Vitamins and minerals are the foundation of a balanced nutrient intake. Our formulations consistently rely on organically bound micronutrients, high-quality, certified ingredients, and carefully balanced dosages to ensure optimal absorption. This creates a high-quality foundation for your daily nutritional needs.
Vitamins are organic compounds which, with a few exceptions, the body cannot produce itself. They must therefore be obtained regularly through diet. A distinction is made between fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) and water-soluble vitamins (e.g. vitamin C and B vitamins).
Minerals and trace elements are inorganic nutrients. Minerals such as calcium, magnesium and potassium are found in the body in larger quantities, whereas trace elements such as iron, zinc and selenium are required only in small amounts – yet play an equally important role.
In addition to energy metabolism, immune function and hormonal regulation, they perform numerous other functions:
They rarely operate in isolation, but rather within complex networks.
The need for micronutrients varies from person to person and can differ depending on one’s stage of life or circumstances:
Certain medical conditions or medications can also affect absorption or utilisation.
Many B vitamins, magnesium and certain trace elements play a direct role in energy metabolism. They support enzymatic processes in the mitochondria – the ‘powerhouses’ of the cells – and enable the efficient production of ATP. Furthermore, they are essential for:
A stable supply of micronutrients is therefore crucial for physical performance, concentration and general vitality.
Vitamins such as vitamin C and vitamin D, as well as trace elements such as zinc and selenium, contribute to the normal functioning of the immune system. They support the activity of immune cells and play a role in regulating inflammatory processes.
At the same time, they play a key role in the body’s antioxidant defence system. Oxidative stress is caused by factors such as environmental pollution, intense physical activity or chronic stress. Micronutrients with antioxidant properties help to neutralise free radicals and protect cellular structures.
Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot produce in sufficient quantities on its own. Minerals are inorganic nutrients. When they are required in larger quantities (e.g. magnesium, calcium), they are referred to as minerals; when required in very small quantities (e.g. iron, zinc, selenium), they are referred to as trace elements.
The body cannot store many micronutrients, or can only store limited amounts. As they play a key role in central regulatory processes, a continuous supply through diet or targeted supplementation is essential.
A varied, unprocessed diet is the best foundation. However, factors such as stress, intense physical activity, pregnancy, limited exposure to sunlight or specific dietary patterns can increase your requirements. In such cases, taking a supplement may be advisable.
People with an unbalanced diet, vegetarians or vegans (e.g. vitamin B12), older people (e.g. vitamin D), pregnant women (e.g. folic acid, iron), as well as those who are physically active or under significant stress, often have increased nutritional requirements.
Yes. Key factors include the quality of the raw materials, bioavailability, appropriate dosage and the combination of ingredients. High-quality supplements rely on easily absorbed compounds and avoid unnecessary additives.
Many micronutrients work together and complement one another. However, it is important to ensure the correct dosage and a balanced ratio, as certain minerals can affect each others absorption.
Non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, difficulty concentrating, brittle nails or reduced stamina may be indicative of a deficiency. Targeted laboratory tests can provide clarity regarding an individuals nutritional status.
Yes. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) are stored in the body and should not be taken in excessive doses over a long period. Water-soluble vitamins (e.g. vitamin C, B vitamins) are usually excreted when in excess and must be consumed regularly.
