Vital-Check: How your individual micronutrient evaluation works

If you've landed on this page, you've probably just been wondering: "What actually happens when I click the Vital-Check button?" — and that's a very fair question. Here's the honest answer, without marketing-speak. For background on what micronutrients are and what they can do for you, the knowledge hub is a good starting point — though you don't need to have read anything to fill out the Vital-Check sensibly.

In three sentences

You fill in a short questionnaire. I get back to you afterwards via WhatsApp or email with your individual evaluation — what fits your daily routine, where an adjustment might make sense, and where you don't need to change a thing. No obligation, no sales pressure, no diagnosis, no long phone call.

Step 1: The questionnaire

The online questionnaire isn't about symptoms, lab values or diagnoses — it's about your everyday life. Specifically, we ask about:

• Your daily routine — job, activity level, typical sleep times
• Your diet — eating pattern (omnivore, vegetarian, vegan), how often you eat fish or meat, what you enjoy and what you tend to avoid
• Your goals — more energy, better sports performance, calmer sleep, simply living more consciously
• How you feel — how are you doing right now, are there topics on your mind

Three to five minutes is enough. You can leave fields blank if you don't want to answer. You don't have to prove anything and you don't have to know anything either — the questionnaire is built so that even someone who has never thought about nutrition before can get through it without trouble.

Step 2: Your individual evaluation

Within a few days I get back to you via WhatsApp or email (whichever you indicated) with a short, individual evaluation. No phone call required, everything written down for you to read at leisure. That typically includes:

• Which micronutrients can play a role in your daily life
• Where your diet is already well set up (more often than people think)
• Which small adjustments could be worth making
• Where supplementation is not the first lever — because often a change in routine does more
• Concrete food tips that fit your taste and schedule

Important: I'm not a doctor. For medical questions, unclear symptoms or existing conditions I refer you to your GP or a specialist. Food supplements don't replace medical diagnostics or medical treatment.

Step 3: What you have afterwards

After the evaluation you have:

• A written summary of the recommendation — to read again in WhatsApp or your email inbox
• If relevant: a suggestion for a routine, in case supplementation makes sense
• Answers to all the questions you had beforehand
• Pointers to further reading (DGE, EFSA, BfR), if you want to dig deeper

If you have follow-up questions, you simply reply directly to the message — again, no time pressure, no phone call.

What you do afterwards is your decision. There's no obligation to buy anything, no automatic follow-up offer, no newsletters without your explicit consent.

What happens with your data

Your Vital-Check data fall under the special categories of personal data under Article 9 GDPR and are treated accordingly:

• Encrypted storage on a server in Germany
• Used exclusively to create your individual evaluation
• Automatic deletion of health information after 6 months
• You can withdraw your consent at any time by email

Details can be found in the privacy policy, section 2a.

Who I am

My name is Timo Altholtmann. I'm a self-employed FitLine team partner (PM-International AG) and at the same time a user myself. The Vital-Check and the individual evaluation are a personal offering of mine — I'm not an official representative of PM-International and I'm not a medical provider.

What you get from me: honest assessment instead of sales pressure. If the result at the end is "you don't need to buy anything, just adjust X in your day", that's just as good an outcome as a concrete product suggestion. My goal is for you to decide informed — not for you to buy something.
