Organic Ashwagandha Capsules with KSM-66 from the Pure Root
Ashwagandha has only been a familiar name in Europe for a few years, whereas in India the plant has been cultivated for centuries. Vitalplant’s Organic Ashwagandha Capsules use KSM-66, a trademarked extract made from the pure root.
Why only the root
Ashwagandha, botanically Withania somnifera, belongs to the nightshade family. The plant grows up to one and a half meters tall and bears small orange-red berries, which have earned it the nickname winter cherry. Depending on the manufacturer, extracts may use roots, leaves, or both.
KSM-66 uses only the root. Leaves and berries are left out. This is more labor-intensive because the yield per plant is lower, but it corresponds to the plant part that has been passed down in Indian herbal tradition.
From controlled organic cultivation. The raw material comes from non-EU agriculture and is certified under the EU Organic Regulation, inspection body number DE-ÖKO-039. This means verified growing conditions without synthetic pesticides and without genetic engineering.
Withania somnifera: origin and name
Ashwagandha thrives in dry, warm regions and is cultivated mainly in India. The root is harvested after about six months, then washed, cut, and dried.
The name comes from Sanskrit and is made up of ashva for horse and gandha for smell. It refers to the strong, earthy smell of the fresh root, which really does resemble a stable. This scent is no longer noticeable in the extract.
Organic Ashwagandha Capsules: composition and quality
The formula consists of two ingredients: organic ashwagandha root extract and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free. It is filled into light-protective amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Five plant extracts with eleven micronutrients
Vitalplant’s Luna Balance capsules combine five standardized plant extracts with a full spectrum of B vitamins, plus zinc and vitamin C. Take one capsule in the morning, and a second in the afternoon if needed.
The five plant extracts
Ashwagandha, 150 mg per capsule. KSM-66, a branded extract from the pure root of Withania somnifera.
Feverfew, 50 mg. Tanacetum parthenium, a daisy family plant with daisy-like flowers, long established in Europe as a garden plant.
Coenzyme Q10, 50 mg. A substance found naturally in the body, present in every cell and added here as an isolated raw material.

Eight herbs for the evening, caffeine-free
Vitalplant's organic Relax Tea combines eight herbs, flowers, and roots from controlled organic cultivation. All ingredients are naturally caffeine-free.
The herbal blend
Chamomile flowers make up the largest proportion by quantity and give the infusion its golden yellow color and mild, slightly honey-like base note.
Hawthorn berries add a fruity, tart component. Hawthorn is a rose family plant and is therefore related to apples and rose hips.
Ashwagandha and passionflower herb follow as the third and fourth ingredients. Ashwagandha is the root of Withania somnifera from Indian herbal tradition, and Passiflora incarnata is a climbing plant from North America.
Lavender flowers, basil, valerian root, and hop flowers complete the blend. Lavender and basil are members of the mint family, hops belong to the hemp family and are known as an ingredient in beer.
Preparation and flavor
Pour 200 ml of boiling water over 3 g of tea and let steep for 5 to 8 minutes. Valerian root brings a strong, earthy note that clearly shapes the character of the infusion. If you prefer it milder, reduce the steeping time to four minutes.
The blend is suitable for the later hours of the day and the evening.
Organic Relax Tea: origin and quality
100 g of loose tea yield around 30 portions. All eight ingredients come from controlled organic cultivation, certified according to the EU organic regulation, inspection body number DE-ÖKO-039, origin EU and non-EU agriculture. No flavorings, no additives, no sugar. Packed in a resealable stand-up pouch.

Frankincense extract with 90 percent boswellic acids
Frankincense is neither an herb nor a root, but a tree resin. The frankincense capsules from Vitalplant contain an extract from the resin of Boswellia serrata, standardized to 90 percent boswellic acids.
How frankincense is obtained
The bark of the tree is carefully scored. At the cut, a milky sap emerges, hardens in the air, and forms tear-shaped pieces. These resin tears are collected by hand after a few weeks.
From old trees. The resin for our extract comes from trees that are at least ten years old. Younger trees produce less and are put under greater strain by scoring.
Boswellic acids as the key measure. They are the characteristic components of Boswellia resin and serve as the standardization value. Our extract is at 90 percent, and one capsule contains 600 mg.
Boswellia serrata: tree and trade history
Boswellia serrata grows in the dry regions of India. Related species are found in Oman, Yemen, and Somalia. The trees are gnarled, grow slowly, and get by with very little water.
