An optimal multivitamin can do so much more for you.
In this article you will learn what is important.
I Principles
Combine, up dose, down dose and keep at it.
The term “multivitamin” tempts us to focus our attention only on vitamins. This view is misleading and the focus should be on an overall view of the actual, much more complex issue:
A good multivitamin therefore consists not only of various vitamins, but also of amino and fatty acids, minerals and trace elements.
A serious multivitamin would have to be “Multi-Vitamin-A-B1-B2-B3-B5-B6-B7-B9-B12-C-D-E-K-Arginine-Histidine-Isoleucine-Leucine-Lysine-Methionine-Phenylalanine-Threonine-tryptophan-valine-omega-3-omega-6-calcium-chromium-iron-iodine-potassium-cobalt-copper-lithium-magnesium-manganese-molybdenum-phosphorus-sulfur-selenium-silicon-vanadium-zinc”. However, because this name is a bit bulky, I refer to this super formula as a multivitamin.
The recipe for life
The recipe of our life consists of the following 57 vital ingredients [2].
If even one of these substances is missing, we cannot fully develop our potential. Thus, the hoped-for result does not occur: Our efforts are in vain.
Some of the listed vital substances we take in sufficient quantities in our daily diet, such as sodium in the form of table salt. Others, however, are absorbed in very different inadequate amounts. That is why it is not sensible to add the same amount of each vital substance, because not everyone lacks it to the same extent. There is a need for a concept that knows the current supply situation of the person.
The minimum law rethought
A few pages ago, you learned that 57 vital substances are needed in coherent amounts to provide our bodies with optimal nutrition. Why now these 57 in combination and not just a few of them?
Have you ever baked a loaf of bread by omitting either the yeast, the water, the salt, or the flour? It won’t succeed, much less taste good. Each ingredient is essential – that is, necessary. It is the same with the body and its supply of vital substances: The 57 vital substances are essential and work together. And even if short-term, selective problems can be concealed by targeted individual vitamins, this can lead to problematic supply imbalances in the long term. For the minimum law made famous by Justus Liebig applies not only to plant nutrition, but also to the nutrition of humans and animals. Transferred to us humans it says: Our body can only develop as well as the scarcest vital substance allows.
Quality and quantity
We all know the motto “less is more”. This means that particularly good quality is preferred to quantity. Quality also has a central role in my tried and true recipe:
Thus, for an excellent product, high quality ingredients must be sourced and incorporated into the recipe. It’s like all walks of life: Poor, cheap raw materials never make a masterpiece. Those who have good “vitamin B” and have built up relationships with the best producers in the industry have a clear advantage.
In addition, there is a larger, probably even more significant piece of the puzzle: excellent networking is important, but not sufficient for a quality product. Up-to-date specialist knowledge of the ingredients as well as constant study of specialist literature and experience reports are indispensable for the permanent further development of good products.
In addition to the quality, the quantity of the ingredients used also determines the end product. The magic word here is “high dose”. Conventional products are often very low in dosage. To get the most out of the product, the dose must be high enough. So Viptamin stands for “quality plus quantity”.
Keeping track is a lot of work. Carrying out this work conscientiously is our daily bread: just as you would trust the master baker to get up early in the morning and bake your favourite bread for you, you can rely on us as the manufacturer of your unique multivitamin.
Our four pillars
In summary, the four essential points for an optimal supply of vital substances to the body are:
This knowledge will help you distinguish a good from a useless multivitamin and make better decisions than many others.
How it all began
Why Viptamin manages to make a product that is so much higher quality than other “multivitamins” is closely related to my personal story.
Already at the age of five I was diagnosed with severe neurodermatitis. The disease manifested itself in severe itching and violent skin rashes, which led to a constant lack of concentration, especially as a child and later as an adolescent.
Cortisone treatments promised short-term relief, but were and are not a long-term solution because of the negative side effects. A large number of conventional medical and naturopathic attempts failed to effectively treat atopic dermatitis.
As a young man, I decided to stop putting my fate in the hands of other people. Instead, I wanted to train as a naturopath myself and thus learn more about holistic health. I was 30 years old when a good friend recommended I try high dose multivitamins.
At first this sounded strange, after all it was and still is a widespread opinion that we take in enough nutrients through our daily diet and that at most only small supplements of individual vitamins are needed when we have a cold, for example. I was extremely sceptical, but finally agreed to try it myself, because all other forms of therapy were unsuccessful. After a few months, there was indeed relief from the symptoms. After one year of regular use, the neurodermatitis had disappeared. For the first time in my life, I was able to focus on myself, sleep well and no longer had an itch. More than 25 years of suffering were now a thing of the past and the following 25 years were also free of neurodermatitis thanks to highly dosed and coordinated vital substances.
This story is my story. After understanding what helped me, I began to research, read, network, and educate myself intensely. At that time there was no suitable multivitamin and I did not want to take a large number of capsules every day, which in combination would have ensured a comprehensive supply. For this reason, I began step by step to develop my own formula, which I tested exclusively on myself for two years. After I completed my training as a naturopath, I opened my practice.
I specialized in vital substances. Again and again, patients approached me about nutritional supplements. They wanted to know from me what I could recommend. Neither on the domestic nor on the foreign market did I find products that met my requirements. I found good individual products, but not a single product that combined these individual products in a high-quality product. The major manufacturers were not interested in an optimal multivitamin because there was too little demand for it. However, both my patients and myself were very interested in it: I began to develop it myself. I would like to spare you the countless steps up to the market-ready product at this point.
The name “Viptamin” was born in the Bavarian countryside. There I attended a seminar in orthomolecular medicine. After a hearty meal, there was nothing else I could do on site but go to my room and think about a coherent product name that combines vitamins, minerals and amino acids. Since I assumed that high-quality products like mine are bought by people who have earned the status of “very important person”, the name Viptamin was born.
My products were well received as there was nothing else like them. Inquiries from home and abroad followed. The success of my client base made me incredibly happy. Developing health products for discerning people was the most wonderful challenge I could have wished for. So in parallel I started to design other useful products and to improve them permanently. Now, many years later, my curiosity and desire to optimize is still as strong as it was when it all started.
Some manufacturers have tried to copy my products. However, they overlooked the fact that Viptamin products were developed from practical experience for practical use and that deviations in the composition also lead to distortions in the results. You can’t copy something that you don’t understand in its depth. My loyal Viptamin customers appreciate that.
Our formula of the main product is prepared from the best quality ingredients and constantly improved according to current knowledge and research, which is why there is only one original: the Premium Multivitamin Complete Forte.
My view of the world: Take the best, forget the rest
Since my products have a lot to do with me as a person, a little insight into what makes me tick might be of interest to you.
