Vitamins and Minerals

Vitamins and minerals are essential micronutrients, which are required for numerous vital functions in the human body. Among other things, they support energy metabolism, contribute to normal functioning of the immune system, muscles, and nerves, and play an important role in maintaining bone, skin, hair, and nails.

A balanced diet with an adequate supply of vitamins and minerals forms the basis for health and vitality in all phases of life. In certain situations in life or if there are increased requirements, targeted use of food supplements may be beneficial. On the other hand, a clinically relevant deficiency may result in specific complaints and health problems and targeted treatment with medication should be given.
