Immunity and Vitality
Imagine that your body has its own personal bodyguard, who is constantly on the lookout, protecting your cells from damage, ageing and disease. This is precisely the role played by vitamin E. This powerful antioxidant, which is often overlooked in the shadow of the more popular vitamin C, is in fact absolutely key to overall 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.

When we hear the words ‘liquorice’, many of us immediately think of the distinctive taste of black liquorice from our childhood. However, this unassuming plant, scientifically known as Glycyrrhiza glabra, holds much more than just nostalgic memories of sweets. 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.

The term ‘vitamin B6’ is used to refer to three derivatives: pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. Whichever of these you consume, the active form of this vitamin is pyridoxal-5-phosphate. It is an important cofactor for enzymes. All three forms of vitamin B6 are found in the normal diet and are absorbed directly in the gut. It plays a key role in the metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates. It is involved in more than 100 enzymatic reactions.

When we need to recharge our batteries and long for peace, it’s time to slow down. Imagine the silence of a mountain morning, when the mist rises above the valley, the sun touches the mountain slopes, and the air is fresh and scented with wild herbs. And although these herbs grow in the purest areas and in mineral-rich soil, they must also adapt to the harsh conditions of the mountains. As a result, they are rich in antioxidants, essential oils, flavonoids and phenolic compounds, which help protect cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin B12 is the most complex vitamin (from a chemical point of view); it contains cobalt, which is essential for its activity. Also known as cyanocobalamin, it plays a part in the proper functioning of the body, and our bodies require it every day. Although we only need it in small amounts, its importance for red blood cell production and metabolism is enormous. Various studies suggest that it has a beneficial effect on our mood and memory, and supports brain function. Vitamin B12 is necessary for maintaining the proper functioning of the nervous system and the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. Unlike other vitamins, B12 is synthesised in nature only by bacteria found in the digestive systems of animals. We therefore obtain it mainly from animal products, such as meat and dairy products. Its uniqueness also lies in its ability to be stored in the liver for many years, but a deficiency poses a risk not only to vegans and older people. A B12 deficiency does not manifest itself immediately (it can take up to a year). Fatigue is the first sign of a deficiency in this vitamin. Chronic fatigue, memory problems, tingling in the limbs or depression can be subtle warning signs. As vitamin B12 is essential for the production of myelin, the protective sheath around nerve fibres, a deficiency can lead to neurological problems such as numbness and balance issues. If this deficiency is left untreated, it can lead to serious neurological disorders and anaemia; the deficiency also manifests itself through various haematological and psychiatric symptoms (including confusion and disorientation, atrophy, mood and behavioural changes, psychosis and cognitive problems, loss of concentration, insomnia and incontinence). In the past, pernicious anaemia was incurable. In 1926, two doctors discovered that eating raw liver could alleviate these symptoms – fatigue, memory loss and nerve damage. Two decades later, they succeeded in isolating the substance responsible for this effect, which turned out to be vitamin B12.

Most of us associate vitamin C with the classic sour tablet. In fact, it’s a vitamin that plays a vital role in the body, helping us to cope with stress, supporting our immune system, collagen production and iron absorption. And as it doesn’t last long in the body, we need to replenish it daily. During periods of stress or illness, our need for it can even increase several-fold. And honestly, do you know anyone who isn’t stressed these days?

What would a debate between vitamins look like if they were characters from the animated series *Once Upon a Time… Life*? Vitamin D3: “Hey, calcium, go away.”

If there is one plant we would particularly recommend to the fairer half of humanity, it would be yellow-green alchemilla, which is also known as the ‘women’s cloak’ due to its effects. It has long been used to treat the menopause and period pain, as well as to strengthen the uterus during pregnancy. Do not use it during the first trimester; it is recommended for use only in the second half of pregnancy.

Modern science has amassed a vast body of knowledge in the fields of chemistry and pharmacology. Yet, even though we are now able to examine plants or parts of them right down to the atomic level, we often fail to understand just how effective a simple herbal tea can be. It can lift your spirits, calm you down and relieve stress – all without any side effects, unlike tablets. Quite simply, the human body and its various interactions with different substances vary so much from person to person that we will have to wait a while longer for precise and clear facts...

There are so many jokes, books, serious literature and scientific studies on the subject of the female cycle that it is almost impossible to come up with anything new. And yet. Although this topic directly affects half the world’s population (and indirectly the other half as well), there is no foolproof solution that would miraculously resolve the problems associated with the female cycle. And although there are companies that claim to have invented a product ‘for those days’, every woman knows that something else helps her. Sometimes it’s chocolate, sometimes a tablet, but most often it’s simply some peace and quiet...

It acts in your body much like a ‘superhero’, fighting free radicals, improving your eyesight, boosting your immune system and looking after your skin as if it were a specialist from a prestigious beauty salon. It’s called beta-carotene, a natural wonder found in smoothies and salads alike. Beta-carotene is a pigment that gives vegetables such as carrots, pumpkins and sweet potatoes their characteristic orange (but also yellow or red) colour. It is the word ‘carota’ (the Latin name for carrot) that formed the basis of its name. And in fact, carrots are one of the vegetables with the highest beta-carotene content.
