raw material and not the leaf or stem, because the characteristic plant substances are most concentrated there. Anyone encountering rhodiola rosea for the first time will soon see that the plant has been used in the Scandinavian and Russian herbal tradition for decades, long before it appeared as a supplement in Dutch stores. The name golden root refers to the golden-yellow color of the root flesh as soon as it is cut through, a characteristic that harvesters used to select for.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStandardized to rosavine and salidroside, what does that actually mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStandardizing means that an extract is adjusted to a fixed, predetermined amount of certain plant substances. For this extract, that means 3 percent rosavine and 1 percent salidroside, in the 3:1 ratio that often serves as a quality standard for rhodiola extracts. Per capsule, that comes down to 15 mg rosavine and 5 mg salidroside, always the same amount, batch after batch. Loose root powder lacks that certainty: the content of these plant substances can vary greatly per harvest and origin, sometimes by a factor of two or more. Rhodiola rosea supports the body's adaptability to emotional stress and physical exertion*. Many people wonder how rhodiola compares to other herbs such as ashwagandha or ginseng. The difference lies in the precise plant substances: rosavine occurs almost exclusively in Rhodiola rosea, while other Rhodiola species, such as Rhodiola crenulata, contain little or no substance. Therefore, the botanical name on the label is more important than the common name rose root alone. Extract ratios are often indicated differently for rhodiola than for example ginkgo: not as a ratio between dry and fresh material, but as a percentage of the two characteristic substances, which actually makes the comparison between products easier in practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional use of rhodiola rosea\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhodiola rosea supports mental and cognitive function*. The root has a long history of use in Russia and the Scandinavian countries, where the climate and short summers previously gave people a reason to look into such herbs. In traditional application, rhodiola rosea is often taken daily and at fixed times, which aligns with the advice of one fixed capsule per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePure extract without unnecessary additives\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule consists of nothing other than the rhodiola extract itself and a plant-based shell of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC), a substance that ensures the capsule keeps its shape and is easy to swallow. It contains no magnesium stearate, PEG, carrageenan, flavoring, or coloring. That makes it suitable for vegans and eliminates a lot of unnecessary substances from the label. Every batch is checked for purity and content in an independent laboratory, so that you get the same quality from bottle to bottle. In short: standardization and a short ingredient list go hand in hand here. By the way, precisely because no fillers have been added to the capsule, the dosage of 500 mg of extract per capsule remains clearly traceable to the 15 mg rosavine and 5 mg salidroside that you receive. Anyone who has tried root powder or a non-standardized extract often notices this difference the fastest: with this extract you know exactly what is in it beforehand, instead of relying on an estimate from the manufacturer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRhodiola rosea thus remains a herb with a long history of use in cold regions, now packaged in a modern, standardized form.

Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal psychological function. Vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Each capsule contains 2 mg of B6, which is 143% of the reference intake (the amount you need daily).

There is no EU-approved health claim for GABA itself. We therefore cannot promise any effect on sleep, stress, or relaxation, nor can we carefully use the word \"can\". That is legislation, not a judgment on the substance. The scientifically substantiated claims in this product therefore all relate to vitamin B6. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal homocysteine metabolism. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. This way you know exactly what you are getting with this GABA formula, without fancy talk. Many people wonder why there is so little on a label about the effects of GABA.

