FAQs

In simple terms, it’s about four key elements – design, quality, bioavailability, simplicity.

First, our world-class science team has decades of experience in understanding and addressing health issues, and they apply this when designing our products. So, the creation of each iüLabs product involves deep scientific know-how around critical challenges such as:

• How to support the body’s complex systems

• How to design and deliver the right dosage

• How to achieve the right effect by combining natural ingredients

That means you’re getting a unique drink that has been very precisely designed by experts to give your system the specific support it needs to address your health need.

Second, we only use pure ingredients that pass our very tough tests, then we apply decades of scientific expertise to balance each ingredient in a precise combination. We analyse all of our raw ingredients and final products for purity and check for pesticides, herbicides and other potential contaminants. Once raw materials arrive at our facilities, our processes and ingredients are fully controlled and documented. Our facilities conform to international food and supplement GMP standards and are independently audited by government authorities. That means you know you’re getting the best ingredients, formulated to deliver more impact to your system.

Third, our patented SoluSmart technology unlocks much more of the natural goodness within your drink. This is a radically different approach to increasing bioavailabiliy – no other supplement or nutraceutical is able to use this technology. That means you’re getting more of the beneficial effect from the drink into your system.

Fourth, we pack each unique and powerful iüLabs formulation into one drink. That means it’s easy for you to take, digest and store, and to carry when you travel.

SoluSmart® is an innovative solute we add to each iüLabs product.

SoluSmart® significantly increases the amount of natural goodness your body can absorb and use when you have an iü drink. To do this, SoluSmart® uses 100% natural plant lipids to form multilaminar vesicles – tiny taxis that can transport ingredients through the gut wall and into your system. The ingredients within a SoluSmart® concentrate are locked-in; to activate the drink you simply add water and shake. This instantly creates millions of fresh vesicles able to carry ingredients to your organs and cells.

No product is right for everyone, but our test results are compelling.

In our experience, many standard supplements promise much but deliver little. We believe our products are much more likely to have an impact for most people, and our ‘early adopter’ testing supports this view. But no one product is right for everyone.

The best approach with any product is to ensure you give it time to take effect – up to 3 months with iüMove, for example – and to support the product by eating, sleeping and moving in the right way. With iüVitalizer – our energy support drink – you are likely to feel an effect pretty much straightaway. If it hasn’t given you a feeling of enhanced energy within one month, it’s probably not right for you.

Put simply, some people do but others don’t.

The best approach with any product is to ensure you give it time to take effect – up to 3 months with iüMove, for example – and to support the product by eating, sleeping and moving in the right way. That’s why we provide holistic support, like The iüMove Programme.

With iüVitalizer – our energy support drink – you are likely to feel an effect pretty much straightaway. If it hasn’t given you a feeling of enhanced energy within one month, it’s probably not right for you.

With iüProtect, the key is to take it every day, consistently, whenever you feel your immune system is under pressure. That might be during a particularly busy time, when you have to travel or socialise a lot, or because you feel your system needs extra long-term support.

Currently, we distribute to the UK only.

We will announce when we add new countries to our distribution. Please bear with us.

Note: if you are a potential distributor in a country we don’t serve directly yet, drop a line to our business development team at info@iülabs.co.

In short, because our unique SoluSmart® solute delivers greater impact.

Many products – especially standard capsule supplements – contain low-grade ingredients, lots of filler materials and no mechanism to help your body absorb nutrients.

If a product is only getting a small amount of low-grade bioactive ingredient into your system, it’s unlikely to have a big impact for you. In fact, most of what you’ve swallowed will just pass through your body. That’s why buying a poorly made supplement is like flushing your money down the toilet.

This is why we select and use only premium natural ingredients and test everything rigorously to ensure it meets our standards. But the key investment for us is our unique bioavailability enhancer, SoluSmart®, which requires a sophisticated production process. So with an iüLabs’ product, you’re paying a little more to ensure you get a big hit of nutrition from our super-pure ingredients – delivered right into your bloodstream and cells.

In many cases you can, but consult your physician first – here’s why:

While completely natural, our products support your cellular function and energy metabolism. This may accelerate the way your body metabolises and detoxifies drugs, which in turn may necessitate adjustments to your drug dosages. So, if you are taking a prescribed medication and thinking about starting on any new nutritional supplement, we strongly advise you to consult with your physician first.

