ORIGIN

The lesser periwinkle is an herbaceous plant with lovely blue-purple flowers that have inspired a great number of poets. It forms colourful flowery carpets in the under-woods of Europe. Well known for its beneficial effects on the human health, this plant was already recommended by Mme de Sévigné in the XVIIIth century.

Para Lesser periwinkle is a food supplement, not a drug. A dietary supplement cannot be used as a substitute for a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.

PRODUCTION METHOD

In order not to damage the active ingredients the hydro-alcoholic extracts underwent a gentle evaporation. It is this extract that we use to coat the vegetable microbeads. Half of these vegetable microbeads will be coated with a product that allows us to obtain a delayed released effect. With the use of this unique method your body absorbs 100% of the active ingredients (instead of only 20% to 30% with conventional capsules and tablets) and is active all day long.