Your body does not produce L-theanine itself. This supplement from Vit4ever provides 750 mg of L-theanine per daily dose of 2 capsules, extracted from a concentrated green tea extract. The extract contains no caffeine. One bottle contains 180 capsules, enough for 90 days at 2 capsules per day, and all in a compact, vegan capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eL-theanine from green tea extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-theanine has historically been associated with tea culture; it is naturally present in green and black tea, with the highest concentrations in green tea. Vit4ever uses a concentrated extract and provides it in capsule form, so you get a consistent amount daily without having to brew tea yourself. An extract makes it possible to dose a higher amount of L-theanine than you would get from a cup of tea alone; an average cup of green tea typically contains only a few tens of milligrams. To get 750 mg from loose tea, you would have to drink a significant number of cups per day, which is not practical without also consuming a lot of fluid and caffeine. The extraction process thus significantly concentrates the substance compared to the tea leaf in its natural form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCaffeine-free and high-dose\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt 750 mg per daily dose, this is a high-dose L-theanine supplement. The extract is caffeine-free, unlike a cup of green tea, where L-theanine naturally occurs alongside caffeine. With this product, both substances are separated: you get the L-theanine without the caffeine normally present in the tea leaf. You take 2 capsules per day with water, which is easy to fit into your daily routine, regardless of the time of day you do it. Those sensitive to caffeine, but still interested in L-theanine from green tea, do not have to worry about caffeine intake in addition to the capsules with this extract.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat chemically distinguishes the extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChemically speaking, L-theanine is an amino acid, but one that is not used in the synthesis of endogenous proteins like most other amino acids. Its structure resembles that of glutamic acid, another amino acid, with a small but important difference in the side chain. That difference determines how the molecule behaves in the body compared to glutamic acid. The extract used by Vit4ever is concentrated to a fixed amount of L-theanine per capsule, so the dosage remains constant from capsule to capsule and from bottle to bottle. This standardization is precisely why an extract in capsule form provides a different experience than brewing and drinking a cup of tea, where the amount of L-theanine per cup always varies somewhat. That difference in molecular structure is small on paper, but in biochemistry, it has major consequences for how a substance travels through the body and where it ultimately ends up.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and pure in composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsules are plant-based and free from lactose, gluten, artificial colors, and preservatives.

The ingredient list is short: green tea extract and a plant-based capsule shell, without any further additives that would dilute or cloud the composition. This also makes it easy for people who use few supplements to see exactly what's in the capsule. People trying L-theanine for the first time often wonder how the dosage compares to what is in common tea blends; the answer is that a capsule is much more concentrated than a cup of tea, simply because the extract has been processed to a fixed content.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 180 capsules per bottle and a daily dose of 2 capsules, you get approximately 90 days, or three months of use without reordering. The combination of a high dose, a caffeine-free extract, and a short ingredient list makes this a straightforward product for those specifically looking for L-theanine, without the accompanying caffeine of a cup of tea. Those who normally drink several cups of tea a day to reach the desired amount of L-theanine can achieve the same dosage with these capsules without the additional fluid intake and without having to consider the caffeine content of the brewed tea.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50706042749266,"sku":"vit4-448","price":23.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-l-theanine-750-mg-180-capsules-groene-thee-extract-1.jpg?v=1793623866"},{"product_id":"knockout-shoden®-magnesium-plantenextracten-120-capsules-gen","title":"Knockout Shoden Ashwagandha \u0026 Magnesium | 120 capsules | German Elite Nutrition","description":"\u003ch2\u003eKnockout by German Elite Nutrition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnockout is an \u003cstrong\u003eashwagandha supplement\u003c\/strong\u003e by German Elite Nutrition that combines eight ingredients in an evening formula.

