Do you ask yourself why we have two separate formulas in MIB?

Simply put, we wanted to avoid unnecessary additives. If we were to have a single homogeneous formula, it would mean using an extra emulsifier to marry the fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins.

Fat-soluble vitamins can be absorbed in higher doses and stored in the body longer, while water-soluble vitamins should be taken regularly for full effect. Since our small, 20ml vials don’t have an infinite amount of active ingredients, we tried to create the best of both worlds: A great tasting & effective nutritional supplement – without unnecessary excipients.

The weekly ‘day of rest’ is also important. Having a day off works as a trigger, kicking the body out of any complacency to continuously extract nutrients throughout the week.

White capped bottles:

Vitamin C is one of the most useful boosters for the immune system. As our bodies can neither produce nor store this essential vitamin, ingesting it every day is vital.*

Vitamin B6 is key for supporting the nervous system and energy metabolism.*

Zinc is an essential nutrient that your body neither creates nor stores. It is involved in many internal processes such as supporting the immune system.*

Chromium helps maintain blood sugar levels already within a normal range.
