How to properly use and apply Neobotanics skin serums?

A) TESTING PHASE– individual serum testing (without combinations):

  1. Skin cleansing (makeup removing oil/milk/foam)
  2. Skin toning (toner)
  3. SERUM – apply a few drops and let dry, 1-2 times a day, preferably morning and evening
  4. Cream/skin oil

In the testing phase, we recommend trying each serum separately for 2-3 days, not combining it with other serums.
Only combine multiple serums after you have verified that the individual serums are suitable for your skin.

B) REGULAR APPLICATION serum combination:

  1. Skin cleansing (makeup removing oil/milk/foam)
  2. Skin toning (toner)
  3. SERUM #1 - apply a few drops of water-based serum (#1) and let dry
  4. SERUM #2 - apply a few drops of oil serum (#2) and let dry
  5. Cream/skin oil

Drying time:aqueous serum (#1) approx.10 seconds, oil serum (#2) approx.30-60 seconds.
Quantity: just usea few drops, serums are very concentrated.
We recommend 1 drop on each cheek, another on the chin, nose and forehead, i.e. a total of approximately 0.035 drops.

How often to apply:1-2 times a day, preferablymorning and evening
With regular application, serums can be combined, namely any water-based (#1) and oil-based serum (#2), according to the current needs of the skin, see below for recommended serum combinations for different skin types.

Notice:
We do not recommend layering the same type of serum twice on top of each other. This could disrupt the synergistic effect of the active ingredients or cause skin irritation due to an unnecessarily high amount of active ingredients on top of each other. So do not apply two water-based serums (#1 and #1) or two oil-based serums (#2 and #2) on top of each other. That is why the bottles are marked #1 and #2.

Is it possible to combine Neobotanics facial serums?

With regular application, individual serums can be combined:

Step 1: water-based serum (#1), let it dry

Step 2: oil-based serum (#2), let it dry

The choice of a specific water-based or oil-based serum is suitable according to the skin type or current needs, see below for recommended serum combinations for different skin types.

Warning: We do not recommend layering the same type of serum twice. This could disrupt the synergistic effect of the active ingredients or irritate the skin due to an unnecessarily high amount of active ingredients layered on top of each other. Therefore, do not apply two water-based serums (#1 and #1) or two oil-based serums (#2 and #2) on top of each other. For this reason, the bottles are marked #1 and #2.

Recommended serum combinations by skin type:


Dry skin, deep wrinkles, loss of radiance and elasticity:
ANTI-WRINKLE SKIN REJUVENATOR #1 + INSTANT BEAUTY & RADIANCE #2

How long does a wrinkle serum last?

The 30 ml skin serum will last us about 1-2 months with daily use.
It depends on whether it is used once or twice a day. When used only once a day, the serum will last up to 2 months, when applied twice a day, about 1 month.

Serums are very concentrated, you only need to use a few drops.
We recommend 1 drop on each cheek, another on the chin, nose and forehead, i.e. a total of about 5 drops.

Are any of the Neobotanics skin serums suitable for rosacea?

Cosmetic products are not intended to treat rosacea or affect its cause. If you have skin that is prone to significant sensitivity and redness, we recommend choosing the most gentle routine possible, minimizing the number of steps, and introducing new products gradually.

In our experience, YOUTH BOOSTER #2 is often well tolerated by rosacea-prone skin because it is an oil serum focused on skin comfort. It is formulated with squalane and selected oils and contains active ingredients such as bakuchiol, Argirelin™ YOUth peptide and magnolia extract.
The oily texture usually allows for very gentle application without unnecessary friction, which is practical for reactive skin. At the same time, it is often advantageous for sensitive skin to keep the routine simple (fewer layers, less risk of overload).

Practical safe procedure for rosacea:

  • Patch (skin) test: apply a small amount to a small area and observe the reaction for 24–48 hours.
  • Start with a low frequency: e.g. 2–3 times a week, ideally in the evening, and increase as tolerated.
  • Apply only to calm skin: avoid use on acutely irritated, burning or broken skin.
  • Minimalist care: in a sensitive period, "less is more" (gentle cleansing, simple hydration, one serum).
  • If you have been diagnosed with rosacea: it is advisable to align your routine with the dermatologist's recommendations, especially if you are also using medical therapy.