What many people do not know is that not every ashwagandha extract on the market is standardized with the same level of precision, and you will notice that difference especially in the consistency between bottles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy this particular combination with magnesium, zinc, and B6\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium, zinc, and vitamin B6 are not random additions to this ashwagandha complex. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Zinc contributes to the normal functioning of the immune system. In this formula, magnesium is included as magnesium citrate, a form that dissolves well in water. Zinc is formulated as zinc bisglycinate, where the mineral is bonded to the amino acid glycine. Vitamin B6 is included as pyridoxal-5'-phosphate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow the daily dose is composed and how long a bottle lasts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder how the quantities in such a combination formula are put together. With 2 capsules per day, you get 600 mg of KSM-66® ashwagandha root extract, 60 mg of magnesium (16% of the reference intake), 2 mg of zinc (20% of the reference intake), and 20 mcg of vitamin B6 (16% of the reference intake). These are not mega doses, but amounts that align with what most people want to supplement in their diet through a supplement. A bottle of 180 capsules lasts for 90 daily doses at 2 capsules per day, well over three months, long enough to get used to a regular intake time without having to order a new bottle halfway through. The difference with a pure ashwagandha extract or an organic ashwagandha powder is not the plant itself, but what is around it: with a standalone extract you only buy ashwagandha and have to purchase magnesium, zinc, and B6 separately, while here you get the standardized KSM-66® extract and those three substances in a single capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsules and a regular intake time\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based substance, making the entire product vegan. In addition to the KSM-66® extract, magnesium citrate, zinc bisglycinate, and pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, this product contains no unnecessary fillers, so the formula is limited to what is functional. With a complex containing multiple ingredients, a regular intake time is just as important as the dosage itself. Most users take the 2 capsules together, with a meal, so that it is easier not to forget. A regular time in the daily routine is obvious, for example with breakfast or dinner. Take the capsules with plenty of water and do not increase the dosage on your own beyond what is indicated on the label.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50904099291474,"sku":"vit4-456","price":27.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-ashwagandha-ksm-66-complex-met-magnesium-1.png?v=1793698733"},{"product_id":"ashwa-ashwagandha-ksm-66®-magnesium-zink-b6-120-capsules-esn","title":"Ashwa+ (Ashwagandha KSM-66® + Magnesium, Zinc \u0026 B6) | 120 capsules | ESN","description":"\u003ch2\u003eESN Ashwa+ | 120 capsules\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eESN Ashwa+ is a dietary supplement with KSM-66® ashwagandha root extract, magnesium, zinc and vitamin B6.

In Ayurveda, the traditional Indian herbal medicine, it has been used for thousands of years. There, it is considered a rasayana. The name literally means \"smell of a horse\", referring to the smell of the root. The characteristic substances are called withanolides, a group of natural compounds found mainly in the root. Ashwagandha can help the body cope with stress*. Good to know: it is not a stimulant, you do not get a boost from it like with caffeine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePowder and extract together\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference with many other products lies in the composition. Himalaya uses not only ground root, but also a root extract and a supercritical CO2 extract. The latter is a technique where carbon dioxide under high pressure extracts plant substances from the root, without chemical solvents. Each plant part contains a different amount of withanolides. By combining the three forms, you get a broader profile in a single caplet. Per daily dose, there is 380 mg root powder, 280 mg root extract and 10 mg supercritical CO2 root extract, together 670 mg ashwagandha from the root. Ashwagandha supports during periods of mental and nervous tension* and can contribute to relaxation and physical and mental well-being*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eOrganic, vegan and without fillers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe caplets are held together by the plant material itself, not by additives.

This l-theanine from NOW Foods delivers 200 mg per capsule, supplemented with 100 mg of inositol. L-theanine is an amino acid naturally found in the leaves of the tea plant. NOW Foods calls this a double-strength capsule because it contains twice as much as a common 100 mg capsule. A pot contains 60 vegetarian capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat l-theanine is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-theanine is a unique amino acid. Most amino acids are building blocks of protein, but theanine belongs to the small group that occurs freely in nature without being part of a protein chain. It is found almost exclusively in tea, from the Camellia sinensis plant, and in a single mushroom species. In green and black tea, theanine is one of the substances that co-determine the characteristic, slightly umami-like flavor profile. The amount of theanine in a cup varies greatly depending on the type of tea, the harvest, and the brewing method: the longer and warmer you steep it, the more dissolves. To achieve a consistent amount, many people therefore opt for theanine as a separate supplement instead of relying on tea, where the content is unpredictable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheanine was first isolated from green tea in Japan in the mid-20th century. Since then, it has been one of the most researched substances from tea. Shade-grown tea varieties such as gyokuro and matcha naturally contain more theanine than regular green tea because the plant produces more of this amino acid under shade. However, the amount per cup remains difficult to control, which is precisely why a supplement with a fixed dosage is more practical for many people than relying on tea.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e200 mg theanine with 100 mg inositol\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 200 mg of l-theanine and 100 mg of inositol. The ratio is clearly stated on the label, without a hidden blend ratio where the individual amounts are omitted. So you know exactly what you're getting. Inositol is a substance that also occurs naturally in food, including grains, citrus fruits, and legumes; the body also produces it itself. In this product, it serves as a second, separately named ingredient alongside the theanine, not as a filler that conceals the dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegetarian capsule with a short composition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule is made of hypromellose, a plant-based material, making the product vegetarian. Furthermore, the formula contains only rice flour as a filler and silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent. No artificial colors, no broad herbal blend. Because the ingredient list is so short, you know exactly which substances are in each capsule and in what quantity. A slight color variation between batches is normal for a natural ingredient and does not indicate a difference in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause the theanine here is included separately and not linked to caffeine, you decide if and when to use caffeine with it. This is different from a cup of tea, where theanine and caffeine always enter together in a ratio that you cannot control.