I’m a quality person. It wasn’t always that way. I, too, have only evolved into this over the course of a lifetime of not-so-good and very good experiences. This development took place in all areas of life. I noticed over time that it became more and more important to me to live and act according to the principle of quality. Have you ever worked with bad tools, had to deal with clueless craftsmen or colleagues or got stuck with an unmotivated customer service that didn’t do anything for you except for waiting time or much too high costs?
If so, how did that make you feel? Probably frustrated, stressed, humiliated and drained. Through many negative experiences it became clear to me: Who appreciates quality and renounces the stupid “stinginess is cool” doctrine, life brings much more relaxed and many happy moments. For me, this is particularly the case in the areas of genuine friendships, food and drink. The fact that the products I buy and produce myself follow these guidelines is not only incredibly important, but a matter of course. The concept of quality plays a prominent role for me.
Somewhere along the way, I realized that there’s even a kind of technical term for my sense of quality that I’m very fond of: Sturgeon’s Law. It says 90% of everything is junk. Whether it’s books, movies, music, products and your own thoughts – 90% of it is useless. It doesn’t get us anywhere, it wastes our time. How much junk have you bought in your life? Junk that sits around uselessly collecting dust. Junk you bought because it was on sale, because they thought it would benefit them, or because they thought it would get them ahead.
But also 90% of our wishes, our desires, our longings are not valuable to us. So everything should always be subjected to a thorough review. “Buy 3 pay 2,” the ads entice. My answer to that? I would like to have class instead of mass, and excellent quality. Admittedly: The essence behind Sturgeon’s Law sounds harsh and is pointedly worded, but to me it is coherent. By the way, if you’re not sure if something is junk or not, it’s junk.
The Act & Relax principle
I offer here a simple way of thinking and seeing that I live well with. Once understand something essential – and health is essential – correctly, after that just act on it without much effort. That’s enough: Once you get something right, in the long run you can sit back and relax and do the right thing. Act & Relax.
Acting intelligently in this context means recognizing the potential of vital substances and applying it. As a user, it is not necessary to understand the complex interrelationships and processes behind it. Rather, it’s about keeping the big picture in mind. Details are interesting, no question, but it’s not critical to your success. It is not necessary for users to study the 47 individual nutrients in detail. It is more important to ensure an optimal and long-lasting supply of vital substances for the body in everyday life. It is practical intelligence that is critical to success here.
Once you have internalized this and integrated it into your life, you can sit back and not have to worry about it anymore. He can relax. Act & relax therefore: very simple, very effective.
Those who act according to this principle know about the necessity and the complexity of an optimal supply of the body. Constant testing for individual nutrients in the body often causes uncertainty and not infrequently leads us to lose focus on the essentials. Depending on the nutritionist, alternative practitioner or doctor, completely different and often contradictory statements and recommendations are made.
Vitamin deficiency is more widespread than generally assumed
Many people think that vitamin deficiencies are rare, that they themselves are not affected by them and that a “normal” lifestyle is sufficient to ensure a good supply. The fatal error in that? The optimum is not reached. Reference values, as you find them in the ingredients as percentages, are correct, but these are – and this is decisive – only minimum values. A minimal intake prevents diseases such as scurvy (vitamin C deficiency) or beriberi (vitamin B1 deficiency). But with these minimal dosages you are far from using the full potential of these impressive vital substances.
Modern vital substance research has proven in countless studies that vitamins have a much greater health potential when taken in larger quantities. The National Nutrition Survey II [4], for which representative data were collected in order to map the nutritional status of Germans, revealed in part serious deficits in the supply of vitamins and trace elements. Our complex defence system, which protects us day after day from pathogens such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites and others. consists of a large number of different minute proteins. It must be incessantly supplied with vital substances for optimal function. If even one important vitamin is missing, the immune system no longer functions properly. If the body is not sufficiently supplied, the natural protective mechanism suffers.
Combining technology & nature – the key to success
Whether naturally occurring vitamins or those developed in the laboratory are better for the organism is a subject of much debate. Personally, I am a proponent of combining nature, creativity and technology. Man has made use of many effects and tricks that can be observed in nature in order to harness them for himself – and with great success:
Leonardo da Vinci intensively studied the flight of birds in order to imitate it technically. For the stabilization of lightweight structures and high-rise buildings, engineers are looking at the natural structure of grasses such as bamboo. They are true marvels and can survive any wind without being damaged due to their hollow and light stalks.
My Viptamin Complete Forte is an expression of this attitude. In it, I combine the respective advantages of both variants and combine vital substances that are obtained directly from natural foods with those that are isolated from natural substances by means of technological processes. Completely synthetic substances that do not exist in nature are not used in the product.
What all my products have in common is that they are based on orthomolecular expert knowledge, current research results and many years of practical experience. The goal is and remains to be able to offer products in maximum concentration, purity and bioavailability.
To anticipate the reflexive “But nature is always better!” outcry right away:
Modern research reveals that some isolated vitamins are equivalent and in some cases superior to natural ones for the following reasons:
The chemical structure of most vitamins produced in isolation does not differ in any way from their natural counterpart. Nobel Prize-winning research proves the successful isolation and clinical studies are also carried out on the basis of isolated substances. Our organism can use both forms equally well.
However, the bioavailability of both forms is different. While isolated vitamins are directly available to the body, natural vitamins are organically bound in complexes and must first be broken down. For example, just 2% of the vitamin A contained in a carrot can be utilised. This is also pointed out by the German consumer advice centre [5]. Whereas our isolated vitamin A contained in Komplett Forte is almost 100% available.
In addition, the quality of isolated substances can be controlled much better and, above all, they can be highly dosed. We can precisely control the concentration of our vitamins, which of course is not possible with pure plant extracts: we would have to consume very large quantities of fruit and vegetables every day or extremely concentrate plant substances in order to cover our nutrient requirements. In doing so, you would also have to consume a very large and unhealthy amount of fructose. From my multivitamin Complete Forte one scoop is enough to provide the body with optimal nutrition, because I combine isolated and pure natural substances in such a way that the benefits of both are maximized.
The vital substances we use are very pure. I can assure you that there are no pesticide residues, pathogens or pollutants from the air, water or soil in this preparation. I strictly reject genetically modified foods and do not want them in my shopping cart or in my products. Not all manufacturers of complex plant extracts can guarantee this. We carry out appropriate independent laboratory tests for each batch.
The standardized production of vitamins does not have to be seen as unnatural or even unhealthy. A good manufacturer goes to work like a craftsman with the best ingredients and high quality tools. For the production of my form of vitamin C, corn is used as the starting material. By means of natural fermentation, industrious bacteria ensure that pure vitamin C is produced after many intermediate steps.
