Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients p. 2

Oleic acid (Omega-9). Lowers “bad” cholesterol levels. Reduces inflammation. Supports heart and vascular health. Deficiency increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and disrupts lipid metabolism.

Vitamin D (calciferol). Calcium and phosphorus absorption. Inadequacy leads to osteoporosis, rickets in children, weak immunity, and depression.

Fibers. Gut health, normal digestion, blood sugar and cholesterol levels. Insufficient intake can lead to constipation, obesity, diabetes.

Water. Supports thermoregulation, metabolism, and detoxification. Insufficient amounts can lead to headaches, fatigue, organ dysfunction, and decreased cognitive functions.

Prebiotics. Health of the digestive system. Insufficient health can lead to digestive issues, decreased immunity, and an increased risk of inflammatory diseases.

Probiotics. Healthy gut microflora, improved digestion, immunity. Lack of it leads to dysbiosis, digestive issues, weakened immunity, and increased risk of infections.

Antioxidants. They reduce inflammation and slow down the aging process. A deficiency increases the risk of chronic diseases (cancer, heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders).

Flavonoids. Antioxidant. Strengthening the immune system, protection against inflammation, heart and vascular health.

EPA (Omega-3). Anti-inflammatory properties, heart and vascular health. Insufficient levels lead to inflammatory processes, cardiovascular diseases, depression.

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.

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.

Lycopene. Antioxidant. Protection of cells from oxidative stress, reduction of cardiovascular diseases and some types of cancer.

Lutein. Eye health, retina protection, prevention of age-related vision disorders. Insufficient care leads to vision impairment, age-related macular degeneration, cataracts.

Vitamin B8 (Inositol). Metabolism of fats, health of the nervous system. Inadequate levels lead to mood disorders, metabolic issues.

Vitamin B4 (Choline). Liver, brain, and nervous system function, synthesis of acetylcholine. Insufficient levels lead to fatty liver degeneration, cognitive impairments, and fatigue.

Fluorine. Strengthening tooth enamel, mineralization of bones. In case of deficiency, increased sensitivity of teeth and caries.

Silicon. Skin, hair, nail, and bone health, collagen synthesis. Insufficient levels lead to deterioration of skin, hair, and bone condition.

Nickel. Enzyme activity, iron metabolism. Deficiency may affect metabolism and bone health.

Boron. Bone health, calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D metabolism. Deficiency worsens bone health and cognitive functions.

Vanadium. Regulation of blood sugar levels, bone and dental health. A deficiency affects sugar metabolism.
