30 ingredients,

carefully chosen for more energy & wellness

Artichocke*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: The thistle-like strong crop has been known for its healthy qualities since ancient times. The plant’s antioxidant effect is basically attributed to its polyphenols and flavonoids – both phytochemicals with healthy qualities.
?
Celery*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: Celery belongs to the vegetables with a natural source of vitamin K. Moreover, the plant contains beta-carotine (provitamin A), which is a precursor of retinol (vitamin A) and is very important for humans as a phytochemical.
?
Coconut*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: Coconut oil from the tropical tree of the palm family contains particularly many medium-chain fatty acids, which can be made available quickly for energy production. This stimulates the metabolism.
??
Date*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: This oriental fruit contains a lot of fibres and minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium as well as the amino acid tryptophan. Dates are rich in carbohydrates and rank among the premium products for athletes.
?
Fig*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: The common fig belongs to the oldest medicinal plants and primarily originates from the Mediterranean where it sunbathes and thus produces many vital substances as, for example, digestive enzymes.
?
Ginger root*

Ginger contains approximately 500 substances. The mild spicy flavour of substanz® comes from the substance gingerol from ginger root. Studies show that other substances significantly promote the uptake of essential nutrients. Bioavailability (that is the actual uptake) of fed vital substances thus rises.
?
Ginseng root*

Along with its flavouring features in substanz®, Ginseng (Panax ginseng) has the positive side effect that active components from the root complement the natural energy drink substanz®.
?
Guaraná

High caffeine content distinguishes the cores of Guaraná. The caffeine in the energy drink substanz® increases the ability to concentrate and decreases mental fatigue.
?
Grapefruit*

As a part of the fruit mixture in substanz®, this bitter-tasting citrus fruit contains antioxidant substances, so-called radical catchers, as, for example, vitamin C that helps preventing oxidative stress and thus helps protecting the genetic material and the proteins.
?
Hibiscus*

The pure extract of tea in substanz® contains mallow as blossoms, which hold anthocyanins – a subgroup of flavonoids – that are responsible for the intense colouring. The water-soluble pigments’ function in the flora is to bind free radicals in the sap.
?
Isomaltulose

One component in the long-term energy complex of substanz® is the natural substance Isomaltulose, which has the positive side effect that it does not dissolve the teeth (other than conventional sugar types). Bacteria causing tooth decay cannot use it for acid formation.
?
Lemon*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: The fruit of the lemon tree contains a lot of vitamin C and citric acid. Both substances are natural ingredients of substanz® and have been added additively as magnesium citrate and as isolated citric acid.
Magnesium

Magnesium is an essential substance in the human organism. People who exercise a lot or are exposed to stress on a daily basis need sufficient supply. Magnesium helps the organism in decreasing signs of fatigue and contributes to a normal function of the nervous system and the muscles including the heart muscle. Cardiac arrhythmia due to deficiencies can thus be prevented. Magnesium is also included in substanz® in its natural form, that is from millet, walnut, and dates. One bottle of substanz® contains 80% of the daily recommended amount of magnesium.
??
Melissa*

Melissa, or lemon balm, in the pure extract of tea in substanz® traditionally has a relaxing effect on the nervous system and supports the stomach function.
?
Millet*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: Millet is a crop that is rich in minerals and has a high concentration of magnesium, iron, and potassium. Potassium is an essential mineral, which supports important bodily functions together with magnesium, e.g. the electric stabilisation of heart cells.
?
Onion*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: The onion is the medicinal plant of 2015. Its positive effects on humans are particularly attributed to the antioxidant sulphur compounds it contains.
?
Pea*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: The pea ranks among the most important protein suppliers of the cultured vegetables and is thus ideal for a vegetarian diet.
?
Peppermint*

The peppermint in the pure extract of tea in substanz® gives the drink a mildly spicy, fresh flavour due to its high content of menthol. Peppermint has been traditionally known as a medicinal herb and is often used at stomach aches and digestive problems.
?
Quince*

This fruit is closely related with apples and pears. As an ingredient in the substanz® fruit mixture it supports the flavour and is labelled as low-calorie. The quince contains a lot of the fibre pectin, which is indigestible for the human organism, and has a high soaking power. It can therefore bind harmful substances and defang them. Moreover, the quince is a great supplier of vitamin C.
?
Sea-buckthorn*

The sea buckthorn complements the healthy fruit mixture of substanz®. Interestingly, this fruit naturally contains a lot of vitamin B12 which otherwise can be found almost exclusively in animal products. Additionally, the “lemon of the North” contains phytochemicals serving as radical catchers and helping to prevent cellular damage.
?
Selenium

