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.

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?

- 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.
