Iana Muscles Tonicité is a plant-based dietary supplement in capsule form that combines spirulina and maca root extract with potassium, zinc, and vitamin B6. Potassium supports normal muscle function, and vitamin B6 supports normal energy metabolism.
Iana Muscles Tonicité is a plant-based dietary supplement in capsule form. Its formula is based on two plant-based ingredients— spirulina powder and Macanity™, an extract from the root of Peruvian red maca—to which are added a mineral (potassium, in the form of chloride), a trace element (zinc, in the form of sulfate), and a vitamin, B6, in the form of pyridoxine hydrochloride. A rice protein hydrolysate rounds out the formula.
The 6 daily capsules provide 300 mg of potassium, or 15% of the reference intakes, and potassium contributes to normal muscle function. Vitamin B6, present at 20% of the reference intake, contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce fatigue. Zinc, at 15% of the reference intake, contributes to normal protein synthesis.
Spirulina (Spirulina platensis, also known as Arthrospira) is a cyanobacterium, a blue-green microalgae that thrives in warm, alkaline waters. Cultivated in ponds, harvested, and then dried, it comes in the form of a dark green powder with a strong flavor, which the capsule allows you to swallow without tasting it. Communities living along Lake Chad and, in the past, in the Valley of Mexico, have long harvested it: it is an algae that has been consumed as food for many years.
Maca (Lepidium meyenii) is a plant in the cabbage and radish family, grown on the high plateaus of the Peruvian Andes, at altitudes above 3,500 meters, where few other crops can withstand the cold and wind. Its swollen root, which is dried and then ground into flour, is part of the traditional Andean diet, served as porridge, flatbread, or a beverage. Iana Muscles Tonicité is taken twice daily—in the morning and evening—as part of a set regimen rather than continuously, and is best used in conjunction with regular physical activity: walking, cycling, swimming, gardening, or gentle exercise.
One dose in the morning, one in the evening, every day until the end of the program: consistency is the challenge with this type of supplement. To help you remember your evening dose, we recommend the Pilbox weekly pill organizer, where each daily module has compartments labeled morning, noon, evening, and night. You prepare the week’s doses all at once, and a compartment that remains full immediately signals a missed dose.
Directions for Use
Take 3 capsules in the morning and 3 capsules in the evening, with a large glass of water. Take for 20 days; repeat if necessary.

Product Details
Box of 120 plant-based capsules in blister packs, providing a 20-day supply at the recommended dosage.
Potassium can easily go unnoticed in a formula chosen for its spirulina and maca content. Yet it’s potassium that determines whether this supplement is right for you: blood pressure and heart medications are among the most commonly prescribed after age 50, and many of them already cause the body to retain potassium. This is the situation addressed by the precautions. Please bring us your prescription before taking your first dose.
Second, take stock of what you’re already taking. Spirulina is also sold on its own, in tablets or as a sprinkle powder, and zinc and vitamin B6 are found in most multivitamin formulas. Think of this program as a specific period during the year, not as a permanent regimen: once it’s over, check in with us before starting another box.
Who is Iana Muscles Tonicité intended for?
Iana Muscles Tonicity is designed for people over 45 who stay physically active on a daily basis and are looking for a spirulina- and maca-based supplement to take for a specific period of time.
What’s the difference between Iana Muscles Tonicity (120 capsules) and Iana Muscles Recovery (40 capsules)?
Both formulas contain maca, potassium, and zinc, but differ in their other ingredients. Iana Muscles Tonicity is based on spirulina and provides vitamin B6, and is intended for a longer-term regimen. Iana Muscles Recovery 40 capsules combines maca with eleutherococcus, also known as Siberian ginseng, and adds magnesium, as part of a shorter regimen.
How long does it take for Iana Muscles Tonicity to take effect?
No specific timeframe can be given. This supplement is designed for the duration of the program, and it’s the consistency of taking two doses daily until the very last capsule that matters—more so than how you feel in the first few days.
