For people who have problems swallowing big tablets Vitamin C was discovered as one of the first vitamins at the beginning of the 20th century by the Hungarian Albert Szent-Györgyi. He isolated it from paprika and cabbage. The British chemist Walter Norman Haworth determined the molecular structure of the vitamin in 1933. Both received the Nobel Prize for Medicine and Chemistry in 1937. Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin that is naturally present in some foods, added to others and available as a dietary supplement. Unlike most animals, humans are unable to synthesise vitamin C, making it an essential part of a healthy diet. Function of vitamin C in the body Vitamin C is required by the body for the biosynthesis of collagen, L-carnitine and certain neurotransmitters. It is also involved in protein metabolism. Collagen is an essential component of connective tissue and supports normal functioning of blood vessels, cartilage, bones, skin, teeth and gums. Vitamin C is an important physiological antioxidant and has been shown to regenerate other antioxidants in the body, including the reduced form of vitamin E. It can protect cells from oxidative stress and respond to the immune system. The highest concentration of vitamin C in the body is found in the leukocytes (white blood cells), eyes, adrenal glands, pituitary gland and brain. Stomach-friendly form of vitamin C Calcium-L-ascorbate is a natural form of vitamin C. After consumption, it is hydrolysed in the stomach into calcium and ascorbate ions. The gastric acid converts the ascorbate ions into ascorbic acid. Thus there is no increase in the acid concentration in the stomach. Stomach-friendly vitamin C is also referred to as buffered vitamin C. Calcium ascorbate is a buffered salt form (mineral) of the water-soluble antioxidant vitamin C (ascorbic acid). The calcium is bound to ascorbic acid to buffer the acid nature of this vitamin, making it more gentle for the special needs of people with a sensitive gastrointestinal tract. The pH value of this buffered vitamin C is about 6.8 - 7.4 compared to ascorbic acid, which has a pH value of about 2.5. Calcium ascorbate powder: convenient consumption without additives Many people do not want or cannot swallow capsules, tablets or softgels for various reasons. Vitamin C as an ascorbate powder is particularly suitable for these people. It can be consumed with a meal with plenty of water or mixed with a cold liquid. 100% pure calcium-L-ascorbate powder without any additives convenient consumption as a powder stomach-friendly vitamin C activates the immune system contributes to normal collagen formation popular antioxidant vegetarian and vegan 100% pure without any additives

Vitamin E is the mother of all antioxidants Vitamin E is one of the fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin E has been considered an essential nutrient since 1968, although it has been known as a dietary component since the 1920s. Only plants can synthesize vitamin E themselves. However, since it also reaches animals via the food chain, albeit to a much lesser extent, the fat-soluble vitamin is found in all cell membranes, so that animal foods also contribute to the Cover demand. Absorption of vitamin E Vitamin E is absorbed in the upper small intestine, whereby this is always linked to fat digestion (fat-soluble vitamin). The absorption rate is increased by medium-chain fatty acids and reduced by polyunsaturated fatty acids such as e.g. B. linoleic acid, alpha-linolenic acid, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, oxidized, rancid fats, laxatives and absorption disorders in the intestine. Vitamin E as an antioxidant In the human body, vitamin E is primarily involved in cell protection. As an antioxidant, vitamin E is able to protect tissue and cells from free radicals. Free radicals are very reactive substances that can occur as intermediate products in the normal metabolism of every cell. If there is an excess, this is referred to as oxidative stress. Foods with vitamin E The best sources of vitamin E are vegetable oils such as olive oil, sunflower oil, wheat germ oil and corn oil. Nuts are also good sources of vitamin E. Walnuts and Brazil nuts should be mentioned here. Fish such as mackerel, lobster and trout stand out as animal sources.

Vitamin E oil: 100 IU per 3 drops This liquid vitamin E has been combined with lemon oil and is immediately absorbed by the skin when used topically. When ingested, it replenishes the vitamin E stores. The vegetable lemon oil used as a basis also ensures a pleasant smell and taste. You can not only use this vitamin E oil externally, but also consume undiluted, stir into drinks or mix with your food to fill the body with vitamin E from the inside to supply.

Vitavital: rich multivitamin Vitamins are organic compounds that the organism does not need as an energy source, but for other vital functions, which the metabolism cannot synthesize or can only synthesize to a limited extent. Vitamins must therefore be ingested with food because they are essential. Water soluble or fat soluble Vitamins are generally classified according to whether they are water-soluble (vitamins C and B vitamins) or fat-soluble (vitamins A, D, E, and K). While the body is able to store fat-soluble vitamins in the liver, fat or muscle tissue, and the adrenal glands, excess water-soluble vitamins will be excreted through the kidneys. The only exception is vitamin B12, which will stored in the liver. Vitamins for the immune system Although many vitamins are important for the function of the immune system, vitamin C (scientifically: ascorbic acid) is by far the best known and most popular. As soon as a cold is announced or the cold season is approaching, many people reach for the tried and tested "hot lemon". The idea behind it is the relatively high vitamin C content of the lemon, but the vitamin is the vitamin unfortunately very susceptible to heat and is already destroyed at temperatures above 40° degrees. For this reason, it makes more sense to use other types of fruit or vegetables that can be eaten without exposure to heat. Food supplements that provide you with high doses of vitamin C are also a good alternative. Vitamins A and D and the B vitamins B6, B12 and B9 also support the immune system . Vitamins for the nervous system and energy B vitamins are known to be essential for the functioning of the nervous system, among other things. B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B6 ​​(pyridoxine), B12 (cobalamin) and B7 (biotin) should be mentioned here. In the nervous system, they are responsible for To protect nerve cells and to support regeneration as well as transmitting nerve stimuli. They are also important for cognitive functions and mental balance. Another important function that B vitamins play a role in is energy metabolism. They ensure that the macronutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins) in food are converted into energy, which the body needs for a variety of tasks. These include, for example, maintaining body temperature, organ function and movement. Vitamins for cell protection A number of vitamins also have antioxidant properties. Vitamin E and vitamin C are particularly well known for this, but thiamine (B1) and riboflavin (B2) are also able to neutralize excess free radicals and thus the cells in the to protect organisms. Vitamins for the skin The best known and most popular vitamin when it comes to skin health is biotin (vitamin B7). Since it also ensures beautiful, strong hair, it is also known as the "beauty vitamin". Vitamin A, B2 and B3 are also essential micronutrients for both the skin and the mucous membrane. Carotenoids The fat-soluble pigments can be found in a large number of plants, but also in animals. Beta-carotene from vegetables and fruits is known to most people as a precursor of vitamin A, but nature also has a lot of other carotenoids that are interesting for the human organism . Lycopene, a carotenoid from tomatoes or rose hips, has antioxidant properties and can help to curb free radicals. The two carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin, for example, come from the marigold flowers. They can be found in the organism as pigments in the retina, especially in the yellow spot (macula). In plants, the two pigments have the task of protecting the plant cells from high levels of light. Polyphenols The polyphenols quercetin, hesperidin and rutin belong to the subgroup of flavonoids, which are also said to have antioxidant properties. They are found as coloring agents in a number of plants and fruits.

