... to feel content and happy in your body
Why exactly collagen + C + hyaluronic acid? In short, it is an elixir of youth, this precisely characterizes the combination of 3 powerful antioxidants. By interconnecting the components, health support is increased, not just for the skin (as it may seem). Already in youth, the amount of collagen and hyaluronic acid decreases. With this trio, we safely help to replenish them and achieve healthy skin, bones, joints, veins, strong hair, and nails. Vitamin C is necessary for the biosynthesis of collagen (also for protein metabolism) and its effective usability. Let's break it down, because it literally applies here that everything is related...
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.
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.
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.
