VITALITY
Daily energy, hormone and immune support for people who want more - at work, in sports and life.
Far from hype and trendy hacks - VITALITY unites latest science and botanical tradition into a multitude of EFSA-approved health benefits in one single product.
Formulated to provide a strong micronutrient foundation and help cover any gaps to build a robust health baseline. Perfect for all men and women aged 30+.
- Maca (Lepidium meyenii) – traditional root for vitality
Maca is a root vegetable grown at high altitude in the Peruvian Andes and used locally for centuries as both a food and a traditional medicine. It is naturally rich in micronutrients like calcium, copper, B2, zinc, iron and secondary plant compounds.
- Helps to maintain physical and mental performance and vitality
- Helps to support stamina and general well-being
In VITALITY, maca is included as part of the overall botanical and adaptogen blend that complements the micronutrient base.
- Phytonutrients – powerful plant compounds for daily support
VITALITY provides a blend of phytonutrient-rich botanicals. Phytonutrients are found in fruits, vegetables, and other plant-based foods. They are known for their antioxidant and cell protective properties. These compounds, including flavonoids, carotenoids, quercetin and polyphenols like OPC support overall wellbeing. Incorporating phytonutrients into your diet through supplements and preferably whole foods can significantly enhance overall wellbeing.
The European Food and Safety Agency (EFSA) discusses that such botanicals are typically associated with traditional uses like:
- helping to protect cells from oxidative stress
- supporting physical and mental vitality
- supporting general well-being in the context of a healthy lifestyle
In our communication we treat these as background information on traditional use. To learn more about OPC and phytonutrients, we can recommend the following literature:
- B-vitamins & zinc together – energy, hormone balance and anti-fatigue angle
When B-vitamins and zinc are provided together in adequate amounts, their authorised functions complement each other:
- B-vitamins support energy-yielding metabolism, reduction of tiredness and fatigue, nervous system function and psychological function.
- Zinc supports normal protein and macronutrient metabolism, immune function and hormonal balance (including the maintenance of normal testosterone levels).
From a scientific perspective, this combination supports the biochemical background needed for:
- turning dietary carbohydrates, fats and proteins into usable cellular energy,
- maintaining normal hormone-related functions that influence metabolism and performance,
- and supporting mental and physical functioning in everyday life.
In our communication, we stay within these EU-authorised health claims for B-vitamins and zinc and do not attribute any additional, unapproved effects to the combination.
- Coenzyme Q10 – mitochondrial and antioxidant background
CoQ10 is a molecule found in mitochondria that is involved in producing energy for the body. It also plays an important role in the endogenous antioxidant system. Tissues with a high energy requirement, such as the heart, kidneys, liver and muscles, have particularly high levels of coenzyme Q10 (bfr.bund.de).
To learn more about Q10, we can recommend the following literature:
RECOVERY
RECOVERY unites latest science and botanical tradition into a multitude of EFSA-approved health benefits in one single product to support your physical and psychological needs while you sleep*.
Designed for evening use as part of your wind-down routine – for people who want normal sleep and wake up feeling ready for work, sport and everyday life.
- Zinc, Magnesium (ZMA) & B6 complex
Zinc and magnesium are essential minerals that work in many fundamental processes in the body. Magnesium alone is involved in about 300 metabolic processes inside the body. In our ZMA blend, zinc contributes to protein synthesis, the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood and plays a role within cellular processes. Magnesium supports the normal muscle function, the functioning of the nervous system, protein synthesis, electrolyte balance and the energy-yielding metabolism. Vitamin B6 supports the regulation of hormonal activity such like the Serotonin-Melatonin cycle.
Because of this profile, ZMA+B6 offers strong core nutrients used in sports and evening formulas where muscle function, nervous system function and hormonal regulation are in focus.
- Apigenin - a powerful flavonoid
Apigenin is a plant flavonoid naturally present in chamomile and other herbs while chamomile has traditionally been used to support relaxation and to help maintain normal sleep. Research is ongoing into its role in the body, but there are currently no authorised EU health claims for apigenin. In RECOVERY, chamomile extract is included as part of the overall plant-based formula. Numerous studies across multiple animal models also suggest that apigenin interacts with the NAD+ pathways.
To learn more about Apigenin, we can recommend the following literature:
- L-Tryptophan - A serotonin and melatonin precursor
CREATINE MONOHYDRATE
L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce and must obtain from the diet. Amino acids influence many hormones, including melatonin and serotonin - the pacemakers of your day-night rhythm. L-tryptophan is used to build body proteins and serves as a precursor for several important compounds, including serotonin and melatonin, via specific metabolic pathways.
CREATINE monohydrate delivers one powerful ingredient whose function has been extensively studied. The effects have been recognized by the European Commission. Each daily serving of provides ~5 g of pure creatine monohydrate.
- Creatine – high-intensity performance
Creatine is a compound formed from three amino acids and stored mainly in your muscles, with smaller amounts in other tissues such as the brain. It is one of the most studied nutrients in sports nutrition. It increases physical performance where more power ensures better training results.
- Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g creatine.
- Creatine – strength beyond the mid-age
As we age, natural creatine level drop within our cells. The same goes for many other factors like hormones, strength, muscle mass, just to name a few. Creatine is specially beneficial to promote muscle strength, even at higher ages. As a result, more strength leads to more training intensity which stimulates muscle growth in combination with regular training and healthy nutrition.
- Daily creatine consumption can enhance the effect of resistance training on muscle strength in adults over the age of 55 years.
