What are vital substances?

Vital substances are important micronutrients, they are often referred to as dietary supplements. Vitamins and minerals that the human body needs for life are mostly insufficiently absorbed through food in our time.

But fiber, phytochemicals and omega-3 and 6 fatty acids also belong to the micronutrients.

Vital substances can be stored in the body as part of the bone substance, serve as radical scavengers in the blood, be components of enzymes or play an important role in metabolic processes - i.e. they can be involved in many biochemical processes in our organism.

Minerals do not provide energy, are essential in building cells, hormones, bones and teeth. They transmit stimuli, maintain tissue tension and activate enzymes.

Minerals are indispensable for the organism, but cannot be produced by the body itself and must therefore be supplied from outside. Important minerals (trace elements) are zinc, selenium, chromium, iron, iodine, copper, fluorine, manganese and molybdenum.

Vitamins are divided into two categories, fat-soluble and water-soluble vitamins. Water-soluble vitamins are all vitamins of the B complex B1-12 (including B 9 = folic acid) and vitamin C. The fat-soluble vitamins include vitamins E, D, K, A. With fat-soluble vitamins there can be an overdose, water-soluble vitamins separate Organism just off.

magnesium is another important mineral that the human body cannot produce itself and that should therefore be adequately supplemented with food or supplemented additionally. As an essential cofactor in more than 300 enzymes, it plays a key role in various metabolic and neurological processes. Magnesium is found in most animal and plant foods. However, considerable losses can occur during preparation through soaking, boiling and blanching. The absorption of magnesium is weakened by numerous accompanying food components, such as free fatty acids, zinc and oxalate. Foods containing magnesium are wheat bran, sunflower seeds, cashew nuts, soybeans, peanuts, bananas, kale, green beans and cow's milk.

As a cofactor of numerous ATP-dependent enzymes, magnesium plays a decisive role in all metabolic processes and is essential for the synthesis of nucleic acids. As a calcium antagonist, magnesium modulates the transmission of stimuli in nerve and muscle cells as well as muscle contraction. Magnesium is also essential for the functioning of the Na / K -ATPase (ion currents) in the neuromuscular conduction of the heart. Magnesium regulates the permeability of cell membranes (permeability) and stabilizes the bone matrix. In the cardiovascular system, magnesium influences the development of action potentials in the heart muscle cells and the vascular muscle tone (through relaxation).

Athletes and competitive athletes particularly value magnesium. In addition to folic acid, magnesium with good bioavailability is also essential during pregnancy.

Fiber rain as indigestible components of food, it stimulates digestion and counteracts indigestion. Dietary fiber is divided into soluble and insoluble dietary fiber, both together make up the total dietary fiber.

Soluble fiber acts as a bulking agent by binding large amounts of water. In the large intestine, soluble fiber is broken down by bacteria living there into short-chain fatty acids and gases. Both of these soften the stool and the stool volume increases. This enables rapid bowel evacuation.

Insoluble fiber binds little water, but massively increases the stool volume and thus stimulates the movement of the intestine, which in turn accelerates the elimination of food residues.

Soluble fiber can lower blood lipid levels and help the body clear cholesterol. Dietary fiber also binds the bile acid.

Dietary fiber also prevents the formation of diverticula (protrusions of the mucous membrane / intestinal wall), which occur when the internal pressure in the intestine is very high. It is important to have enough water for fiber.

Low-fiber foods are white bread, rusks, all types of fish, meat, eggs and dairy products. Foods rich in fiber are all whole grain products, potatoes, fruit (including dried ones), vegetables (types of cabbage), legumes (beans, lentils), seeds (flaxseed, psyllium) and bran or desiccated coconut. Here, too, it is worthwhile to stimulate the intestines daily through supplementation.

Secondary plant substances colors, fragrances and aromas of plants. They are found in plants in small quantities.

They can be found in vegetables, fruit, potatoes, legumes, nuts, whole grain products, trees, etc., such as carotenoids (reddish color of carrots), sulfides or colors and fragrances (onions, leeks, garlic, chives), monoterpenes ( Mint, lemon, caraway), sapoins (legumes, soy, asparagus, oats, liquorice) and phytosterols (nuts, legumes, plant seeds such as sesame, soy, sunflower seeds) or polyphenols (oligomeric procyanidin, OPC, pinus pinaster).

