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!

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.

Histamine is often perceived negatively, especially for its role in allergic reactions and intolerance. As with many things in life, black-and-white thinking is not suitable for this biogenic amine. As a neurotransmitter, it participates in many critical processes. In defending the body, for example, it supports the enlargement of blood vessels, making it easier for immune cells to access the site of inflammation. At the same time, it stimulates the production of gastric juices (essential for food processing), regulates the sleep cycle, controls appetite, and plays a role in learning, memory, and emotions. Histamine naturally occurs in the human body, and its balance is crucial for health. In the digestive system, it's broken down by the enzyme diamine oxidase. However, if histamine intake is greater than the body can break down, histamine intolerance develops. This imbalance can be caused by stress, poor lifestyle, medicines, or other factors. Excess histamine can lead to unpleasant symptoms, often resembling food allergies or digestive issues. It's essential to understand histamine as an important helper in our body.

The fungus can survive in it for a long time. The fungus literally takes over the host's body, growing out of it in the summer and forming slender "sticks" 5-20 cm high.

Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), also known as vitamin B10 (although it is not officially a vitamin), is one of the key nutrients that support the health of the hair, skin and the body’s overall vitality. Furthermore, it may also influence the ageing process. Despite its beneficial effects, it is less well known today, although in the past it was regarded as almost a miracle cure for maintaining youthfulness. In the 1950s, scientists investigated PABA for its potential in combating degenerative diseases and recorded cases where it had slowed down the greying of hair.

Magnesium is an important mineral for the proper functioning of the body. The name magnesium comes from the Greek city of Magnesia, where this element was originally discovered in 1755. It is the 8th most abundant element on earth, making up approximately 2% of the earth's crust. It has a naturally sour taste, which is also evident in mineral waters. It is found in every cell of green plants (magnesium ions are present) and also in every cell of the human body. Our body needs magnesium for more than 300 biochemical processes,such as energy production and nucleic acid synthesis, maintaining proper heart rhythm and blood pressure. It would be difficult to find a process in the body that magnesium does not influence.

It is found in every cell of green plants (magnesium ions are present) and also in every cell of the human body. Our body needs magnesium for more than 300 biochemical processes,such as energy production and nucleic acid synthesis, maintaining proper heart rhythm and blood pressure. It would be difficult to find a process in the body that magnesium does not influence.
Did you know that sulphur is just as essential for our bodies as vitamins and minerals? One of its most important sources is a substance called methylsulfonylmethane, or MSM for short. Although the name sounds like something out of a chemistry textbook, it is a natural substance that is essential for the proper functioning of the body. MSM occurs naturally in the blood, tissues and organs, where it supports substances such as the amino acids glutathione, cysteine and methionine. This organic sulphur compound, also known as organosulphur, is extremely effective in combating oxidative stress and inflammation and in regenerating the body. It can be sourced from natural foods. Organosulphur compounds, such as allicin in garlic, have a wide range of health benefits, and MSM is unique in that it offers comprehensive support from joint health to immunity boosting.

Choline and Inositol - two words you probably haven't heard before. In terms of supplements, however, these are important B-group nutritional supplements, which are actually vitamins. These substances are very similar to vitamins and support liver function and lipid metabolism, i.e. fat metabolism. Choline is a water-soluble vitamin. It is found in lecithin, which is common in many plant and animal tissues. Choline is a precursor to the neurotransmitter (i.e. transmitter) acetylcholine, which is involved in many memory and muscle functions.

This natural supplement contains a lesser-known plant called wild yam (Discorea villosa) from the Dioscoreaceae family. Let's get to know it ☺ There are more than 600 species of yam plants, the most prominent being wild yam (Dioscorea villosa). This hardy liana (vine) of equatorial regions has heart-shaped leaves. The leaves and roots contain diosgenin (the primary component), and it is the root that is used in medicine and in our supplements as a concentrated extract (highest yield), with a structure similar to cholesterol. This substance was used to produce the first contraceptive bases.

“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.

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.

Although synthetic caffeine and refined sugar give us an immediate energy boost, this rapid surge is often followed by a sharp crash, which is frequently even more severe than the initial high. Nature, however, offers us more sophisticated and gentler tools that support our bodies in naturally producing and maintaining energy.
When we talk about plants that have shaped modern medicine, few have left such a significant mark as the wild yam (Dioscorea villosa). This climbing plant with a woody root did not become famous for its taste, but for its unique chemical profile. Its true value lies in the molecules that literally ushered in the era of modern endocrinology and synthetic hormones.

Whilst vitamins often steal the limelight on food packaging and in adverts, there is another group of micronutrients without which our bodies would simply cease to function. These are minerals. These inorganic substances, derived from the earth and water, are literally the building blocks of our bodies. Not only do they form our bones and teeth, but they also act as catalysts that trigger thousands of enzymatic reactions, maintain our heart’s rhythm and ensure we have energy from the moment the alarm clock goes off in the morning until we fall asleep at night.

Digestive enzymes are specialised proteins that our body naturally produces in the digestive tract (e.g. in the salivary glands, stomach, pancreas and small intestine). Their main role is to break down complex molecules in food (proteins, fats and carbohydrates) into smaller components, which the body can then absorb through the intestinal walls into the bloodstream and use as energy or building blocks.

B vitamins are among the most important nutrients for our bodies – literally an ‘energy drink’ – and their complex effects influence energy levels, immunity and the nervous system, as well as the quality of our skin, hair and nails. The B-complex is the term used for the group of B vitamins, which are water-soluble and cannot be stored in the body (with the exception of B12), so it is essential to replenish them regularly, as a deficiency leads to a wide range of problems, whilst any excess is simply excreted from the body. Dr Lucullus’s Vitamin B-complex is unique in that it consists of eleven vitamins, working tirelessly for your health and ready to win even the toughest battle.

Drinking high-quality tea is slowly becoming a new trend.

It has gradually been replaced by wine, and it is now common for people to distinguish between dozens of different flavours, rather than the traditional division into white and red. As people travel more and more and get to know the world, they are also increasingly discovering the phenomenon of tea drinking.

Acerola, also known as the Barbados (West Indian) cherry, is an exotic fruit shrub that occasionally grows to the size of a tree (2–5 metres). This evergreen species, native to the tropical regions of South and Central America, is known not only for its attractive appearance but, above all, for its unique properties and high vitamin content. The acerola fruit is a small drupe weighing up to 15 g, which resembles a cherry in shape but has a much more sour taste. It ripens extremely quickly – in just 23 days – and is gaining attention thanks to its tart flavour, which gradually becomes sweeter. Interestingly, the rule ‘the riper, the better’ does not apply to acerola, as it is the less ripe fruits that contain the highest levels of nutrients. Acerola can be found under the Latin names Malpighia glabra, emarginata and punicifolia. It contains an extremely high amount of vitamin C, which even exceeds that found in rose hips.

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.
