Technical Details & Test Data
- Scientific Studies
Scientific studies have been carried out to qualify the efficacy of LUZIXINE™ supplementation. These studies demonstrate the beneficial effects of LUZIXINE™ on:
Successful thriving:
Two studies were carried out on children in order to compare supplementation with concentrated extract of alfalfa leaf and consumption of powdered milk [1],[2]Correction of iron deficiency anemia:
A study was conducted on anemic adolescent girls [3]Because health is a precious asset for all of us, LUZIXINE™ is also used in the humanitarian context for malnourished populations, among whom it has demonstrated conclusive results. In this respect, LUZIXINE™ legitimately meets the needs of all individuals, particularly those with specific nutritional requirements.