Garlic (flavor allicin) and onions (color quercetin) are natural antibiotics due to their antimicrobial effect. They reduce the multiplication of bacteria and viruses. Garlic also lowers blood pressure and has a beneficial effect on the cardiovascular system.

The Omega-3 and Omega-6 fatty acids are essential unsaturated fatty acid compounds. They improve the flow properties of the blood, inhibit blood clotting, have a blood pressure lowering, anti-inflammatory effect and have a positive effect on the triglyceride metabolism (fat metabolism in digestion and transport in the body cells).

Natural sources of omega-3 and omega-6 are the so-called fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, herring, tuna) or are contained in flax, rapeseed, chia, hemp, avocado and walnut.

Everyone is in favor of constant cell renewal B vitamins extremely important in the complex. Especially in the gastrointestinal tract to protect the mucous membranes. Therefore, smokers have an increased need for B vitamins. These B vitamins are also important for blood formation, for sensitivity to stress, for the generation of energy in the body, for thyroid function, for skin, hair and nails or during pregnancy.

Magnesium entspannt die Herzmuskulatur und lässt das Herz gleichmäßiger arbeiten.

Studien haben ergeben, dass die regelmäßige Einnahme von Magnesium die Anwendung von Nitrospray bei Angina Pectoris senken kann.

Was sind Aufgaben der Vitalstoffe?

Eine ausreichende Vitalstoffversorgung ermöglicht einen reibungslosen Ablauf der notwendigen Funktionen des Stoffwechsels im Organismus, wie z.B. dem innerhalb der Zellen. Somit sind Vitalstoffe an den Grundfunktionen des biologischen Körpers, wie dem Zellwachstum, der Erneuerung der Haut, Knochen, Muskulatur, der Entstehung von Blutkörperchen, der Übertragung von Reizen in den Nervenreizleitungen sowie der Bildung von Sekreten und Botenstoffen beteiligt.

Why are vital substances so important?

Vital substances basically prevent complaints, they increase the quality of life in chronic and consuming diseases with the corresponding symptoms. Often they are the only (alternative) therapy.

They have a preventive and antiviral effect (immune system), increase performance and alertness (Coenzyme 10, Pycnogenol), combat disorders (CFS syndrome, polyneuropathy, winter depression, etc.) and accelerate wound healing. Thus, they promote recovery after surgical interventions in the organism.

How does a lack of vital substances arise?

Causes of a lack of vital substances are incorrect and unbalanced eating habits (fast food, canteen meals, overly processed foods, ready meals, one-sided diet such as too much sugar, grain or salt; diets) or a too stressful lifestyle in which the food is swallowed and already in the mouth too little is being prepared for digestion. Long storage chains in cold stores cause the vitamins in fruit to shrink. You then only consume so-called fillers.

Medicines can also cause a lack of vital substances. They can reduce the uptake of nutrients in the intestinal tract or there is increased excretion when dehydrated, especially when taking medication for a long time.

Unfortunately, older people are no longer able to utilize food as well. Therefore, from the age of 80, many suffer from an undersupply of vital substances, especially iron, magnesium, selenium, vitamin D, Q10 and others. A blood count or a quick test using the fingertip is very informative here.

Statins that lower cholesterol or gastric acid blockers in particular become vital substance robbers. Drugs used to lower cholesterol often block a liver enzyme so that the body cannot make enough coenzyme Q10. A lack of coenzymes means that organs such as the lungs, heart or liver are not adequately supplied. The human organism also naturally produces less Q 10 at the beginning of the 40th year of life.

Too little sun or no time outdoors in the sun-intensive hours leaves a deficiency in vitamin D not only across Europe.

Vitamin D regulates bone structure and is responsible for the calcium and phosphate exchange. It also protects against viral infections and has a positive effect against osteoporosis. Furthermore, vitamin D is mood-enhancing and effective against seasonal depression, such as that of the winter blues. Vitamin D should be supplemented daily and not given once a week. Even toddlers should get vitamin D regularly and not just to prevent rickets.

