An optimal supply of minerals and vitamins is an important prerequisite for the well-being and performance of our body.
Calcium for bone preservation:
Calcium is a vital mineral that our body needs for the activation and maintenance of numerous processes in the body.
Calcium is an essential component of bodily substances (bones, teeth) and makes a contribution to:
-Normal bone preservation
-Normal muscle function
-Normal blood coagulation
Calcium is stored in our bones. The mineral can then be released again from this storage location if required (e.g. if calcium intake is insufficient). Calcium is therefore always active in our body. It is absorbed, stored in the bone, released again and has to be replenished for compensation. This makes it clear that calcium must be regularly and sufficiently absorbed through food.
Vitamin D contributes to a normal utilization of calcium and supports normal bone maintenance.
Vitamin D can be produced by the body through regular exposure of the skin to sunlight. This own production is not sufficient in our latitudes, however, often. Especially in the winter months less vitamin D is produced by the body.
Biotin contributes to the maintenance of normal skin and hair.
Folic acid is a vital vitamin that the body cannot produce itself and store for long. Folic acid must be supplied regularly and sufficiently through food.
Folic acid:
-Plays a role in normal haematopoiesis and cell division
-Contributes to normal maternal tissue growth during pregnancy
-Contributes to the maintenance of a normal homocysteine metabolism
