Pre-Menstrual Support
Does this supplement also work if you use the pill or have a hormonal IUD?
Does this supplement also work if you use the pill or have a hormonal IUD?
You can use PreMenstrual Support with the contraceptive pill or an IUD. It can certainly reduce mood swings, but you will always continue to experience some of the influence of the pill or IUD. This is because you cannot restore your cycle with the pill or IUD, as these actually stop your natural cycle.
PreMenstrual Support actually stimulates a natural and regular cycle. You may experience an effect from PreMenstrual Support alongside taking the pill or having a hormonal IUD, but it is difficult to say how much effect.
The pill or IUD can actually be the cause of your discomfort; it doesn't have to be, but it can be. However, the supplement is used by many women in combination with the pill or an IUD, with good results for many women as well.

Liposomal Vitamin D3/K2
Why has vitamin K2 been added to this supplement?
Why has vitamin K2 been added to this supplement?
Vitamin D3 and vitamin K2 both play a role in calcium metabolism. Vitamin D3 ensures normal absorption of calcium from food and a normal calcium level in the blood. It also contributes to the process of cell renewal and supports the body's immune system. Vitamin K2 ensures that calcium ends up in the right place in the bones.
Why are our Multivitamin, Vitamin D3/K2, and Magnesium liposomal?
Why are our Multivitamin, Vitamin D3/K2, and Magnesium liposomal?
Absorption into the cells (depending on the nutrient) is up to 20 times higher with Viv Support's liposomal supplements compared to non-liposomal supplements. This allows your body to make maximum use of all the health benefits the nutrient has to offer!
Liposomal is derived from the word 'liposome'. A liposome is a microscopic globule of fat (made of phospholipids) that surrounds the supplement and acts as a kind of protective shield. The liposome protects the dietary supplement from breakdown by stomach acid and the rest of the digestive system.
The body views the liposome as endogenous, or as if it were produced by itself. As a result, it is not 'attacked' or broken down, allowing it to move unhindered through the digestive system and safely reach the small intestine. Via the intestine, the nutrient is absorbed into the bloodstream and transported intact and directly to the body cells. Here, the liposome fuses with the cell wall, and the nutrient is fully absorbed.
How are our supplements made liposomal?
How are our supplements made liposomal?
LipoCellTech™ uses a revolutionary and patented manufacturing process that mimics the way the body naturally produces liposomes. That is why we call it 'Nature's Way'. During the production process, heat, high pressure, or chemicals are completely avoided.
This is very beneficial, because heat, pressure, or chemicals damage the nutrient, which can degrade its quality and effectiveness. Just think of cooking vegetables for too long, causing vitamins to be lost!
Throughout the entire production process of liposomes, only natural products are used. Even the cleaning of the production machines is carried out exclusively with biological cleaning agents.

Liposomal Magnesium
Why should I take this supplement?
Why should I take this supplement?
Magnesium is truly essential for us. Most people are deficient in it. Magnesium is an important mineral for us that is involved in many physical and mental processes. Our body consumes a lot of magnesium, especially during busy periods. This makes daily support often desirable. The mineral supports your energy levels, helps with concentration and memory, contributes to mental resilience, and plays a role in maintaining strong and supple muscles.

Vitamin C
What is the difference between buffered and liposomal vitamin C?
What is the difference between buffered and liposomal vitamin C?
Viv Support chooses buffered vitamin C because vitamin C is the most easily absorbed vitamin. Therefore, it is less necessary for it to be liposomal than, for example, with the less absorbable magnesium , vitamin D3/K2 , and multivitamins . In the buffered vitamin C capsule, vitamin C is linked to the minerals magnesium and calcium for better absorption and to lower acidity, making it easier for the intestines and stomach to digest. This is called 'buffering'. The lower price compared to liposomal is a nice bonus.
Why should I take this supplement?
Why should I take this supplement?
If you're looking for a supplement to support your immune system, mood, and energy, this is for you. Vitamin C is important for your energy levels and has a positive effect on your immune system. It also benefits your mood and concentration, and has a beneficial effect on your blood vessels, bones, and skin.

Vegan Omega 3
Why should I take this supplement?
Why should I take this supplement?
Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in inflammatory processes. An imbalance, with too little omega-3 and too much omega-6, automatically leads to imbalances in inflammatory responses.
Due to an excess of sugars/carbohydrates, stress, poor sleep, and insufficient exercise, we struggle with low-grade inflammation. We do not immediately notice this, but we do notice it by becoming fatigued more quickly, experiencing skin or eczema discomfort, generally not feeling well, and having low energy. All of this can be caused by low-grade inflammation. Omega-3 is important for this. Additionally, omega-3 is also necessary for hormone production and for the absorption capacity of other vitamins and minerals.
Why is this supplement algae-based and not fish?
Why is this supplement algae-based and not fish?
Viv Support itself prefers a vegan variant based on algae oil. Algae are the primary and therefore purest source of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. That is why we choose this vegan version of these healthy polyunsaturated fats. And it is also the most sustainable option for the environment.