Selenium is another essential trace element that must be obtained by food. One important function of selenium is the support of the immune system to prevent oxidative stress. It also plays an important role in the normal functioning of the thyroid. One bottle of substanz® supplies you with 80% auf the recommended daily dose of selenium.
?
Soybean*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: Soya is a common crop that has a high protein level compared to other plants, which is very similar to the animal protein. Thus, the soya bean also contains a high concentration of essential amino acids like valine, leucine, and isoleucine, which are often used in the sports sector.
??
Sprout*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: These young plant branches contain a lot of vegetable protein, and the vitamins folic acid and pantothenic acid. Pantothenic acid is a precursor of the coenzyme A, which is also needed for the production of energy in the citric acid cycle.
?
Vitamin B1

Vitamin B1, or thiamine, is one of four B-vitamins substanz® has been enriched with. It supports the energy metabolism and the heart in their normal functions. One bottle of substanz® supplies you with 30% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin B1.
?
Vitamin B12

Vitamin B12, or cyanocobalamin, is another B-vitamin included in substanz® supporting the normal energy metabolism, the nervous system’s normal function and the normal function of the mental performance. One bottle of substanz® supplies you with 30% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin B12.
?
Vitamin B2

Vitamin B2, or riboflavin, also is a B vitamin that substanz® has been enriched with. It supports the normal energy metabolism and maintains normal vision, and helps preventing oxidative stress and protecting the cells. One bottle of substanz® supplies you with 30% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin B2.
?
Vitamin B6

The fourth B-vitamin that substanz® has been enriched with supports the normal energy metabolism, the production of red blood cells, and the regulation of hormone activity. One bottle of substanz® supplies you with 30% recommended daily dose of vitamin B6.
?
Vitamin C

Vitamin C, in the form of ascorbic acid, is a versatile substance in the substanz® formulation. Not least, it is an antioxidant and thus a natural preservative agent. Another important feature of this vitamin is the support of the immune system and cell protection by prevention of oxidative stress, e.g. after intense exercising. One bottle of substanz® supplies you with 80% of the recommended daily dose of vitamin C.
?
Walnut*

Fermented in Regulatpro® Bio: The walnut makes an important contribution to a balanced diet, as it is rich in monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids. It is also noteworthy that this plant genus has a high protein content including all essential and non-essential amino acids. Moreover, the walnut is a natural supplier of many vitamins and trace elements.
?
Other

Like all beverages, substanz® contains pure water as its main component. Additionally, citric acid has been added, which is the flora’s most common acid. Besides a flavouring component, natural flavouring provides substanz® with a refreshing scent.

substanz

substanz® combines energy & and health effects in one unique recipe.

Natural Vitalizer with long-term factor

Functional drink with health benefits

substanz® works naturally and long-term, but how? The inimitable energy-mix makes the difference.

Guaraná

The caffeine in the guaraná plant is tied to natural tanning agents that make up about 25% of the plant. This link decomposes the caffeine during digestion and hence increases the effective duration through longer caffeine release – one building block in the long-term complex of substanz®.

Isomaltulose

Isomaltulose is a functional sugar that is produced via enzymatic treatment from beet sugar. It is the only added sugar and makes up about half of the sugar content in substanz®. The other half is natural sugar from the fruits quince, grapefruit and sea-buckthorn.

Regulatpro® Bio

This functional ingredient is manufactured by a patented, biotechnological process consisting of a mix of 12 fruits, nuts and vegetables. In a complex process, the raw materials are fermented. Here, the different components of the 12 raw materials are broken down into smaller molecules resembling a kind of pre-digestion.

Ginseng root

Ginseng (Panax ginseng) adds a nice aroma and has the favourable side effect that active components in the root complement the energetic drink substanz®. AAFP Info (PDF)

The concept of substanz aims at the natural increase of energy levels in cells.

The human body demands energy for all processes. The molecule ATP (adenosine triphosphate) is the energy source in every cell of which the human body owns around 100 trillion. Therefore, energy in form of ATP is highly decentralised. The daily energy turnover, in form of the assembly and disassembly of ATP in the body, equals roughly the body mass of a person, for example 80 kg. A remarkable task every human needs to perform daily. Enzymes (before: ferments) support the process by lowering the activation energy – the energy to start a reaction – and hence limit the necessary energy input. The process of cascade fermentation™, used for the production of Regulatpro® Bio, takes those essential processes as an example to develop natural, supporting products with the same principle.