Tip: If you want to start as gently as possible, apply 1-2 drops and only press in gently (without massaging), or use every other day.

Are Neobotanics skin serums natural?

Our serums are designed as highly effective cosmetic care that targetscombines
natural bioactive substances and advanced biotechnological active ingredients. The goal of this concept is maximum functionality and meaningful results in everyday care - therefore, for us, "natural" does not mean just simple oils, but above all bioactive substances with a clear role in the product.

Oil serums (#2): bioactive lipid extracts and non-polar plant substances

We base our oil serums on highly bioactive lipid extracts and non-polar (oil) plant bioactives. These include, for example, Stoechiol (a plant bioactive complex) and the Argirelin Youth peptide, which is specially formulated to be soluble in an oil base.
The basis of oil serums is squalane and rare natural oils, which ensure pleasant application, support skin comfort, and at the same time create a suitable environment for the stability and effectiveness of lipophilic active ingredients.

Water serums (#1):biotechnological peptides, liposomal systems and modern bioactive complexes

Water serums are based on advanced biotechnological, highly effective bioactive peptides and modern active complexes. We often use liposomal forms, which are designed to enable effective transport of active ingredients into the skin, their better distribution and interaction with skin structures. An example is the X50 Antiaging Capsules technology.
We also work with modern cosmetic assets such as plant stem cells (Resistem), postbiotics (BB-Biont) and growth factors (Reneseed) - the goal is to support sophisticated skin care across various needs (comfort, smoother and more unified appearance, overall quality of the skin surface).

Why do we use a combination of water and oil serums?

The combination of these substances in our serums is intentional: we combine natural bioactive ingredients with advanced cosmetic biotechnology to achieve high efficacy while maintaining comfort of use and high-quality sensory properties.

Tip:If you have sensitive skin, we always recommend a patch (skin) test and introducing a new product gradually (e.g. every other day) to properly assess tolerance.

Are Neobotanics skin serums suitable for microneedling (microneedling, mesotherapy, dermaroller, dermapen)?

Neobotanics skin serums were developed so that the active ingredients penetrate the skin and work even without mesotherapy.

Serums are primarily developed fortopical (surface) application to the skin. They are not declared assterile preparations intended for mesotherapy or microneedling application, where the skin barrier is disrupted and substances penetrate significantly deeper into the skin.

However, microneedling should probably be possible, but we recommend doing a patch test first.
small area of ​​skin to check for irritation.

From a purely theoretical point of view, it would be more suitable for microneedlingaqueous serumbecause oil serums are not commonly used in this type of treatment.

However, it is necessary to take into account that some of these serums containhigher concentration of active ingredients (e.g. niacinamide, peptides or other bioactive ingredients)Microneedling could therefore lead tomore intense penetration of these substances and potential skin irritationbecause microneedling temporarily significantly increases skin permeability. For this reason, we generally recommend using our serumsafter microneedling only in the aftercare phasewhen the skin is already calmed, not directly during the treatment.

Formesotherapy / microneedling (dermaroller, dermapen)is, from a purely theoretical point of view, the most suitable type of serum with the following properties:

  • water (not oil) base
  • not too high concentrations of active and irritating substances
  • content of moisturizing and regenerating ingredients

The most suitable serumfrom our offer is waterAnti-Wrinkle Skin Rejuvenator #1:

  • water base
  • contains hydrating and regenerating ingredients (e.g. hyaluronic acid, peptides, etc.)
  • focused on skin regeneration and collagen production

The composition is generally closer to what is used in professional microneedling ampoules
(hydrating, reparative).

A rather less suitable serum is aqueousSkin Perfector #1:

  • contains a very high concentration of niacinamide (20%) and other bioactive substances
  • after disrupting the skin barrier with microneedling, it could cause significant irritation.

Not suitable for microneedling:

  • Instant Beauty & Radiance #2
  • Youth Booster #2

Reason: they areoil serumsThe oil phase is not usually used in microneedling because it is more difficult to penetrate the microchannels and may increase the risk of inflammation or comedones.

