Immunity and Vitality

When we hear the term ‘dietary supplement’, most of us immediately think of vitamin C, magnesium or protein. However, there is one substance that often goes unnoticed, even though it is literally essential for the functioning of every single cell in the human body. We’re talking about lecithin.

Vitamin B1 Thiamine

Energy

Vitamin B1 belongs to the B1 to B12 groups, which we refer to collectively as the B complex. All vitamins in this group should be supplemented under this name. But do I only need one of them? You need the whole group – the most important vitamins from the B group can be obtained separately.

There's a scene in an old movie where Grandma or Grandpa make little kids drink a spoonful of fish oil every morning. The kids hate it, it tastes disgusting. "But you'll be healthy!"- is the sentence of the caring grandparents. Where did this come from? It is still true today, except that science has managed to turn the miraculous fish oil into "ordinary" tablets or extracts with no normal taste.

Immunity and Vitality

Imagine a world where a smartphone would be expected to run at 100 per cent capacity even when the battery is down to 12 per cent. That is exactly what modern society does to women – and, worse still, we often do it to ourselves.

Immunity and Vitality

Do you know that feeling when your alarm goes off in the morning and you feel as though you haven’t slept at all? Your head feels heavy, your thoughts are foggy, and the first thing you think of is a huge cup of coffee.

Let’s take a look together at what happens to us when we sleep, and how we can gently help our bodies achieve deep, undisturbed rest.

The hidden conductor of the female cycle: Why is vitamin D more of a hormone than just an ordinary vitamin?

Immunity and Vitality

When we hear the term ‘vitamin D’, most of us think of healthy bones, a stronger immune system or getting a tan in the summer. For the female body, however, this unassuming nutrient means much more. Doctors are now confirming a surprising fact: vitamin D behaves more like a hormone than a conventional vitamin within the body.

For thousands of years, it has been a cornerstone of traditional Chinese, Indian and Greek medicine. Today, it is making a major comeback – in the form of highly effective dietary supplements.

Oh, that memory! How to support it with dietary supplements

Health

In today’s fast-paced world, our memory and concentration are really put to the test. We often think that the occasional lapse in memory is simply a natural part of ageing, stress or overwork. The truth, however, is that our brain is an organ that consumes a huge amount of energy and is extremely sensitive to the nutrients we provide it with. It functions as an extremely complex system, and if it lacks essential building blocks and high-quality nutrients, its performance begins to decline and we find ourselves unable to remember where we’ve put our keys.

Burnout syndrome or just a tired brain? How stress depletes our reserves of the ‘happiness hormone’

Harmony

Do you wake up feeling weighed down even before you’ve opened your laptop? Morning anxiety, irritability at routine emails and a loss of motivation for projects you used to enjoy... Does this sound familiar? Many successful people, managers and entrepreneurs automatically attribute these feelings to impending burnout. However, they often fail to realise that their nervous system has simply been running ‘on credit’ for a long time, and that the problem may have a clear biochemical basis. It isn’t always just a psychological issue. Often, it’s simply a lack of fuel for your brain.
