Vitamin D is also produced by our skin, but for many this is not sufficient or does not work well. Vitamin D supplementation is a good solution for this. Vitamin D is important in various processes in the body. Vitamin D contributes to the immune system, muscles, bones, teeth, cell division process and production of new cells.
Vitamin D is one of the fat-soluble vitamins that are crucial for our body. It is mainly found in oily fish, such as herring, salmon and mackerel, but that is only part of the story - about 10%. Meat and eggs also contribute to our vitamin D intake, albeit in smaller amounts. In addition, our body has the ability to produce vitamin D itself under the influence of sunlight, especially UV radiation.

Vitamin K2 in the form of Menaquinone-7 is the most effective form of vitamin K2. It appears to be present in the body for a very long time and can therefore be effective for a long time. Vitamin K contributes to normal blood clotting. Furthermore, vitamin K2 contributes to good bones by supporting calcium absorption.

Vitamin A is involved in various biochemical and physiological processes in the cell. For example, vitamin A binds to so-called retoinden receptors that ensure the activation or inactivation of genes that play a role in the cell specialization process. Cells acquire their specific functionality, depending on the type of tissue they are part of. Sufficient intake of vitamin A is also important for vision, but not only for the ability to adapt vision to a dark environment. Vitamin A also maintains a good structure and moisture balance of the cornea through tears. Furthermore, this vitamin is necessary for the integrity of epithelial cells in the body and thus supports the quality of the skin and mucous membranes (including in the intestine and lungs).

Zinc is available in different forms. Zinc bisglycinate has a very good bioavailability. It is a chelated form of zinc bound to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine which has more benefits for the body. Zinc has a very wide range of action and is involved in many body processes. Zinc is essential for the activity of more than 300 enzymes that have the zinc ion as a cofactor. Zinc is also important for proteins and cell membranes. Zinc is important for the immune system, acid-base metabolism, carbohydrate metabolism, DNA synthesis, cognitive functions, fertility, reproduction, vitamin A metabolism, macronutrient metabolism, bones, hair, skin, nails, hormones and cell division, among other things.
