Dr. Schiffmann's VertiBalance

Holistic support for cell protection, circulation, and overall well-being Our SpikeFORTE with an improved formula combines three highly effective ingredients – Curcumin, Astaxanthin, and high-dose Nattokinase with 5,000 FU per capsule – complemented by Piperine for enhanced bioavailability. This powerful blend is designed to help protect the body from oxidative stress, support healthy blood circulation, and promote overall wellness. Especially noteworthy: Studies suggest that these active ingredients may not only help reduce inflammation in the body, but are also being researched for their potential role in naturally supporting the treatment of atherosclerosis. There is also evidence indicating a possible contribution to natural blood thinning. Effects Curcumin – natural support against oxidative stress Curcumin is the main bioactive component of turmeric (Curcuma longa). Studies report reductions in inflammatory markers such as CRP and IL-6, as well as a positive impact on vascular function. In this context, Curcumin may help reduce inflammation in the body and address factors relevant to the concept of naturally treating atherosclerosis. Reduce inflammation in the body through antioxidant and regulatory effects on inflammatory markers [1][2]. Vascular health and endothelial function are supported [3]. Synergy with piperine for significantly improved bioavailability [4]. Nattokinase – an enzymatic tradition from Japan In SpikeFORTE with an improved formula, we use high-dose Nattokinase with 5,000 FU per capsule, obtained through fermentation of soybeans (Natto) – a centuries-old tradition in Japan. Research shows properties that may help maintain healthy blood flow. On this basis, Nattokinase is often discussed in the context of natural blood thinning. Natural blood thinning through fibrinolytic activity and effects on coagulation markers [3][5]. Vascular health and mild blood pressure support in controlled studies [6]. Astaxanthin – a powerful antioxidant from microalgae Astaxanthin is a red carotenoid derived from Haematococcus pluvialis. It protects cell membranes from oxidative stress and supports skin and eye health. These effects are relevant when addressing risks associated with the concept of naturally treating atherosclerosis and reducing inflammation in the body. Cell protection and reduction of oxidative markers in human studies [7]. Skin elasticity, moisture, and protection against UV-induced stress [8]. Vascular-relevant markers, such as inhibition of LDL oxidation, are positively influenced [7]. Piperine – the absorption catalyst Piperine from black pepper enhances the absorption of hard-to-absorb substances. In human studies, the bioavailability of curcumin increases significantly. This boosts the overall effect of the formula, especially when it comes to reducing inflammation in the body and supporting vascular-related processes [4]. Why this combination? Curcumin + Astaxanthin for comprehensive antioxidant protection and support of regulated inflammatory processes. Nattokinase for its contribution to natural blood thinning and healthy blood flow properties. Piperine enhances bioavailability, making the formula’s synergies more effective. The result is a balanced formula that protects cells, supports circulation, and helps reduce inflammation in the body.

Ear noise can significantly affect daily life—it disrupts concentration, drains energy, and reduces overall well-being. Older people are often affected, but younger individuals may also face similar challenges due to stress or noisy environments. TinnitusGuard for ear noise addresses this directly, offering natural support for greater calm and balance in everyday life. The carefully composed formula may help TinnitusGuard relieve tinnitus, support mental performance, and positively influence TinnitusGuard mood & memory. This makes the product suitable both for older adults who want to maintain concentration and well-being, as well as for younger people seeking extra support in a hectic daily routine. EFFECTS Ginkgo – natural support for circulation and mental clarity Ginkgo is one of the oldest medicinal plants in the world and has been valued for centuries for its effects on the brain and nerves. Its greatest strength lies in promoting microcirculation, the fine blood flow in the smallest blood vessels. Especially in the inner ear and brain, improved circulation can help ensure that sensory cells are optimally supplied. In addition, Ginkgo supports mental performance. Many people use it to promote memory, concentration, and alertness. This makes it a key component when it comes to helping TinnitusGuard relieve tinnitus while also maintaining mental clarity. SAMe – neurotransmitters for emotional balanceSAMe (S-adenosylmethionine) is a substance produced naturally by the body and plays a key role in countless metabolic processes. Most importantly, SAMe is involved in the formation of neurotransmitters—the chemical messengers that regulate our mood, drive, and emotional balance. When ear noise affects daily life, many people also struggle with stress, irritability, or low mood. SAMe may help support the production of “happiness hormones” such as serotonin and dopamine, thereby promoting emotional well-being. In this way, SAMe makes an important contribution to TinnitusGuard mood & memory. Calcium – nutrient for nerve communication Calcium is much more than just a mineral for strong bones. One of its most important roles is in the nervous system, where it regulates signal transmission between cells. Without calcium, nerve impulses could not be properly relayed. For people who are sensitive to stimuli—as is often the case with ear noise—stable nerve communication is essential. Calcium supports this process and helps nerves and muscles function smoothly. In this way, calcium complements the effects of Ginkgo and SAMe, making TinnitusGuard for ear noise a holistic combination. Vitamin D3 – the sunshine vitamin for body and mind Vitamin D3 is better known as the sunshine vitamin, since it is mainly produced in the body through sunlight. However, in our latitudes, many people are deficient. Yet vitamin D is not only important for bones and muscles, but also for the immune system and mental strength. Studies show that balanced vitamin D levels can help stabilize mood and support overall well-being. This makes vitamin D3 a valuable addition in TinnitusGuard: it strengthens both body and mind, rounding out the formula perfectly. More inner calm with TinnitusGuard With its thoughtful combination of Ginkgo, SAMe, calcium, and vitamin D3, TinnitusGuard brings together plant power, minerals, and vitamins in a unique approach. Ginkgo supports circulation and mental performance. SAMe promotes emotional balance and mental well-being. Calcium supports healthy signal transmission in the nervous system. Vitamin D3 strengthens the immune system and mood. TinnitusGuard – natural support against ear noise, for more calm in the head and better memory.

Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid derived from the micro-alga Haematococcus pluvialis. The alga produces Astaxanthin to shield itself from harsh conditions such as intense UV light or drought. In the wild, this pigment is what tints salmon, shellfish and flamingos a vivid red. We work exclusively with natural Astaxanthin that retains the full carotenoid spectrum and contains zero synthetic additives. Production is sustainable and tightly controlled, ensuring purity and quality exactly as nature intended. EFFECTS Eyes Astaxanthin supports eye health on several fronts. It can protect retinal and lens cells from oxidative stress, a major factor in age-related eye conditions like macular degeneration and cataracts. may help prevent drusen formation in the retina improved visual acuity in age-related macular degeneration (CARMIS study, 2012) shields lens cells from free radicals and slows cataract development Astaxanthin also enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to the eye—crucial for long-term ocular health. Natural antioxidant Astaxanthin ranks among the most powerful natural antioxidants known. Its activity surpasses that of: vitamin C by up to 6 000 times coenzyme Q10 by up to 800 times vitamin E by up to 550 times Unlike synthetically produced compounds, Astaxanthin comes from a plant-based source, making it highly tolerable. It reliably protects cells from free-radical damage triggered by UV light, pollution or stress. Skin health Astaxanthin supports the skin from within—no chemical additives required. Its antioxidant power reduces UV-induced cell damage and helps slow premature ageing.
