What effects do the products have?
Food supplements are subject to food legislation. This means we are only permitted to provide very limited information to “normal consumers” about the health aspects of our products and their ingredients. Find out more about this on our website under Legal issues. “Consumers”, in this sense, refers specifically to customers who do not belong to any particular group of medical specialists.
Doctors, alternative health practitioners or nutritional therapists, for instance, who are familiar with and use our products, can give you more comprehensive information. If your therapist has not heard of TISSO before, feel free to mention us to him or her.

What does NRVs stand for (Nutrient reference values)?
The reference amounts are the amounts generally recommended for the daily intake of vitamins and minerals as laid down by the Food Information Regulation (LMIV, Annex XIII). The figures are for a healthy adult with an average daily energy consumption of 2000 kilocalories (kcal), i.e. for healthy women of average weight.
The percentages provided in our list of ingredients indicate what share of the reference daily allowance you would achieve through the daily intake of our product.

What are International Units (IU)?
This is something referred to with some of our products that are rich in vitamins. International units (IU) are units of measurement of the active ingredients defined by the WHO for certain substances – e.g. antibiotics, insulin and even some vitamins. They ensure uniform dosages for products or compounds that are differently effective within the same substance class. The relation between the international unit and the amount of substance differs with each substance.
For example: Vitamin A is a collective term for several chemically-related compounds with a different vitamin A activity. The IE given for vitamin A always refers to the retinol compound: 1 IE vitamin A is the equivalent of 0.3 microgrammes of retinol. A daily dosage of our Pro Vita D3 Forte contains 220 microgrammes of vitamin A in the form of retinyl palmitate, which is 400 IE or corresponds to 120 microgrammes of retinol. For instance, in order to achieve 400 IE via the vitamin A precursor beta-carotene, 720 microgrammes of the product would be needed.
For some substances there are now additional, more up-to-date units of measurement. For instance, the active ingredient for vitamin A is also provided in retinol equivalents and the one for vitamin E in tocopherol equivalents.