In the case of cheap products, vitamin C is often obtained from crude oil or crude petrol or even by using genetic engineering. This doesn’t even have to be labeled in the final product. Such a method is out of the question for viptamine [5].
Of course, insulated fabrics lack the necessary companions and supplements. Enzymes, co-factors, minerals, trace elements and secondary plant substances are essential for activation in the organism. Positive synergistic effects from plant extracts do not occur with isolated substances. So that the body does not have to get the necessary accompanying substances from its own reserves, I combine vitamins with plant powder, superfruit and vegetable extracts from certified organic cultivation as well as bioflavonoids and flavonols in a balanced ratio. So I supply the necessary activators directly.
Thus, a triple effect is achieved: maximum concentration of the substances, optimal bioavailability and synergies.
Spices such as pepper or turmeric also play a role in my formula: pepper contains piperine, turmeric contains curcumin – both are high-quality, plant-based organic enhancers, they strengthen among other things. the bioavailability and efficacy of ingested vitamins, minerals, amino acids and phytochemicals [6 und 7].
It goes without saying that no additives of any kind are used, such as sugar, colourings and preservatives, fillers and modified starch as a thickening agent or aluminium as a separating agent. This is another thing that sets Komplett Forte apart from the bulk of the supposed alternatives.
Nature is clearly better here: vitamin E and methylcobalamin
The molecular structures of isolated and natural vitamin E are different. The natural vitamin E is clearly superior to the isolated one.
Natural vitamin E occurs in nature not only in the alpha, but also in a beta, gamma and delta form. In total, at least 16 different forms of this vitamin are known to exist in nature. In addition, the isolated vitamin E form cannot be optimally utilized by the body. Therefore, we use natural vitamin E in this case. This is the only way we can meet our quality standards.
There are also significant differences in the quality of vitamin B12. Those who buy according to the motto “stinginess is cool” receive artificially produced cyanocobalamin. 95% of all vitamin B12 products use this cheap variant, which can hardly be absorbed by the body. We use the natural form, but go one step further: as with vitamin E, there are also different variants of B12. We use a blend of all three natural and bioactive forms of vitamin B12. All three fulfil completely different tasks in the body and have different focal points of action.
We see: A blanket assessment or classification does not do justice to the matter. Natural vitamins are not in every case better than vitamins produced under perfect conditions. It all depends on the individual case. The important thing is to keep your goals in mind. In our case, that means:
The best possible multivitamin for humans in terms of health. That’s what we strive for.
II Observations
Vitamins – The vital team workers and all-rounders
As explained at the beginning, vitamins are useful in combination. Individual income brings little, and if it does, then only in the short term. In the following I would like to explain this exemplarily with the example of calcium for strengthening the bones:
We all know the positive effect of the vital mineral calcium. Calcium not only ensures the strength of bones and teeth, but also the transmission of stimuli in nerves and muscles. It also plays an important role in stabilizing our cell membranes and blood clotting. The largest calcium store in the body is our skeleton [8].
Let’s take a closer look at this calcium in bone formation: In order to ensure effective bone formation and prevent blood vessels from calcifying or kidney stones from forming, vitamins D and K2 are also needed. Vitamin K2 transports calcium to the bone and vitamin D controls bone formation. However, vitamin D can only perform its control function if sufficient vitamin A is available. And without adequate amounts of magnesium, vitamin D doesn’t even become active.
This highly simplified excerpt is intended to illustrate that it takes more than a vitamin or mineral to ensure normal bodily functions and prevent damage. For this reason, the combination of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, amino acids and secondary plant substances makes sense in the long term.
Vitamin C – as indispensable as the air we breathe
Probably the best known vitamin by far is vitamin C. It is no coincidence that this vitamin has a first-class reputation – after all, it is a real all-rounder. While most animals produce vitamin C in the liver, the human body lacks the appropriate enzyme. Since our bodies can’t store it either, we need to consume it regularly. This knowledge is not so old. While Arab sailors revered the date palm and indulged in the consumption of sun-ripened, long-lasting date fruits containing precisely vitamin C [9], more European sailors lost their lives through a lack of vitamin C than at the hands of the enemy.
Most people today have probably already heard of the deficiency disease scurvy. Symptomatic are diarrhea, depression and fatigue, joint inflammation and muscle atrophy, bleeding gums and hair loss, severe fever and dizziness up to blindness and finally agonizing death due to cardiac insufficiency. For centuries, physicians tried to solve the problem, but it was not until the mid-18th century that James Cook made a breakthrough. The English ship’s doctor James Lind had discovered that fresh fruit was effective against scurvy.
In addition to the dry rusks and dried meat that had been customary on board until then, Cook introduced sauerkraut, orange juice and lemon juice as provisions for the voyage. From then on, scurvy was no longer a big problem. After that, it took almost two more centuries until the Hungarian physician Albert Szent-Györgyi von Nagyrápolt isolated ascorbic acid (vitamin C) from plant extracts in the mid-1920s and was thus able to explain the cause of scurvy [10 und 11].
Vitamin C protects our cells from highly reactive and aggressive oxygen compounds, the so-called “free radicals”. These are caused on the one hand by the body’s own metabolic processes and on the other hand by harmful external influences such as UV radiation or various toxins. Free radicals are the cause of arteriosclerosis, arthritis, premature skin aging, cardiovascular diseases and various cancers. Their adversaries are the antioxidants. On their own, they are rather inconspicuous. As a team, however, they are true superheroes. They act as a mutually supportive network and are both produced in the body (enzymes, hormones, metabolites) and ingested through food and supplements (vitamins C and E, beta carotene, lycopene, zeaxanthin, selenium, etc.) [12].
Vitamins C and E form a particularly powerful team, like the movie heroes Bud Spencer and Terence Hill. The fat-soluble vitamin E acts as a radical scavenger, whereupon vitamin C renders the free radicals harmless and removes them. But to reduce vitamin C to these functions would not do justice to the true greatness of this all-rounder. Other vitamins and minerals also only develop their full potential in combination with vitamin C. It is involved in numerous physical and mental processes in the body and fulfils a key function in the immune system.
Vitamin C in its most effective form
We humans cannot produce ascorbic acid (vitamin C) ourselves, but it is vital to take L-ascorbic acid. The vitamin C contained in natural foods such as citrus fruits is not a pure vitamin C. We consume it with other secondary plant substances. Vitamin C, on the other hand, which is often obtained in the laboratory by yeast fermentation, is pure vitamin C. Both forms have their raison d’être and support the immune system.
