Microb-Manager Para-Max from Quicksilver Scientific is a dietary supplement with molybdenum and a broad composition of botanical extracts and aromatic plant oils. Official product page describes the product as a broad-spectrum botanical formula in capsules, developed with Quicksilver Scientific's SMEDDS™ technology. Uno Vita's current product page lists a daily dose of 2 capsules and describes the same main profile of molybdenum, artemisinin, berberine, curcuminoid complex and a proprietary botanical blend.

Health benefits
For this product, the key legal health claim relates to molybdenum. Molybdenum contributes to the normal metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids. It is the safest and most precise function claim to use in Norwegian and EU-adapted product text. The other ingredients should be referred to as botanical extracts and plant oils without medical or disease-related claims. This makes the text both more robust regulatory and more credible.

• Molybdenum contributes to the normal metabolism of sulfur-containing amino acids.

• The product combines molybdenum with botanical extracts and essential plant oils in a concentrated capsule mixture.

• Quicksilver Scientific describes the product as formulated with SMEDDS™ technology.

Assessment for Norwegian product text
This product contains several botanical extracts and essential oils that should be described in sober language. It is particularly important to avoid formulations about "parasites", "bacteria", "viruses", "fungus", "microbial challenges", "detox", "cleanse" or other expressions related to disease and treatment in the final text. On its English page, Quicksilver uses language about "microbial balance" and "immune readiness", but this should be toned down considerably in a Norwegian store text. A safe and selling approach is to emphasize that the product is an advanced botanical capsule mixture with molybdenum and plant extracts, developed for adults who want a highly standardized dietary supplement with a carefully composed ingredient profile.

Reservation
For adults only. The recommended daily dose should not be exceeded. Dietary supplements should not replace a varied and balanced diet or a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of the reach of children. Pregnant women, breast-feeding women and people who use medicines or are under medical follow-up should consult a qualified healthcare professional before use. As the product contains propolis and several botanical extracts, people with known hypersensitivity to bee products or plants in the formulation should be particularly careful. The product's composition should also be assessed against current Norwegian/EU regulations for botanicals and "other substances" before final publication. The latter is my cautious regulatory assessment based on the ingredient profile.

Freedom of expression
