Iron - the secret of your health and energy
Imagine your body as a factory working at full capacity, providing energy, growth, and cell repair, with iron as the fuel that keeps it running. If iron reserves are depleted, you immediately feel tired, weak, have heart palpitations, or paler skin. Other symptoms of iron deficiency include brittle nails, dry hair, shortness of breath, sleep problems, reduced concentration, cold extremities, increased susceptibility to infections, and anemia (a lack of red blood cells caused by too little iron in the body) manifesting as extreme fatigue. In anemia, the body is not adequately supplied with oxygen and tires quickly. A signal of iron deficiency may also be bruising, as this mineral plays an important role in the production of hemoglobin, which supports the proper function of platelets.
Vitamin B2 Riboflavin
Besides the well-known B-Complex mix of B vitamins, individual vitamins can also be purchased as solo supplements. Why is this good? The well-known set of B vitamins is a suitable dietary supplement if you have an overall deficiency of vitamins in the body. However, if you are dealing with a specific problem, it is sometimes more appropriate to reach for the exact type of vitamin you need to supplement. So why is vitamin B2 needed?
MSM (Organosulfur) .... multifunctional supplement
Did you know that sulfur is as essential for our body as vitamins and minerals? One of its most significant sources is a substance called methylsulfonylmethane, abbreviated MSM. Despite the name sounding like it came from a chemistry textbook, it is a natural compound of paramount importance for the proper functioning of the organism. MSM naturally occurs in the blood, tissues, and organs, where it supports the production of substances, such as amino acids - glutathione, cysteine, and methionine. This organic sulfur compound, also known as organosulfur, is particularly effective in combating oxidative stress, inflammation, and body regeneration. Its sources can be natural foods. Organic sulfur compounds, such as allicin in garlic, have broad health applications, and MSM is unique in that it offers comprehensive support from joint health to immunity enhancement.
Lady's Mantle ... from the past to the present ...
Derived from the Latin word "Alchemilla" related to alchemy. Alchemists believed in the miraculous power of the water drops in its leaves 'heavenly water,' (symbolizing purity and the mystery of nature) which were supposed to help them achieve eternal youth or turn ordinary metal into gold. They devoted much attention to lady's mantle, which led not only to its naming but more importantly to the discovery of its medicinal properties. Today's world relies on the proven health benefits this medicinal plant offers.
Liver and Gallbladder Balm - Dandelion
Dandelion (in Slovak, 'púpava', Latin, Taraxacum officinale, also known as milkweed, smotánka, májik) is a well-known and ubiquitous weed (especially when it randomly appears overnight on a perfectly manicured lawn, even sprouting through cracks in asphalt), but foremost, it is a healing plant with a long history of use in herbal medicine. The milky tubes contain white sap that hardens in the air andleaves colorful stains on hands. Dandelion seeds can travel kilometers. It is among the longest-blooming plants, wholly edible, albeit having a not very pleasant bitter taste.
B5 - Guardian of Vitality and Beauty
“Is it just another vitamin... or?” one might think, but the more we learn about pantothenic acid, the more it fascinates us. Vitamin B5 plays a crucial role in converting food into energy, supports concentration, mental well-being, and even skin regeneration. Without it, the body would not be able to properly produce hormones or fight stress. It is also a substance that is hidden in every cell of our body, accompanies us from birth, and contributes to sufficient energy, skin health, and mental acuity. Although we may overlook it, its importance is undeniable, and its name is no coincidence. It comes from the Greek word “panto”, meaning “everywhere.” And indeed, it is omnipresent, irreplaceable, and somewhat mysterious. If we start exploring where this essential vitamin is found, it's in eggs, nuts, whole grains, shellfish, avocados, salmon, liver, kidneys, beef, yeast, vegetables... And if we've just realized that our diet is low in these foods, we should consider supplementing B5. After just a few days, we would notice a change. We would wake up with more energy, have a clearer mind, and even see an improvement in our skin. Colleagues would notice that we work faster, are more creative, and less stressed. Pantothenic acid will help us get back in shape. And for us, it will no longer be just another substance on the list of vitamins.