However, research has shown that ascorbates are much better tolerated than ascorbic acid due to alkaline buffering. They also have a pleasant taste. This allows higher doses of vitamin C to be absorbed. Modern supplement manufacturers have adapted their product according to this knowledge.
Vitamin C is normally soluble in water. Today, however, the fat-soluble ascorbyl palmitate is also used, which can pass the blood-brain barrier, giving even more effective results. The combination of different forms of vitamin C increases the effectiveness enormously, because each form has its strengths and is effective in a specific area. To always be close to research and to further develop its product. This makes an excellent producer and offers the best quality to the customers.
Vitamin D – The 007 sun hormone
The second best-known vitamin is vitamin D. In the autumn of each year, the time has come: the dark half of the year is ushered in. Less sun means a much lower intake of vitamin D. Secretly, vitamin D is more like a hormone – with license to masquerade as a vitamin.
But why is that? People didn’t know any better back then, and some people have a hard time with change. Since our body can produce vitamin D itself under the influence of sunlight and does not necessarily have to be ingested with food like other vitamins, it represents a hormone precursor.
But why do we need this fat-soluble hormone at all?
Vitamin D is involved in cell division [13] and regulates calcium, phosphate, muscle and bone metabolism [14]. In addition, the higher the vitamin D intake, the lower the risk of type 2 diabetes [14 und 15].
A vitamin D deficiency is noticeable in fatigue, muscle weakness, depressed mood, susceptibility to infections and rickets. Vitamin D deficiency runs like a thread through the population and can lead to bone softening and osteoporosis, especially in the elderly [13]. That corona patients with good vitamin D supply have a demonstrably milder disease course [16], unfortunately did not seem to be a significant approach politically in 2020 that was pursued accordingly. So we should by no means leave precaution to the governments of this world. The strategy of fear apparently fits better with the business model of pharmaceutical companies, which are primarily interested in sales.
Those who believe that solarium visits in winter are sufficient to replace the missing sun rays are lulling themselves into a false sense of security. Unfortunately, the artificial lights produce UV-A and not the required UV-B rays, which is why this approach promises little success.
You may have also read this article “Vitamin D under fire: a wonder drug loses its magic” read here: [17] .
Sobering study results are reported. A typical case, because if you look at the original studies mentioned, the studies were done with vitamin D only. Those who study the subject in more detail know that vitamin D without K2 and calcium has no health benefits. It’s a shame that so much money is spent on pointless individual studies. Often too low a dosage is used in studies when no positive results are found. Unfortunately, mainstream medicine almost always seeks the Holy Grail in a single substance. She never found him. It is found elsewhere: in the conscious combination of natural forces.
Who knows the A-B-C well, also appreciates the zinc element
Another element with a key function is zinc. It is one of the most important trace elements in the human body. We harbor about 1.5 – 2.5 grams in us. Zinc is one of the indispensable vital substances of all living beings and, like vitamin C, must be supplied regularly through the diet due to its lack of storage capacity. Since it is involved in almost all metabolic processes, an optimal zinc supply should always be guaranteed. However, this is influenced and limited by many factors. For example, the intake of supposedly sufficient zinc may result in an insufficient amount being available to the body due to poor bioavailability. Whether antioxidant, growth, digestion, regeneration, immune defense, sensory functions, skin, hair, nails, acid-base balance and much more: zinc is involved everywhere and is found in more than 300 enzymes [18]. Life without zinc would not be possible.
However, not all zinc is the same. As already described with other vital substances, there are also clear differences in quality here. I use zinc for my multivitamin as organic zinc bisglycinate. According to current research, this zinc compound is the one with the highest bioavailability.
The zinc here is bound to the amino acid glycine, which makes it much easier for the body to absorb. In direct comparison with other zinc compounds, zinc bisglycinate shows up to 300 % better absorption.
The vital trace element zinc influences more than 3000 proteins produced by the body. It is essential for maintaining the immune system, metabolism and fertility, for cell division and DNA synthesis, and for keeping our eyes healthy. Misleading and problematic in this element are the indications on the recommended daily dose and on intake:
It is often recommended to take zinc fasting [19]. However, taking it this way quickly leads to stomach pain, which is why I don’t recommend it. The simultaneous intake of protein and zinc is particularly recommended, because only through the zinc can the amino acids develop their potential, such as muscle and bone formation.
The risk of zinc deficiency is particularly evident in children, adolescents, the elderly, pregnant and lactating women, athletes and vegetarians [20]. However, the following risk groups are also affected: Allergy and neurodermatitis sufferers, diabetics and people with chronic inflammatory diseases.
Do I need nutritional supplements?
Short answer: Yes, if you like to be optimally cared for. No, if you’re happy to settle for the minimum. One often reads that nutritional supplements are superfluous with a balanced diet. I look at it this way: as far as calories, especially carbs, go, we are oversupplied. The opposite is true for vital substances. If you want to be optimally supplied with vital substances through your diet, you have to prepare unprocessed, local and seasonal organic food at least twice a day in a healthy way. Of course, not just on weekends when it’s convenient, but in everyday life, every day, and for the long term. As fresh, diverse and colourful as possible. Cultivation, origin, storage, processing and preparation of food have an influence on the nutrients and vital substances they contain that should not be underestimated. It is possible, for example, that a food which we consider to be health-promoting may suddenly no longer provide the desired benefits because, for example, it contains residues of pesticides or has already lost its vitamins due to over-storage or insufficiently gentle preparation. In this case, nutritional tables don’t really help us. Also, the normal daily routine leaves little room to always adjust one’s diet optimally and in detail to one’s needs and to be well supplied all around. Weekly blood draws to check levels are not very practical.
A private chef and a private doctor who only takes care of you could do something like that. Much simpler and cheaper is the Act & Relax principle already described.
Vital substances – The operating system of our body
Just as the operating system of a computer must be correctly programmed in order to be able to work in an error-free and stable manner, we program our body through the supply of vital substances. It is important that you, as a consumer of nutritional supplements, choose a trustworthy supplier who focuses on continuous quality improvement by adapting its formula according to current scientific expertise. New updates are also regularly applied to your computer, which contribute to its optimisation.
If the potential is so great, why do the big pharmaceutical companies have little interest in vital substances? Vitamins – whether in the form of fresh fruit or as highly purified supplements are inexpensive. Unlike medicines, natural products are not patentable. This means that the price cannot be increased at will and these substances are therefore not profitable enough for the multinational pharmaceutical companies.
However, since their main focus is on selling profitable drugs for which they can set the prices themselves, they influence policy through their lobbying power. Fears are then stirred up together and sets of rules are drawn up in order to keep the market for vital substances as small as possible and to promote the sale of medicines, some of which are useless.
