Magnesium - the most important mineral?
If you ask any athlete (especially endurance athletes) what nutritional supplement they always have with them for competitions, the most common answer will be "magnesium". Magnesium is definitely one of the most important minerals for our body. It is a so-called "deficiency" mineral because we excrete it from the body during excessive exertion, but also when we are not exercising! Just living in a noisy, stressful, demanding environment is enough...

Reishi, a mushroom used as far back as 4,000 years ago. The divine mushroom of immortality – in the past, it was believed to be able to revive even the dead. It has a particularly important place in Chinese medicine (under the name lingzhi), where it was first mentioned in writing 200 years before Christ. An entire army was assigned to search for it, because the Chinese imperial court believed that it could be used to mix an elixir of immortality. The Slovak name probably does not mean much to you - Leskokôrovka hnedočervená, it is actually a wood-destroying parasitic fungus that lives mainly on injured trees. It has a huge spectrum of biological substances. Its effects are also described in the professional encyclopaedia Huby ako .

Imagine that your body is a factory working at full capacity (to provide energy, growth, cell repair) and iron is the fuel that keeps it running. If iron reserves are depleted, you may experience weakness, heart palpitations or paler skin. Symptoms of iron deficiency include brittle nails, dry hair, shortness of breath, sleep problems, reduced concentration, cold extremities, increased frequency of infections, and anaemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by too little iron in the body), which manifests itself as extreme fatigue. With anaemia, the body is not supplied with enough oxygen and quickly becomes exhausted. Bruising can also be a sign of iron deficiency, as this mineral is important in the formation of haemoglobin, which supports the proper functioning of blood platelets.

Vitamin C is one of the best-known and most widely used dietary supplements in the world. We tend to take it particularly when we want to boost our immunity, when we’re feeling tired, or as the colder months approach. However, few people realise that the form in which we take vitamin C determines how much of it our body can actually utilise.

In the hectic pace of everyday life, we often focus on the better-known vitamins, such as C and D. Yet there is a substance that our body needs in literally every single cell. We’re talking about vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid. Its name is no coincidence – it comes from the Greek word ‘panto’, meaning ‘everywhere’.

With the arrival of autumn, almost all of us recognise this feeling. Mornings are dark and chilly, the days are dreary and are getting shorter and shorter, and as the temperature drops, it feels as though our energy levels are falling too.
