Calming Magnesium (Magnesium Bisglycinate)
Magnesium is an essential mineral for the proper functioning of the body. The name magnesium originates from the Greek city of Magnesia, where this element was first discovered in 1755. It is the 8th most abundant element on Earth, constituting about 2% of the Earth's crust. It has a naturally sour taste, which is also present in mineral waters. We find it in every cell of a green plant, and (magnesium ions are present) 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 the correct heart rhythm, and blood pressure. It's hard to find a process in the body that magnesium does not affect.
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?
Is iodine a necessity? ... Iodine - Kelp
Iodine is a trace element, with an interesting role in health, which we associate with the thyroid gland. It occurs naturally in the marine environment and one of the richest natural sources of iodine is kelp seaweed, also known as "Bladderwrack, Norwegian Laminaria," which has been used in traditional medicine and cuisine for centuries. Kelp can absorb large amounts of iodine directly from the ocean. The body needs iodine to produce thyroid hormones, without which much more would not work ... our metabolism would not function properly, we would have little energy, and our minds would be dull.
Vitamin C + Rosehip + Bioflavonoids
Designed specifically for stronger antioxidant effects, better absorption and utilization, where the main role is played by rosehip, a natural source of vitamin C. Vitamin C known as ascorbic acid is a nutrient essential for the functioning of our body. Our body cannot synthesize this essential vitamin, so it must be obtained from foods such as fruits and vegetables like citrus fruits, cabbage, bell peppers, horseradish, broccoli, 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.
Lady's Mantle - Woman's Cloak
Common Alchemilla is a perennial herb that originates from England but has spread worldwide. Its leaves and flower tops have been used for centuries primarily to alleviate menstrual problems, hence it is often called "woman's cloak". It is also suitable for men as it effectively helps with diarrhea, laryngitis, bleeding gums, or as a gargle for inflammation of the larynx. Its name comes from Arabic, from the word al-kimia. Alchemists tried to make gold by transforming various metals, as well as incredibly ordinary things. One of the secret ingredients in gold-making was water, caught in the leaves of this plant. As far as we know - it didn't work...