Ashwagandha Shoden by GEN delivers 300 mg of standardized extract per capsule, obtained from the root and leaf of Withania somnifera. One jar contains 60 plant-based capsules, enough for two months at one capsule per day. Below we explain what this Shoden extract is exactly, where it comes from and what to look out for when comparing ashwagandha.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat ashwagandha actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha is a shrub that originally grows in India and the Middle East. In Ayurveda, traditional Indian medicine, the plant has been used for thousands of years. You sometimes hear the nickname Indian ginseng, although ashwagandha is botanically not related to real ginseng. The Latin name is Withania somnifera. In Sanskrit, ashwagandha means something like the smell of a horse, a reference to the distinctive smell of the fresh root. There are no EU-approved health claims for ashwagandha, so you will not read anything from us about what it would do in your body. What we can tell you is where the plant comes from, how the extract is made and how concentrated it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy 35% withanolides matters\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWithanolides are natural plant compounds in ashwagandha. The percentage on the label tells you how much of those compounds are in the extract. And there is a big difference between products. Most ashwagandha extracts are around 5% withanolides. Shoden is at 35%, so about seven times as concentrated per milligram. That level is fixed for every batch, because the raw material is measured via HPLC, a laboratory method that accurately determines the withanolide content. Two jars with the same amount of milligrams of extract can therefore differ greatly in withanolide content. When comparing ashwagandha capsules, you therefore look at the withanolide percentage and the source, and not just at the number of milligrams. In this product, 300 mg of Shoden extract delivers 105 mg of withanolide glycosides, and that number is fixed from capsule to capsule. That standardization is exactly what you pay for: not just a quantity of powder, but a measured and constant amount of withanolides. With loose ashwagandha powders without a percentage, you will never know for sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe difference between Shoden and KSM-66\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou often come across two names for ashwagandha: Shoden and KSM-66. Both are standardized extracts with a patented raw material, but they differ on two points. KSM-66 is obtained only from the root and is around 5% withanolides. Shoden uses the root and the leaf of the plant together, and thus reaches 35%. The leaf adds withanolides that you do not find in a root-only extract, which explains the difference in percentage. In practice, that means: with a common 5% extract, a daily dose often contains 600 mg or more, while this Shoden extract contains 300 mg in a single capsule. Which form suits you depends on your own preference, and whether you prefer to use a root-only extract or a root-and-leaf extract. Both names are registered raw materials with their own production process, so it is not about a brand on the packaging but about a real difference in source and concentration. When paying attention to the daily amount of extract, you therefore end up with less with Shoden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan and made in Germany\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule wall is made of plant-based cellulose (HPMC), so this product is vegan. There are no unnecessary additives in it: only the Shoden extract and the capsule itself. No fillers, no colorings or flavorings. The raw material comes from a fixed supplier and the production takes place in Germany, where every batch is checked for purity and for the withanolide content. This keeps the content the same from capsule to capsule. And because you take one capsule per day, a jar of 60 lasts two months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, with these ashwagandha capsules you bring a concentrated form of Withania somnifera into your home, with a fixed withanolide content per capsule and one capsule per day.

