New capsules for Sincera, NoPlaque and Original Silica

After almost 25 years we decided to improve some of our products. Especially we changed the shape of three of them: Sincera, NoPlaque and Original Silica. Actually we haven't changed the formulations as they are very effective, but just we put the same ingredients in capsules instead of in tablets. We did it because in this way the compounds effectiveness and bioavailabity will improve. That means that our body will be able to absorb the natural ingredients content in a easier a better way. We also insert the blisters in a new fashion box thinner and easier to ship. Here below there is a deeper explanation of the change we made, just to show to all our regular customers and the new ones the quality of our work.
