SLD and STP are two of the most-asked-about APLGO lozenges in South Africa, and people often ask whether to take them together. This guide explains what each one is designed for, what is inside, how people combine them in a daily routine, and what to keep in mind.
SLD and STP at a Glance
SLD ("Slide") is designed to support joint mobility, flexibility and everyday comfort. Many people use it as a steady daily habit.
STP ("Stop") is designed to support the body's natural comfort response, and is commonly used after physical activity or a long day on your feet.
Both are plant-based, sugar-free lozenges from APLGO's Daily Range. You dissolve them slowly in the mouth rather than swallowing a tablet.
What Is Inside Each One
SLD: Grapple Plant Root (Devil's Claw), Ginger Root, Turmeric, Licorice Root, Green Tea Leaf, Pear and Wild Strawberry.
STP: Ashwagandha Root, Cherry, Ginger Root, Grapple Plant Root (Devil's Claw), Licorice Root, Cayenne Pepper, Raspberry and Turmeric Root.
They share four botanicals: Devil's Claw, Ginger, Turmeric and Licorice, plants traditionally associated with comfortable movement. SLD adds Green Tea, Pear and Wild Strawberry, while STP adds Ashwagandha, Cherry, Cayenne and Raspberry.
How People Use SLD and STP Together
A common pattern is to use SLD as the daily base and STP around activity:
SLD: 1 lozenge dissolved slowly, 2 to 3 times a day. Many people use it consistently for 60 to 90 days.
STP: 1 lozenge as needed, up to 3 to 4 times a day, often after exercise, gardening, housework or a long shift standing.
Always follow the directions on each product's packaging. If you are unsure how to combine them for your routine, message us and we will help.

When to See a Doctor First
SLD and STP are food supplements, not medicines. They are not a treatment for arthritis, injuries or any medical condition, and they do not replace painkillers or anti-inflammatory medication your doctor has prescribed. See a healthcare practitioner if you have:
Pain, swelling or stiffness that does not improve, or keeps getting worse
A recent injury or fall
Joint redness, heat or fever
Chronic medication, pregnancy or breastfeeding (check before adding any supplement)
