Three building blocks for joints and bones

Joints Vital combines three products that complement each other: a comprehensive joint complex, highly concentrated Boswellia extract, and vitamins D3 and K2 in drop form. More affordable as a bundle than buying separately.

What’s in the bundle

Joint Complex Capsules. The formula combines glucosamine, a vegan chondroitin alternative, MSM, and hyaluronic acid with selected micronutrients. This means it covers the best-known building blocks of joint support in one product.

Boswellia Capsules. The extract from the resin of the Boswellia tree is standardized to 90 percent boswellic acids, which is the level used to measure high-quality Boswellia extracts.

Vitamin D3 + K2 Drops. Vegan vitamin D3 from lichens, combined with vitamin K2, dissolved in oil and dosable drop by drop.

What vitamin D and K do

Vitamin D contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and the maintenance of normal muscle function. Vitamin K also contributes to the maintenance of normal bones. Both claims are listed in the EU Register of authorized health claims. Since vitamin D is produced by the body mainly through sunlight, ensuring adequate intake in the darker months is a common concern.

Composition and quality

All three products come directly from our range, without unnecessary additives, and with independent laboratory testing for each batch. You can find details on the recommended intake and composition on the product pages.

Vitalplant is led by Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at Stern Apotheke.

Pure organic maca powder from black tubers

Vitalplant Organic Black Maca Powder consists of exactly one ingredient: ground black maca root from certified organic cultivation. No extract, no additives, no fillers.

Powder or extract

With powder, the dried tuber is simply ground up. Its composition therefore corresponds to the whole root, including all fiber and carbohydrates. An extract, by contrast, concentrates certain components and leaves others behind.

Nutrition values per 100 grams. 23.4 g fiber, 16.3 g protein, 48.9 g carbohydrates and 0.77 g fat. The energy value is 1,324 kJ, or 314 kcal.

Taste and use. Maca powder has a malty, nutty flavor with a slightly earthy note. It can be stirred into smoothies, shakes, yogurt, or muesli and is also suitable for baking.

Lepidium meyenii: cultivation in the Andes

Maca belongs to the crucifer family and is related to radish and cress. The plant is grown in the Peruvian Andes, often above 4,000 meters, where there are strong temperature fluctuations and intense sunlight.

Harvesting produces mainly yellow tubers. Black types make up only a smaller share and are sorted out by hand. Traditionally, they are dried in the sun, which takes several weeks.

Organic Black Maca Powder: composition and quality

One single ingredient: organic maca powder, certified according to the EU organic regulation, inspection body number DE-ÖKO-039, origin non-EU agriculture.

Acerola extract with 25 percent natural vitamin C

Vitamin C can be produced synthetically or obtained from plants. Vitalplant's acerola capsules take the second route: the vitamin C comes entirely from acerola cherry extract.

What’s in a capsule

500 mg acerola extract. The extract is standardized to a vitamin C content of 25 percent. 500 mg of extract provides 125 mg of vitamin C per capsule, which corresponds to 156 percent of the nutrient reference value.

The acerola cherry. Malpighia glabra is a shrub from Central America and the Caribbean. The fruits look like cherries, but botanically they are not related. They spoil quickly and are therefore processed soon after harvesting.

Only two ingredients. Besides the extract, the capsule contains only the shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No added ascorbic acid powder, no fillers.

What vitamin C does

Vitamin C contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy-yielding metabolism. It also contributes to normal function of the nervous system and normal psychological function.

Vitamin C helps protect cells from oxidative stress and supports normal collagen formation for the normal function of skin, bones, cartilage, and blood vessels. Vitamin C also increases iron absorption.

All statements listed are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims.

Acerola capsules: composition and quality

The formula consists of two components: acerola extract and the capsule shell. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Organic Ceylon cinnamon, not cassia

Most cinnamon sold on the market is cassia. Ceylon cinnamon is a different type, more labor-intensive to produce and significantly more expensive. Vitalplant’s organic cinnamon capsules contain only Ceylon cinnamon from controlled organic cultivation.

The difference between Ceylon and cassia

Both come from trees of the Cinnamomum genus, but they are different species. Ceylon cinnamon comes from Cinnamomum verum, while cassia comes mainly from Cinnamomum cassia.

Visible in the stick. Ceylon cinnamon sticks consist of many thin layers of bark rolled together and can be crumbled. Cassia sticks are a single thick layer of bark rolled tightly into a hard stick.

The coumarin content. Coumarin is a natural flavoring substance that occurs in cassia cinnamon at a much higher concentration than in Ceylon cinnamon. The German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment has defined a tolerable daily intake for this. Ceylon cinnamon has a many times lower coumarin content.

500 mg of Ceylon cinnamon powder per capsule. Ground bark, not concentrated, with no additional ingredients.

Cinnamomum verum: tree and harvest

The Ceylon cinnamon tree comes from Sri Lanka and South India. It is not the wood that is harvested, but the inner bark of young shoots. It is peeled by hand, and as it dries, the characteristic curls form.

The raw material for our capsules is certified in accordance with the EU organic regulation, inspection body number DE-ÖKO-039, origin non-EU agriculture.