Collagen - types I, II, III

Which of the collagen types I, II, III is more suitable for the skin and which for the joints?

Most people are unaware of the fact, held by many doctors, that type II collagen for joints is not necessarily better than hydrolyzed type I collagen.

Types of collagen in the body:

  • Type I collagenis most abundant in the skin. Products with hydrolyzed type I collagen (for example, from fish skin or beef hide) are therefore associated with improving the elasticity, hydration and appearance of the skin, hair and nails.
  • Type II collagenis a part of joint cartilage. Therefore, it is often stated that collagen peptides prepared from type II collagen are ideal for supporting the musculoskeletal system - e.g. in dietary supplements for athletes or people suffering from joint problems.
  • Type III collagenIt can play a complementary role in supporting tissue and vascular health, but is most often seen in combination with type I.

Although type I collagen is most associated with the skin, it is increasingly appearingevidencethathydrolyzed peptidesobtained from type I collagen are beneficial for the joint system.

Why is type I collagen just as good for joints as type II collagen?

When taking collagen in dietary supplements, collagen breaks down in the digestive tract into individual amino acids and peptides, which the body then uses according to its needs - i.e. for the production of collagen in various tissues (joints, skin, tendons, ligaments, etc.). Therefore, hydrolyzed collagen type I is often used in practice, as it is very well absorbed and can support the regeneration of connective tissues throughout the body.

Hydrolyzed type I collagen (e.g. marine collagen) is used as a building material for various tissues in the body, including joints, after absorption.

The collagens in the Neobotanics range are marine collagen peptides (type I), which are known for their good bioavailability and are suitable for overall support of connective tissues - i.e. skin, tendons, ligaments and joints.

More in the blog articleCollagen Types I, II, III: What for Joints and What for Skin? Myths and Reality

What type of collagen is Neobotanics Collagen?

Neobotanics animal collagens:

They contain Naticol marine fish collagen peptides, which are type I marine collagen peptides.
These are known for their good bioavailability and are suitable for overall support of connective tissues - i.e. skin, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Neobotanics plant collagen:

Vegan collagen alternative + 20 ESSENCESis a plant-based alternative to animal collagen. It contains 1000 mg of VOLLAGEN® – a complex of amino acids in a ratio corresponding to animal collagen, but in a 100% vegan version. The plant-based amino acids are specially designed in a ratio similar to that found in collagen.

Is CBD ANTI-EDEMA GEL also suitable for swelling after leg surgery?

CBD ANTI-EDEMA GELis a cosmetic product intended for skin care and massage of skin prone to swelling and for a feeling of comfort for tired legs.

We recommend using the gel after surgery, but only if the skin at the application site is fully healed and the application is in accordance with the post-surgery regimen determined by the doctor (especially if you have compression, a specific rehabilitation procedure, etc.).

Safety recommendations after surgery:

  • Do not apply to injured, open or otherwise disturbed skin (e.g. fresh scars, wounds, scabs, areas with stitches).
  • Avoid application in the immediate vicinity of the surgical wound until the skin is fully healed and free of sensitive areas.
  • Start slowly: in the first few days after inclusion, apply a small amount to a smaller area and monitor tolerance.
  • If in doubt, follow the advice of your treating physician (especially in case of complicated healing, infection, hematomas, use of anticoagulants, etc.).

Using the gel in practice:

  • Apply tosurrounding healed areasand massage gently.
  • It is practically proven in the morning (comfort during the day) and, if necessary, in the evening.
  • If you are using compression aids at the same time, apply the gel so that it is fully absorbed before putting on the compression.
Which products should I use for facial swelling and under-eye bags?

We do not recommend using the gel on facial skin. This gel is intended for the body, and its composition may be unnecessarily irritating for more sensitive facial skin (and especially the eye area). For your face, choose products that are formulated and tested for facial skin.

Lymphatic system

How to use Flavo-Lymf tincture?

Doporučená denní dávka je 20 kapek 3x denně – celkem 60 kapek.

Individuální dávkování:
Nejvhodnější je počet kapek odpovídající celkové hmotnosti rozdělit do 3 denních dávek.
Osoba o hmotnosti 60 kg užívá 60 kapek, rozdělených do 3x20 kapek za den.

