At Metis, we strongly believe in the power of natural ingredients to support your body. Our supplements are formulated with high doses of these ingredients to ensure maximum effectiveness. But what is a high dose? And is only a high dose sufficient? In this article, we will answer these questions and discuss why it is important to choose high-quality doses of natural ingredients, supported by scientific evidence.
The power of natural ingredients
Natural ingredients are substances that come directly from nature, such as plant extracts, vitamins and minerals. These substances are better recognized and absorbed by the body, resulting in higher effectiveness and fewer side effects compared to synthetic alternatives. Research shows that natural ingredients often work synergistically, meaning that their combined effects are greater than the sum of their individual effects.
A high, but above all therapeutic dose
The use of a therapeutic dose is crucial for the effectiveness of supplements. A therapeutic dose is an amount of an ingredient that has been clinically determined to provide a specific health benefit. This means that it is not just an arbitrarily high dose, but a precisely calculated amount that is needed to achieve a therapeutic effect without causing side effects. A scientific basis therefore determines the amount of each ingredient. At Metis we ensure that our supplements contain the therapeutic dosages needed for optimal results.
Benefits of high doses
-
Improved effectiveness : High doses of natural ingredients ensure that the body receives enough active ingredients to have a noticeable effect. This is especially important for supplements that improve sleep, reduce stress and promote skin health. Studies have shown that higher, therapeutic doses of certain natural substances, such as melatonin for sleep and ashwagandha for stress, are significantly more effective than lower doses.
-
Better absorption and fewer side effects : Because natural ingredients are better recognized by the body, they are absorbed more efficiently. This means that the positive effects are noticeable faster and the chance of side effects is smaller. For example, research has shown that natural forms of vitamins and minerals are better absorbed than their synthetic counterparts.
-
Tailored to a specific goal : A formula that consists of the therapeutic dose is often tailored to a specific health goal. This means that the combination of ingredients and their specific amounts are balanced in such a way that it provides the most complete and effective support to achieve your health goal.
The importance of co-factors
When formulating our supplements, we also consider the role of cofactors, such as B vitamins. Cofactors are essential substances that work together with other nutrients to optimize their biological activity. For example, B vitamins play a crucial role in energy production, DNA synthesis, and nervous system health. By adding B vitamins to our formulas, we ensure that other ingredients, such as magnesium and zinc, can be better absorbed by the body. Of course, better absorption also means better effects.
The importance of quality
At Metis Supplements, we strive for the highest quality in everything we do. This starts with the selection of our ingredients and continues through the manufacturing and packaging of our products. We ensure that every ingredient is thoroughly tested for purity and potency. Our manufacturing processes adhere to the strictest quality standards to ensure that every supplement we provide is of the highest quality.
How Other Brands Use Low Doses
In the world of nutritional supplements, there are many brands that use low dosages of ingredients, often to save money. This can be at the expense of the effectiveness of the product. In addition, ingredients are often added for marketing purposes, where the amount of these ingredients is too low to actually have an effect. For example, a commonly used dose of valerian between 50-100 mg is not effective. A dose above 350 mg is, according to clinical research, the standard for an effective effect.
This is a practice that misleads consumers into believing they are taking a powerful supplement, when the actual dosages are insufficient to provide any benefits. For example, ingredients such as turmeric and green tea extract are often added because of their popularity, but in such low doses that they provide no scientifically backed benefits. This is purely for marketing and gives the consumer a false sense of safety and effectiveness.
Furthermore, the active part of the plant is often neglected. The real power of valerian, for example, comes from the valerenic acid in the plant, not from the leaves. Although both parts come from the same plant, there is a significant difference in their effects.