For a long time I thought this was a conspiracy theory. After more than 20 years of experience and success with vital substances, I know that many civilization diseases and medications would be superfluous if the focus were not on medicinal symptom treatment, but on an optimal supply of vital substances – or if vital substances would at least play a significantly greater role than they currently do.
For example, in 1998 three Americans, Furchgott, Ignarro and Murad, were awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine for their discovery of the blood pressure lowering effect of the amino acid arginine [21]. To this day, this discovery has not been exploited by classical medicine, as natural substances cannot be patented. Much to the patient’s chagrin, arginine is 100% natural, causes no side effects, and is extremely affordable. In our Complete Forte you do not have to do without arginine.
Vital substances help decide how you feel
The vital substance supply of our body has a decisive influence on our well-being and our mood. This is because the substances that influence our feelings are produced directly from vital substances in the body.
An insufficient supply can therefore result in listlessness and a bad mood. Many people are not aware of these connections and neglect this very simple possibility to go through life with more joy. So if you prefer serenity and a balanced emotional state, you would be well advised to strive for the optimum of a vital substance supply.
In particular, the three neurotransmitters dopamine, serotonin and gamma aminobutyric acid (GABA for short) have a direct effect on our central nervous system and make us feel better when there is enough of them in our body.
To achieve and promote this, we need certain amino acids, vitamins and minerals.
Dopamine has a positive effect on our motivation and serves as a mood elevator. In order to use this, the body needs the amino acid tyrosine. However, this is not the end of the story, because in addition, vitamin B6 and zinc must also be present.
Similarly, serotonin provides serenity and contentment. For its formation, the essential amino acid tryptophan is needed. Without the vitamins B3 and B6, the mineral magnesium and the trace element zinc, however, this substance also remains ineffective.
For the formation of GABA, which reduces stress and promotes relaxation, the amino acid glutamine is needed in combination with vitamin B6.
The individual steps involved in the formation of dopamine, serotonin and GABA are chemically complex and belong to the scientific field of biochemistry. Of course, you do not need to understand these processes in detail. My concern is to point out the practical effects of a lack of the above vital substances. By the way: If even one of the vital substances mentioned is missing, the chemical transformations cannot take place and the substance cannot be formed.
Conventional medical disease treatment and alternatives
A doctor-to-be goes into his studies and practical training with good intentions. Studying is hard and exhausting. He wants to help people and has lots of good intentions. Then he is thrown into an existing system that is not primarily aimed at healing, but is tightly organized like a company whose main purpose is to make money.
Rarely will you find a doctor who really knows about supplements and can give you information on bioavailability or optimal dosage, because at best he uses them himself and can pass on experience rather than manufacturer’s information.
The attitude of these doctors is absolutely understandable and comprehensible to me. After studying for a long time, a doctor has to earn money. The easiest way then is to take the path that has been set before you for years. A doctor is required to do a lot and at the same time enjoys a high reputation among the population. People ask him for advice every day and he grows with his tasks. This results in a dilemma: the expectation of his competence increases. How does a doctor deal with questions to which he himself does not know the answer because he has not dealt with the subject sufficiently? He probably feels obliged to give an answer to everything, after all, in the eyes of many of his patients, his expert status depends on just that.
If you don’t know something, it’s right and important to admit it. Traditional doctors often don’t know about supplements, but pretend to know about supposed dangers. My advice is to visit doctors who have really studied the subject. Good places to go for information are real experts like Dr. Strunz or Dr. Spitzbart.
Classical orthodox medicine has its absolute justification in emergencies and operations. Its weakness, however, lies in the treatment of chronic diseases of civilization and in prevention, which is so incredibly important.
drugs galore
In Germany, 30% of adults take 1 to 2 medications and 23% even take 3 or more medications regularly and permanently [22]. Sales in the German pharmaceutical industry have almost doubled in the last 20 years and today amount to approximately 46 billion euros [23].
The so-called “peripherally acting analgesics” [24], also commonly referred to as painkillers, are in great demand and probably represented in every medicine cabinet. Among the most popular representatives is paracetamol [25]. A recent study shows that taking acetaminophen leads to increased risk taking or decreased anxiety [26]. In many everyday situations, such as e.g. in traffic, it’s not a good idea.
Pain, ease
8.3 million Germans take headache tablets every day. That’s 10% of the total population. If one converts the consumption of headache medication to the population, it results that every German swallows 37 tablets per year [35]. Painkillers seem to be extremely popular with women in particular [36].
Painkillers make you feel the pain less, but the cause of the pain is still there. It is not a matter of combating the causes, but of treating the symptoms. Pain is important because it is the body’s own warning and protective mechanism.
Take these signals seriously and always investigate the causes before taking action.
It is not uncommon for pain to be treated with medication. With regular use, gastrointestinal bleeding is common, as well as, ironically, headaches. Paracetamol decreased the ability to empathize with others in an Ohio University study [37].
But are harmful painkillers without alternative? Of course not.
For inflammation and associated pain, the curcumin found in turmeric is a good pain reliever. Probiotics also achieved impressive results in pain patients after several weeks of use. The intake of magnesium and omega-3 fatty acids has also proven to be effective.
Both are anti-inflammatory, so omega-3 is used to treat neck and back pain, for example [38].
Turmeric, probiotics and magnesium are essential ingredients of our unique
Multivitamin Complete Forte
. High-quality omega-3 fish oil capsules are also available from us.
Cholesterol Treatment
Millions of people take them every day: We are talking about statins. They are supposed to lower blood cholesterol levels – and they do. However, taking statins can be associated with significant side effects. Muscle pain to increased risk of diabetes are just some of the associated problems. Cholesterol is essential for life and most of the body’s cells produce it themselves. Our brain is 10% cholesterol. The transport of cholesterol in the blood occurs through lipoproteins [27]. LDL cholesterol is such a lipoprotein, i.e. a fat-protein compound that enables water-insoluble substances to be transported from the liver to the body’s cells. There it is then used for hormone production and cell membrane building. However, too high a concentration of LDL can lead to vascular calcification [28]. The good counterpart of the evil LDL- is the HDL cholesterol. It transports cholesterol in the opposite direction, namely from the body cells to the liver, where it can be broken down. It thus counteracts vascular calcification [29]. These two opponents are therefore in a constant battle with each other and thus decide on your state of health.
Large-scale studies have long since shown that the intake of magnesium achieves exactly the same effects as those of statins: lowering of LDL cholesterol; reduction of heart attacks, strokes, angina, etc. [30]. So, why doesn’t your trusted medical professional prescribe magnesium then? Unfortunately, this remedy does not appear in his database at all. The same problem as described at the beginning: Unlike the products of the pharmaceutical industry, the vital mineral magnesium cannot be patented and is also much cheaper than corresponding drugs.