Vitamin K is in the leafy vegetables. We need it to activate bone formation and remodeling as well as for tendon and joint function. Vitamin K is also needed in the immune system. Vitamin K is part of wound healing and collagen formation. With tennis elbow, for example, healing can be initiated with vitamin K2.

When there is a lack of calcium there is a tendency to cramp, cardiac arrhythmia, tendency to osteoporosis, etc.

How do you take in nutrients?

So that the nutrient components can be absorbed into the blood, they must be in close contact with the inner surface of the small intestine, in particular the small intestinal folds and the intestinal villi located therein. The intestinal villi and their thin appendages, which are called microvilli, enlarge the absorption surface to about 200 square meters. This corresponds to about twenty times the surface area of a person's body.

Inside the villi there is a dense network of capillaries (fine blood vessels). In this way, many nutrient components can get into the blood at the same time from the large contact area. This uptake is called resorption.

Was passiert, wenn ich einen Vitalstoffmangel habe?

Defizite in der Vitalstoffversorgung machen sich z.B. durch Müdigkeit, Abgeschlagenheit, Energiemangel, erschwerter Verdauung, Depressionen, häufiger Infektanfälligkeit, Heißhunger, Schwangerschaftsbeschwerden o. Ä. bemerkbar.

Bei Vitamin B-Mangel können z.B. die Hände einschlafen, Raucher können Probleme mit der Magensäure entwickeln, manche leiden unter eingerissenen Mundwinkeln oder brüchigen Nägeln. Bei Menschen mit Alkoholabusus kommt es z.B. zu schweren neurologischen Beschwerdebildern des Gehirns.

Welche Vitalstoffe sind höherwertiger?

Vitalstoffe fallen in Deutschland unter dem Nahrungsmittelgesetz. Hier ist Vorsicht bei den Füll- und Zusatzstoffen geboten.

Es gibt jedoch auch Vitalstoffe, die unter dem Arzneimittelgesetz hergestellt werden. Diese sind höherwertiger, aber natürlich aufgrund ihres Herstellungsverfahrens preisintensiver. Sie werden vom menschlichen Organismus besser verwertet, das heißt, sie besitzen eine höhere Bioverfügbarkeit.

Manche Verfahren zur Extrahierung von Pflanzenstoffen wurden patentiert, wie die z.B. Produkte rund um das Pycnogenol (lateinisch: Pinus Pinaster), einem Extrakt aus der Rinde der französischen Meereskiefer, das z.B. bei Erkrankungen des venösen Systems eingesetzt wird.

Which vital substances do you need to lose weight?

These 3 vital substances can help you lose weight: L-carnitine, magnesium and chromium, ideally as organic chromium yeast (CromoPrecise, special fermentation process in which chromium is bound to amino acids and peptides). They are used to maintain stable blood sugar levels.

L-carnitine is a so-called vitaminoid, i.e. a vitamin-like substance that can be produced in the body under the influence of various amino acids and vitamins.

Immune system - vital substances

Which organ is responsible for the immune system?

The primary lymphatic organs are responsible for the immune system. These include the bone marrow and thymus. These form certain immune cells, different lymphocytes, a subgroup of leukocytes (white blood cells). Secondary lymphatic organs are also important here: They include the lymph nodes, the spleen, the tonsils and certain tissues in various mucous membranes of the body (for example the intestines).

How does the immune system work?

To put it simply, the immune system is the body's defense system. It ensures that pathogens such as bacteria and viruses, fungi, germs and parasites that enter the body are fought and an infection is prevented. However, the immune system is not an independent organ but an interplay of defense mechanisms of different blood cells, the lymphocytes (B cells), T lymphocytes and the NK cells (natural killer cells).

How can I build or strengthen my immune system?

The immune system can be built up with the help of vitamins and minerals. Vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin C, vitamin B6, folic acid (vitamin B9) and vitamin B12 as well as iron, copper, selenium and zinc contribute to the normal function of the immune system. Helpful are combination preparations here.