For thousands of years, frankincense was among the most valuable trade goods of all. The Frankincense Trail connected South Arabia with the Mediterranean region, and in many cultures the resin was a fixed part of ritual incense burning. It is still used that way today.
Frankincense capsules: composition and quality
The formula consists of two components: the frankincense extract and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. 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.

Shilajit capsules with PrimaVie from the Himalayas
Shilajit is neither a plant extract nor a mineral in the classic sense, but something in between. The Shilajit capsules from Vitalplant contain PrimaVie, a standardized, trademarked raw ingredient.
What Shilajit actually is
Shilajit is a resin-like mass that emerges from rock fissures in the high altitudes of the Himalayas. It formed over very long periods from plant material that was transformed under pressure and through alternating frost and heat. That is why Shilajit is found only at certain elevations and only in small quantities.
What is characteristic is its content of fulvic and humic acids. These are organic acids that also occur in humus-rich soils. They give the raw material its dark color and earthy character.
Why a trademarked raw ingredient. Depending on where it is found, raw Shilajit varies considerably in composition and may contain impurities from the rock. PrimaVie is a purified extract calibrated for consistent values. For a natural substance of this kind, that is the decisive quality difference.
Origin and history of use
In India, Nepal, and Tibet, Shilajit has been known for a very long time and has many names there. The most common one, Shilajit, comes from Sanskrit and is usually translated as conqueror of mountains or rock sweat.
It is still collected by hand today, mostly in the summer months, when the heat causes the mass to seep out of the rock. That explains why Shilajit has never become a mass-market raw material.
Shilajit capsules: composition and quality
The formula consists of two components: the PrimaVie Shilajit extract and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no release agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free. Especially with a raw material from rock, testing is crucial, which is why every batch is checked for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Three essentials for women's balance
Frauen Vital is designed for women in the years leading up to menopause and brings together three products that are often ordered together during this stage of life: a plant-based women's complex, gentle magnesium, and iron in a gentle dose. Save compared to ordering them individually.
What's in the bundle
Luna Balance Capsules. This complex combines chasteberry and saffron with the KSM-66® branded ashwagandha ingredient, feverfew, coenzyme Q10, magnesium, zinc, and a full spectrum of B vitamins.
Magnesium Glycinate Capsules. Magnesium in chelated form, bound to the amino acid glycine. This compound is considered especially gentle on the stomach and provides 280 mg of magnesium per daily serving.
Iron Glycinate Capsules. 14 mg of iron as well-tolerated iron bisglycinate, combined with natural vitamin C from acerola cherries and lactoferrin. Iron is the nutrient most commonly in short supply for women before menopause.
What the nutrients do
Iron helps reduce tiredness and fatigue and supports the normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin. Vitamin C increases iron absorption. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity, while magnesium contributes to normal psychological function. These claims are listed in the EU Register of authorized health claims.
Ingredients and quality
All three products come unchanged from our range: free from unnecessary additives, packaged in amber glass, and independently laboratory-tested batch by batch. Luna Balance and Magnesium Glycinate are vegan; Iron Glycinate contains milk-derived lactoferrin. Details on recommended use and ingredients can be found on the product pages.

Passionflower Capsules with 10:1 Extract
Passionflower owes its name not to passion, but to Spanish missionaries of the 16th century. Vitalplant Passionflower Capsules contain a concentrated 10:1 extract from Passiflora incarnata.
What a 10:1 Extract Means
The 10:1 ratio describes the concentration: for one part extract, ten parts dried plant material are used. A capsule with 375 mg of extract therefore corresponds mathematically to around 3,750 mg of starting material.
The herb is used. The above-ground parts of the plant are used for the extract, namely the leaves, stems, and tendrils. Naturally, they contain flavonoids, a large group of secondary plant compounds found in many flowers and leaves.
Passiflora incarnata: Plant and Name History
Passionflower is a climbing plant from the southeastern United States. It climbs several meters high and produces one of the most unusual flowers in the plant kingdom: a ring of thread-like appendages above the petals, with five stamens and three stigmas above that.
It was precisely this structure that led to the name. In the 16th century, Spanish missionaries interpreted the ring of threads as the crown of thorns, the three stigmas as nails, and the five stamens as wounds. This interpretation gave rise to the name passionflower, which has remained to this day. Botanically, it has nothing to do with the name.