Intended for those who want to supplement their magnesium with this form, from a bottle that lasts a long time and without unnecessary additives around it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat magnesium bisglycinate is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMagnesium is never found on its own. It is always bound to another substance. With bisglycinate, magnesium is coupled with two molecules of glycine, a small amino acid. This coupling is called a chelate. And this is a truly chelated magnesium bisglycinate, not loose magnesium and loose glycine that just happen to be in the same capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Core Chelate raw material\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGEN uses the branded raw material Core Chelate® for this product, a fully reacted magnesium bisglycinate chelate. Fully reacted means that every magnesium ion is actually bound to the glycine, and is not loose next to it in the powder. That is an important difference, because not every product called magnesium bisglycinate is also truly fully chelated. Some powders are only partially reacted and therefore still contain a portion of unlinked magnesium. The raw material is also supplied as Ultra Fine Mesh 60, a fine grind that distributes the powder evenly through the capsule. This way you know that the 330 mg of magnesium per day comes from a controlled, chelated form and not from a mixture that is only called bisglycinate on paper. You can also read exactly on the label how many milligrams of elemental magnesium are in each daily dose, separate from the total weight of bisglycinate. This way you compare apples with apples when you place different magnesium products next to each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e330 mg magnesium per day and the permitted claims\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bottle contains 300 vegan capsules. At three capsules per day, that is 100 daily doses, or over three months' supply. You take the capsules with plenty of water, preferably spread throughout the day. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles and to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. In addition, magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to the electrolyte balance and to a normal energy-providing metabolism. Magnesium also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and plays a role in the cell division process. The reference intake for magnesium is 375 mg per day; this daily dose provides 330 mg (88% RI).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA pure, vegan formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe recipe has been deliberately kept bare. In addition to the magnesium bisglycinate, there is only a plant-based capsule shell and a small amount of anti-caking agent, nothing else. The product is vegan, gluten-free, lactose-free and free from added sugar, aspartame and soy lecithin. For those who want to know exactly what they are taking, this is clear. No flavorings or fillers are used. A chelated magnesium does not need to be more than the mineral, the glycine and the shell around it. By the way, because the capsule is plant-based, this magnesium bisglycinate also fits into a vegan or vegetarian diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: a magnesium bisglycinate with 330 mg of magnesium per day from the Core Chelate® raw material, in vegan capsules and with over three months' supply per bottle.

The special thing about this fiber is a physical property: it absorbs a lot of water and therefore expands considerably into a gel-like mass in your stomach. That is also the reason behind the intake advice. You take the capsules with plenty of water, one to two glasses, each time before a meal. And you never take them dry or just before bedtime. That is not a detail but a safety point: a fiber that expands must reach the stomach with enough moisture, otherwise it can get stuck in the esophagus. A daily dose of Crave Control provides 3040 mg of konjac fiber, divided over three doses of two capsules. We deliberately make no statements here about what else glucomannan would do in your body, because we adhere to the EU rules for health claims.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChromium in the formula\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the fiber, there is 200 mcg of chromium in the daily dose, in the form of chromium picolinate. That amounts to 500% of the reference intake, so it is generously dosed. Chromium is a trace element that occurs in small amounts in your body and in food, just like zinc or selenium. You find it naturally in small amounts in products such as whole grain products, nuts and meat. In this formula, chromium is one of the eight ingredients. Chromium picolinate is a common form in which chromium is found in supplements. We deliberately do not mention more than the amount and the form, because the same applies here: we may only say what falls within the EU claim rules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe six plant extracts\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrave Control is more than just glucomannan and chromium. The formula contains six plant extracts: fennel seed extract, green tea extract with 600 mg EGCG, baobab fruit extract, Ceylon cinnamon extract, griffonia extract as a natural source of 5-HTP, and saffron extract under the brand name Affron. These extracts each have a long tradition of use. We are legally allowed to say very little about their effects, because there are no approved claims for botanical ingredients yet. What we can mention are the facts on the label: the saffron comes from Crocus sativus and provides 1.05 mg of Lepticrosalides per daily dose, the griffonia naturally contains 100 mg of 5-HTP, and the green tea extract is standardized to 600 mg of EGCG. The baobab and Ceylon cinnamon are processed as whole plant extracts, and the fennel comes from fennel seeds. Together with glucomannan and chromium, these six extracts form the eight building blocks of the formula. That is immediately what distinguishes Crave Control from loose glucomannan powder: it bundles the fiber with a series of plant extracts in a capsule that you can easily take with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eEight ingredients and how to take them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn total, this formula counts eight ingredients, together 5926 mg per daily dose. The capsule shell is plant-based (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose), making Crave Control a vegan choice. One bottle contains 180 capsules, enough for thirty days at six capsules per day, divided over three doses of two. Take each dose before a meal with one or two glasses of water. Pay attention to a few points of attention. The green tea extract provides 600 mg of EGCG per daily dose, so do not take it on an empty stomach and do not use other products with green tea on the same day. The griffonia is a natural source of 5-HTP, which means you should be careful when using antidepressants or other medications that affect serotonin metabolism. The product is not suitable for pregnant women, breastfeeding women and persons under the age of 18.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short, Crave Control bundles glucomannan, chromium and six plant extracts in a single capsule. The glucomannan fiber only expands properly with enough water, so that intake advice is not a side note but the core of how you use the product.