Pokud je pro Vás nemožné zajistit užívání v poledne, lze rozdělit do 2 denních dávek.
Osoba o hmotnosti 60 kg užívá 60 kapek, rozdělených do 2x30 kapek za den.

Doporučujeme jako kůru po dobu min. 2-3 měsíců. Po této kůře je možné dávkování snižovat, popř. vysadit a znovu nasadit či zvýšit dle aktuálního stavu.

Tip pro užívání: Kapky můžete užívat přímo nebo ve sklenici vody, ovocné šťávy nebo studeného čaje a ihned vypijte.

UPOZORNĚNÍ:

Nepřekračujte doporučené denní dávkování. Není určeno jako náhrada pestré stravy. Není určeno pro děti, těhotné a kojící ženy. Uchovávejte mimo dohled a dosah dětí, chraňte před přímým slunečním zářením. Po otevření uchovávejte v chladu (do 8°C) a spotřebujte během 3 měsíců. Poraďte se se svým lékařem o užívání produktu a jeho délce. Nepoužívejte nebo přerušte použití produktu při podezření na jaterní onemocnění.

Činnost lymfatického systému mohou ovlivnit i extrakty z bylin – k normální činnosti lymfatického systému přispívá třeba ploštičník, který je obsažen právě v bylinné tinktuře Flavo-lymf.

Upozornění: Flavo-lymf tinktura je doplněk stravy, nejedná se o náhradu léčby. 

Bylinné tinktury a rostlinné extrakty mohou obsahovat látky, které ovlivňují účinnost léků a imunitní systém. Důvodem je, že některé byliny mohou ovlivňovat metabolismus léků v játrech (např. přes enzymy CYP450), jiné mohou mít imunomodulační účinky.

Proto je při současném užívání jakýchkoliv léků vždy nutná předchozí konzultace s ošetřujícím lékařem.

Is Flavo-lymph also suitable for water retention in the body?

Flavo-Lymf tedy může pomoci při zadržování vody v těle – obsahuje byliny, které podporují vylučování vody, funkci ledvin a lymfatického systému. Účinek je spíše postupný, nejlépe funguje při pravidelném užívání v kombinaci s dostatečným pitným režimem a pohybem.

Immunity

What are the most effective dietary supplements for boosting IMMUNITY?

The "basis" for immune support is a combination of vitamin D + vitamin C + zinc + selenium. These micronutrients contribute to the normal function of the immune system (vitamin D, vitamin C, zinc, selenium) and also contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress (vitamin C, zinc, selenium).

We recommend:

  1. Vitamin D3 + K2 with sea buckthorn oil
  2. Liposomal Vitamin C Plus + Zn + Se + bioflavonoids - vitamin C, zinc and selenium contribute to the normal function of the immune system and to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
  3. IMUNACUT FORTE – Immuno Herbal Complex with vitamin C, a combination of vitamin C (immunity, oxidative stress) and herbal extracts – especially suitable during periods of increased stress.
  4. NEOCELLIUM – mushroom extracts, ginseng and vitamins, a comprehensive formula with mushrooms/ginseng and vitamins, suitable as a longer-term "seasonal" support during challenging periods.
  5. Polar Plankton Omega-3 Plus Omega-3 (EPA and DHA) primarily support normal heart function; customers often include them as part of their overall nutrition during challenging periods.

IMUNACUT FORTE and NEOCELLIUM can be taken simultaneously or as sequential courses (NEOCELLIUM more "mushrooms/ginseng", IMUNACUT more "herbs + vitamin C"). Always adhere to the recommended dosage on the label.

After illness or stress, our glycerin-based herbal tinctures are also great:

  1. NEO-DTOX – spruce and pine needle tincture for normal respiratory system function
  2. GarliFerm - black garlic extract
  3. KRENZYME - horseradish root extract

Vitamins

Are there any restrictions on the use of liposomal vitamin C in a child over 12 years of age?

Always follow the recommendations on the label of a specific product. If the product is not intended for children, choose a variant intended for the given age group or consult a pediatrician.

