The interaction of all ingredients achieves the effect. Key functions include:
Vitamin K is involved in numerous metabolic functions. It participates in the blood clotting process and is needed to deposit calcium into the bones. Additionally, Vitamin K2 can lower cholesterol levels.
Vitamin B12 plays a role in cell division and is involved in the formation of red blood cells. With its help, DNA (genetic material) is correctly built and replicated. Moreover, Vitamin B12 supports the immune and nervous systems.
Biotin is required for the synthesis and breakdown of fatty acids and some amino acids, thus promoting healthy skin, hair, and nails. Additionally, it plays a central role in energy production from carbohydrates and fats. It is necessary for supplying muscles and nerves with energy. It is also needed for the synthesis of DNA and RNA molecules (cell growth and division) and supports nervous system function.
Potassium regulates the water-electrolyte balance and is needed for nerve impulse transmission and muscle contraction. Additionally, the mineral is required for transmitting information to muscle and nerve cells. Potassium regulates blood pressure and heart rate.
Calcium: A large portion of calcium is found in the bones and teeth, where it is essential for their stability. A small portion is involved in blood clotting, muscle and nerve stimulation, and the activation of enzymes (especially digestive enzymes) and hormones. Additionally, it is involved in energy metabolism.
Zinc promotes immune defense, wound healing, and insulin storage. It acts as an antioxidant and is involved in vitamin A metabolism. As a cofactor for over 300 enzymes, zinc regulates the synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and nucleic acids. It is also involved in the formation of neurotransmitters, insulin production, cell growth, and hormone metabolism.
Selenium: The trace element has antioxidant properties, protecting cells from free radicals. Additionally, it promotes the body's defense mechanisms. It supports the production and activation of thyroid hormones and enhances the effects of vitamin E.
Boron has anti-inflammatory effects and influences brain function. Additionally, boron reduces calcium and magnesium loss through urine. It is involved in the formation of hormones such as estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D hormone. Thus, boron increases bone stability among other effects.
Silicon: The trace element supports the biosynthesis of bone and cartilage matrix and promotes the health of hair and nails. Additionally, it supports the body in maintaining its water balance and is of great importance for the elasticity and strength of the skin, connective tissue, and blood vessels. The immune system is also supported by silicon, as it increases the number of defense cells.
Alpha-lipoic acid has strong antioxidant properties. It is both water and fat-soluble and can therefore efficiently pass through cell membranes and cross the blood-brain barrier. It acts as a scavenger of free radicals and can support the elimination of foreign substances. It protects mitochondria from oxidative stress.
Coenzyme Q10 is a very effective antioxidant that can regenerate oxidized vitamin E. Furthermore, the coenzyme promotes the stabilization of cell membranes, increases immune competence, and is necessary for normal heart function.
L-Arginine: The human body can produce nitric oxide from L-arginine, which is important for the flexibility of blood vessels and thus for blood circulation, as it regulates vessel tension or width. Arginine is also involved in the synthesis of proteins, collagen, and sperm, as well as the release of hormones.
L-Cysteine is said to have a positive effect on skin, hair, bones, cartilage, and connective tissue. Cysteine has antioxidant, detoxifying, and cell-protective properties. The immune system is also strengthened because cysteine is involved in the formation of defense cells.
Taurine acts as a neurotransmitter in the brain, supports nerve functions, regulates heart rate and blood pressure, participates in fat metabolism, supports the immune system, and as an antioxidant protects cells from oxidative damage.
Curcumin has strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, antimicrobial, and blood lipid-lowering effects. It protects vessels and nerves and reduces bone resorption.
OPC proanthocyanidins are found in grape seed extract and have particularly high antioxidant capacity, strengthen the immune system, and have anti-inflammatory, blood pressure-lowering, and blood-thinning effects.
