Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients p. 3

Copper. Collagen formation, iron metabolism, immune system support. Insufficient levels can lead to anemia, weakness, immune system issues, and bone problems.

Zinc. Immunity, skin health, wound healing, and DNA synthesis. Insufficient levels lead to hair loss, weakened immunity, and delayed wound healing.

Iron. Formation of hemoglobin (carries oxygen throughout the body). In case of deficiency: anemia, fatigue, weakness, dizziness.

Magnesium. Participates in over 300 biochemical reactions, nerve and muscle health. Deficiency can lead to cramps, fatigue, heart rhythm disturbances, and anxiety.

Chlorine. Balance of acids and electrolytes, digestion. In case of deficiency, dehydration, muscle cramps, digestive disorders.

Sodium. Fluid balance in the body, the functioning of nerves and muscles. Dehydration, muscle cramps, and low blood pressure occur with a deficiency.

Potassium. The work of nerves, muscles, and electrolyte balance in the body. A deficiency leads to muscle cramps, weakness, arrhythmia, and high blood pressure.

Phosphorus. Bone and tooth formation, energy production. Deficiency leads to weakness, bone problems, and fatigue.

Calcium. Bone and tooth health, transmission of nerve impulses, and muscle contractions. Insufficiency can lead to osteoporosis, muscle weakness, and cramps.

Vitamin K (phylloquinone). Maintaining blood coagulation. In case of deficiency, the risk of bleeding.

Vitamin E (tocopherol). Antioxidant, skin and hair health. Insufficient amounts can lead to muscle weakness, nerve damage, and anemia.

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid). Wound healing, immune support, iron absorption. A deficiency of vitamin C leads to weakness, bleeding gums, and reduced immunity.

Vitamin B12 (cobalamin). DNA synthesis, nervous system function, erythrocyte formation. In case of deficiency, anemia, fatigue, memory problems, and issues with the nervous system.

Vitamin B9 (folic acid). DNA synthesis, blood health, is important during pregnancy. In case of deficiency, anemia, fatigue, and neural tube defects in the fetus may occur.

Vitamin B7 (biotin). Carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism, skin, hair, and nail health. Insufficient levels can lead to skin rashes, hair loss, and depression.

Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine). Protein metabolism, brain function. Insufficiency leads to irritability, depression, anemia, weak immunity.

Vitamin B3 (niacin, nicotinic acid). Exchange of fats and carbohydrates, support of the nervous system. In case of deficiency, pellagra (dermatitis, diarrhea, and dementia).

Vitamin B2 (riboflavin). Energy production, skin health, vision, and metabolism. Insufficient levels lead to cracks in the corners of the mouth, dry skin, and light sensitivity.

Vitamin B1 (thiamine). Carbohydrate metabolism and maintenance of the nervous system. In case of deficiency, the disease beriberi, weakness, disturbances in the functioning of the heart and nervous system.
