Iron, Biotin, and Glutathione: A Closer Look at the Ingredients in Venus

Venus is the Hymne formula dedicated to everyday radiance. Its composition combines ingredients with different regulatory statuses: some have officially recognized claims by OALDal (iron, biotin, zinc), while others are valued for their natural nutritional richness (glutathione, polyporus, vegan collagen). This article provides an accurate and honest overview of each of them.

Iron: a mineral with strong claims

Iron is an essential trace element, particularly important for women of childbearing age, whose needs are higher due to menstrual losses. It is naturally present in red meat, legumes, spinach, and fortified cereals.

Functional claims recognized by OALDal for iron:

• ✅ Iron contributes to normal formation of red blood cells and hemoglobin
• ✅ Iron contributes to normal oxygen transport in the body
• ✅ Iron contributes to the reduction of fatigue
• ✅ Iron contributes to normal energy metabolism
• ✅ Iron contributes to the normal function of the immune system
• ✅ Iron contributes to the normal synthesis of certain hormones
• ✅ Iron contributes to normal cognitive metabolism

These claims are applicable to Venus, which contains iron in significant doses.

Biotin: a recognized ally for hair and skin

Biotin (vitamin B8) is a water-soluble vitamin naturally present in eggs, offal, nuts, and certain legumes. It is often associated, in the collective imagination, with the beauty of hair and nails — and Swiss regulations do indeed recognize claims in this regard.

Functional claims authorized by OALDal for biotin:

• ✅ Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal hair
• ✅ Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
• ✅ Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal nails
• ✅ Biotin contributes to normal energy metabolism
• ✅ Biotin contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system

Glutathione: a natural molecule with no authorized claims to date

Glutathione is an antioxidant tripeptide naturally produced by the body. It is present in many cells and plays a role in cellular defense mechanisms against oxidative stress.

However — and this is an important point of transparency — glutathione as an ingredient in food supplements currently has no functional claims authorized in the positive list of the Swiss OALDal.

Hymne includes it in Venus for its natural richness as a compound present in the human body, without making any direct claims about it. All communication regarding glutathione is limited to factual information about its biochemical nature.

Zinc in Venus: consistency and compliance

As in Hercules and Morpheus, the zinc present in Venus allows for the use of legally recognized claims:

• ✅ Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal skin
• ✅ Zinc contributes to the maintenance of normal hair
• ✅ Zinc contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress

Why this transparency is a strength

In such a competitive sector, it would be easy to make vague or impressive claims. Hymne chooses the opposite: to clearly distinguish what is legally recognized from what comes from the natural richness of the ingredients, without confusing them.

This transparency is not a commercial weakness. It is a sign of respect for Swiss consumers — and assumed compliance with one of Europe's most rigorous legal frameworks.
