Direction to use

How should Orthomol® Tendo be taken?

Dissolve the contents of one packet (= daily serving) in 100-150 ml of non-carbonated water or fruit juice and take it together with the omega-3 fatty acid capsules, with or after a meal, every day. It is recommended to take the enzyme tablet about half an hour before a meal.

How long should Orthomol® Tendo be taken?

Micronutrients are needed every day – therefore a regular use on a long-term basis is recommended.

What must be observed?

Orthomol® Tendo contains readily available carbohydrates. If you suffer from disturbances of glucose tolerance, only use this food supplement with careful metabolism control.
Orthomol® Tendo should not be used during pregnancy and breast-feeding or for children. Although there were no noticeable disturbances when glucosamine was used during pregnancy in a study, we do not recommend glucosamine or chondroitin during pregnancy and breast-feeding or for children due to the limited existing data.
If you use drugs which affect your blood coagulation, the coagulation parameters should be checked at frequent intervals, especially at the start and termination of treatment.
The recommended daily serving should not be exceeded.
Food supplements are not a replacement for a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Keep out of reach of children.

Is there any other useful information?

Orthomol® Tendo is lactose- and gluten-free.
When you take Orthomol® Tendo, occasional slight belching due to the fish oil content (omega-3 fatty acids) in the capsules may occur. In order to avoid this, it is recommendable to take the capsules before going to bed.
The vitamin B2 content in Orthomol® Tendo may cause a yellow discoloration of the urine.
This product contains beta-carotene (provitamin A) which has a strong coloring effect. Any stains, e.g. on clothes, are difficult to remove.

How should Orthomol® Tendo be stored?

Orthomol® Tendo should be kept in a cool, dry place.

Good to know

What is Orthomol® Tendo?

Orthomol® Tendo contains important micronutrients for the connective tissue:

Manganese and Copper contribute to normal formation and maintenance of connective tissue.
Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation.
Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin B2, Zinc, Selenium, Copper and Manganese contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative damage.
Magnesium contributes to normal protein synthesis.

With the additional micronutrients Collagen Hydrolyzate, Enzymes (Bromelain, Papain) and Omega-3 Fatty Acids.

Collagen is an important structure protein of the connective tissue.
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.
