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.
Horčík - najdôležitejší minerál?
Ak sa opýtate akúkoľvek športovú disciplínu (najmä vytrvalostné športy), aký výživový doplnok má na súťaž vždy pri sebe, tak najčastejšia odpoveď bude "magnésko". Magnézium - horčík , je totiž určite jeden z posledných minerálov pre naše telo. Prítom ide o tzv. "nedostatkový" minerál, pretože ho z tela vylučujeme pri nadmernej záťaži, ale aj keď necvičíte! Stačí život v hluku, stres, záťaž...
Omega 3, precious message of the sea
Do you long to wake up with ease in the morning, look fresher, not feel joint pain, have more energy, be able to focus, and feel better in your body? We could find the solution from fishermen who got up earlier than the sun each morning, went out to the sea, and greeted the new day with a smile. These were men who never knew the doctor, had sharp minds even in old age, their hands still firmly held the fishing nets and they lived functional longevity, often working into their 90s. The fishermen's treasure was exactly fish oil, which works similarly to a lubricant for our body: it helps the heart pump blood, keeps the mind fresh, and joints flexible, without it, the joints would be like an old creaking ship. The message that the sea gives us what we need was conveyed to future generations because some gifts of health are too precious to keep to oneself.

Železo - liek na mladosť
Kto má rád svalnatého Arnolda Swarzeneggera, určite videl dokument Pumping Iron - Dvíhanie železa o jeho zložitých premene z chudého tínedžera až na absolútny telesný Olymp. Jeho muskulatúra je obdivuhodná dodnes. A pomohlo mu ku tomu obyčajné železo. Samozrejme - ide o vtip, na železo hlavne dvíhal. Avšak ku tomu, aby jeho svaly vyzerali ako tie Herkulove, potreboval železo v úplne inej forme.
B3 - example that food is medicine
Niacin was long considered a mere part of the diet until it was discovered that its deficiency causes skin, digestive, and mental problems known as pellagra. Doctor Goldberger proved that the cause of this disease is not an infection but a one-sided diet without vitamin B3. He conducted an experiment on himself and his colleagues, who consumed exclusively poor diets and began to show symptoms of pellagra. However, when they added nutrients rich in niacin to their diet, the symptoms disappeared. In 1937, niacin was isolated from the liver, confirming its importance and nutritional value.