The approximate reference dose of vitamin C for ages 12+ is usually around 80–100 mg per day (labels often state a reference value of 80 mg, for adolescents the recommendations are around 90–100 mg/day depending on age and gender). In practice, it is therefore reasonable to aim for a total daily intake (from food + supplement) of around this range, unless otherwise directed by a doctor.

What is the difference between Liposomal vit. C +Zn+ Se and Neolipo Noox - Lipoz. vitamin C+ Zn + Se?

There is no difference in terms of composition and active ingredients – they are identical products. They differ only in name and type of packaging:

  • Neolipo Nooxis packedin plastic.
  • Liposomal vit. C + Zn + Seis packedin glass.

We introduced the glass version at the request of customers who prefer plastic-free packaging. The choice is therefore purely up to your packaging preference.

What would you recommend for better hair and nail quality?

For the appearance of hair and nails, the following micronutrients are typically used:

  • Zinc: contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails; it also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
  • Biotin: contributes to the maintenance of normal hair (and also normal skin condition).
  • Selenium: contributes to the maintenance of normal hair and nails; it also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
  • Copper: contributes to normal hair pigmentation.
  • Vitamin C: contributes to normal collagen formation and the normal function of the skin.

A suitable choice is BEAUTY MARINE COLLAGEN + 22 ESSENCES with natural raspberry-cranberry flavor (267 g / 30 doses) - a dietary supplement based on NATICOL® marine collagen peptides, supplemented with NeoLipo® C (liposomal vitamin C), MSM, hyaluronic acid, selected plant extracts, B vitamins, zinc and manganese, and also inulin (soluble fiber).

  • Check the ingredients and daily dose on the label and do not exceed the recommended dosage.
  • Hair and nails and their changes - expect that changes in appearance usually become apparent after several weeks of regular use, which corresponds to the natural growth cycle (typically longer for nails).
  • If you are simultaneously taking multiple products with the same micronutrients (e.g., zinc/selenium/biotin), monitor their total daily intake.
How should I take Neolipo D3 + K2 correctly?

The package states 500% of the RDI for vitamin D3 and 60% of K2. Are there any side effects with long-term use?

The recommended dosage is 5 drops once a day, which corresponds to 1000 IU (25 µg) of vitamin D3 and 45 µg of vitamin K2. The package contains approximately 800 drops (approx. 150 doses).
The 500% RDI for vitamin D3 is 500% of the Reference Intake (RI) which is a guideline daily reference value for the general population – it is not a “toxic threshold”. If you want to take a lower dose, you can reduce the dosage to 2-3 drops per day.

How to use:

  • Take daily, ideally with food (vitamin D is fat-soluble).
  • Stick to the recommended dosage on the label and do not exceed it.

Long-term use and safety:

  • If the recommended dosage is followed, the product is also intended for long-term use.
  • If you are taking blood-thinning medications (anticoagulants, e.g. warfarin), take vitamin K2 preparations only after consulting your doctor.
  • If you are also taking other products with vitamin D, monitor your total daily intake.
  • For people with specific health conditions (e.g. calcium metabolism disorders, kidney disease), it is advisable to consult a doctor about the dosage; in practice, the dose of vitamin D is often adjusted according to the laboratory value of 25(OH)D.

Muscles and joints

How can I support the condition of my muscles and joints?

Supporting muscles and joints relies on a combination of carefully selected nutrients and food supplements, regular exercise, and regeneration.

  • Proteins contribute to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
  • Vitamin D contributes to normal muscle function and the maintenance of normal bones.
  • Magnesium contributes to normal muscle function and to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
  • Calcium contributes to normal muscle function and is needed for the maintenance of normal bones.
  • Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones.
  • Manganese contributes to the normal formation of connective tissue; copper contributes to the maintenance of normal connective tissues.

Regular exercise (ideally with a strength component), quality sleep, and regeneration are also important. To support the musculoskeletal system, we recommend combining internal support (food supplements) and external care (cosmetics for massage and comfort).

1. INTERNAL CARE - Food Supplements

  • ARTHRO-8 COMPLEX FORTE
    Comprehensive joint nutrition with selected ingredients to support joints and bones. In addition to Turmeric and Boswellia, it contains vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage, and manganese, which contributes to the normal formation of connective tissues.
  • PREMIUM MARINE COLLAGEN + 17 ESSENCES
    Marine collagen peptides supplemented with other synergistic ingredients. Contains liposomal vitamin C, which contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones.

