Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients
Nutrients play a crucial role in supporting the health and effectiveness of the keto diet. The right balance and sufficient intake of nutrients provide energy, support metabolic processes, strengthen the immune system, and contribute to overall well-being.
Phytonutrients
Chlorophyll. Antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, detoxification, skin health support.
Fatty Acids
Erucic acid (Omega-9). In large doses, it can be toxic to the heart.
Fatty Acids
Myristic acid (Saturated). May participate in regulating cholesterol levels. In excess, it may increase LDL cholesterol levels, which is associated with the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Fatty Acids
Stearic acid (Saturated). Neutral effect on cholesterol levels, may support heart health. Unlike other saturated fats, does not raise levels of "bad" cholesterol (LDL).
Fatty Acids
Palmitic acid (Saturated). Supports the integrity of cell membranes, energy production. In excess, there is a risk of developing cardiovascular diseases.
Fatty Acids
Arachidonic acid (AA, Omega-6). Muscle growth, immune functions, maintenance of brain health. Involved in inflammatory and immune responses. Deficiency leads to immune system disorders, impaired muscle growth, cognitive function issues.
Fatty Acids
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA, Omega-6). Anti-inflammatory properties, regulation of hormonal balance, and skin health. In case of deficiency, inflammation, skin problems (eczema, dermatitis), hormonal disorders.
Fatty Acids
Linoleic acid (Omega-6). Skin health regulates inflammatory processes, participates in the synthesis of cell membranes and hormones. A deficiency leads to dry skin, inflammatory diseases, and delayed wound healing.
Fatty Acids
Oleic acid (Omega-9). Lowers the level of "bad" cholesterol. Heart and vascular health. Insufficient amounts increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases and lipid metabolism disorders.
Vitamins
Vitamin D (calciferol). Calcium and phosphorus absorption. Inadequacy leads to osteoporosis, rickets in children, weak immunity, and depression.
Macronutrients
Fibers. Gut health, normal digestion, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Insufficient intake can lead to constipation, obesity, diabetes.
Other Substances
Water. Supports thermoregulation, metabolism, and detoxification. Insufficient amounts can lead to headaches, fatigue, organ dysfunction, and decreased cognitive functions.
Other Substances
Prebiotics. Health of the digestive system. Insufficient health can lead to digestive issues, decreased immunity, and an increased risk of inflammatory diseases.
Other Substances
Probiotics. Healthy gut microflora, improved digestion, immunity. Lack of it leads to dysbiosis, digestive issues, weakened immunity, and increased risk of infections.
Other Substances
Antioxidants. They reduce inflammation and slow down the aging process. A deficiency increases the risk of chronic diseases (cancer, heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders).
Phytonutrients
Flavonoids. Antioxidant. Strengthening the immune system, protection against inflammation, heart and vascular health.
Fatty Acids
EPA (Omega-3). Anti-inflammatory properties, heart and vascular health. Insufficient levels lead to inflammatory processes, cardiovascular diseases, depression.
Fatty Acids
DHA (Omega-3). Development and functioning of the brain, vision, and nervous system. Insufficient levels lead to cognitive impairments, memory problems, vision deterioration, and an increased risk of neurodegenerative diseases.
Fatty Acids
Alpha-linolenic acid (Omega-3). Maintaining heart and brain health, reducing inflammation. A deficiency increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory processes, and cognitive function deterioration.
Phytonutrients
Lycopene. Antioxidant. Protection of cells from oxidative stress, reduction of cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer.