Passionflower Capsules: Composition and Quality
The formula consists of two ingredients: passionflower extract and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Every batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Melatonin with four plant extracts and B vitamins
Melatonin is one of the few substances in this area with an officially approved claim. Vitalplant’s Night Rest capsules combine it with four plant extracts, two amino acids, and five B vitamins.
What melatonin does
Melatonin helps shorten the time it takes to fall asleep. The beneficial effect occurs with an intake of 1 mg of melatonin shortly before going to bed. One capsule contains 0.5 mg, so two capsules provide exactly the 1 mg to which this claim applies.
This claim is listed in the EU Register of nutrition and health claims. It applies expressly to the stated amount, which is why the recommended intake is 1 to 2 capsules about 30 minutes before going to bed.
What else is in the capsule
160 mg passion flower extract and 120 mg reishi extract. In addition, 40 mg lemon balm extract and 25 mg hop cone extract.
120 mg L-tryptophan and 40 mg L-theanine. L-tryptophan is an essential amino acid that the body cannot produce on its own. L-theanine occurs naturally in tea leaves.
Five B vitamins, each at 100 percent of the nutrient reference value: niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B6, folic acid, and vitamin B12. Riboflavin, niacin, vitamin B6, and vitamin B12 help reduce tiredness and fatigue, as well as support the normal function of the nervous system.
There are no approved claims for the four plant extracts and the two amino acids. For these, we state the amount and source.
Night Rest capsules: composition and quality
Thirteen ingredients in one formula, without fillers, anti-caking agents, or colorants. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Four standardized plant and mushroom extracts in one capsule
Meno Vital capsules from Vitalplant combine four extracts from four different plant traditions. Take one capsule in the morning and one in the evening.
The four extracts
Yam root extract, 200 mg per capsule. Obtained from the tuberous root of Dioscorea, a climbing plant from the tropics and subtropics. The extract is standardized to 20 percent diosgenin, a plant-based ingredient from the steroid saponin group.
Reishi extract, 150 mg. Ganoderma lucidum, a tree fungus from the bracket fungus family with a strikingly shiny, reddish-brown fruiting body. In East Asia, it has been cultivated for centuries.
Red clover extract, 125 mg. Trifolium pratense grows in meadows throughout Europe and is rich in isoflavones, a subgroup of flavonoids.
Sage extract, 100 mg. Salvia officinalis, a mint family plant from the Mediterranean region; the leaves are used.
Four origins, one formula
The four ingredients come from different regions of the world and herbal traditions: yam from the tropics, reishi from East Asia, red clover from Central Europe, sage from the Mediterranean region. They are combined in a capsule that fits easily into your daily routine.
For plant and mushroom extracts, we state quantity, origin, and standardization. This can be verified, unlike a promise of effectiveness. Meno Vital complements a varied and balanced diet.
Meno Vital capsules: composition and quality
The formula consists of five components: the four extracts and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorings. The product is vegan and gluten-free, bottled in amber glass. All four extracts are standardized, and each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Three plant extracts with zinc, selenium, and vitamin E
The Prosta Plant capsules from Vitalplant combine three standardized plant extracts with four micronutrients. The extracts provide the amount, the nutrients provide the scientifically substantiated function.
The three plant extracts
Pumpkin seed extract, 350 mg per capsule. A 15:1 extract, meaning fifteen parts of raw material are used for one part of extract. The seeds of Cucurbita pepo, the oil pumpkin, are used.
Saw palmetto extract, 160 mg. A 10:1 extract standardized to 45 percent fatty acids. Serenoa repens is a fan palm from the southeastern USA; the fruits are used.
Nettle root extract, 60 mg. A 20:1 extract from the root of Urtica dioica. Unlike in tea, the leaf is not used here, but the root.
What zinc, selenium, and vitamin E do
Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal testosterone levels in the blood as well as to normal fertility and reproduction. One capsule contains 2.5 mg, which corresponds to 25 percent of the nutrient reference value.
Selenium contributes to normal sperm production. One capsule provides 27.5 micrograms and thus 50 percent of the nutrient reference value.
Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It contains 5.9 mg per capsule, also 50 percent of the nutrient reference value. All claims listed are registered in the EU Register of authorized health claims.
Prosta Plant capsules: composition and quality
In addition to the extracts and micronutrients, the formula contains 20 mg L-lysine, an essential amino acid. The capsule shell is made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no colorants. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.
Behind Vitalplant is Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at Stern Apotheke.
2,000 mg L-citrulline and 1,600 mg L-arginine per daily dose
Vitalplant Men Capsules rely on two amino acids in a high dosage, supplemented with pine bark extract and two trace elements. The daily dose consists of two capsules twice daily.
