Although advertisements keep bombarding us with the recommendation of consuming vitamin products, and they also indicate how much of each product we should consume, it is important to know that people are different, with different metabolism, eating habits, life situations and living with a different intensity. It is therefore an overly rough simplification to declare that all people should consume the same amount of a vitamin or nutritional supplement. Of course, from a marketing perspective, recommending to take 1 pill a day is very easy to communicate. Unfortunately, things are not quite that simple, because our body is a very complex system, and each person is a little different. It would be foolish to think that everyone has the exact same need for vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, with no consideration to their age, weight, state of health, eating habits and lifestyle. It can even change for an individual on a daily basis, since if they have a stressful day or do vigorous physical activity, their needs change right away.

Then how much Topform should be taken on a daily basis?

If you are an average person, who can be considered healthy, with an average weight, under an average strain, experience shows that it is enough for you to consume 1 scoop of Topform 1 per day in the morning. This makes 1 box enough for 2 months.

When you feel you are under a harder strain either mentally or physically, or you feel like you are “coming down with something” (e.g. a cold, infection), you had to stay up very late at night, or you are a woman on your period, or you have been partying, it is good to increase the frequency of consuming the product, i.e. taking it not 1x, but 2x or even 3x a day.

(For those receiving chemotherapy treatment, experience shows that it is advisable to increase the dose 2 days before the start of chemo, and to consume the increased dose on the day you receive the chemo and for the following 2 days as well.)

It is also important to bear in mind that, since Topform also contains ginseng (a great immunostimulant and vitalizer), refrain from consuming it after 5 PM, for its stimulating effect may keep you awake at night. It’s good to explore how the product affects you.

Due to the special production technology, our products' moisture content is very low (3-5% maximum in Orifiit and Purfit, and 20% maximum in Topform and Child products), and they contain high concentrations of natural antioxidants (flavonoids, vitamins A and C). Due to the low water content, the pH of the plants and the high antioxidant concentration, the products have a high microbiological stability, so they do not spoil. They retain their original quality for up to two years if stored adequately.

Thanks to the special manufacturing technology, InnoFit products are able to naturally preserve heat-sensitive vitamins, which is why the vitamin content of InnoFit products is not comparable to that of conventional vitamin products. There, either the products are made up entirely of synthetic vitamins, or minimal natural active ingredients from plants (a few hundred milligrams at most) are supplemented with synthetic vitamins, of which, research shows that only a few percent is utilized. Therefore we have no interest in competing with the vitamin content of products manufactured in that way and we believe customers are misled with those data.

All things can be overdosed by excessive consumption. Therefore, the question is not whether or not it can be overdosed, but what happens when we eat too much of it. Our experience shows that probably nothing. Our body gets rid of the excess quantity intelligently (e.g. in the form of urine, or excreted in the form of mild diarrhea as an immune response), and – as with other foods – an “aversion” or a temporary feeling of disgust can appear as a self-defensive reaction. It is essential to understand that these effects are not signs of illness, but are a healthy body’s response to excessive consumption. To avoid this, do not go overboard, but consume the quantity indicated on the box.

The products do not contain gluten (grain protein). No products containing gluten are made at the manufacturer, so not even traces of gluten can be found in the products.

Deterioration of blood vessels is a serious complication for people with diabetes. Numerous studies show the positive effects consuming berries has on blood vessels (vascular protection, slowing down the development of vasoconstriction), therefore their consumption is highly recommended. Since Topform, Child, and Purfit products are mainly made from berries, they are excellent for vascular protection. Although the products do contain fructose because of the fruit, their sugar content is so small that if taken with a meal it is not necessary to count it towards the daily carbohydrate intake, except in severe cases. (3g per scoop for Topform, Child and 5g per sachet for Orifit and Purfit can be used for the calculation)

If you eat a healthy diet and you can eat a sufficient amount of fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors, freshly picked, and at a satisfactory quality day after day, you may be one of the few people who do not need supplements in any form, including InnoFit products. Statistics show that most people either lack the variety, quality or quantity to consume the professionally recommended daily amount. If you live a stressful life, exercise, are pregnant, elderly, or in case you smoke or have digestive problems, it is most likely that even with a healthy diet it may be beneficial for you to consume InnoFit products due to your increased need. Make sure to assess your personal situation.

Since the products are fruit and vegetable concentrates and the plants in InnoFit products, as far as we know, are not included on the ban list, do not contain any added substances included on the ban list, nor do we produce any other products in the factory that contain prohibited substances, it is safe for athletes to consume our products.

There are several companies selling different formulations of flavonoid products and you may be wondering what criteria you should use to choose between them. What are the differences between the products?
Often you read the phrase "made using gentle processing method" in company brochures. What technology might this term refer to? It’s important to pay attention to this term, because the way fruits are processed has a significant impact on the nutritional content of the product.
We have compiled a list of factors that make a big difference between the products. We have done so to help you to better understand the topic and be able to choose the right product.

1. Production technology: If the product is in a jar, it’s already a suspicious sign. If you hear a “clicking" sound when the cap is unscrewed, the product was treated using mild heat treatment, meaning a heat treatment of 80 to 90 °C (pasteurization). Its purpose is to kill microorganisms and deactivate the enzymes in the plant (to inhibit their activity as enzymes – in effect killing them), which will ensure the shelf life of the product. In most cases, these products are post-vitaminized, since heat treatment also destroys heat-sensitive bioactive substances, vitamins such as vitamin C, which means that they cannot exert a positive physiological effect after consumption. To compensate for this, other companies add synthetic vitamins and minerals in order to increase the nutritional value of the product.
   InnoFit products are made using vacuum technology and by gentle process, we mean a compression at a low temperature (+6 degrees Celsius for Topform and Child). The purpose of this method of processing is that almost 100 % of the active substances in the fruits and vegetables are safe from damage during processing. Therefore they do not contain added vitamins, minerals, or trace elements.
2. What are products made from: fruit concentrate or fruit pulp? In the case of products made of fruit pulp, the water content of the fruit is often not or only partially extracted. In this case, in order to bind water, water-thickening and gelling agents, stabilizers and emulsifiers are added (e.g. apple pectin, carrageenan, guar gum, gum arabic, xanthan gum, alginic acid). If you read the product ingredients, you can definitely verify that. As this will not result in a high content of natural active substances in the product, to compensate for this, other companies add synthetic vitamins and minerals in order to increase the content value of the product.
   When manufacturing InnoFit products, no thickeners, gelling agents, stabilizers and emulsifiers are used. The products are actually concentrated by extracting water, so the resulting fruit and vegetable concentrate can have multiple times the nutritional value compared to other products.
3. What berries does the recipe include? On the one hand, when purchasing the fruit there can be huge differences in the price of ingredients (e.g. in case of a product based on grapes, which is significantly cheaper than blueberries, blackthorns, blackberries, etc.), on the other hand, it is important to know whether the recipe making was preceded by research on the nutritional value and physiological effects of the ingredients and whether the expensive ingredients can also be found in the product, where needed.
   InnoFit products are backed by many years of serious plant research. The formulation for Topform and Child was preceded by a patent based on antioxidant research that ensures the uniqueness of the recipe and the synergistic triggering of the complex action mechanisms of the body. The Topform product contains 6 major antioxidant groups in one. Similar products contain only 1 or 2 antioxidant groups.
