Formats, concentrations and other data to take into account
Capsules or syrups, extract (more concentrated) or dust (less concentrated), 1 or 2 capsules per day ... although there are different forms of presentation and different guidelines, the recommended minimum time is three months because this is reflected by the results of the clinical tests performed and therefore usually coincides with the medical prescription. However, this may vary according to the analytical results obtained or the objective to be achieved.
In Hifas da Terra, as an expert laboratory in the development of nutritional supplements, we bet on very concentrated formulas, with HIGH Extraction Ratios of active biomolecules, to reduce the number of daily capsules and achieve the most adjusted therapeutic dose of published evidence. Thus, while in other supplements it is recommended to take 3-6 capsules per day, Our recommendation descends to 1-2.
Own studies: 6, 12 and 18 weeks
As we have mentioned, in our laboratory we carry out collaborations with professionals that allow us to test the effectiveness of the formulas and, based on our experience, in three months we already manage to see very satisfactory results.
