Why are vitamins and minerals important?
Vitamins and minerals are essential for the normal functioning of the body. They support, among other things, the immune system, metabolism, the functioning of the nervous system and muscles, as well as bone health.

Folate, vitamin A, carotenoids, vitamin E alpha-tocopherol, vitamin K

Recommendations for the intake of vitamins and minerals vary according to age, gender, and life situation. For example, vegetarians, pregnant women, and those who exercise actively may need more of certain nutrients than usual.

Deficiencies can cause a variety of symptoms, such as fatigue, muscle cramps, difficulty concentrating, or weakening of the immune system. On the other hand, excessive intake can also be harmful, so a balanced diet is key.

Water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins – what is the difference between them?
Vitamins are divided into water-soluble and fat-soluble based on their absorption and storage.

Water-soluble vitamins (such as vitamin C and B vitamins) are not stored in the body for a long time, so they must be regularly obtained from food. They participate, among other things, in energy metabolism, nervous system function, and immunity.
Fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E, and K) are stored in the body and are better absorbed when taken with fat. They are important, for example, for vision, skin, cell protection, and blood clotting.
