The perfect multivitamin supplement offers an all-round nutritional package. This includes more than just the pure provision of vitamins, minerals and trace elements, instead going one step further by also containing other valuable substances, such as plant extracts or bacterial cultures.

As a rule, multivitamin supplements are recommended to be taken with a meal. The fat content enables the body to properly absorb the fat-soluble vitamins from the supplement. However, as multivitamin supplements can have very different compositions, it is best to follow the manufacturer's recommended dosage.

A balanced diet is very important. In the case of deficiency or in special life situations (e.g. pregnancy), supplements can be useful. Vitamins from dietary supplements are no different from those from foodstuffs and are equally well absorbed by the body.

Vitamins and minerals are vital substances that have to be ingested via our diet. Naturally, the “dose makes the poison” here – by the way, this applies to all substances in our food, such as fat, sugar or salt. There is a legal framework for nutritional supplements and dietary foods for special medical purposes, determining the amounts of vitamins and minerals that can be used. The credo is always: A dietary food or nutritional supplement has to be safe! The dosages used in quality supplements are therefore always nutritional and far below the defined critical values.

Special supplements can help us to avoid bone breakdown, or even improve bone density. Recommended preparations are based on the latest study findings and not only provide the bone classics calcium, vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, but also lesser-known bone nutrients such as magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, manganese and boron, which contribute to the strengthening of bones.

A balanced diet, a year-round good vitamin D supply and regular exercise are crucial. In addition, special preparations with vitamin D, vitamin K2, calcium and magnesium can help to promote bone health and prevent osteoporosis.

The best vitamin B12 preparations come from trustworthy manufacturers and ideally contain the natural vitamin B12 forms methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin and hydroxycobalamin. They are also as free as possible from unnecessary additives.

To optimise your iron absorption, we recommend consuming iron-rich foods such as meat, legumes, whole grain products and green vegetables. It's best to combine these with vitamin C-rich foods such as paprika or oranges, as vitamin C improves iron absorption. If you have difficulty getting enough iron through diet or have a higher daily iron requirement, you can also take iron supplements.

Just as the bone breaks down it can also rebuild itself. A limited increase in bone density through nutritional measures is possible, but this is a lengthy process that can take several years. Even stopping bone loss and preserving bone mass is a success. For a long time, it was assumed that calcium alone was responsible for bone strength. We now know more about the interaction of various components of nutrition (calcium, magnesium, phosphorus, boron, silicon, vitamin D, vitamin K) and lifestyle (sufficient movement and exercise, not smoking, moderate alcohol consumption). To maintain and rebuild bone density, it makes sense to take special supplements that supply all of the necessary micro-nutrients in the right quantities. Common calcium + vitamin D preparations lack essential active ingredients. Long-term use is important.

Hyaluronic acid, collagen, vitamin C, zinc and vitamin E play a key role in skin health and regeneration.
