Reta3, one capsule a day

In short

What Reta3 is

Reta3 is a food supplement in capsule form, sold direct rather than through shops. One capsule a day, six ingredients named on the checkout, and a 60-day money-back guarantee on every order.

It is written a few different ways — Reta3, Reta 3, Reta-3 — and they all point at the same carton.

It belongs on the weight-management shelf of the supplement market, which means it is taken alongside your own eating and your own routine rather than in place of either. It is a food supplement, not a medicine and not a prescription treatment.

That is the whole of it: one capsule, two large glasses of water, and one of the two meals you were going to eat anyway.

In the capsule

What each of the six is

The label names six on its own checkout, and those six are what we name here. No amounts are published for any of them, so we print none.

Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae. It is grown in water, dried and milled to a deep green powder, and it has been sold as both a food and a supplement for decades.

Matcha

Matcha is powdered green tea: the whole leaf ground fine, rather than leaves steeped and then thrown away. The same matcha you would meet in a tea bowl, here in a capsule instead of a cup.

L-carnitine

L-carnitine is an amino acid. The body makes its own, and it turns up in everyday food as well — red meat and dairy carry the most of it. On a supplement label it is one of the familiar names.

L-arginine

L-arginine is the second amino acid of the six. It occurs naturally in protein foods such as nuts, seeds, fish and poultry, and it has been a fixture of the supplement shelf for years.

Apple cider vinegar extract

Apple cider vinegar is pressed apple juice, fermented twice, with a traditional-use history that runs back centuries in kitchens and pantries. The extract is that vinegar in dried form, which is how it fits into a capsule you swallow rather than a spoonful you taste.

Zinc

Zinc is an essential mineral: the body cannot make it, so it has to come in from outside. It is also the one of the six with authorised EU health claims behind it — zinc contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, normal cognitive function and the normal function of the immune system. Those claims are about normal body function, not about weight loss.

The routine

Taking it, step by step

Three lines, and you have the whole instruction.

One capsule, swallowed whole

One a day, swallowed whole. There is no loading week and no second dose later on, and do not exceed the one.

Two large glasses of water

The water is part of the instruction rather than an afterthought: two large glasses, not a sip. If capsules are awkward to swallow, this one can be opened and the contents stirred into water instead.

Before or with lunch or dinner

Take it 15 to 30 minutes before, or with, lunch or dinner. Two meals to choose from, so pin it to whichever of them is the more reliable one in your day and the habit runs itself.

The box, in four lines:

• Format — a swallowable capsule. Nothing to weigh, mix or shake.
• Pack size — 30 capsules to a carton, which is a 30-day supply.
• Dose — one capsule a day, with two large glasses of water.
• Taste — none to speak of: it goes down whole with the water.

Day to day

Why it fits a normal week

One decision, once a day

The whole commitment is a single capsule attached to a meal you were eating anyway. That is why a supplement like this survives a busy week when a plan with steps in it does not.

Nothing has to change around it

You are not asked to weigh portions, cut out a food group or buy a second product to go with it. Your own eating and your own routine stay exactly where they are.

It travels

A carton of 30 goes in a wash bag or a desk drawer. No fridge, no shaker, no measuring spoon, and nothing that has to be prepared before you leave the house.

Sixty days to make your mind up

Every order carries the 60-day money-back guarantee stated on the checkout. That is two full months to take it daily and decide for yourself, instead of deciding in advance.

Capsules and packs

How many capsules, and how long they last

A carton holds 30 capsules. At one a day that is a month, which is why the packs are sold as 30, 60 and 90 days rather than by capsule count.

One carton is £59.95. Two are £82.95 and arrive with free delivery. Three are £109.95, delivered free as well — 90 capsules, and £36.65 a pack, which is the lowest per-pack figure on the page.

The three-pack is also the only one that covers a full 90 days without stopping to reorder halfway through, which is the practical argument for it.

Good to know

Before you order

Reta3 is a food supplement, not a medicine and not a prescription treatment. It is not recommended for under-18s or while pregnant or breastfeeding, and you should speak to your doctor first if you take medication or have a medical condition.

You order at checkout. The 60-day money-back guarantee is stated there, so read its terms when you order — what goes back, in what condition, and where.