2. EXTERNAL CARE - cosmetics for massage and comfort:

  • HOT SKIN GEL (warming)
    Warming gel for massaging strained areas and a feeling of relaxation/comfort.
  • ICE SKIN GEL (cooling)
    Cooling gel for massage and a refreshing feeling after exertion.

How to use the gels: 

Apply a small amount in a thin layer to the desired area and gently massage in. Adjust the choice of HOT vs. ICE according to whether you prefer a warming or cooling sensation – or you can alternate them as needed.

What to use with greater physical load?

During higher physical activity, dietary supplements are selected according to the goal (energy and fatigue, muscle function, bone and joint support, protection against oxidative stress). In practice, the following micronutrients with permitted health claims are often used:

  • Vitamin B6andVitamin B12:They contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue; they contribute to normal energy metabolism.
  • Vitamin C: contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue; contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.
  • Vitamin D: contributes to normal muscle function and the maintenance of normal bone condition.

Recommended products from our offer:

  • ARTHRO-8 COMPLEX FORTE
    A dietary supplement focused on bones and joints. Contains, among other things, vitamin C, turmeric, boswellia and manganese. Vitamin C contributes, among other things, to normal collagen formation for normal cartilage function and manganese contributes to normal connective tissue formation.
  • Polar Plankton Omega-3 Plus(EPA and DHA). Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA contribute to normal heart function (with a daily intake of 250 mg EPA+DHA). The product is especially popular with athletes as part of overall nutrition and regeneration.

LIPOSOMAL VITAMIN C PLUS + Zn + Se + bioflavonoidsA practical choice during exercise, because vitamin C, zinc and selenium contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress and at the same time vitamin C and zinc contribute to the normal function of the immune system (zinc also) - especially suitable during periods of demanding exercise.

Which of the collagen types I, II, III is more suitable for the skin and which for the joints?

Most people are unaware of the fact, held by many doctors, that type II collagen for joints is not necessarily better than hydrolyzed type I collagen.

Types of collagen in the body:

  • Type I collagenis most abundant in the skin. Products with hydrolyzed type I collagen (for example, from fish skin or beef hide) are therefore associated with improving the elasticity, hydration and appearance of the skin, hair and nails.
  • Type II collagenis a part of joint cartilage. Therefore, it is often stated that collagen peptides prepared from type II collagen are ideal for supporting the musculoskeletal system - e.g. in dietary supplements for athletes or people suffering from joint problems.
  • Type III collagenIt can play a complementary role in supporting tissue and vascular health, but is most often seen in combination with type I.

Although type I collagen is most associated with the skin, it is increasingly appearingevidencethathydrolyzed peptidesobtained from type I collagen are beneficial for the joint system.

Why is type I collagen just as good for joints as type II collagen?

When taking collagen in dietary supplements, collagen breaks down in the digestive tract into individual amino acids and peptides, which the body then uses according to its needs - i.e. for the production of collagen in various tissues (joints, skin, tendons, ligaments, etc.). Therefore, hydrolyzed collagen type I is often used in practice, as it is very well absorbed and can support the regeneration of connective tissues throughout the body.

Hydrolyzed type I collagen (e.g. marine collagen) is used as a building material for various tissues in the body, including joints, after absorption.

The collagens in the Neobotanics range are marine collagen peptides (type I), which are known for their good bioavailability and are suitable for overall support of connective tissues - i.e. skin, tendons, ligaments and joints.

What type of collagen is Neobotanics Collagen?

Neobotanics animal collagens:

They contain Naticol marine fish collagen peptides, which are type I marine collagen peptides.
These are known for their good bioavailability and are suitable for overall support of connective tissues - i.e. skin, tendons, ligaments and joints.

Neobotanics plant collagen:

Vegan collagen alternative + 20 ESSENCESis a plant-based alternative to animal collagen. It contains 1000 mg of VOLLAGEN® – a complex of amino acids in a ratio corresponding to animal collagen, but in a 100% vegan version. The plant-based amino acids are specially designed in a ratio similar to that found in collagen.