In the end, making your own lifestyle changes is a far more sensible step than hoping for salvation in pill form. Eating a healthy diet, getting plenty of exercise, maintaining a healthy body weight, and avoiding alcohol and nicotine are efficient measures to keep the body healthy [27; 28; 29]. If you want to achieve the optimum, you should provide your body with all the vital substances it needs on a daily basis.
The widespread disease diabetes mellitus
Surely you know someone who has the metabolic disorder diabetes. In Germany alone, over 8 million people suffer from this disease. The trend is unfortunately upwards [31]. But what exactly does that mean? Basically, there are two types:
1. type 1 diabetes: genetic autoimmune disease. Heredity is the highest risk, so this type often appears at a young age [32].
2. type 2 diabetes: this type affects the vast majority of diabetics (about 90-95%). It tends to show up in advanced age [33].
While diabetes type 1 is currently classified as incurable and results in an absolute lack of insulin and therefore lifelong injections of this hormone [33], the fate of developing type 2 is in your hands.
As with type 1, there is a familial predisposition to type 2. However, this only comes to light when other factors are added. Overweight and lack of exercise or an unhealthy lifestyle – usually already at a young age – are possible causes [32].
Amputations, blindness, kidney damage and a tripling of the risk of stroke are just some of the concomitant and secondary diseases that can significantly reduce the quality of life and life expectancy of type 2 diabetes patients [31].
The disease often progresses insidiously, which is why those affected hardly notice a growing insulin resistance. The sugar, which is actually supposed to reach the cells with the help of the insulin produced in the pancreas, remains more and more in the blood. The cells no longer absorb enough. The hormone insulin normally lowers blood sugar, but now it builds up at [32]. Fatigue, lack of concentration, listlessness and dizziness are possible symptoms, which in the worst case can end in a diabetic coma [34]. To counteract insulin resistance, the pancreas produces more insulin. However, the cells continue to deny proper uptake due to insulin resistance and so insulin production declines sharply until an absolute deficiency occurs [32].
If you want to counteract this downward spiral, you should orient your diet and lifestyle towards health. A healthy life requires healthy cells, and in order for these cells to perform their tasks in the best possible way, your body needs all vital substances on a daily basis.
Neurodermatitis
As I have already explained in the first chapters of the book, I myself suffered from neurodermatitis for many years of my life, until my self-developed, high-dosage vital substance formula, which can be found today in Komplett Forte, provided relief and finally healing. But why had the vital substances been able to help me?
According to Wikipedia, the causes of atopic eczema (neurodermatitis) are not yet fully understood. Experts see in the complex disease process and its very individual course an interplay of genetic factors and immunological changes. The immune system of a neurodermatitis patient is not in balance. It is constantly tense and overreacts. This is manifested by inflammatory skin reactions. This is exactly where our range comes into play. It provides the body with 47 vital substances of the highest quality to help rebalance the immune system. Because a healthy immune system needs all vital substances in sufficient quantities, and for neurodermatitis in particular the following substances are recommended:
- Omega 3 fatty acids – Prevent inflammation and eczema. Fish oil capsules, which have a high EPA and DHA content and can support the daily diet, are a good choice here.
- Glutamine – This amino acid provides support for the development of the intestinal mucosa.
- Calcium– minimizing allergic reactions
- Magnesium– reduction of allergy sensitivity
- Selenium– reduction of neurodermatitis especially in children proven
- Vitamin B – supports the development of the intestinal mucosa
- Vitamin C – Regulation of the fatty acid balance and antihistamines
- Vitamin E – Immunoregulator and antioxidant
- Zinc – immunoregulator + antiallergic
Documented these investigations can be found in: Burgerstein, U. P.; Schurgast, H.; Zimmermann, M. (2007). Handbook of nutrients. 11th edition, Haug Verlag.
You will find all these substances in our products – except for the omega 3 fatty acids, which are mainly present in our fish oil capsules, all the others are contained in Komplett Forte.
Neurodermatitis – a tour de force for the whole family
The word neurodermatitis is composed of “neuron” (Greek) – the nerve, “derma” – the skin and “itis” – the inflammation. The latter two terms are revealed by their visually perceptible manifestation. It is important to investigate the cause of the disease and a look at “the nerves” seems to make sense. When neurodermatitis occurs in children, it is especially hard. Parents often quickly reach their limits and because of the many different forms of the disease, professional support is an important step.
With all the care for your child, you should not forget about yourself. You as parents play a crucial role in the health of the child. Be sure to remember that stress and hectic schedules can also be transmitted to those around you. Ask yourself: Are there stressful situations in your life? Do you take enough time out and allow yourself relaxation phases? What about your diet? Are they always optimally supplied?
Diet-related causes of disease
You are certainly familiar with a number of facts about malnutrition, as the topic is increasingly the focus of media attention. However, one disease-causer still gets off too easy, perhaps because it has us all firmly in its grip: Sugar.
Sugar is one of the most dangerous drugs consumed worldwide and in high demand. Addiction to it is often compared to that of cocaine and heroin, because the brain reacts in a very similar way to it [41]. Anyone who has tried to eliminate all obviously added sugar from their diet knows about the body’s strong craving for it.
Sugar – a sweet temptation with consequences
“Oh, how sad life would be
there’d be no more sugar.
Children would have no joy,
don’t feel like playing anymore […]
Oh, how life would be ugly,
there’d be no more sugar.
Such a pretty young girl,
would be chubby, round and heavy [42].
This is how advertising for the sweet temptation still sounded in the 1950s. By the 1990s, it was long clear that sugar was not an effective weight-loss tool. Advertising adjusted to this and became focused on emotion instead. “With sugar, life laughs”[43] was then said – a deceptive message, as any diabetic will assure you.
Sugar has over 50 names, hardly anyone can identify at first glance on an ingredient list everything as sugar that is actually sugar. This is precisely why food manufacturers use an extensive vocabulary: Fructose, lactose, galactose, isoglucose and other “-ose”, corn syrup, thick juice, malt, barley malt extract, maltodextrin… u. v. m. [44] .
Sugar is one of the most popular flavor enhancers and also one of the most popular socially accepted drugs. The WHO recommends a daily dose of no more than 25 g, but our addiction tempts us to consume around 100 g per head every day. Many millions of people suffer from it in various ways. Obesity and diabetes are common health consequences of excessive consumption [45]. Millions of people die as a result of a high-sugar diet. Nevertheless, almost nothing happens politically to reduce sugar consumption in the population.
