Topics

Topics: food supplements by your health goal

Most people don’t look for food supplements by ingredient, but by reason: sleep is restless, digestion is sluggish, training feels tough. That’s why this page sorts our range by nine goals instead of by chemistry. If you prefer the other way around, you’ll find the same products sorted by ingredient groups under Ingredients.

A product can appear in several topics — vitamin D3, for example, is listed under immune system and under joints because it contributes to both. That is not a sorting error, but a property of nutrients.

The nine topic worlds

Immune system & defenses

Vitamin C, zinc and vitamin D contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Our Immune Complex combines these nutrients in one formula; if you prefer natural vitamin C, you’ll find it in the Acerola Capsules. Also vital mushrooms such as Organic Reishi, which have a long tradition of use in East Asia. To the immune system category.

Brain & nerves

For calm evenings and focused days: Organic Ashwagandha with the branded extract KSM-66, the Brain Complex with ginkgo, ginseng and B vitamins, and the Inner Peace Complex. For the evening, the Organic Night Tea. To the brain & nerves category.

Energy & sport

Magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue; the same applies to vitamin B6 and B12. Our Magnesium Complex 3-in-1 combines citrate, bisglycinate and malate, and the B Complex Forte provides all eight B vitamins in bioactive forms. Also our sports line with Creatine and Glutamine. To the energy & sport category.

Gut & liver

The Organic Gut Elixir is the most unusual product in the range: 22 organic ingredients from Jerusalem artichoke and turmeric to blueberry, fermented with seven lactic acid bacterial strains. Also the Cultures Complex, the Bitter Complex with eight traditional herbs, and for the liver the Milk Thistle Complex with silymarin, artichoke, dandelion and schisandra. To the gut & liver category.

Joints & bones

A balanced diet and sufficient calcium contribute to the maintenance of normal bones, and vitamin D supports calcium utilization. Our Joint Complex is one of the most complex products in the range, with over 23 micronutrients, including vegan chondroitin from algae extract. Frankincense with 90 percent boswellic acids is among the most concentrated on the market. To the joints & bones category.

Heart & vessels

EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function — with a daily intake of 250 mg. Our Omega 3 Vegan provides both from algae oil instead of fish. Also the Heart Complex and the Veins Complex with red vine leaf, OPC, rutin and pine bark. To the heart & vessels category.

Beauty & anti-aging

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin, hair and nails, and vitamin C to normal collagen formation. The Skin Hair Nails Complex combines both with biotin and silica, supplemented with OPC from grape seeds and Coenzyme Q10. Also the Collagen Line as a powder. To the beauty & anti-aging category.

Women’s health

Iron contributes to the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin; our Iron Glycinate uses well-tolerated iron bisglycinate. Luna Balance combines ashwagandha, chaste tree, saffron and feverfew, while our bestseller Meno Vital combines yam root with 16 percent diosgenin, red clover with 40 percent isoflavones and Sage Extract in a 60:1 concentrate. To the women’s health category.

Men’s health

Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels, selenium to normal sperm formation. Our most-reviewed product Prosta Plant combines saw palmetto extract with 45 percent fatty acids, pumpkin seed, nettle root, zinc and selenium. Also Shilajit, Panax Ginseng and the Men’s Capsules. To the men’s health category.

From goal to the right product

Single ingredient or complex

A single ingredient is the right choice if you want to supplement something specific — for example vitamin D during the darker months. A complex takes the combination work off your hands when several ingredients are meant to work together, but makes it harder to calculate the individual component. The overview is under Vital Complexes.

Where to start

With one topic, not three. Anyone who tackles immune system, sleep and joints at the same time quickly ends up with five products and later doesn’t know what was responsible for what. Focusing on one topic for a few weeks brings more clarity than trying to cover everything at once.

When several topics apply

Then it’s worth looking at the overlaps. Magnesium is listed under energy and nerves, vitamin D under immune system and bones, zinc under immune system, beauty and men’s health. Often, one well-chosen product covers two goals at once — saving capsules and money.

How long to keep at it

Longer than two weeks. Some ingredients first need to fill stores before anything can show up; with vitamin D or iron, several weeks to months is a normal timeframe. Anyone who stops too early is judging a result that isn’t there yet.

A typical starting point for each topic

If you don’t know where to start: these are the products that are ordered most often first in each category.

Above the product list, you can also filter by dosage form — the selection updates instantly without the page reloading.

What the topic worlds do — and don’t do

A system of categories, not a diagnosis

The nine topics are a sorting aid for shopping, not a guide for health questions. They group products that fit a part of life — they do not say what you are missing. If you have a specific suspicion, it makes sense to clarify it with a blood test, not with a category page.

Need is individual

Two people with the same goal rarely need the same thing. Age, diet, season and life stage can change needs significantly — vitamin D, for example, is a different topic in February than in July. That’s why we list the daily portion and reference amount for each product instead of making one recommendation for everyone.

Supplement means supplement

The foundation remains what’s on the plate. Food supplements fill gaps, but they do not replace a varied diet — and no product can make up for too little sleep or exercise in the long run.

How our products are made

Development with pharmacists

Before a new product reaches the shop, months often pass. It starts with the question of what amount makes sense — not which number looks good on the tin. Pharmacists and nutrition scientists review studies, check combinations and test dosages until the formula is right.

In-house manufacturing in Memmingen

Production takes place in our family-run manufactory in the Allgäu — not in anonymous contract factories, but under our own control and pharmaceutical supervision. That allows small batches and short distances between formulation, production and warehouse.

Every batch to the lab

Before release, an independent laboratory checks every batch for active ingredient content, heavy metals and microbiological quality. The analysis certificate can be viewed on the respective product page — verifiable instead of merely claimed.

What does not go in

No magnesium stearate, no fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. It is filled into light-protected amber pharmaceutical glass instead of plastic — which better protects sensitive plant compounds and can be reused indefinitely.

Still undecided?

Then the Bestsellers are the most practical place to start — fifteen products with 243 reviews in total. If you’d rather see what we’ve worked on most recently, you’ll find that under New Arrivals, and the full list is under All Products.

Background on individual topics is provided by the Vitalplant Magazine. If you have questions about choosing or combining several products, our team will be happy to advise you — by phone at +49 8331 9258811 (Mon–Fri, 8 to 12) or via the Contact Page.

Food supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. The recommended daily dose should not be exceeded. Keep out of reach of small children. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, please consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking this product.