Weight management and fat metabolism

How to care for skin with cellulite while also controlling body weight?

The best results usually come from comprehensive long-term care.

1) INTERNAL CARE – based on dietary supplements rich in flavonoids and antioxidants:
-Flavo-LymphEthanol-free herbal tincture (glycerite) with extracts from 14 traditional Czech herbs rich in flavonoids. The product is based on botanical ingredients that are traditionally associated with the "lymphatic" routine and excretion (e.g., flatweed - normal activity of the lymphatic system; nettle/needle/meadowflower/yarrow/burdock - excretion; dandelion flower - detoxification; nightshade - liver and biliary tract; broadleaf/blueberry - vascular system). The tincture is suitable as a long-term supplement to overall care, especially if you want to include herbal extracts rich in flavonoids in your regimen.

How to better control body weight?

It is important to note that no safe dietary supplement will “burn fat” on its own without adjusting your diet and regimen. When controlling body weight, the goal should be to support metabolism, digestion, and drainage – gently and long-term.

Recommended combination:
Neobotanics Slim Beauty Day Essence daily dietary supplement 60 capsuleshelping the body work more efficiently throughout the day, this daily formula is aimed at:
- support for fat metabolism
- appetite control
- energy during the day
- support for combustion during movement

Neobotanics Slim Beauty Night Essence night food supplement 60 capsulescan contribute to better morning bowel movements and reduce the feeling of water retention, the night formula is aimed at:
- support of detoxification processes
- dehydration of the body
- support digestion and regularity
- harmonization of metabolism at night

Stool regularity is most influenced by sufficient drinking (at least 2–2.5 l per day), fiber intake, and exercise.
The nighttime formula can support natural processes in the body, but it should not act as an aggressive laxative - that would not be appropriate in the long term.
If someone is looking for a “very strong” effect (e.g., significant laxative or severe dehydration), caution is needed. Overly aggressive intervention can lead to intestinal irritation, loss of minerals, and a slowdown in metabolism.

Therefore, we recommend proceeding gradually and safely.

It is also great at supporting digestion and detoxifyingPure organic chlorellaThis freshwater microalgae supports the cleansing function of the liver, contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system, and supports digestion and metabolism.

Slim beauty essence capsules and Chlorella algae can also be combined with each other.

Supergreens - Green Foods

I have intestinal discomfort after taking chlorella, can you advise what to do about it?

Sensitive individuals may experience digestive discomfort when taking chlorella, most often at higher doses or when the dose is increased too quickly. In such cases, we recommend adjusting the dosage regimen and proceeding slowly.

What to do if you feel sick after taking chlorella

  • Return to a lower dose and increase it gradually as tolerated.
  • Take with food (or 20-30 minutes before meals) and ensure adequate hydration.
  • If problems persist even with a low dose, discontinue use and consider consulting a doctor or pharmacist.

Recommended dosage (gradual introduction)

  • Initial dose:2–3 tablets1× daily for 1 week.
  • Maintenance dose:6 tablets daily.
  • Children under 12 years:2–3 tablets daily.

Chlorella is suitable for use as a monthly treatment. If a higher dose does not suit you, it is possible to stay on a lower dose for a long time - tolerance is individual and depends, among other things, on digestion and body weight.

Vegan

Are Neobotanics products suitable for vegans?

Most NEOBOTANICS dietary supplements are suitable for vegans, but we always recommend checking the specific product by looking at the ingredients on the label, as some products may contain ingredients of animal origin.

Typically, the following products/variants are not vegan:

  • Vitamin Din some variants (often the source islanolin).
  • Some products with vitamin C, if they are also enriched with vitamin D - you always need to check the composition.
  • Polar Plankton Omega-3 (krill/plankton) – this is omega-3 from a marine source (not vegan).
  • Premium Marine Collagen – contains fish collagen peptides (not vegan).

In our vegan cellulose capsules, the capsule shell is of plant origin and the capsules usually contain only a mixture of active ingredients without unnecessary fillers; however, even here, the specific product label is always decisive.
