Frequently Asked Questions
Can several Dr. Reckeweg remedies be taken at the same time?
Generally yes, Dr. Reckeweg complexes can be combined. To be sure, ask a healthcare professional or our in-store team for advice.
Can R41 be taken by a woman?
No, R41 is formulated specifically for men. For women, R20 (Euglandin-F) is better suited for female glandular imbalances.
Is R7 useful for a spring detox cure?
Absolutely. R7 is often the first remedy recommended in a detox cure, as the liver is the central filtering organ. A week of R7 at the start of a cure is a classic basis.
How long before seeing results?
For acute infections (R1), the effect can be felt within the first few hours. For R7 and R41, allow 2 to 4 weeks of regular use for lasting improvement.
