How to reduce stress levels without medication: 5 supplements that really work

We live in an age where constant tension and an overburdened nervous system are almost the social norm. Chronic stress and that unpleasant, creeping anxiety have long since ceased to be merely abstract psychological concepts. They manifest as a knot in the stomach, an endless stream of thoughts before bedtime, and a feeling of exhaustion that cannot simply be shaken off with a good night’s sleep. As if that weren’t enough, stomach problems can also be counted amongst the unpleasant symptoms. Although sleep, exercise and lifestyle adjustments remain the foundation of mental balance, during prolonged periods of nervous tension our body burns through key micronutrients whilst crying out for help.

5 vitamins you should incorporate into your daily routine as autumn approaches. Do you take them too?

Mornings are starting to get colder, the days are getting shorter by the day, and the morning mist reminds us that summer has definitely handed over the baton to autumn. However, along with cosy jumpers and a cup of hot tea comes a time when our bodies are put to the test. Colder weather, crowded spaces and a lack of natural sunlight create the ideal conditions for seasonal fatigue and unwanted germs.

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.

Why is a good night’s sleep your secret superpower, and how can you finally treat yourself to it?

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. In today’s fast-paced world, we’ve somehow got used to seeing a lack of sleep as a normal price to pay and part of modern life. The truth, however, is that sleep is neither a luxury nor a passive waste of time. It is a fundamental pillar of our physical health and our inner mental balance and well-being. 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.

Why is a good night’s sleep your secret superpower, and how can you finally treat yourself to it?

Probably everyone who has seen the excellent series Chernobyl remembers the scene where the female lead in the Belarusian ministry gives iodine tablets to her secretary, who incidentally tells her that she is pregnant. Iodine is a chemical element that our body needs for the thyroid gland to function properly. And anyone who has thyroid problems knows how much it affects the body. It is necessary to understand how complex our body is and what needs to be done to stay healthy and functional.

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.

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.

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.

Innovative LIPO C (Liposomal Vitamin C)

Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) has long been recognised as capable of improving immune function and reducing the severity and duration of colds and flu. It is widely known that vitamin C is essential for optimal immune system function and overall health. This is confirmed by the fact that vitamin C is one of the most popular and widely used dietary supplements worldwide. It is precisely the low content of this vitamin in processed foods that requires its regular supplementation. In addition to strengthening immunity and shortening the duration of colds, it plays an important role in wound healing, improving brain function and supporting bone strength.

Let Yourself Shine with B2

„Žltá iskra“, ktorá poháňa naše telo, je vitamín B2 – riboflavín (z latinského flavus „žltý“) , ktorý bol prvýkrát izolovaný z mlieka a pôvodne pomenovaný laktoflavín. Jeho jednoznačne lepšie ste si vedci vďaka jeho prirodzenej fluorescencii pod UV svetlom, čo im pomohlo pochopiť jeho rozšírenie v prírode. Pozornosť vedcov však nepritiahlo len jeho tajomné svetlo. Má schopnosť premieňať jedlo na životnú silu. Riboflavín, známy aj ako vitamín B2, nie je len pekná fluorescenčná molekula, ale je dôležitý aj v bunkovom metabolizme.

Greater nasturtium – a beauty with the power of antibiotics

Monk’s cress is an older name for nasturtium (Tropaeolum majus), whose medicinal properties were already known in the 16th century. The appearance of the flowers and the name are a reference to the traditional robes of monks. It originally grew in the Andes, where indigenous tribes used it for healing, to boost strength and to aid recovery. Later, people from across the region would visit herbalists to seek out its medicinal heritage: decoctions, ointments and teas, as they understood the secrets of nature better than anyone else. In our grandmother’s herbarium, we found a description of the capuchin flower: a flowering panacea that does no harm, only helps. Today, we too can benefit from this traditional wisdom, and its benefits are scientifically proven. If you pluck a leaf from the nasturtium, the plant immediately activates a rapid regeneration mechanism and begins to ‘heal its wounds’ and continue growing. Thanks to its wide range of bioactive compounds and nutritional benefits, it is a valuable component of natural medicine and disease prevention. Modern science has discovered a wealth of beneficial substances in its leaves, flowers and seeds.

Aromatic, spicy and unmistakable. When a cold is coming on, most of us automatically reach for a cup of hot tea with fresh ginger, honey and lemon. But did you know that this knobbly underground stem gem harbours properties that go far beyond treating a cold?

K2 as a GPS

“Calcium on its own isn’t enough; it can even be harmful to your health.” What sort of conspiracy theory is this, you might think... After all, we need calcium for our bones, our teeth… but if we were to read the specialist literature, we’d find out… yes, calcium is important, but only if it knows where it’s supposed to be. Because when it wanders around the body unchecked, it can ‘park’ itself in the arteries, kidneys or joints. Calcium in the arteries contributes to their hardening (calcification), thereby increasing the risk of a heart attack, stroke or high blood pressure. This is where vitamin K2 comes to the rescue. It activates a protein called Matrix GLA protein, which ‘cleans’ the blood vessels by preventing calcium from being deposited in their walls. At the same time, it activates osteocalcin, which ensures that calcium goes where it is needed. This is precisely why vitamin K2 is essential – it acts as a GPS for calcium. With its special ability to regulate calcium transport – and not just any old way – it literally acts as a navigator for calcium, ensuring it doesn’t end up where it doesn’t belong (in the arteries), but is directed to where it’s needed: in the bones and teeth. The most effective form of vitamin K2 is MK-7 (menaquinone); although it sounds like a supporting character, it is a systems operator (the sort who doesn’t take the stage at meetings, but without whom the whole company would collapse). Scientists aren’t exactly the sort to follow trends; they don’t always agree, but in the case of vitamin K2, also known as MK-7, they report that this vitamin has many benefits:

The sun’s shining, but you’re lacking ‘D’? Why you shouldn’t put off taking vitamin D until summer

Summer is in full swing, the temperatures outside are like a scorching oven, and as you look at that little bottle of vitamin D that has faithfully seen you through the whole winter, you say: “Right then, mate, you’re on holiday until October!” It sounds perfectly logical, after all. Vitamin D is the ‘sunshine vitamin’; there’s plenty of sunshine outside, so surely our bodies must be producing it with the greatest of ease.
