Vitamin B3 as an example of how food is medicine

Niacin was long regarded as a common component of the diet, until it was discovered that a deficiency of it causes skin, digestive and mental health problems known as pellagra. Dr Goldberger proved that the cause of this disease was not an infection, but a diet lacking in vitamin B3. He carried out an experiment on himself and his colleagues, who consumed only a poor diet and began to show symptoms of pellagra. However, when they added foods rich in niacin to their diet, the symptoms disappeared. In 1937, niacin was isolated from the liver, confirming its importance and nutritional value.

The queen of women’s herbs: Lady’s mantle has long been a trusted ally to women

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.

A superfood we often overlook. Have you heard of aronia?

Health

Exhaustion and chronic fatigue have been frequently discussed topics in recent months. Some blame it on stress at work, others on an unhealthy lifestyle and poor-quality food, and others on vaccination... Whatever the truth may be, it is time to take matters into our own hands and deal with the situation. A weakened body is highly susceptible to various illnesses and health issues. That is why we need to give it a boost of optimism and, above all, vital energy.

Immunity and Vitality

When it comes to children’s health, everything else usually takes a back seat. Especially when they’re still very young and you’re just trying to work out what’s troubling your little one. Very often, heart-wrenching crying is caused by digestive problems – a bloated tummy that can’t cope with all the new foods it’s still learning to digest. Anyone who’s had a baby who’s cried for hours on end knows just how awful that distress is. Yet very often, advice from experienced older neighbours – who have ‘teas for everything’ – has proved helpful.

“It’s just another vitamin… or is it?” is probably what each of us thinks, but the more we learn about pantothenic acid, the more fascinated we become. Vitamin B5 plays a key role in converting food into energy; it supports concentration, mental well-being and even skin regeneration. Without it, the body would be unable to produce hormones properly or cope with stress. It is also a substance found in every cell of our body; it has been with us since birth and contributes to energy levels, skin health and mental alertness. Although we may overlook it, its importance is undeniable and its name is no coincidence. It derives from the Greek word ‘panto’, meaning ‘everywhere’. And indeed, it is ubiquitous, irreplaceable and somewhat mysterious. If we start looking into where this essential vitamin is found, we’ll find it in eggs, nuts, wholegrains, shellfish, avocado, salmon, liver, kidneys, beef, yeast and vegetables… And if we’ve just realised that our diet is lacking in these foods, we should consider taking a B5 supplement. Within just a few days, we’d start to notice a difference. We’d wake up with more energy, our minds would be clearer, and we’d even see an improvement in our skin. Our colleagues wouldn’t fail to notice that we’re working faster, are more creative and less stressed. Pantothenic acid will help us get back into shape. And for us, it will no longer be just another substance on the list of vitamins.

B-complex

I remember the word "békomplex" very well from my childhood, but I never really knew what it meant. Younger people probably associate this word with drum & bass, because the name B-Complex is used by Slovak DJ and producer Matúš Lenický (hit Beautiful Lies). Strictly speaking, B complex is a group of vitamins B1 to B12.

... to make you feel comfortable and happy in your body

Why + C + hyaluronic acid? In short, it is an elixir of youth, characterised by three powerful antioxidants. The combination of these ingredients increases health benefits, and not just for the skin (as it may seem). Even in youth, the amount of hyaluronic acid increases. This trio helps to safely replenish and improve the health of the skin on the face, bones, joints and veins, making them firm and strong. Vitamin C is necessary for biosynthesis (and conversion) and effective utilisation. Let's break it down into small pieces, because here too, everything is literally connected...

Surprisingly Resilient Maca - Peruvian Cress

This remarkable plant (Lepidium mayenii) from the Peruvian Andes, where it is grown at extreme altitudes (4000 m a.s.l.). It is incredibly resilient and can survive and grow in conditions where most other plant species would not survive, such as low temperatures, strong winds, and intense UV radiation. Its ability to adapt to harsh environments enriches it with nutrients and substances that positively impact the human body, enhancing resistance to both physical and mental stress.

Do we need the 'sunshine' vitamin D3 only in winter?

When you feel the sun's rays on your skin, know that your body is creating one of the most important vitamins - D3, which was discovered thanks to centuries of research. The discovery of vitamin D3 became one of the most significant medical achievements of the 20th century, saving millions of lives: It was the year 1650 and in the streets of London, doctors noticed that more and more children were suffering from a strange disease called rickets (their bones were weak and brittle, legs deformed, growth slowed). It wasn't until 1919 that Dr. Huldschinsky exposed children with rickets to ultraviolet light and their bones began to heal! Three years later, biochemist McCollum discovered a substance that prevented rickets and called it vitamin D. Gradually, the existence of the most important form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) was discovered.

Collagen+C+hyaluronic acid - a recipe for beauty and youth

Everybody wants to do the best for their health and when I study nutritional supplements, I soon find out that in order to meet the daily intake of all the necessary substances, I would have to consume a good dose of capsules every day. Of course, as with everything, we have to use common, peasant common sense.

Vitamin C + rose hips + bioflavonoids

Designed specifically for stronger antioxidant effects, better absorption and utilisation, with rosehip as the main source of natural vitamin C. Vitamin C, known as ascorbic acid, is a nutrient essential for the functioning of our body. Our body synthesises this essential vitamin, so it is necessary to obtain it from fruits and vegetables such as citrus fruits, peppers, horseradish, and tomatoes.

The First of Vitamins - B1

Maybe it's burnout ... that's the current description of the state when we feel different. When the coffee we loved no longer works and in the afternoon we are overwhelmed by unbearable fatigue, when in the evening we have no strength for anything, neither for sports nor for friends. And certainly not for another day at work. A nutritionist would describe this state with further findings of our diet with the words - „ You have a lack of thiamine (B1), which is essential for the proper functioning of the nervous system and the conversion of food into energy. Your diet is full of processed carbohydrates, but almost without B1. And when the body doesn't have enough thiamine, you can feel fatigue, forgetfulness, irritability, and even anxiety. And caffeine? It depletes thiamine in the body even more!“ We certainly wouldn't think that this state could be caused by a “triviality”. After all, many of us don't register thiamine, I admit it was also my case. This first of the discovered vitamins in 1912 was named by the Polish biochemist Funk with the term vita (necessary for life), amine (substances that contain nitrogen). Since then, it has gained more names, like aneurin, and for 25 years we have called it thiamine. It is essential, meaning it cannot be synthesized and must come from the diet. It sounds almost frightening that without it we wouldn't survive longer than a few days, at most weeks. This is because the body cannot store it for long and it is necessary to ensure its intake regularly, as it is irreplaceable for the proper functioning of the organism. On the contrary, its abundance helps improve concentration and memory.
