Choosing a Vyxion formula: drops, capsules or gummies

Four lines, one serving a day

We have 10 products on sale, and they fall into four lines. Every label in the range asks for one serving a day.

So you are not choosing a strength. You are choosing what the formula is built around, what form you like to take, and what a day of it costs.

Start with the line, not the bottle. Each line has one job in our range.

Prefer to start from the form? See all liquid drops or all capsules and gummies. The formula finder starts from what you want from a routine.

Every label is written for adults. If you are pregnant or nursing, take medication or have a medical condition, talk to a doctor first.

Drops, capsules or gummies

Form decides whether you still take the bottle in week three. Think about four things: taste, swallowing, how much freedom you want over the serving, and where the bottle travels.

Dietary supplements come in a variety of forms, including tablets, capsules, gummies, and powders as well as drinks and energy bars.

Taste

Drops have a taste, and capsules do not. Our soursop drops are herbal and bitter, and the fruit flavors soften that without hiding it. A capsule goes down with water and leaves nothing on the tongue.

Swallowing

If you dislike swallowing capsules, look at the liquids and the gummy. The magnesium gummy is a mixed berry chew, and one a day is the whole serving. The capsule formulas ask for two capsules a day.

Capsule size isn't too big, so most people should have no trouble swallowing.

Freedom over the serving

A dropper lets you measure. The drops label says to draw up to 2 ml, and the glass is marked to 1.0 ml, so you see what you take. A capsule or a gummy is fixed: the serving is the count on the label, and you cannot split it cleanly.

Measuring has a cost. You need a steady hand and a full squeeze, and one buyer of the tincture found the dropper slow.

But the dropper will only draw up .5 ml each squeeze

If the dropper fills halfway, count by the marks on the glass, not by the squeezes.

Travel and the kitchen shelf

A dropper bottle holds 2 fl oz. The soursop liquid is dark green from chlorophyll and can stain, so pack it upright and capped tight. Capsules and gummies ask for nothing more than a closed lid and a dry bag.

The same herb family comes both ways in our soursop line, and the two panels differ. For the liquid, see what is in the Soursop Bitters bottle.

Which Vyxion formula costs the least per day?

Magnesium Complex Gummies: about $0.17 a day, at $9.99 for 60 servings. The most a day of Vyxion costs is about $1.53, for Soursop Bitters and Rhodiola Pair and Soursop Bitters Drops and Capsules Bundle.

The arithmetic is the same for every bottle. Divide the price by the servings on the label. Each label asks for one serving a day, so the servings are also the days.

Where two prices are shown, the product comes in more than one flavor or pack.

A low price per day does not make two formulas equal. The two magnesium panels carry different amounts on every line: see capsules against gummies, panel by panel. Compare the cost only after you know which panel you want.

What does a month of two or three Vyxion formulas cost?

About $0.50 a day for 2 formulas and about $1.13 a day for 3, at one serving of each. The least expensive pair from two lines is the saffron capsules and magnesium gummies, and those two share six panel lines.

You buy whole bottles and jars, so the last price column is one container of each formula. The magnesium capsules and the magnesium gummies hold more than 30 servings, so those containers last past the first month.

Check the shared lines before the price. The least expensive pair with no shared line is the magnesium gummies and NMN capsules, at about $0.80 a day. No set of three is free of a shared line.

Budget by the bottle you finish. The pack of two Original bottles costs $45.99, against $53.98 for two single Original bottles.

The price at checkout is the one you pay.

Ingredients that sit on more than one panel

Our formulas were built one at a time, and several of them reach for the same plants and the same vitamins. Vitamin D is on six of the seven panels. That matters the day you put two bottles on the same shelf: two formulas can add up to more of one ingredient than either label shows.

Vitamins and minerals

Look at vitamin D first: six panels print it, and the amounts differ a great deal. If you plan to combine two of those formulas, write the two amounts down and show the sum to a doctor or pharmacist before you start.

The magnesium lines do not add up as neatly. Three labels give the weight of a magnesium complex or blend, and that is the weight of the compounds, not of the magnesium in them.

