Vitamins & Minerals

Why do you need vitamins and minerals so much?

Imagine the best, most modern sports car. Even if you pour the highest quality fuel into it, without engine oil, coolant, and a charged battery, it won't get far. Vitamins and minerals are to your body what these fluids and electricity are to a car. They are absolutely essential for everything to work smoothly, efficiently, and without fail.

They act as catalysts, or "accelerators" of chemical reactions. Without them, energy production, the building of new cells, tissue repair, or defense against viruses would be impossible or extremely inefficient. Unfortunately, the modern lifestyle, stress, and even barren, depleted soils mean that even a seemingly healthy diet may not provide us with all the necessary micronutrients in optimal quantities. Smart supplementation is not a shortcut, but a wise and responsible way to fill these gaps.

Key benefits you will feel when using vitamins and minerals

Supplementing with vitamins and minerals is not an abstract idea. It is an action that brings very real and noticeable benefits, improving the quality of your life on many levels.

Energy for every day – turn fatigue into natural power

Do you feel sluggish and lacking in energy, even after a good night's sleep? The culprit may be a deficiency of B vitamins, especially B12 and B6. It is they who are the key players in the process of converting food (carbohydrates, fats, and proteins) into pure, useful energy for your cells. Regularly replenishing their levels is like turning on an additional, efficient power generator in your body. You will feel the difference in the form of a stable energy level throughout the day, without sudden crashes and the need to reach for another cup of coffee.

Reliable immunity – your shield against infections

Are you tired of constantly catching colds and feeling that any virus knocks you off your feet? It's time to strengthen your defense army! Vitamin C and zinc are a legendary duo that acts like the generals of your immune system. Vitamin C increases the production and activity of white blood cells – your soldiers fighting pathogens. Zinc is essential for the proper development and functioning of immune cells. Regularly supplying these two ingredients makes your body in constant readiness to repel an attack and recover much faster after an infection. Winter will no longer be scary!

Strong bones and joints – a solid foundation for long-term health

Your bones are living, dynamic tissue that is constantly being rebuilt. To maintain density and strength, they need two key ingredients: calcium – the basic building block, and vitamin D – which acts like a key, opening the doors for cells to absorb this calcium. Without an adequate amount of vitamin D, even the largest supply of calcium will be in vain. By ensuring proper supplementation, you are investing in your future, preventing osteoporosis and other problems with the skeletal system. Remember that strong bones are the foundation of your fitness for decades.

Better skin, hair, and nails – beauty that radiates from within

Are you spending a fortune on expensive cosmetics, and the effects are still not satisfactory? True beauty begins with nourishing the cells from the inside. Biotin (vitamin B7), vitamin E, and the synergistically acting collagen are a trio that your skin, hair, and nails will love. Biotin strengthens nails and prevents hair loss. Vitamin E, the "vitamin of youth," as a powerful antioxidant, protects the skin from the harmful effects of free radicals. By providing your body with these natural "beauty enhancers," you are giving yourself the most effective cosmetic treatment.

A guide to the most important vitamins and minerals – find what you need

The world of micronutrients is rich and diverse. Below we present the key players that you will find in our offer.

Vitamin C – the guardian of immunity and youth

Essential for collagen production, a powerful antioxidant, a destroyer of free radicals, and the absolute foundation of a healthy immune system. It also helps in the absorption of iron.

Vitamin D – the sunshine vitamin for bones and a good mood

Crucial for the health of bones and teeth, it supports immunity and plays an important role in mood regulation. Its deficiency in our latitude is common, which is why supplementation is often a necessity.

B vitamins – Your personal power plant

This is a whole family of vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) that work as a well-coordinated team in energy production processes. They support the nervous system, brain functions, and help reduce the feeling of fatigue.

Magnesium – the mineral of relaxation and energy

It is involved in over 300 reactions in the body. It is crucial for muscle function (prevents cramps), heart health, proper blood pressure, and also for the nervous system – it helps fight stress and facilitates falling asleep.

Calcium and Potassium – a duo for strong bones and electrolyte balance

Calcium is the main building block of bones and teeth. Potassium is a key electrolyte that regulates the body's water balance, blood pressure, and is essential for the proper functioning of the heart and muscles.

Chromium – support in controlling sugar cravings

This trace element plays an important role in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats. It helps to sensitize cells to insulin, which translates into the stabilization of blood sugar levels and can help curb hunger attacks, especially cravings for sweets.

ZMA – a regenerative trio for active people

This is a specialized formula, combining zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Created with athletes and physically active people in mind, ZMA supports deep nocturnal regeneration, can contribute to optimizing testosterone levels, and improves sleep quality, which is crucial for muscle repair and building.

Gender-specific supplementation – why do the needs of women and men differ?

Although the basic needs for vitamins and minerals are similar, biology and physiology mean that there are some key differences in the needs of women and men.

Vitamins and minerals for women – support at every stage of life

A woman's body goes through cyclical changes that generate specific needs. Iron is extremely important due to its loss during menstruation. Folic acid (vitamin B9) is key during the reproductive period. In turn, after menopause, the need for calcium and vitamin D increases to protect bones from loss of density. Our formulas for women take these unique needs into account, providing balanced support.

Vitamins and minerals for men – strength, energy, and vitality

Men, often having more muscle mass and a faster metabolism, have a higher need for B vitamins for energy production. Zinc is especially important for them, as it plays a key role in maintaining proper testosterone levels. In turn, selenium supports prostate health and acts as a powerful antioxidant. The formulas for men are composed to support their vitality, performance, and health.

Do I have to take vitamins and minerals if I eat a healthy diet?

Even the healthiest diet may not cover 100% of the need for all micronutrients. Food processing, soil depletion, as well as an increased demand of the body during periods of stress or increased physical exertion, create gaps that intelligent supplementation can effectively fill.

When is the best time to take vitamins? In the morning or in the evening?

Generally, B vitamins and multivitamins are best taken in the morning, with breakfast, because they have an energizing effect. Fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K) should also be taken with a meal containing fat to increase their absorption. Minerals such as magnesium or calcium can be successfully taken in the evening, as they promote relaxation and regeneration.

Can you overdose on vitamins?

Yes, it is possible, especially in the case of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E, K), which the body stores. Water-soluble vitamins (B group, C) are more difficult to overdose on, as their excess is excreted in the urine. You should always stick to the doses recommended on the product label and not exceed them without consulting a specialist.

What is ZMA and is it only for athletes?

ZMA is a combination of zinc, magnesium, and vitamin B6. Although it is extremely popular among athletes due to its properties supporting regeneration and sleep, it can be beneficial for any person exposed to high stress or intense physical exertion who wants to improve the quality of their sleep and supplement deficiencies of these key ingredients.
