Made, tested and dosed with precision

aioss is produced in Scandinavia, in a facility certified to FSSC 22000. It's an internationally recognized food safety standard, covering everything from hygiene and cleaning to how each step of production is documented and controlled.

The certification isn't a one-time stamp. It means the facility is audited by an independent certification body, including unannounced audits.

Every batch of aioss is tested by an independent third-party laboratory for heavy metals and other contaminants. Not a sample now and then, and not only when something seems off. Every batch, every time.

We also check every batch ourselves when it arrives at our warehouse, before it goes into stock, to make sure everything is as it should be.

When you compare supplements on quality, it's worth reading the form as well as the number. Many vitamins and minerals come in several forms, and we've chosen ours deliberately. A few examples:

• Vitamin A as retinyl acetate. Vitamin A comes either preformed or as beta-carotene, which the body then converts into vitamin A. The conversion rate varies from person to person. Instead, we use retinyl acetate, a preformed vitamin A, so the amount on the label is the amount of vitamin A in your scoop.
• Folate and vitamin B12 in methylated forms, and vitamin B6 as P5P. Folate is included as 5-MTHF and vitamin B12 as methylcobalamin. Together with P5P, these are the forms the three vitamins take when the body puts them to work.
• Vitamin E as mixed natural tocopherols. Vitamin E isn't a single compound. In food, it comes as a family of tocopherols: alpha, beta, gamma and delta. Many supplements contain only alpha-tocopherol. We use mixed tocopherols, closer to how vitamin E occurs in food.
• Magnesium as magnesium citrate. A water-soluble form of magnesium that is well absorbed and suits a daily habit.
• Choline as choline bitartrate. Choline doesn't have a labeling reference value yet, which is why it shows no percentage on the label. The newest Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR 2023) include choline for the first time, with an adequate intake of 400 mg a day for adults. We didn't wait for the label rules to catch up, so it's already in aioss.
• Beyond vitamins and minerals. The same care goes into the rest of the scoop. Our good bacteria are specific, named strains: Lactobacillus rhamnosus LR111 and Bacillus coagulans BC301. Our plant and mushroom extracts are standardized to the compounds we include them for: lion's mane for beta-glucans, ginger for gingerols, and pomegranate for ellagic acid. That way, each batch contains the same defined ingredient.

What we leave out matters too. aioss contains no artificial sweeteners, flavorings or colors.

Next to each vitamin and mineral on a supplement label, you'll see a percentage. It shows how much of that nutrient a daily dose contains, compared with a reference value.

Those reference values are set in labeling rules, with one value per nutrient, so that every product is labeled the same way. Other nutrition recommendations, such as the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations, are set separately, and for some nutrients the numbers differ.

So a percentage above 100% simply means the dose is higher than the labeling reference. A few nutrients in aioss sit noticeably higher than the rest. Here's why.

• Vitamin B12: 50 µg (2000%). B12 is one of the hardest nutrients to set a recommendation for. The labeling reference is 2.5 µg, while the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations (NNR 2023) set 4 µg a day for adults, and the research behind them notes that uptake varies substantially from person to person. Uptake also depends on the dose: the body takes up B12 through a pathway that can only handle a small amount at a time, and above that, only a small share is absorbed. That's also why B12 in supplements commonly sits well above 100% on the label. Since aioss is taken as one daily dose, we chose 50 µg.
• Vitamin C: 500 mg (625%). The recommended intake for vitamin C is set to secure an adequate level in the body for most people. But several factors raise how much vitamin C the body uses, such as smoking, a higher body weight, a high level of physical activity, and more. The main sources of vitamin C are vegetables, berries and fruit, and statistically only a few of us reach the recommendations, so we've chosen 500 mg with all of that in mind.

Every ingredient in aioss, and the amount of each, is listed on the label and in our supplement facts. Nothing is hidden behind a blend name, so you can see exactly what's in your scoop.