For this reason I recommend: Be your own role model. Radically reduce your sugar consumption and do something good for yourself and your health. Already when buying your food, look for a low total sugar content and prefer products with the label “no added sugar”. Forgo the sweet Christmas platter and lavish binges of pastries and cakes this holiday season. Eat more fresh and sustainably grown vegetables every day instead of fructose-laden fruit. Swap fruit juices for vegetable juices or prepare tasty vegetable smoothies for a change. Good blenders for this make a great Christmas gift for the whole family.
Merry Merry Sweetness
Have you ever noticed the words “contains a source of phenylalanine” on a food package? Sounds exciting, but what exactly is that supposed to tell you? You probably bought a food that has a sweet taste, yet is sugar-free. Phenylalanine is a vital amino acid that occurs naturally in many foods and also in breast milk. The sweetener, which is broken down into phenylalanine during digestion, is called aspartame [46] and has a sweetening power approximately 200 times greater than a three to four percent sucrose-sugar solution. You’re probably familiar with the little sweetener tablets in the handy dispenser that are available everywhere – that’s aspartame.
There are currently 11 sweeteners authorised in the EU. Cyclamate (30-50 sweetening power); saccharin (300-500 sweetening power); sucralose (7,000-13,000 sweetening power); and several other sweeteners, which are constantly being reviewed and re-evaluated. Some are suspected of being harmful to health or even carcinogenic. Sucralose, for example, should not be heated, while aspartame and acesulfame have been shown in animal studies to interfere with fat and energy metabolism. In addition, it was shown that sweeteners change the intestinal flora in a very short time in such a way that increased bacteria appeared that release carbohydrates and thus increase the blood sugar level [47]. The popular sweeteners are therefore likely to be ruled out for the time being as tried-and-tested diet items.
Stevia – The sugar alternative?
A veritable cult has developed around the Paraguayan sweet leaf called stevia: sweets from Mother Nature instead of from the big factory. Unfortunately, this is a fallacy. To get the sweetener out of the leaves, aluminium salts, synthetic ion exchangers, absorber resins and various alcohols are used [48]. Because of this chemical treatment, the so-called “steviol glycosides” do not receive organic approval, as their extraction is far from natural.
The better and possibly healthier solution is a real change in diet. Don’t replace sugar with sweetener, but cut back on sweets where you can. Even if it seems hard at first – your body is a true master of adaptation and will soon stop asking for that extra dose of sweetness.
III Solutions
Appearance or reality – Which do you prefer?
Do you know “fillers”? We encounter them mainly in processed foods and dietary products, but also in pharmaceutical products. True to the motto mass instead of class, cellulose, glycerine or gum from acacia trees are used. In medicines, it is often lactose, glucose and starch that are used.
The philosopher Ludwig Feuerbach once coined the saying “You are what you eat”. This man was absolutely right, because even our genetic makeup is affected by what we eat [49]. But why digress, let’s stay in the here and now: If I feed my body substances of the lowest quality, how can I expect my body to perform at its best?
Fillers are food additives or additives. They increase the volume or change the structure of food. They do not make a positive contribution to our diet. On the contrary, fillers are indigestible and can even block the absorption of nutrients [50].
Better look for quality already when shopping and avoid products that are artificially inflated and highly processed. I personally avoid fillers in my diet as well as in my products, because I value the highest quality and purity and do not like unnecessary additives with corresponding E-numbers.
Little packaging, a lot of content – The Complete Forte Formula
I would like to give some more information about the ingredients, because you are the core of my product. In Komplett Forte you will find a bioactive vitamin B complex with active coenzyme forms + CDP-choline, which improves brain performance[51], betaine, which prevents atherosclerosis [52] and myo-inositol, which has a positive effect on fat and blood sugar and mood [53].
In addition, it contains a vitamin C plus complex, consisting of naturally fermented vitamin C incl. Berry polyphenols & citrus bioflavanoids, for increased bioavailability. There is also fat-soluble vitamin C, which is also active in the brain. Cheap ascorbic acid, which can quickly lead to hyperacidity, does not correspond to our philosophy of quality.
Our vitamin D3 is extracted from lichen in a complex and costly process and is vegan, as is the entire product. You won’t find that in average supplements. We also pay attention to the highest quality standards for our vitamin K2. For this reason, we use only natural vitamin K2 all-trans, which is derived from Nattō, a traditional Japanese food, and has the highest bioavailability.
In addition, Komplett Forte contains a natural, cell-protecting vitamin E complex consisting of RRR alpha-tocopherol to protect skeletal muscles, the nervous system, red blood cells and against tumour cells [54] and all tocotrienols. Basically, tocotrienols act as antioxidants just like tocopherols and thus protect the immune system. However, tocotrienols exhibit up to 60-fold higher antioxidant activity [55]. Because antioxidants are so hugely important for health, we’ve packed plenty of them into our product in the form of beta-carotene and turmeric, through zinc bisglycinate, selenium, OPC from premium grape seeds and resveratrol, to lycopene and flavonoids. It also contains polyphenols and catechins from berries and green tea as natural secondary plant compounds with antioxidant potential. All the vegetables we use are of organic quality.
In the case of vitamin B12, in addition to two other forms, the active and natural form methylcobalamin is of course used, which is also detectable in the bloodstream. B12 that is not immediately needed is conveniently stored in the liver, from where it can be retrieved at any time. Vitamin B12 is essential for life and is involved in blood formation and cell division as well as in metabolic processes. Vitamin B12 deficiency can lead to neurological disorders, depressive moods, memory impairment and attention deficits [56].
The essential amino acids in Komplett Forte are derived from fermentation and are 100% vegan. Zinc and copper occur as highly bioavailable amino acid chelates. Manganese and chromium are present as highly available organic salts. Since different metabolic pathways are addressed by our product, there is only a slight inhibition of absorption.
However, Viptamin Komplett Forte is more than just a supplement of high-quality, essential vital substances. It also involves medicinal plants with great potential.
One example is the spice plant turmeric (turmeric), which is also known as Indian saffron. It originated in tropical India, where it has been used for centuries as a culinary and medicinal plant in the traditional Indian healing system Ayurveda. In Europe, turmeric first gained great popularity in monastic medicine, before it later found its way into domestic kitchens [57].
On food packaging, the colouring agent and additive curcumin is indicated as E 100, which refers to the synthetic form [58]. I obviously use the natural spice turmeric and not an isolate for my product.
Peppercorns contain the alkaloid piperine, while turmeric contains the active ingredient complex curcumin in its rhizome – both are high-quality, plant-based enhancers. They enhance the absorption and efficacy of ingested vitamins, minerals, amino acids, and phytochemicals [59; 60].