The two amino acids
L-citrulline, 2,000 mg. A non-proteinogenic amino acid, meaning it is not incorporated into proteins. It owes its name to watermelon, botanically Citrullus lanatus, from which it was first isolated.
L-arginine, 1,600 mg. A semi-essential amino acid. The body can produce it itself, but under certain conditions not in sufficient amounts. Citrulline and arginine are directly connected in metabolism.
200 mg pine bark extract from the bark of the maritime pine, Pinus pinaster. Plus 3.6 mg zinc and 36 µg selenium.
What zinc and selenium do
Zinc contributes to normal fertility and normal reproduction. Selenium contributes to normal sperm formation.
Both also help protect cells from oxidative stress. All statements listed are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims.
There are no authorized claims for L-citrulline, L-arginine, or pine bark extract. For these, we state the amount and source.
Men's Capsules: composition and quality
Amino acids in this amount cannot be encapsulated without processing aids. The formula therefore contains natural magnesium stearate as a release agent and silicon dioxide as an anti-caking agent. Both are approved additives and are listed in the ingredients. No colorants, no flavors. The product is vegan, filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.
Behind Vitalplant is Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at Stern Apotheke.
Three magnesium compounds with 100 percent of the nutrient reference value
With magnesium, it is not just the amount that matters, but the compound it comes in. That is why Vitalplant’s Magnesium Complex does not rely on a single form, but combines three organically bound magnesium compounds in one capsule.
Why three magnesium compounds
Organically bound means: the magnesium is linked to a carbon-containing partner, a fruit acid, or an amino acid. Inorganic compounds such as magnesium oxide contain more magnesium per gram, but are considered less well tolerated. Our formula completely leaves them out.
Magnesium citrate. The magnesium salt of citric acid is the most commonly used organic form of magnesium and has been studied accordingly well. In our formula, it is present as tri-magnesium dicitrate.
Magnesium bisglycinate. Here, one magnesium atom is bound to two molecules of the amino acid glycine. This structure is called a chelate. Bisglycinate is considered especially gentle on the stomach.
Magnesium malate. The magnesium salt of malic acid. Malic acid occurs naturally in apples and other fruits.
Anyone who would otherwise have to choose one form gets all three here. That is the difference from our single-ingredient products Magnesium Citrate and Magnesium Glycinate, each of which relies on one compound. The complex also provides the highest amount of magnesium of the three products.
What magnesium does in the body
Magnesium is one of the minerals with the most authorized health claims in the EU register. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. It contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and to normal psychological function. Magnesium also contributes to normal energy metabolism, electrolyte balance, normal protein synthesis, and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
The body cannot produce magnesium itself or store it to any significant extent. Intake is therefore a daily task.
Magnesium Complex capsules: composition and quality
The full formula consists of four components: the three magnesium compounds and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. No fillers, no anti-caking agents, no colorants, no sugar. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled in amber glass. Every batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.
Behind Vitalplant stands Christian Lazar, licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at Stern Pharmacy.
Magnesium citrate with 123 mg magnesium per capsule
Vitalplant Magnesium Citrate capsules rely on a single compound: magnesium citrate, the magnesium salt of citric acid. Two capsules cover two-thirds of the nutrient reference value.
What makes magnesium citrate special
Citric acid occurs naturally in citrus fruits and is also an intermediate in the body’s energy metabolism. When magnesium is bound to it, an organic compound is formed.
800 mg magnesium citrate per capsule, resulting in 123 mg of elemental magnesium. That is the key figure: it is not the weight of the compound that matters, but the magnesium content within it.
Two capsules instead of four. Because citrate contains a relatively high proportion of magnesium, two capsules a day are enough. For comparison: our magnesium glycinate requires four capsules for a similar amount, and the magnesium complex three. If you prefer fewer capsules, citrate is the best choice.
What magnesium does in the body
Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and to normal energy metabolism. It contributes to the normal function of the nervous system and to normal psychological function.
Magnesium also contributes to normal protein synthesis, to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth, and plays a role in cell division. All of the above claims are listed in the EU Register of nutrition and health claims.
Magnesium Citrate Capsules: composition and quality
The formula consists of two components: magnesium citrate and the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose. 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.

Omega 3 from algae oil with 250 mg DHA per capsule
Omega-3 fatty acids usually come from fish. However, fish do not produce them themselves; they absorb them through microalgae. That is why Vitalplant’s Omega 3 Vegan capsules start right at the source.