Collaglow
How often can I use Collaglow?
How often can I use Collaglow?
You can take one serving of Collaglow per day. Mix the contents with a serving (approx. 7 g measuring spoon) in a glass of cold or lukewarm water (250-300 ml) and stir until the powder dissolves. Drink the beverage shortly after preparation.
Can I use Collaglow in combination with Collagen & Protein Powder, and what are the differences between the two?
Can I use Collaglow in combination with Collagen & Protein Powder, and what are the differences between the two?
You can simply combine these products. Collagen protein powder emphasizes protein, supplementing your daily protein intake. And Collaglow is truly a collagen product. Collaglow also contains protein, but less protein than the protein-collagen powder. 1 serving of protein powder is 23.8 grams of protein. 1 serving of Collaglow is 5.9 grams of protein. So, if you primarily want to supplement your protein intake, choose the protein powder. If you want more collagen, choose the Collaglow.
Can I use Collaglow in combination with Vitamin C? Or will I be getting too much Vitamin C?
Can I use Collaglow in combination with Vitamin C? Or will I be getting too much Vitamin C?
European guidelines stipulate that 2,000 grams is the safe upper limit for long-term use. A serving of Collaglow contains 1,100 mg of vitamin C. Therefore, that is well within the safe limit. This is, however, a reason to generally take 1 serving per day (unless there is a temporarily increased need for protein).
Can I use Collaglow with other supplements?
Can I use Collaglow with other supplements?
That is certainly possible. Common dietary supplements can be perfectly combined with Collaglow. Just always pay attention to the total dosage to avoid overdosing. If you have any doubts, contact a therapist or doctor.
Can my partner/husband also drink Collaglow?
Can my partner/husband also drink Collaglow?
Absolutely! Of course, it is a product we carry to support a woman's 'glow' thanks to the collagen it contains. Collagen supports the maintenance of tight, firm, and elastic skin. But let's be honest, many men want that too, don't they?
How do I prepare Collaglow?

My daughter has difficulty swallowing pills, what can she do?

What is the difference between Girl Power Support and Premenstrual Support?
What is the difference between Girl Power Support and Premenstrual Support?
Pre Menstrual Support and Girl Power Support both contain chasteberry, which helps with premenstrual complaints.
My daughter hasn't started her period yet, can she take this supplement?
My daughter hasn't started her period yet, can she take this supplement?
The short answer is: no. That is not recommended. A young girl who has not yet started menstruating should not take a supplement containing herbs that affect hormone balance or substances that work on serotonin production.
Does this supplement also work if you don't have a regular menstrual cycle yet?
Does this supplement also work if you don't have a regular menstrual cycle yet?
It is preferable to wait a little longer before starting this supplement. Ideally, you should wait 6 to 12 months to allow the natural hormonal process time to settle before intervening with hormonal herbs. Therefore, it is preferable to only start using them after that period if there are persistent hormonal discomforts around menstruation. Chasteberry and angelica are plant-based hormonal regulators; they influence the estrogen balance, among other things. If you use them too early, you can disrupt the natural maturation process, even if they are mild herbs. Furthermore, for young women, it is advisable to first examine lifestyle, diet, basic supplementation (omega-3, magnesium, zinc, B-complex), and sleep/relaxation before using herbs with hormonal effects.
From what age can I (or my daughter) take Girl Power Support?
From what age can I (or my daughter) take Girl Power Support?
This is not necessarily age-related, but is linked to the phase of hormonal maturation. The guideline is: at least 12 months of cyclically active menstruation. Preferably with already a few regular cycles, although some irregularity is certainly still acceptable.
Can you also use Girl Power Support if you use contraception?
Can you also use Girl Power Support if you use contraception?
That is not recommended. Some ingredients can affect the effectiveness of the pill. Breakthrough bleeding may occur, and the pill may become less reliable. Consult an expert therapist or doctor if you wish to use these two together.
What influence does Girl Power Support have if you use contraception?
What influence does Girl Power Support have if you use contraception?
Chasteberry in this supplement may potentially reduce the effectiveness of the pill. 5-HTP does not directly affect the pill, but if mood swings occur, it may be unclear whether the supplement or the pill is the cause. Angelica has a phytoestrogen-like effect and can influence hormonal balance. Breakthrough bleeding has been reported when using this herb and the pill together. The ingredients zinc, cinnamon, and vitamin B12 in this supplement are safe to use simultaneously with the pill.
Addressing hormonal complaints without the pill? What should you consider?
Addressing hormonal complaints without the pill? What should you consider?
If the pill is not being used for contraceptive reasons, but for example to manage hormonal acne or heavy, painful periods, it may be beneficial to replace the pill with lifestyle and dietary adjustments and targeted supplementation. Incidentally, this advice is of interest to every (young) woman, regardless of pill use (and whether you wish to stop):
Nutrition: plenty of (green leafy) vegetables, especially cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, cauliflower): guideline 300-500 grams per day. Sufficient fiber from, for example, fruit, vegetables, oatmeal, and flaxseed. Healthy fats from, for example, fatty fish, nuts, seeds, coconut, avocado, and olive oil. Limit simple carbohydrates and sugars from soft drinks, candy, white bread, cookies, etc.
Lifestyle: sufficient sleep (preferably go to bed around 11 pm), sufficient daylight (at least 30 minutes outside), daily exercise (walking, cycling, cardio and strength training a few times a week), stress management (breathing exercises, mindfulness, journaling, etc.).
Basic supplementation: magnesium, omega 3, zinc, B-complex, vitamin D3; start in consultation with a therapist regarding dosage.
For persistent hormonal discomfort, Girl Power Support is a great addition (it already contains zinc and B-complex).
If hormonal discomfort persists, i.e. after about 6 months, make an appointment with a doctor or specialized therapist.
