“Work” in what sense. They seem to contain certain minerals and vitamines. What do you think might be false about that?
What do you think the false advertising would be? They’re tablets that contain magnesium and a few vitamins (in amounts probably specified on the back). If they “work” depends on what you want them to do, I guess.
Totally works. Great for a hangover.
I don’t trust those, I’d rather eat a piece of fruit.
By work I mean do they actually have the nutrition and vitamin said in the label
It’s exactly what’s written on the label.
The thing is – if you’re truly lacking vitamins and minerals, you need to take like 10 of them daily, if not more, to supplement correctly.
And that often isn’t the best thing to do, you’ll most likely get stomach aches and diarrhea from the amount of the other stuff in there.
Most likely your doctor prescribed vitamins et al at a higher dosage and better resorption quality than is available in these toys.
If you are after a semi-tasty snack drink with some vitamins thrown in, these “pills” are for you.
If you have a severe vitamin (insert A-Z here) deficiency, the stuff you took a photograph of is not going to make a difference.
In cases where Krankenkasse does not cover the expense, look carefully at why it isn’t covered. A lot of the offered vitamin supplements are lifestyle foods without clear evidence for curing anything. Then you have to weigh belief with costs and decide accordingly.
They are effective only if you lack some vitamins, otherwise they are useless.
If you lack vitamins, you will notice it – as with scurvy, which makes your hair and teeth fall out. Taking supplements without a known deficiency is not beneficial, and might even be harmful; in any case, it is harmful to your budget.
Supplemental magnesium has done wonders on my restless leg syndrome.
Bio availability of the magnesium used is low. Magnesium Citrate is much better.
Germany isn’t allowed to lie like America on food and drinks they actually Take pride in Stuff here
Mostly placebo, you’d have to visit a doctor and do tests to see which vitamins you’re lacking and how much of them you need to take daily.
it has very little vitamin. for example vitamin C is prescribed 1000mg for adults usually, but vitamin C tablets from dm or rossmann has around 200mg dose. You can get higher dose tablet also in the apotheke but those are also in much higher price. 1 package of vitamin C tablets costs 0,45€ in rossmann, 1 package of vitamin C from apotheke costs 4,50€.
It bubbles and makes the water taste funny. So yeah, it works Ü
I wouldn‘t expect too much from it but there‘s minerals and vitamins in there.
Of course getting Vitamins through vegetables is always better but those work as well
Depends on what “working” means for you.
If you mean “it gives you a certain amount of the ingredients and everything else goes out with your pee” then yes, it works.
I prefer the one with vitamin C, it’s like drinking a fizzy drink, but it’s not too sugary, just right. This one is probably tasty too. They are useful for vitamins, but I simply enjoy them as tasty unusual drinks (since there is nothing that tastes like them among common products). Of course, strictly according to dosage (I usually had 1 pill in 0.5L cup of water once a day). Should probably buy another one now that I’ve been out of it for a bit. Tasty af.
Well it makes no claims to do anything, so it totally works by that definition. also check r/supplements
Add to my water before training.
BUT, it’s very easy to have more than 1 per day, especially if you get Magnesium,calcium,multvit,Bcomplexes….and trust me, it will play havoc with your bowels.
I’m talking rusty water. Take only 1 or 2 per day.

Check the doses and bioavailability of the exact ingredients. E.g. magnesium: https://examine.com/supplements/magnesium/research/#forms-of-magnesium-supplementation