Algae oil instead of fish oil
Schizochytrium microalgae. These marine microorganisms are cultivated in closed facilities, not harvested from the sea. This means the oil does not rely on catch quotas and is free from the fishy taste that many fish oil capsules fail on.
250 mg DHA and 125 mg EPA per capsule. DHA and EPA are the two long-chain omega-3 fatty acids that matter. Plant-based sources such as linseed or rapeseed oil, by contrast, provide ALA, which the body would first have to convert, and that only happens to a limited extent.
Vitamin D3 as an addition. One capsule contains 2.5 micrograms, which corresponds to 100 International Units and 50 percent of the nutrient reference value. The oil is also protected against oxidation with rosemary extract and tocopherols.
What DHA, EPA and vitamin D do
DHA contributes to the maintenance of normal brain function and to the maintenance of normal vision. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg DHA, which corresponds to one capsule.
EPA and DHA together contribute to normal heart function. This effect is obtained with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA and DHA.
Vitamin D contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the maintenance of normal bones, and to normal muscle function. All claims mentioned are listed in the EU Register of approved health claims.
Omega 3 Vegan capsules: composition and quality
The capsule shell is a vegan alternative to the classic gelatin capsule and consists of modified starch, vegetable glycerin, and carrageenan. The product is vegan and gluten-free, filled into light-protective amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.
Behind Vitalplant is Christian Lazar, a licensed pharmacist with over 35 years of professional experience at the Stern Apotheke.
Twelve nutrients in one daily capsule
Skin, hair, and nails are largely made up of keratin, and the body continually rebuilds them. The Skin Hair Nails capsules from Vitalplant provide twelve nutrients in a single daily capsule.
What’s in the daily capsule
Horsetail extract, 290 mg. The extract is standardized to seven percent silica. Horsetail is one of the oldest still-existing plant genera and stores silica in unusually high concentrations in its cell walls.
Acerola extract, 90 mg. This provides 23 mg of natural vitamin C, which corresponds to 28 percent of the nutrient reference value. The acerola cherry is one of the fruits richest in vitamin C.
Ten vitamins and minerals. Biotin at 720 micrograms, zinc at 5 mg, plus niacin, pantothenic acid, vitamin A, E, B1, B2, B6, B12, and folic acid. Ten of these are at 100 percent of the nutrient reference value or above.
What the nutrients do
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of the skin. Collagen is the structural protein that gives connective tissue its strength.
Niacin, vitamin A, and riboflavin contribute to the maintenance of normal skin. Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Zinc contributes to normal DNA synthesis and normal protein synthesis.
All of the statements listed are included in the EU Register of authorized health claims.
Skin Hair Nails capsules: composition and quality
Packing twelve nutrients into one capsule is a matter of formulation density. Even so, the formula contains no fillers, flow agents, or colorings. The product is vegan and filled in amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.

Cold-pressed organic black cumin oil with natural vitamin E
Black cumin has been used for centuries in the Mediterranean region and the Middle East as a spice and oil plant. Vitalplant’s organic black cumin oil capsules provide the cold-pressed oil in capsule form, supplemented with natural vitamin E.
What’s in the capsules
Black cumin oil from organic farming. The oil is obtained from the seeds of Nigella sativa, a buttercup family plant with striking pale blue flowers. The seeds are black, angular, and about two millimeters in size. The raw material comes from EU agriculture and is certified according to the EU organic regulation, inspection body number DE-ÖKO-039.
About half of the oil is linoleic acid. Linoleic acid is a polyunsaturated omega-6 fatty acid that the body cannot produce on its own. It is therefore one of the essential fatty acids.
Vitamin E as D-alpha-tocopherol. This is the natural form of the vitamin, not the synthetic one. One capsule contains 5 mg, which corresponds to 42 percent of the nutrient reference value.
What vitamin E does
Vitamin E helps protect cells from oxidative stress. This statement is included in the EU Register of authorized health claims, so it has been scientifically reviewed and officially approved.
For the oil itself, we state its origin, cultivation method, and fatty acid profile. That can be verified.
Organic black cumin oil capsules: composition and quality
The formula consists of three ingredients: the organic black cumin oil, the capsule shell made of hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, and vitamin E. No fillers, no colorants, no artificial preservatives. The product is vegan and gluten-free. Oils are sensitive to light, which is why it is filled into amber glass. Each batch is tested for heavy metals by an independent laboratory.
