The base
Red grape leaf
Vitis vinifera
The leaf of the wine grape, red in autumn and long used in European herbal traditions. It is the plant the formula is built around, and the same species as the grape seed in the cream gel.

What is in it
Four plants, each named on the box
Short ingredient list, no proprietary blend, no filler names you cannot look up. Here is each one and what it is.
Nordic berry
Bilberry
Vaccinium myrtillus
A small dark berry that grows wild across northern Europe — a cousin of the blueberry, deeper in colour and more strongly flavoured.
From the soybean
Soy lecithin
Glycine max
A natural fat fraction of the soybean, widely used in food and supplements. If you avoid soy, this is the ingredient to note.
The kitchen staple
Garlic
Allium sativum
The same bulb you cook with, in a measured amount inside a capsule rather than on the plate.
How to take it
Twice a day, with the rest of your routine
-
Morning
1 to 3 capsules, before or after a meal, with a glass of water.
-
Evening
The second dose, roughly 6 to 7 hours after the first. Same amount.
-
Keep it visible
Supplements work the same way the massage routine does: only if you actually keep taking them. Leave the bottle where you will see it.
Before you take it
Read this first
- Not suitable for children under 7, or during pregnancy and breastfeeding.
- If you take anti-coagulant or anti-platelet medicine, or are allergic to any of the ingredients, consult your physician before taking it.
- A food supplement, not a medicine. It does not diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease, and it does not replace a varied diet or medical advice.
