Enhanced Rhodiola Complex 30 capsules (Rhododendron Complex with adaptogens)

ETHICAL DIETARY SUPPLEMENT

What does it even mean – an ethical dietary supplement? This means that Viridian supplements are made exclusively from high-quality ingredients and you will find absolutely no ballast additives in them. They also come from organic farming and are not tested on animals. It is also important that the Viridian brand is family-owned and not part of any pharmaceutical or other corporation. Viridian is committed to an ethical approach to customers and business partners, and always strives to ensure the environmental friendliness of its products.

All ingredients are 100% bioactive

It may sound like an obvious thing. But the truth is that many commonly available products contain largely synthetic ingredients, with a high proportion of ballast additives, stabilizers, binders, and artificial sweeteners. 

Supporting local growers

One of Viridian's key principles is to support local farmers and local raw material producers (not multinational corporations), with whom it has very fair and honest relationships. Viridian thus guarantees the quality of its supplements because it has an overview of the entire production process - literally from seed to final product, while also fulfilling its philosophy of ethical vitamins.

Natural and functional form of vitamins usable by the body

Do they have vitamins and minerals in some form? And why shouldn't they all be equally useful for the body? That's right. We can show this with iron, one of the most essential minerals. In common supplements, it is found, for example, in the form of oxide. This form is of little use to the body, and the reason it is used in common supplements is again its low price. For example, Viridian uses a direct extract from the leaves of the Murraya koenigii plant in its Liquid Iron supplement, which provides iron in 100% natural form.

Only vegetable capsules, no tablets

Tablets with binders are cheaper than capsules, but they contain a high proportion of ballast binders and adhesives, which can make up to 70% of the tablet. If you take dietary supplements in tablets, you can consume up to a kilogram of adhesives and other ballast in a year.

And be careful – many capsules also contain magnesium stearate, which is added to them to prevent the capsule from sticking to the production line. Viridian capsules are made exclusively from natural ingredients.

No GMO ingredients

Genetically modified crops are unnatural. They are created primarily with the aim of increasing yield and are a product of the agrochemical industry. You will never find any GMO ingredients in Viridian products.

No irradiated components

Food irradiation is carried out using ionizing radiation (alpha, beta, gamma, X-rays, etc.) - i.e. radioactive radiation to deactivate the enzymes and living biocultures contained in the food, which extends its shelf life. 

Without animal ingredients

Animal ingredients may not always be harmful, but Viridian tries to make as many of its products as possible suitable for vegans.

No artificial sweeteners

Artificial sweeteners are supposed to be a more suitable alternative to sugar, but in reality they are artificial (synthetic) molecular combinations that are unnatural for our bodies and the environment. Why consume something that does not belong in our body and environment?

Without artificial colors and preservatives

No artificial colors, no preservatives. You won't find these or any other artificial additives in Viridian products.

Free of magnesium stearate, titanium dioxide and shellac

Titanium dioxide, or titanium white, is used as a colorant. You can find it in many pharmaceutical products, common dietary supplements, industrially processed foods, on tennis courts, where white lines are formed around the court, and also on the Saturn V rocket, where it helped as an exterior coating. Magnesium stearate is used as a lubricant - it prevents capsules from seizing on the production line. In combination with water and soap, it forms an insoluble substance, which forms, for example, typical non-removable rings on bathtubs. Shellac is a resin secreted by the female lacquer worm, an insect living in India. Sheets of this resin dissolve in ethyl alcohol to form liquid shellac, which is used as a varnish and glaze. These substances are commonly used in dietary supplements, medicines, and foods. You won't find them in Viridian supplements.

Ecological bottles

Viridian uses amber glass bottles that protect the contents from light and heat. At the same time, they can be recycled or reused. They can also be returned to our stores in exchange for a discount on your next purchase. The cap on the bottles is made of recyclable aluminum and the seal on the cap is made of cornstarch – Viridian uses no plastic.

No palm fat

Viridian is the first brand in the world to be certified by POFCAP – The Palm Oil Free Accreditation Programme. This guarantees that the brand does not use palm oil in its products or during production.
