Why specifically Orthomol® i-CAre?

Orthomol® i-CAre is a food supplement with phytonutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements.

Phytonutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements
• The group with the name phytonutrients summarizes numerous different compounds synthesized by plants. They include for example carotenoids and citrus bioflavonoids which occur as natural substances in our foods.
• Fish oil is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which include in particular docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). These are polyunsaturated fatty acids which are components of cell membranes, among other benefits.
• Vitamin A, vitamin B2, biotin and niacin contribute to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes (incl. mucous membrane of the mouth).
• Vitamin B12, vitamin B6, vitamin B2, vitamin C, pantothenic acid, folic acid, niacin and magnesium contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Directions to use

How should Orthomol® i-CAre be taken?

Dissolve the contents of one packet (= daily serving) in 150 - 200 ml of non-carbonated water or fruit juice and take it together with the capsules with or after a meal every day. The two capsules contain omega-3 fatty acids as well as extracts from green tea, curcuma, ginger, broccoli and pomegranate.

Good to know

What is Orthomol® i-CAre?

Orthomol® i-CAre is a food supplement with phytonutrients, omega-3 fatty acids, vitamins and trace elements.

The term "phytonutrients" summarizes a large number of compounds that are produced by plants. They include carotenoids and citrus bioflavonoids, for example, which occur naturally in foods.

Especially EPA and DHA are omega-3 fatty acids that are included in high concentration in fish oil. EPA and DHA are polyunsaturated fatty acids that are also constituents of cell membranes.

Vitamin A, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), biotin and niacin contribute to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes (e. g. the oral mucosa). Vitamin B12, vitamin B6, vitamin B2 (riboflavin), vitamin C, pantothenic acid, folic acid, niacin and magnesium contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