In addition, these amplifiers are the subject of current research. For example, the anti-inflammatory mechanism of action of curcumin and an anti-growth effect on cancer cells have been demonstrated [61; 62]. Besides an antioxidant effect, turmeric also lowers cholesterol and is also good for the cardiovascular system as well as a proven remedy for eye diseases [63].
Turmeric is well tolerated as a spice. Since it is not water soluble, you should always take a little fat when consuming it. We have also thought of this, because in our Komplett Forte you will find some organic coconut oil for this reason, among others. According to a study from 1986, the bioavailability and thus the effect of curcumin can be increased twenty-fold if it is taken together with piperine, an active ingredient from black pepper. You guessed it : this one is also in organic quality in our Forte.
A healthy intestine is a basic requirement
A healthy person always has a healthy intestinal flora and this is also the prerequisite for a good absorption of vital substances.
For decades, this topic was scientifically neglected or treated only stepmotherly. We now know that each person has an individual gut microbiome. It is populated with over 30 trillion microorganisms [64].
The intestine is our longest organ. It is largely responsible for our energy supply, regulates the water balance in the body, protects us from pathogens and produces hormones and 30 messenger substances that are necessary for the nervous system to exchange information between the brain and the intestines [65].
In principle, the intestine is the brain of our stomach. For this reason, the proverbial gut decisions are also a not so far-fetched means of decision-making.
Have you ever had butterflies in your stomach? Were they hard to digest? Did they hit you in the stomach? These and several other metaphors have become established in our linguistic usage over the course of time. This also illustrates the importance of the subject in the lives of us humans.
With two to three kilos of bacteria weight in constantly changing composition in the intestine, this system can quickly become imbalanced [64]. Whether it’s flatulence or a bloated belly, constipation, a feeling of fullness or a lack of energy and drive: the cause can lie in the wrong ratio of good and bad bacteria.
However, the communication from the brain to the intestine is not a one-way street. Experiments have shown that the intestines also influence our brain and our emotional state. In a probiotics trial, those subjects who consumed probiotics were found to be more stress resistant, less prone to anxiety and more calm than the control group without probiotics consumption [66].
To promote the colonization of good bacteria in the intestines, I have added four very important probiotics in Viptamin Multivitamin Complete Forte:
L. acidophilus: This is found in healthy vaginal flora [67].
S. thermophilus: alleviates diarrhea when given antibiotics [68].
B. bifidum: Impedes the living conditions of disease-causing microorganisms [69].
L. bulgaricus: Has an anti-inflammatory effect [70].
Prefer gentle cooking methods and take your time with your food. Eat a high-fiber diet and drink plenty of water throughout the day [64].
Tastes are different, and that’s just as well
Although the vast majority of my customers are completely satisfied with my products, there are occasionally critical words about the taste of our Multivitamin Complete Forte. Unfortunately, the high turmeric content in particular does not always have a positive effect on the taste buds in the consumer’s oral mucosa.
There’s a well-known saying that goes, “There’s no accounting for taste,” and that’s exactly how I handle it. Everyone has personal tastes, preferences and habits. To tamper with that and try to talk someone into tasting something is contrary to my values. I think it is much more purposeful to show possibilities to adjust the taste individually afterwards. This can be achieved on the one hand by adjusting the mixing ratio and on the other hand by choosing a perfect mixing partner.
Most customers put the powder in a shaker every day and mix it with water ready for consumption. I love variety, have consequently tried a lot and would like to share my favourites, which affect the taste of the drink enormously: Dairy drinks, milk substitutes, (soy, oat, nut and almond milks), fruit juices of any kind or mixed in with your morning cereal.
An oat milk cocoa was the best at changing, or masking, the current taste. If anyone would like to try this out, please feel free to contact my customer service team on 0178-4881809. You will receive a free pack to try out.
My focus in every optimization of the product is still on the best possible and careful composition of high-quality and health-promoting ingredients. My primary concern is to achieve the optimal interaction of vital substances and not to create a fancy lifestyle product. For this reason, I also refrain from adding sweeteners, sugars, additives, cereals and dairy products. Of course, our vegan multivitamin also comes without any genetic engineering and without animal testing. After all, it’s not meant to harm anyone. Healthy natural substances often taste bitter, whereas the sweet substances very often have high sugar contents and can cause all kinds of illnesses. With the beetroot we have found an ideal vegetable, which has a high added value for your health and also rounds off the taste.
Do not imagine the production of our Complete Forte to be too technical. There is a lot of manual work in the whole process. I firmly believe that good cooperation is built above all on trust and fairness. I try to maintain this along the entire production chain and also to communicate it clearly to my customers. Viptamin therefore stands not only for excellent product and process quality, but also for responsibility and good social interaction.
Minimum or optimum – the choice is yours
We read the recommendations of the German Nutrition Society (DGE) and consume in good conscience the daily amount of nutrients recommended as a minimum. In the most unfortunate case, this fixed value is also confused with a recommended optimum. A fatal misunderstanding for our health. Anyone who takes a closer look at a healthy lifestyle inevitably asks the question: Is this given minimum in any way sufficient? Do I still need supplements if I go over the minimum?
These are legitimate and correct questions, and I would like to conclude by clarifying them.
Are you satisfied with the minimum when it comes to providing your body with vitamins, or are you curious and interested in what your health might feel like when you are optimally supplied with vitamins?
Oscar Wilde said: “To really live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people, however, only exist” [87]. Written 150 years ago, the quote is still relevant and also applies to good nutritional care.
Many have already realized that not all vegetables are the same and are confronted with an uncomfortable question: How do I get my nutrients now? When it then comes to dietary supplements, people like to discuss and philosophize. “No, too unnatural,” is the frequent response to the question of whether they are suitable for filling gaps in supply.
My answer: give it a try. Don’t let the media or society tell you what is good and what is bad, what is natural and what is not. You see that even fruits and vegetables have hardly retained anything of that original naturalness, although they taste good and enjoy the image of a vitamin bomb. If journalists or critical consumers had not questioned facts, we would not now know many things about which we now naturally shake our heads.
The worst thing is and remains: not trying anything new and sticking with the old unquestioned opinion. Shaking his head after the scandalous reportage, but then not acting. This is displacement at the expense of your own health. Allowing your own experiences and trying new things can change things for the better. Even with dietary supplements, I therefore advise personal fact-checking through experience rather than not questioning outdated beliefs. And as with all other things, of course, to trust your senses. Now you say: Well, of course he sees it that way, because he also wants to sell his products. After reading this booklet, you will know the motive behind my 6 products: To improve my own health after searching for outstanding vital substances and finding none. Now it comes in the form of viptamine. Try it out.
