Also known as thiamine, the vitamin B1 is part of a coenzyme that is needed for energy production, mainly from the carbohydrates we eat. It also participates in the transmission of nerve impulses and promotes normal growth.

Vitamin D is closely involved in the health of bones and teeth by making calcium and phosphorus available in the blood, plus other things in order to grow the bone structure. The vitamin D also plays a role in the maturation of cells, including those of the immune system.

As a major antioxidant, the vitamin E protects the membrane that surrounds the cells of the body, particularly red blood cells and white blood cells (immune system cells).

Also referred to as vitamin B5, the pantothenic acid is part of a vital coenzyme that allows us to use the energy of the food we eat. It also participates in several phases of the synthesis (Production) of steroid hormones, neurotransmitters and hemoglobin.

This mineral works with one of the main antioxidant enzymes, preventing the formation of free radicals in the body. It also helps to convert thyroid hormones into their active form.

This vitamin works with vitamin B9 (folic acid) to produce red blood cells in the blood. It also maintains the nerve cells and the cells making the bone tissue.

The phosphorus is the second most abundant mineral in the body after the calcium. It plays a vital role in the formation and maintenance of healthy bones and teeth. In addition, it participates among other things in the growth and regeneration of tissues and helps regulating the pH of the blood. Finally, the phosphorus is one of the constituents of cell membranes.

Also known as pyridoxine, it is part of the coenzymes that participate in the metabolism of proteins and fatty acids as well as the synthesis (production) of neurotransmitters (messengers in nerve impulses). It also interacts in the production of red blood cells and allows them to carry more oxygen. The pyridoxine is also necessary for the transformation of glycogen into glucose and it contributes to the proper functioning of the immune system. This vitamin has also a role in the formation of certain components of nerve cells and in the modulation of hormonal receptors.

This vitamin is also known as riboflavin. Like vitamin B1, it plays a role in the energy metabolism of all cells. In addition, it contributes to the growth and repair of tissues, the production of hormones and the formation of red blood cells.

Also called niacin, the vitamin B3 participates in many metabolic reactions and contributes particularly to the production of energy from carbohydrates, lipids, proteins and alcohol that we ingest. It also contributes in the process of DNA formation, allowing normal growth and development.

The magnesium participate in bone development, protein formation, enzymatic actions, muscle contraction, dental health, and the functioning of the immune system. It also plays a role in the metabolism of energy and in the transmission of nerve impulses.

It balances the pH of the blood in the body and stimulate the stomach to produce hydrochloric acid, thus promoting digestion. In addition, it facilitates the contraction of muscles, including the heart, and collaborates in the transmission of nerve impulses.

Zinc participates in the immune system reactions, the production of genetic material, the taste perception, the wound healing and the fetal development. It also interacts with sexual and thyroid hormones. In the pancreas, it participates in the production, storage and release of insulin.
