How much is in a VH Life sachet?
The box names green tea leaf extract, standardised to at least 95% polyphenols in the superfoods complex. The box prints amounts for its 26 vitamins and minerals; the botanicals, mushrooms, amino acids, enzymes and live cultures are named without individual amounts, so we do not give one here.
What may VH Life claim for it?
Nothing. In Great Britain a food may only make health claims that are on the GB register, worded as registered. The register holds no authorised claim for this ingredient, so VH Life makes no claim for it and will not describe it as doing anything. Any benefit you may have read about it elsewhere is not something a UK supplement may lawfully say.
Anything to know before taking it?
The box says: if you take anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines, consult your doctor before using this product.
