FAQ

Is Alvityl a drug?

No. Alvityl is a food supplement which contributes to both well-being and fitness of the body. Drugs, on the other hand, cure diseases.

Can the intake of Alvityl lead to a hypervitaminose?

No, Alvityl is formulated according to the RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances). It meets 100% of the daily required vitamins, and does not exceed it.

What defines RDA and what is the difference with the RNI?

The RDA (Recommended Daily Allowances) are the reference values for nutrition labelling which are decided at a European level. RDA have been chosen as an average which corresponds approximately to the population needs. They enable each individual to have appropriate intakes, decreasing the risks of deficiencies. Besides RDA, there is the RNI: Reference Nutrient Intakes. They take into account age, sex, special conditions (pregnant and breastfeeding women, seniors). Let’s take the example of iron:

	RDA	RNI – children from 4 to 6 year-old	RNI – Adult men	RNI – Adult women	RNI – Menopausal women
Iron quantity (in mg)	14	7	9	16	9

The RDA are easier to use as they suit an ‘average’ person while RNI are much more specific.

Is there a prolonged effect if we have several intakes a day versus one intake ?

The action of vitamins and minerals has no immediate effect. They are absorbed in the digestive tube, often transformed into active components and then stored (liver, reins, brain, bones, etc) to be redistributed to the different targeted organs according to their needs. This is the reason why deficiencies are not obvious the day you stop consuming an element: your body will use all its stored vitamins before showing any sign of deficiencies. The delay depends on the amount of vitamins and minerals your body has. It is essential to have a daily and continuous intake, in order to maintain the optimal level of vitamins and we should increase the intake when the need arises.
