Prohibited Substances and Additives

We believe that health products should be completely free from harmful substances.

That’s why we have a long list of ingredients and additives that we never allow in our selection — either because they can have negative effects on the body or because they’re simply unnecessary.

The list is continuously updated based on new research and valuable feedback from our customers.