Put simply, always speak to your doctor first.

Different iüLabs products will generally have a complementary effect when taken together

But you should take them at different times of the day – i.e. one in the morning, one at noon or in the evening.

This is because our products are formulated with very precise amounts of ingredients in specific combinations to address a particular health need, such as joint support, immune support or energy support. In some circumstances, increasing the total dose by taking more than one product at exactly the same time could decrease the overall effectiveness for you.

Put simply, yes, but leave plenty of time between drinks.

Everything in iüMove, iüProtect, and iüVitalizer is natural.

We use mainly US Food and Drug Administration GRAS designated ingredients and we rigorously test every ingredient for purity. We prepare the drink in a facility in Germany that conforms to the standards of the international Good Manufacturing Practice certification system. Our drinks contain no fillers, toxins, gluten or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). So, you can be sure you’re getting the best ingredients, in the best way – nothing more, nothing less.

Many of our natural ingredients come from exotic plants around the world.

It’s not always possible to track the exact route of an ingredients from field or forest to our production facilities in Germany. So we analyse our raw ingredients and final products for purity and check for pesticides, herbicides and other potential contaminants.

We only use pure ingredients that pass our tough tests. Once raw materials arrive at our facilities, our processes and ingredients are fully controlled and documented. Our facilities conform to international food and supplement GMP standards and are independently audited by government authorities.

Inflammation is our body’s natural first-line defence against infection and injury.

Think of a bee sting, a sore throat or a sprained ankle. The area gets swollen, hot and tender – all visible signs of inflammation.

Usually this inflammation subsides within days or few weeks as sign of healing and restoration. However, with joint health problems and many other conditions, this inflammation can persist and become chronic.

If this happens, the inflammation destroys the joints and cartilage, resulting in constant swelling, pain and impaired function. So, controlling and reducing inflammation is a crucial factor for restoring and maintaining joint health and addressing the impacts of many other chronic issues.

Our first products are for joint health, immune support and enhanced energy.

Also, our iüFelix product is available for boys with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy.

We are now developing a second wave of products that will address a range of other health issues and needs, including chronic conditions.

With iüMove, much more of what you pay for reaches your cells.

Standard supplements – particularly capsules – cannot deliver the same positive impact to your system unless they have ingredients as pure and precisely balanced as ours, and a delivery system that can match our unique SoluSmart® technology.

Yes, and no…

iüMove and iüProtect are both vegan.

iüVitalizer contains a trace amount of lactose.

The tubes are a short-term solution.

We are working very hard to find a sustainable solution that also ensures product safety.  It is vital that the product does not oxidise after leaving our facility, and travelling on its way to you.  Currently, the tubes are our best, but not the complete solution.

Sustainability is very important to us…

We are in the process of renovating our product packaging to get rid of plastic in our supply chain. Our plan is to provide subscribers with plastic-free refills, and recyclable glass bottles that can be refilled.

We’re a startup but one built on a long history.

We are a new part of Athenion, an established group of companies dedicated to human health and well-being. So, we’re a startup but one built on a long history in science and health.

Within the Athenion group, iüLabs specialises in translating deep scientific and medical expertise into ways to maximise the impact of natural nutritional supplements.

Athenion is privately-owned by its founders, all of whom are committed to advancing human health and well-being through a science-driven holistic approach.

Quinine is generally deemed safe at the low doses.

Examples for low doses are quantities used in food flavorings (tonic water etc.). iüProtect contains 40 mg of quinine per serving. This equates to the amount of quinine in appr. 600 ml of tonic water. These low doses must be distinguished from the much higher therapeutic doses which are in the range of 500 to 1000 mg. Indeed, at these high therapeutic doses, quinine can cause side effects including headache, dizziness, diarrhea, skin rashes, and arrhythmias.

People, who are taking quinine as a medication should avoid iüProtect or any other product (i.e. tonic water etc.) which contain quinine. Pregnant women, children or people allergic to quinine should not take iüProtect.

As with many natural products at low doses that are generally regarded as safe, there are always certain people who react sensitive to certain natural products or allergens.
