What is in Reta3

Six ingredients are listed on the Reta3 checkout: spirulina, matcha, L-carnitine, L-arginine, apple cider vinegar extract and zinc. Those six are what this page names, because those six are what is listed.

Between them they are an algae, a powdered tea leaf, two amino acids, a dried vinegar and an essential mineral. None of them is exotic and none of them is new to a supplement shelf, and each one is set out below on its own terms — what it is, where it comes from and how it ends up inside a capsule.

No amount is published for any of them, so no amount is printed here. Reta3 is a food supplement, not a medicine and not a prescription treatment.

One by one

The six, and what each one is

Six names, in the order the checkout lists them.

Spirulina

Spirulina is a blue-green algae. It is grown in water, harvested, dried and milled to a deep green powder, and it has been eaten as a food in its own right in several parts of the world for a very long time. In a capsule it is simply that powder, without the taste that puts people off it in a glass.

Matcha

Matcha is green tea in powdered form. Instead of steeping leaves and throwing them away, the whole leaf is ground fine, so what goes into the capsule is the leaf itself rather than an infusion of it. It is the same matcha you would meet in a tea bowl, measured into a capsule instead of whisked into hot water.

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. It is one of the longest-standing names on the supplement shelf, which is why it tends to read as familiar even to people who have never bought it on its own.

L-arginine

L-arginine is the second of the two amino acids. It occurs naturally in protein foods such as nuts, seeds, fish and poultry, and, like L-carnitine, it was sold as a single-ingredient supplement for years before it started appearing inside blends like this one.

Apple cider vinegar extract

Apple cider vinegar is pressed apple juice fermented twice — first to cider, then to vinegar — with a traditional-use history in kitchens and pantries that runs back centuries. 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 food or from a supplement. It is also the only one of the six with authorised EU health claims behind it, and those are set out in full in the next section.

Zinc

The authorised claim

Zinc contributes to normal macronutrient metabolism, to normal cognitive function and to the normal function of the immune system. Those are the authorised wordings, and they are the ones a food supplement is permitted to use.

Read them literally. They describe normal body function, and not one of them is a claim about weight. Reta3 is a food supplement, not a medicine and not a prescription treatment, and it is sold under the rules that apply to food rather than to medicines.

For the other five there is no authorised claim, and none is made for them.

Amounts

Why no quantities are printed

No quantity is published for any of the six, in milligrams or in any other unit. What is published is the list of names, and the list is what this page carries.

That answers the question most people ask next. There is no supplement-facts table on the label to reproduce, so the six names stand on their own.

Full label information sits with the product itself at the checkout, alongside each pack. It is worth two minutes before you order if the detail matters to you.

The format

One capsule, thirty to a carton

All six sit inside a single swallowable capsule. There is nothing to weigh, nothing to mix and no second product to take alongside it, which is the practical reason a once-a-day capsule survives a busy week when a plan with steps in it does not.

A carton holds 30 capsules — one month at the stated intake of one a day. That is why the packs on this page are described in months rather than by capsule count: one carton is 30 days, two are 60 and three are 90.

Taking it

One capsule a day

One capsule with two large glasses of water, 15 to 30 minutes before or with lunch or dinner. If capsules are difficult, it can be opened and the contents stirred into water.

Do not exceed one capsule a day. A food supplement is meant to sit alongside a varied and balanced diet rather than stand in for one, and the intake does not change over time — the same single capsule on the ninetieth day as on the first.

Good to know

Who it is not for

Reta3 is not recommended for under-18s, or while you are pregnant or breastfeeding. One side effect is listed: dry mouth, described as rare and affecting up to 1 in 1,000 users.

If you take prescription medication or have a medical condition, speak to your doctor or pharmacist before you start and show them the six ingredients listed above. That is the part they will want to see, and it is a two-minute conversation.
