About
Dr. Helge Riepenhof
I am the Chief Physician for Rehabilitation Medicine at the BG Clinic Hamburg and have many years of experience in orthopedics, trauma surgery, and sports medicine. In addition to my clinical work, I have had the opportunity to work in top-level international sports – including as team physician for AS Roma, as Head of Medicine & Sports Science at RB Leipzig, and in the care of athletes from the Tour de France and the NBA. These experiences from clinical practice, rehabilitation, and high-performance sports shape my approach: Medicine must be effective, understandable, and consistently patient-centered.
For many years, I've worked with people who have particularly high physical demands – injured patients, ambitious amateur athletes, and international professional athletes. I see how nutrition, training, sleep, and micronutrient supply interact and how significant the differences between high-quality and low-quality products can be. The supplement landscape is often confusing, and many products are underdosed or not scientifically sound. My experience in sports medicine and rehabilitation has shown me which ingredients, in which combinations, are truly beneficial – and which are more marketing than medicine. That's why I started developing my own products that meet these standards.
I want to offer high-quality, clearly formulated, and scientifically sound products that truly support people. Supplivit should be a brand that stands for transparency, quality, and medical logic—not for trends or promises that can't be kept. My goal is to develop supplements formulated the way I would recommend them in sports medicine practice: sensibly dosed, functional, highly bioavailable, and without unnecessary additives. Supplivit should help people actively support their health—whether they're pushing their limits in everyday life, at work, or in sports.
Steel Immune was born from a very simple idea: Many people know their immune system needs support, but they either receive single-topic products or completely overloaded mixtures lacking a clear structure. In my clinical practice, I see daily how important a well-functioning immune system is for regeneration – and how much strain, stress, or intensive training phases can weaken it.
Steel Immune therefore combines carefully selected ingredients that support each other, are highly bioavailable, and are present in appropriate dosages. It is not a "one-size-fits-all" product, but rather a logically structured immune system supplement based on scientifically well-established mechanisms.
Four things matter to me:
- Effectiveness – only ingredients that have a real benefit.
-
Dosage – sufficient, but not excessive; scientifically based.
- Bioavailability – forms that the body can easily absorb.
- Evidence & transparency – no fillers, no unnecessary additives, no empty phrases.
The advantage of Steel Immune lies precisely in this: it is medically sound, clearly structured, and sensibly dosed. It's not a marketing product, but a functional supplement for people who want to specifically support their immune system – whether in everyday life, under high stress, or during intensive training phases.
