Formula

Why it is made this way

Nicotinamide instead of nicotinic acid: Both count as niacin. Nicotinamide does not cause the well-known skin flushing that can occur with larger amounts of nicotinic acid.
Betaine: Also called trimethylglycine, used here as the hydrochloride.
A capsule that opens later: A plant-based shell that opens later than a standard capsule.

Origin

Manufacturing

Everything in-house: Developed, made and filled in Eugendorf near Salzburg. No middlemen, no outsourced production.
ISO 22000:2018: The recognised standard for food safety. Audited and certified by Quality Austria, certificate no. 00521/0.
ISO 9001:2015: The standard for quality management, also audited by Quality Austria, certificate no. 14365/0.
HACCP: The system required by law that every food business uses to monitor its critical points.
Traceable back to the raw material: In-house, every product batch is linked to the batches of the raw materials used in it. If something stands out, it can be narrowed down.
In Austria since 2009: The lab and production are at the same site.

Control

Testing

Every raw material batch is tested: Infrared light is used to check that the substance is what it should be. On top of that come the content, a microbiological test and a test for doping substances.
A test report for every batch: Every batch has a certificate of analysis with the measured results.
Heavy metals: Lead, cadmium and mercury are within the EU maximum levels for food supplements.
Checks during production: Measurements are taken at set points and recorded for each batch.
Released only after testing: The finished product is tested and only released after that.
Shelf life is backed by tests: The best-before date is not an estimate. It comes from storage tests with the product in its packaging.
No bacteria in production: We do not process probiotics or any other bacterial cultures.
Upper limits based on EFSA: Where the European Food Safety Authority names a safe maximum amount, that is where we cap it.

Label

Transparency

Amounts are per daily dose: Not per single capsule. Where the daily dose is split across two capsules, this is stated.
For extracts, both are listed: The amount of extract, and the active substance in it. What is actually in it comes after the words “of which”.
Batch and best-before date: You will find both on the bottom of the jar.
Documents on request: We are happy to provide the certificate of analysis and our certificates.
