Usage

Reserved for adults, except pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Standard dose: 1 stick per day in the morning.
Knead or malax the stick before opening to homogenise the contents.
The stick can be swallowed directly without water, or emptied into a spoon, yoghurt or compote before ingestion.
Recommended course: 1 box for 20 days.
The 20-day course can be renewed for up to 3 consecutive months if needed.
After 3 months of consecutive use, take a minimum break of 1 month before starting a new course.
Use as part of a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle; this food supplement is not a medicine.
To support the skin’s natural hydration, drink at least about 1.5 litres of water per day unless medically contraindicated.
Adhere to the recommended daily dose; do not exceed the stated dose.
Individuals under medical supervision or taking medication should seek advice from their doctor before use.

Contraindications

Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women.
Not suitable for children and adolescents; reserved for adults.
Individuals with known allergy or hypersensitivity to any of the ingredients (including collagen-derived peptides, crustacean-derived N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, aloe vera, pomegranate or any excipients) should not use this supplement.
People under medical supervision, taking chronic medication or with underlying diseases (e.g. severe kidney or liver disease, metabolic disorders) should seek medical advice before use.
Prolonged use is not recommended due to the presence of aloe vera; follow the manufacturer’s recommended cycles (up to 3 months followed by at least 1 month break).
Should not be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
Any additional contraindications or warnings specified on the current packaging or official NHCO Nutrition information should be followed.

Adverse Effects

Generally well tolerated when used at recommended doses in healthy adults.
Possible mild gastrointestinal discomfort (e.g. bloating, digestive upset, soft stools) in sensitive individuals, as can occur with many oral supplements.
Potential allergic reactions in people sensitive to any component, including collagen peptides, crustacean-derived N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, fruit extracts or excipients (signs may include rash, itching, swelling or digestive distress).
In case of any adverse reaction (e.g. persistent digestive symptoms, skin reactions, headache or other unusual complaints), stop use and seek medical advice.
As with other supplements containing aloe vera, prolonged or excessive use may theoretically increase the risk of digestive discomfort; manufacturer therefore advises against extended continuous use beyond the recommended 3 months without a break.
Any serious or unexpected adverse effects should be reported to a healthcare professional and to the national nutrivigilance system where applicable.

Storage Conditions

Store in a cool, dry place away from heat and humidity.
Keep the box and sticks away from direct sunlight and sources of heat.

Consume preferably before the date indicated on the packaging.
Do not use if individual sticks are damaged, swollen or leaking.
Avoid prolonged storage at high temperatures; respect any additional storage indications on the packaging.

Duration

Onset

Clinical and observational information from the brand indicates measurable reduction in wrinkle depth and visible skin-smoothing effects from around 4 weeks of daily use, with progressive improvement in firmness, elasticity and hydration over the course of supplementation.