In this product, it is included as a standardized branded extract in plant-based capsules, with a deliberately short list of ingredients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat saffron extract and Affron are\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaffron comes from the Crocus sativus flower. Only the red stigmas, the saffron threads, are harvested by hand. Thousands of flowers are needed for a small amount, making saffron one of the most valuable spices in the world per gram, and it is also known as red gold. Saffron extract is a concentrated form extracted from those threads. During harvest, the flowers are picked by hand and the three red stigmas per flower are collected separately, usually early in the morning before the flower opens. This labor-intensive harvest explains why saffron is so special and why the price per gram is so high. Affron is a branded extract from Pharmactive Biotech Products made from selected saffron threads. While regular saffron powder varies by harvest and origin, Affron is standardized to a fixed, defined composition. This way, you know exactly what you are getting with each capsule, instead of a varying amount of ground saffron. Saffron (Crocus sativus) can contribute to emotional balance and relaxation and help maintain a positive mood*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eStandardized to 3.5 percent Lepticrosalides, which means\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLepticrosalides are characteristic components of the Affron saffron extract. They are used as a quality marker: by standardizing the extract to 3.5 percent Lepticrosalides, the composition remains consistent from batch to batch. Standardization means that an extract is adjusted to a fixed amount of a specific component, instead of simply using ground saffron. Two capsules provide 30 mg of Affron with 1.05 mg of Lepticrosalides, which amounts to 15 mg of Affron per capsule. This fixed ratio is the difference between a standardized extract and loose saffron powder, whose content of characteristic components can vary per harvest. Affron and Lepticrosalides are registered trademarks of Pharmactive Biotech Products, S.L.U. What many people do not know: saffron has been used in Mediterranean cuisine for centuries, long before it appeared as a standardized extract in a capsule. Saffron helps maintain a good sense of comfort before and during the menstrual cycle*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom saffron threads to extract\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe saffron threads are harvested at the time of ripeness and carefully selected, usually manually because machine harvesting damages the delicate threads. This is followed by a gentle, water-based extraction to preserve the components of the threads without damaging them with aggressive solvents. Each batch is tested in independent laboratories for purity, content of characteristic components, and quality standards. The current laboratory analysis can be requested from Vit4ever. The extract is filled into capsules in Germany and Europe according to HACCP, GMP, and ISO 22000:2018 standards. Vit4ever has stood for dietary supplements with clear, transparent labeling and a wide range for daily use since 2016. Many people wonder why saffron extract in capsule form is more expensive than saffron threads from the spice shop. The difference lies in standardization: regular saffron threads give no guarantee about the content of Lepticrosalides, while this extract is specifically tested and adjusted for it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVegan capsule and short list of ingredients\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material, with rice flour as a filler. Furthermore, there are no unnecessary additives: no gelatin, no sugar, no colorings, flavorings, or preservatives, and the product is free from lactose, gluten, titanium dioxide, and nanoparticles. Anyone looking for saffron extract in capsule form will find a product here with a limited, clear composition and a net weight of 39 grams. The capsules themselves measure 22 by 9 mm and are therefore easy to swallow, even for those who have difficulty with larger capsules. The difference with loose saffron powder lies not only in the convenience of a capsule, but also in the precise, traceable dosage per piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith 120 capsules, you have a 60-day supply with two capsules per day.

