INGREDIENTS
ELECTROLYTES
Electrolytes are minerals that conduct electricity in the body. They play a crucial role in regulating fluid balance within and around cells.
Calcium
Bone Health: Calcium is crucial for building and maintaining strong bones and teeth. It’s essential when the bulk of bone mass is built, and throughout life to prevent bone loss. Muscle Function: Plays a key role in muscle contractions, including the beating of the heart. Nerve Transmission: It helps with transmitting information between brain cells and throughout the nervous system.
Magnesium
Enzyme Activation: Magnesium is a cofactor in over 300 enzyme systems that regulate diverse biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, and blood glucose control. Nervous System Support: It supports normal nerve function and acts on the nervous system to calm nerves and aid in relaxation. Magnesium also plays a significant role in the body's stress response system. It can help regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, which controls cortisol production. Adequate magnesium levels can help reduce cortisol levels and promote relaxation. Energy Production: Magnesium is essential for energy production at a cellular level.
Electrolytes: calcium, magnesium. Vitamins - niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), B6, B12, and C. Mineral - zinc
VITAMINS
Niacin (Vitamin B3)
Metabolism: Niacin helps convert food into energy by aiding enzymes in the breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Niacin can help improve digestion by supporting the function of the digestive system (gut health). Cholesterol Regulation: It is used to lower cholesterol levels, particularly to reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) and increase HDL (good cholesterol). Skin and Nerve Health: Niacin is also important for maintaining healthy skin and nerves.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5)
Coenzyme A Production: Essential for the production of Coenzyme A, a critical enzyme that is involved in numerous chemical reactions that generate energy from food. Synthesis of Essential Molecules: It plays a role in the synthesis of hormones, cholesterol, and neurotransmitters.
Vitamin B6
Protein Metabolism: Plays a crucial role in the metabolism of proteins, and is therefore particularly important in times of increased protein intake. Cognitive Development and Function: Helps in the production of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that carry signals from one nerve cell to another. Immune Function: B6 is involved in the immune system function and the production of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the blood.
Vitamin B12
Red Blood Cell Formation: Essential for the production of red blood cells, which prevent anemia. Nerve Function: Important for maintaining healthy nerve cells and producing DNA, the genetic material in all cells. Cognitive Health: Has been linked to improving memory and helping prevent brain atrophy.
Vitamin C
Antioxidant Protection: Acts as an antioxidant, protecting cells from the damage caused by free radicals. Collagen Synthesis: Crucial for the synthesis of collagen, a protein required to help wounds heal. Immune Defence: Enhances the immune system's ability to fight off infections and illnesses (strengthen immune system).
MINERALS
Zinc
Immune Function: Zinc is fundamental in maintaining a healthy immune system, reducing the duration and severity of cold symptoms, and supporting overall immune response. Wound Healing: Essential for cell division and growth, which are critical processes for wound healing and tissue repair. Protein and DNA Synthesis: Important for overall growth and development, zinc plays a role in the synthesis of proteins and DNA in the body.