Herbs

Where an herb sits in a blend, the label gives the weight of the whole blend and no figure for the herb. You cannot add those up. You can only know that the herb is there twice.

Take the list of what you already use, from any brand, when you ask a doctor or pharmacist.

Tell your health care providers (including doctors, dentists, pharmacists, and dietitians) about any dietary supplements you’re taking.

Which Vyxion formula shares the least with the others?

NMN Complex Capsules. It shares 1 panel ingredient, black pepper, with 1 other formula: the saffron capsules.

At the other end, the saffron capsules share 12. A low count makes a formula easy to pair.

Two products in the range are pairs by design. The drops and capsules bundle puts two soursop formulas in one order, and they share vitamin D, vitamin C, ashwagandha, turmeric, chlorophyll, soursop, sea moss, black seed and moringa. Read both panels before you take them on the same day.

How to read a proprietary blend

Six of our seven panels carry a blend: a group of ingredients printed under one name with one weight. The rule that allows this comes from the FDA.

The Supplement Facts panel must list the serving size and number of servings per container, declare each dietary ingredient in the product, and except for dietary ingredients that are part of a proprietary blend, provide information on the amount of the dietary ingredient per serving.

So a blend line tells you two things. It names every ingredient in the blend, and it gives the weight of all of them together. It does not tell you how much of any one herb you get.

What a blend can and cannot tell you

• It can tell you whether an ingredient is present. Check the names if you avoid one. The blend in our soursop capsules names senna and goat weed, for example.
• It cannot tell you an amount per herb. If you want a stated amount of one plant, look for a panel line that prints it alone.
• It gives you a ceiling. No single ingredient in a blend can weigh more than the blend.

Rhodiola tincture or saffron capsules

Both belong to our Calm & Focus line, and the label wording is close. We make the rhodiola tincture to support a balanced mood, calm and focus. We make the saffron capsules to support mood balance and emotional well-being.

The panels are built the opposite way. The tincture puts rhodiola first inside a large blend and adds saffron to it. The capsules print saffron alone with its own amount and put rhodiola inside a smaller blend.

Choose the tincture if you want a liquid and a formula without St. John's wort. The bottle says alcohol-free, and the label lists potassium sorbate and sodium benzoate as preservatives.

Choose the capsules if you want no taste and a printed saffron amount. The two panels share magnesium, zinc, vitamin D, rhodiola, saffron and lemon balm, so read both before you take them on the same day.

The saffron blend contains St. John's wort, and the label gives no amount for it. It can change how many medicines work, so check with a doctor or pharmacist before the first capsule.

Although it is important to tell your health care providers about any complementary health approaches you use, this is especially crucial for St. John’s wort because this herb interacts with so many medicines.

How many Vyxion formulas should you start with?

Start with 1. Take one formula, such as Soursop Bitters Liquid Drops, for its full 30 servings before you add a second bottle.

The reason is simple. With one new formula you know what you are taking and how it sits with you. With three new bottles at once you cannot tell which one to keep.

1. Pick the line by what you want the formula to support, then pick the form you can keep up every day.

2. Read the whole panel and the warning under it. If you take a medicine, are pregnant or nursing, or have a medical condition, show the panel to a doctor or pharmacist first.

3. Take one serving a day, as the label says, and finish the bottle. Do not double a serving to catch up on a missed day.

4. Write down the name, the serving and the date you started.

5. Before a second formula joins, check the two panels for shared lines and ask about the totals.

Keep a complete record of any dietary supplements and medicines you take.

A note on your phone is enough. It turns a vague question at the pharmacy counter into a precise one.

What buyers say across the range

Buyers across our formulas agree on the practical side: the liquids are easy to take and the capsules are easy to swallow. They split on whether they noticed anything.

Great flavor. Bottle finished. Didn't notice anything different in terms of health

Buyers of the tincture write about how easy it is to take.

Easy to use, doesn’t taste bad, it’s one of those I feel like it’s good for me but nothing mind blowing on results so far.

One buyer of the saffron capsules doubted that a formula with many ingredients could match a single herb, and said so.

I tried it for a few weeks and didn't notice any difference.

If one herb is what you are after, check whether the panel prints its amount or folds it into a blend.