Yam root with vitamins and trace elements Botanical: Dioscorea Chinese: Huang YaoZi Sanskrit: Vidarikand German: Yamsroot English: Yams root, Dioscorea The yam is one of the starchy vegetables. It is a tuber of the Dioscoreaceae family and is available in over 800 different species. The yam root is widespread in the tropics, where it is mostly cultivated as a crop. The main growing areas are currently in Africa, more precisely in Nigeria, the Ivory Coast and Ghana. However, the root is also grown in Haiti and Colombia. Under the ground, the yam usually reaches a size of 2 meters and a weight of about 60kg. Although the roots bear close resemblance to sweet potatoes, they are not related to them. While the yam is rather rare to buy in European countries, it is common in Africa, South America and the Caribbean a firm place in regional cuisine and are considered an important supplier of starch (carbohydrates). What's in the yam? The dioscorea root primarily provides complex carbohydrates, which are digested more slowly by the body and therefore do not cause blood sugar levels to spike. In addition, the root contains soluble fiber and B vitamins (riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid and folic acid). Vitamin C can also be found, as well as the minerals calcium, magnesium, potassium, copper, manganese and iron. The most interesting ingredient, however, is diosgenin. strong>. This is a steroid sapogenin. Steroids belong to the lipid family and have received a bad rap from abuse in the bodybuilding field. However, they are harmless in the quantities that are produced in the organism and have a number of important functions. The best-known steroid is cholesterol, from which steroid hormones such as vitamin D (calcitriol), cortisol and sex hormones are produced. Sapogenins belong to the triterpenes and are common plant substances. The wild yam extract in this product is standardized to 20% diosgenin which equals 60mg per capsule. Antioxidants Everyone has heard of free radicals by now and knows that an excess in the body can damage cells. Free radicals are highly reactive and aggressive oxygen molecules that arise as intermediate products in our metabolism and which in small amounts are even important, especially for the function of our immune system. The body is normally able to neutralize free radicals, but external influences contribute to the rapid multiplication of radicals, i.e. to oxidative stress. These include, for example, smoking, competitive and high-performance sports, UV rays and pollutants. In this case, it makes sense to supply the organism with so-called antioxidants from outside through food or dietary supplements. The best-known antioxidants are vitamin C and E, the carotenoid beta-carotene and the two trace elements selenium and zinc, which we use in this product with the Wild Yam Root. Yam root capsules from Fairvital highly dosed 300mg wild yam extract per capsule standardized to 20% diosgenin (60mg per capsule) Anti-aging tip supports cell protection boosts the immune system contributes to beautiful skin with vitamin E, vitamin C, beta-carotene, zinc and selenium vegetarian and vegan gluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-free without magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide

High-dose zeaxanthin This dietary supplement from Fairvital provides you with high-dose, natural zeaxanthin from day flower extract. One capsule contains 10mg zeaxanthin. Bioavailability Zeaxanthin is a natural, orange-yellow plant pigment from the group of carotenoids and the group of phytochemicals. Over 800 different carotenoids are now known, 50 of which have provitamin A activity, which means that they can be converted in the body into vitamin A, including the well-known beta-carotene. However, unlike this, zeaxanthin cannot be converted into vitamin A. What all carotenoids have in common are their antioxidant properties and fat solubility. For this reason, it makes sense to always take food supplements that contain carotenoids with a meal or to always eat fruit and vegetables with some oil or butter, so that the valuable vital substances can be optimally absorbed by the body. Zeaxanthin in food As a phytochemical, zeaxanthin is primarily found in plant foods, with relatively high levels found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, collard greens, lettuce and parsley. Other good sources of zeaxanthin are red bell peppers, corn and tangerines. Zeaxanthin can also be present in animal foods via the food chain, for example egg yolk or salmon. Occurrence in the organism In the body, zeaxanthin is always present together with lutein, since the two carotenoids are structurally hardly different and are closely related to each other. It can be found in all tissues and organs in different concentrations: e.g. in fat tissue, liver, testicles, ovaries, lungs, muscles or in the skin. Most interestingly, it is present with lutein in the yellow spot (macula) of the eye and can also be found in the eye lens.
