Nutrients that we consume in larger amounts
A note up front for customers who insist on technical accuracy: Yes, vitamins and minerals are also nutrients! However, to avoid overloading the shop menu, we have opted for this simplification. Moreover, many customers understand "nutrients" more as the calorie-containing nutrients that we consume in larger amounts, namely protein, fat and carbohydrates... Read more
1 ice pack (200 ml each), frozen to -18 degrees for dispatch
For greater safety in summer All temperature-sensitive products from the manufacturers in our range of dietary supplements, feed, etc. are designed to withstand a short rise in ambient temperature. Microbiotics generally prefer it cool. To compensate for losses during shipping and storage from the outset, substantially more is filled into the capsules than is declared on the pack. The aim is that the capsules still contain as many viable bacteria at the end of the best-before date as were stated. Fish oils, algal oil and krill oil are protected from oxidation by the addition of vitamin E. According to our manufacturers, a slight temperature increase for 1–2 days during transit does not harm them; after that they should be stored cool again or, depending on the product, refrigerated. To protect goods from excessive heat, in summer or at temperatures above 25 °C we ship such products only from Monday to Thursday. At extremely high temperatures from 30 °C we recommend postponing the purchase until they drop again. Of course our customers can decide for themselves. However, we refuse to accept returns of products on the grounds of "heat damage" if the weather conditions were known at the time of purchase. A safe alternative: refrigerated shipping! When purchasing heat-sensitive products (microbiotics, enzymes, oils) we recommend booking refrigerated shipping, which can easily be done via the purchase function; this is set up with us as a normal product. We then include cooling packs — as many as you buy — and insulate the goods particularly well. The more you purchase, the safer and cooler the transport. The insulation and the -18 °C temperature of the cooling packs are sufficient to cool the goods significantly for 12–24 hours. Even if they perhaps no longer arrive cool at the customer's address, the heat exposure during transport will then have been significantly below what the manufacturers specify as the maximum limit. And our customers also receive an additional benefit: these are ordinary cooling packs that are hardly any cheaper to buy in shops. That means they can simply be reused at home afterwards. The cooling packs are suitable for a temperature range from -18 °C to +40 °C, so, for example, they can also be used as a heat pack to apply to tense muscles or similar. Safety notice: The cooling packs are sealed and are not intended to be opened, have their contents removed, or consumed!

Proteins and Amino Acids – not just for the muscles!
Muscles and skin are made of protein, everyone knows that. It is also logical: the higher the quality of the food you consume, the higher the quality of what is built in the body. Less well known: all immune substances of the body, e.g. antibodies, are also built from amino acids (the smallest building blocks of proteins). So lots of high-quality amino acids (AAs) in the blood = good defence, too few = poor defence. People with allergy problems, e.g. to milk or wheat protein, should favour elemental amino acids; there are no allergies to those.
Unsaturated Fatty Acids – vital, healthy fats
Unsaturated fatty acids are essential for life. The statement that fat is bad is no longer scientifically accurate; it depends on which fats you consume. Increasingly vegan alternatives are now available. Particularly important here are the omega-3 fatty acids, which are available in all forms: plant sources, krill oil or fish oils, each with high concentrations.
Often underestimated – carbohydrates!
Fibre are long-chain indigestible carbohydrates, good for the gut, as is well known. Less well known are, for example, galactose (the only carbohydrate that is really taken up primarily by infants, present in milk, which for example still have to develop the brain and nervous system) and mannose (which is excreted again in the urine, along with everything it binds on the way, such as pathogens). Ribose is a building block of the muscle energy molecule ATP.
