Rise + Balance bundle

VERBORGEN

Supplements can be taken in different ways. You can take them for maintenance (normal dose), or to address a serious deficiency (hyperdose) or even in a therapeutic way (for example, a week of magnesium after an injury).

With the Mom Plan, SUPS achieves a solid maintenance level, and so also tackles minor deficiencies. We do not use hyperdoses. In RISE, SUPS has considered the absorbability of each vitamin, and a good value (sometimes over 100%) is necessary to supplement minor deficiencies. The Recommended Daily Allowances are values determined for moderate to normal activity. The challenges that certain phases in life entail (motherhood, pregnancy and breastfeeding) mean that you may need even more than the RDA. That is why we also use orthomolecular insights.

Vitamins A, D, E and K are not water-soluble and can accumulate in the body. This should be avoided. However, SUPS remains well below all the standards for Vitamin D. And it also uses a safe formula that makes stacking less dangerous.

The other vitamins, including B12, are water-soluble, so, you lose the excess through urination. Vitamin B12 is a special case too. You can only absorb a small percentage of vitamin B12 from supplements. And that is why a 100% value in a supplement will not be effective. The RDA is determined based on what you can absorb. That is why many supplements have a very high B12 content.

The fairly high dose of vitamin B1 in this supplement is a deliberate choice. B1 is known in orthomolecular medicine for its optimal priming of your cells for other micronutrients. B1 is also known for its powerful effect in supporting mental resilience.

For RISE, we have selected a special form of iron, which, unlike other forms of iron, has no side effects (such as constipation or a metallic taste).

For RISE, the iodine we have selected supports the functioning of your thyroid gland. For women, having a healthy thyroid gland is particularly important. The thyroid gland and thyroid hormone are responsible for controlling many processes in the body including: temperature, metabolism, energy levels and well as hair and nail growth. If the thyroid hormone increases your metabolism, this has a knock-on effect for other functions, such as heart rate, blood flow, body temperature, intestinal function, moisture balance, but also mental functions. If the thyroid gland is not functioning optimally, it can cause a diverse range of complaints and symptoms.

The maximum safe daily dose of B6 is 21 mg. BALANCE contains 4.2 mg, so it is extremely safe.

For BALANCE, SUPS has selected the safest variant of B6 (P5P). The other form (HCI) has attracted some negative attention in the media.

When formulating this supplement, SUPS examined which quantities of B6 have a positive impact on energy, hormone balance and mood, while steering clear of the potential negative effects of extreme hyperdoses.
