Who it is for
For those looking for a turmeric supplement, a micronutrient formula and a live-culture formula in a single purchase.
Balance-Up includes Biocurcumin, with turmeric extract in an oil base enclosed in softgels.
The kit brings together the three full packs. Pro-Bio24 with six strains, Immuncare with nutrients for the immune defences and Biocurcumin with turmeric extract. Each product keeps its own dose and is taken in relation to meals.
What it offers
Three products with different formulas, with nutrients to support the immune defences.
Supporting the immune defences
The vitamin D3, zinc, copper and selenium in Immuncare contribute to the normal function of the immune system. They come together in one capsule a day, after dinner.
Turmeric in softgels
Biocurcumin completes the kit with turmeric extract. The turmeric extract is enclosed in a self-emulsifying oil base, designed to aid the dispersion of curcuminoids in digestive fluids.
Protecting cells from oxidative stress
The zinc, copper and selenium in Immuncare contribute to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. Another function of the minerals already in the formula.
Supporting bones and muscles
Calcium is needed for the maintenance of normal bones. Vitamins D and K contribute to the same function; calcium and vitamin D also contribute to normal muscle function. These nutrients are present in Immuncare.
How to use
Each product has its own dose, to be taken in relation to meals.
With meals · Biocurcumin
Take 2 softgels a day, preferably with meals, with water.
After dinner · Immuncare
Take 1 capsule with a glass of water.
After meals · Pro-Bio24
Take 2 capsules a day with room-temperature or cool water. Avoid very hot drinks.
The kit covers 15 days with all three products. The packs last for different lengths of time: Biocurcumin 30 days, Immuncare 60 and Pro-Bio24 15. You can reorder whichever runs out first separately.

Formula and quality
Biocurcumin: turmeric in a self-emulsifying base
Curcuminoids dissolve poorly in water. That is why Biocurcumin incorporates the extract into an oil base that forms a fine emulsion on contact with digestive fluids, aiding its dispersion. The extract is standardised to 95% curcuminoids: 2 softgels provide 8 mg of them.
Immuncare: D3, K2, Q10 and four minerals
Calcium, zinc, copper and selenium accompany vitamins D3 and K2. Zinc and copper are present as gluconates, selenium as selenomethionine. Coenzyme Q10 is obtained by plant fermentation: 50 mg per capsule.
Pro-Bio24: six identified strains
A multi-strain formula, with strains selected to complement one another, and 24 billion CFU per capsule. For each strain, the name, identification code and amount are declared. The dose of 2 capsules provides 48 billion live microorganisms.
All three products are gluten-free. The Biocurcumin softgels contain bovine gelatine, so the kit is not suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

A few practical questions.
What do I get with Balance-Up?
Three full packs: Biocurcumin with 60 softgels of 340 mg, Immuncare with 60 capsules of 808 mg and Pro-Bio24 with 30 capsules of 600 mg. They are the same products available individually, with the same formulas and doses.
How much do I save compared with the individual products?
Balance-Up costs CHF 86.00. Biocurcumin costs CHF 43.00, Immuncare CHF 29.00 and Pro-Bio24 CHF 29.00: bought separately, the total is CHF 101.00. With the kit you save CHF 15.00.
How long does the kit last?
At the recommended doses, Biocurcumin lasts 30 days, Immuncare 60 and Pro-Bio24 15. So you can take all three products for 15 days, with Biocurcumin and Immuncare still left over.
The cost of about CHF 5.73 a day is calculated by dividing the price of the kit, CHF 86.00, by these 15 days. The packs do not all run out at the same time.
Do I have to take them all at the same time?
Each product follows its own directions. Biocurcumin: 2 softgels a day, preferably with meals. Immuncare: 1 capsule after dinner. Pro-Bio24: 2 capsules a day after meals, with room-temperature or cool water.
Why is the turmeric in softgels?
The softgel encloses a self-emulsifying oil base: on contact with digestive fluids it forms a fine emulsion, designed to aid the dispersion of curcuminoids, which dissolve poorly in water. Two softgels provide 8 mg of curcuminoids.
What does 24 billion per capsule mean?
It is the amount of live microorganisms in Pro-Bio24, expressed in CFU: colony-forming units. Each capsule provides 24 billion CFU, spread across six strains. The daily dose of 2 capsules provides 48 billion.
Can I reorder just one product?
Yes. When a pack runs out, you can buy Biocurcumin, Immuncare or Pro-Bio24 separately, without buying the whole kit again.
Is it gluten-free? Is it vegan?
All three products are gluten-free. The kit is neither vegan nor vegetarian: the Biocurcumin softgels contain bovine gelatine. The Immuncare and Pro-Bio24 capsules, on the other hand, are plant-based.
I take medication: what do I need to know?
Consult your doctor or pharmacist before use. Immuncare contains vitamin K2: anyone taking anticoagulants must consult their doctor before using it. Using Biocurcumin together with medication also requires your doctor’s advice.
For Pro-Bio24 during antibiotic therapy, take it at least 2 hours apart and follow the directions of your doctor or pharmacist. Do not change prescribed therapies on your own.
Are there any other important warnings?
Biocurcumin is not recommended in case of impaired liver or biliary function or stones in the biliary tract. It should not be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or for prolonged periods without consulting a doctor.
The kit is intended for adults. If you have a weakened immune system, are on immunosuppressive therapy or have other medical conditions, ask your doctor before taking it. Read the full warnings.
Does Pro-Bio24 need to be kept in the fridge?
No. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from light and heat, following the directions on the pack. The expiry date refers to the product when intact and correctly stored.
How should the three products be stored?
Keep the packs tightly closed in a cool, dry place, away from sunlight and heat. For Biocurcumin, the indicated temperature is between 15 °C and 25 °C. Observe the expiry date of each product and keep them out of the reach of young children.