About a third of all nerve cells in your brain use GABA. It is also found in food, especially in fermented products such as kimchi, tempeh and some types of tea, and in sprouted brown rice. The name, by the way, says something about its structure. Gamma means that the amino group is at the third carbon position from the acid group, and butyric acid refers to the skeleton of four carbon atoms. Plants and bacteria also produce it, and in plants it plays a role, among other things, in the response to stress such as drought and cold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy vitamin B6 is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour body produces GABA itself from glutamate. An enzyme is needed for this, glutamate decarboxylase, abbreviated GAD. And that enzyme cannot function without the active form of vitamin B6 as a cofactor. Without B6, that conversion therefore stalls. That is where the combination comes into play. Vitamin B6 contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B6 also contributes to normal psychological function. And vitamin B6 contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Green tea contains a relatively large amount of it, but an average cup only provides about 8 to 30mg. What many people do not know: your body does not use theanine to build proteins. In terms of shape, it looks very similar to glutamate, a signaling substance that your nerve cells use to transmit stimuli. The molecule itself has not been known for very long, however. Japanese researchers isolated it in 1949 from the leaves of gyokuro, an expensive shade-grown tea.

The difference lies in the rest of the leaf. In addition to theanine, tea leaves also contain polyphenols such as catechins, plant substances that give green tea its typical, slightly bitter taste. By adding the leaf itself, you get something of the whole and not just a single amino acid. Because the leaf is decaffeinated, the amount of caffeine per capsule remains negligible. This also makes the capsule usable later in the day, or for people who react sensitively to coffee and tea. Good to know: shade-grown tea such as matcha contains more theanine than regular green tea. The plant is placed in the shade just before harvest, and with less sunlight, the leaf converts less theanine into catechins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much l-theanine you actually get\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach capsule contains 100mg of theanine. According to the label, you take 1 capsule, 1 to 2 times per day, with a meal. Compared to regular tea, the difference is large.

About 60 percent is in your bones, the rest mainly in your muscles and soft tissues. It works as a kind of helper for enzymes: without magnesium, many processes do not get started. Magnesium contributes to a normal energy-yielding metabolism. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the muscles. Magnesium contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. And magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Magnesium is found in food including nuts, seeds, green leafy vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Magnesium contributes to the electrolyte balance.

With magnesium oxide, that is oxygen. That form contains a lot of magnesium per gram. With magnesium bisglycinate, each magnesium atom is bound to two molecules of glycine, a small amino acid. Scientists call that a chelate (a kind of claw grip around the mineral). Glycinate is bulky. To get 400 mg of pure magnesium, you quickly need three capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInulin and the rest of the capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to magnesium bisglycinate, the capsules contain inulin, a fiber from, for example, chicory root that serves as a filler here. The capsule itself is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, a plant-based material, so without gelatin. A small amount of magnesium salts of fatty acids ensures that the powder does not stick to the machines during filling. You take 3 capsules daily. Many people spread them throughout the day or take them together with dinner. Magnesium contributes to the maintenance of normal bones.

The name comes from its scent: freshly cut, the root smells like roses. It is a succulent with yellow flowers that grows in places where few other plants survive, such as the mountains of Scandinavia, Siberia, and the Alps. In Russia and Scandinavia, people have used the root for centuries, for example in tea during long, dark winters. For supplements, the root is dried and extracted. It can quickly take many kilos of dried root to produce just one kilo of extract. The plant also grows slowly: it takes several years before a root is large enough to harvest. In the wild, rose root has therefore become scarce in some places, which is why it is increasingly grown in fields. Rhodiola rosea supports mental and cognitive activity*.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSalidrosides, what does that one percent mean\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAn extract can only be properly compared if you know how much of the characteristic plant compounds it contains. That is why rhodiola extracts are usually standardized. This means that the manufacturer guarantees that a certain percentage of a marker compound is present. In rhodiola, these are mainly salidrosides and rosavins. This tablet contains 150 mg of extract with one percent salidrosides, so 1.5 mg per tablet. What many people do not know is that rosavins are only found in genuine Rhodiola rosea and not in related species.

