Omega 3 protects your cardiovascular system
In every old movie, there's a scene where grandma or grandpa makes little children drink a spoon of fish oil every morning. The children hate it; it tastes horrible. "But you'll be healthy!" - say the caring grandparents. Where did this come from? Well, it's still valid, except science has managed to turn miraculous fish oil into "ordinary" tablets or extracts with a more normal taste.
Choline and Inositol
Choline and Inositol - two words you probably haven't heard before. In the world of dietary supplements, however, they are an important combination of B vitamins, which are actually not vitamins. They are substances very similar to vitamins which support liver function and lipid metabolism - that is, fat metabolism. Choline is a water-soluble vitamin analogue. It is found in lecithin, which is common in many plant and animal tissues. Choline is a precursor for the neurotransmitter (i.e., carrier) acetylcholine - which is involved in many memory and muscle functions.
Vitamin A - and I see...
Vitamin A - Retinol, was discovered in 1916. But it was not until 15 years later that its chemical structure was determined. And it took another 15 years before we learned to produce it synthetically (in the form of acetate). It is relatively rare in dietary supplement stores, which is strange because its deficiency can lead to night blindness.
Reishi - the mushroom of immortality
Reishi, a mushroom used for over 4000 years. The divine mushroom of immortality - in the past, it was believed to revive even the dead. It holds its significant place especially in Chinese medicine (under the name lingzhi), where it was mentioned in writing as early as 200 BC. Entire armies were designated to search for it, as the Chinese imperial court believed it could be used to concoct the elixir of immortality. The Slovak name might not tell you much - Leskokôrka brown-red, is actually a wood-decaying parasitic mushroom, living mostly on injured trees. It has a vast spectrum of biologically active substances. Its effects are also described in the professional encyclopedia Mushrooms as medicine.
Lady's Mantle ... from the past to the present ...

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.
Women's balance important for every woman
We can probably agree that the female body and its hormonal balance are far more complicated than the male body. In addition to other factors, a woman's monthly cycle significantly affects her. Therefore, it is much more important to monitor all the necessary substances and hormones if a woman wants to live a balanced, satisfied life, whether in terms of health or mental well-being.
