Direction to use
How should Orthomol® Mental be taken?
Dissolve the contents of one packet (= daily serving) in approx. 100 – 150 ml of noncarbonated water or fruit juice every day and take it with or after a meal together with the capsules.
How long should Orthomol® Mental be taken?
Your body needs micronutrients every day. We recommend the long-term, regularuse of Orthomol® Mental.
What must be observed?
- Orthomol® Mental contains readily available carbohydrates, use only with careful metabolism control in the case of disturbances of glucose tolerance.
- The recommended daily serving should not be exceeded.

Helpful info
Why micronutrients for mental health?
Vitamins, minerals, trace elements – these are the constituents of life and they contribute towards developing and protecting the organism. More than 40 micronutrients are necessary to ensure that the metabolism functions properly.
As some of these micronutrients cannot be provided by our body – or only to a very limited extent – they must be ingested through food.
In addition, the need for micronutrients can be higher in certain phases in life, for example, and these possibly cannot be obtained via a modern diet.
Optimal nutrition is one of the most important determinants of healthier aging, reducing the risk of disability, maintaining mental and physical functions, and thus preserving and ensuring a better quality of life. Dietary intake and nutrient absorption decline with age, thus increasing the risk of malnutrition, morbidity and mortality. Specific nutrients, particularly long-chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), might have the potential of preventing and reducing co-morbidities in older adults. Omega-3 PUFAs are able to modulate inflammation, hyperlipidemia, platelet aggregation, and hypertension. Different mechanisms contribute to these effects, including conditioning cell membrane function and composition, eicosanoid production, and gene expression. The present review analyzes the influence of omega-3 PUFAs status and intake on brain function, cardiovascular system, immune function, muscle performance and bone health in older adults. Omega-3 FAs may have substantial benefits in reducing the risk of cognitive decline in older people. The available data encourage higher intakes of omega-3 PUFAs in the diet or via specific supplements. More studies are needed to confirm the role of omega-3 FAs in maintaining bone health and preventing the loss of muscle mass and function associated with aging. In summary, omega-3 PUFAs are now identified as potential key nutrients, safe and effective in the treatment and prevention of several negative consequences of aging.