This amino acid gives tea part of its mild, savory flavor. NOW Foods offers it here in double strength, with 200mg of L-theanine per capsule, supplemented with 100mg of inositol. The bottle contains 120 plant-based capsules, enough for four months at one capsule per day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat L-theanine actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eL-theanine is an amino acid that is found almost exclusively in the tea plant (Camellia sinensis) and in a few mushrooms. It is not a building block for proteins, like most amino acids you know. Chemically, it resembles glutamate and glutamine. A cup of green tea contains about 8 to 30mg of L-theanine, depending on the type and how long you let it steep. Shade-grown teas such as matcha and gyokuro clearly contain more, because the plant converts less theanine into bitter substances without sunlight. To get 200mg, you would therefore have to drink ten cups of tea quite quickly. And you would also get a large dose of caffeine with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow your body processes L-theanine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAfter swallowing, your small intestine absorbs L-theanine via the same transport proteins that also bring in other amino acids. Within about half an hour to an hour, it can be detected in your blood. After a few hours, your body breaks it down into ethylamine and glutamic acid, which you then excrete through your kidneys. Many people wonder whether you should take it on an empty stomach. NOW does indeed recommend this, because other amino acids from your meal will not compete for the same transport proteins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy inositol is included\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInositol is a sugar-like substance that your body makes itself from glucose. It used to be called vitamin B8, but because your body makes it itself, it is no longer an official vitamin. You can find it in citrus fruits, beans, nuts, and whole grains. In your cells, inositol is a building block of phospholipids in the cell membranes, and it plays a role as a second messenger. That is a substance that transmits a signal from outside the cell to the inside of the cell. NOW combines the 200mg of theanine with 100mg of inositol.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: this is a concentrated form of the amino acid from tea, without the caffeine and without the ten cups. By the way, the Japanese researcher Sakato isolated L-theanine back in 1949 from the leaves of gyokuro, one of the most expensive Japanese tea varieties. In Japan, it is even added as an ingredient to beverages and candy. These capsules are plant-based, and the L-theanine is produced in China, after which NOW tests and processes it in the United States.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816733495634,"sku":"Now-066","price":33.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/l-theanine-200mg-double-strength-now-foods.jpg?v=1790166968"},{"product_id":"ashvagandha","title":"Ashwagandha | 60 Tablets | Himalaya","description":"\u003ch2\u003eHimalaya Ashwagandha Tablets\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLooking for an easy way to add ashwagandha to your day?

Its Latin name is Withania somnifera. In Ayurveda (traditional Indian herbal medicine), people mainly use the root, which is also the part used in these tablets. What many people don't know is that the name comes from Sanskrit and refers to the scent of the fresh root, which is said to resemble that of a horse. Himalaya spells the name as Ashvagandha on the packaging, another transliteration of the same word. The root naturally contains withanolides (plant compounds typical of this species). An extract concentrates the compounds from the root, so even a small tablet provides a substantial amount of plant material. In short: you are taking a concentrated extract, not ground root.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy people use ashwagandha\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany people wonder exactly what ashwagandha does.

Instead of one large capsule, you take two small tablets spread throughout the day, each after a meal. The tablets have a film coating, making them easy to swallow and reducing the earthy taste of the root. It is worth noting that they contain only a few excipients, such as microcrystalline cellulose as a bulking agent and silicon dioxide to prevent clumping. No colourings, sweeteners or ingredients of animal origin. The bottle contains 60 tablets, enough for 30 days, and the packaging is recyclable. Also, because the dose is pre-measured, there is no need to calculate or weigh it as you would with loose powder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAshwagandha is one of the best-known herbs in Ayurveda, and Himalaya keeps these ashwagandha tablets deliberately simple: a root extract, a fixed daily dose of 500 mg and a tablet that is easy to take, whether at home or on the go.
