Table of contents B vitamins magnesium zinc selenium Antioxidants: Vitamin E and Vitamin C Conclusion: The pill can deprive the body of important nutrients Millions of women take the pill, often for many years. The contraceptive pill has revolutionized sex life and unwanted pregnancies have become a rarity. Most women do not think about whether taking the pill long-term could be harmful. In fact, the pill can cause many side effects such as listlessness, depression, and mood swings. It can even be responsible for migraines and high blood pressure . One reason the pill can cause these side effects is because it interferes with the metabolism of many nutrients, thereby increasing the need for them. [1] This is especially a problem for women who want to become pregnant after stopping taking the pill. IT'S WORTH READING! AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU A VOUCHER CODE. B vitamins The pill can inhibit the absorption and metabolism of B vitamins . [2] Folic acid is important for cell growth and division. A deficiency is therefore particularly noticeable during growth phases. During pregnancy, a folic acid deficiency leads to neural tube defects. For this reason, women who want to have children are advised to supplement with folic acid before pregnancy. Vitamin B6 is involved in many metabolic processes. It is also very important for mental health because it is needed to produce the “happiness hormone” serotonin. Vitamin B12, together with other B vitamins, plays an important role in homocysteine ​​metabolism. Elevated homocysteine ​​levels increase the risk of thrombosis, osteoporosis, stroke and pregnancy complications. magnesium The pill can disrupt magnesium metabolism and thus lead to low magnesium levels. [3] It is already difficult to meet magnesium requirements through food. Magnesium deficiency is therefore widespread. Long-term use of the pill can further increase the risk of deficiency . Magnesium is also known as a master mineral because it is involved in over 300 enzyme reactions. It is particularly important for muscle and nerve function and for energy production. zinc The pill can reduce the absorption of zinc and thus promote a deficiency. [4] Zinc is best known for being important for the immune system. Zinc is also important for wound healing and cell growth and is of great importance for fertility. selenium The pill can inhibit the absorption of selenium . [5] Selenium is important for the function of the thyroid gland and is also an important free radical scavenger. Selenium also supports detoxification . Germany is a selenium deficiency area. Many people are therefore not supplied with enough selenium. Taking the pill can further increase a selenium deficiency. Antioxidants: Vitamin E and Vitamin C The pill can interfere with the metabolism of vitamins C and E and thus reduce their bioavailability. [6] These vitamins are two important antioxidants that protect the body from oxidative stress and free radicals. A lack of vitamin C also increases the risk of infections, impairs wound healing and reduces the ability to produce the connective tissue protein collagen . A vitamin E deficiency can cause circulatory disorders, lead to diseases of the retina (retinopathy) and impair reflexes. Conclusion: The pill can deprive the body of important nutrients The contraceptive pill steals nutrients. Long-term use can lead to a deficiency in many nutrients, which can cause health problems. This can be a major problem, especially for women who want to become pregnant after taking the pill for years, as these nutrients are important for fertility and during pregnancy. Women who take the pill should have their nutrient status checked regularly and supplement nutrients if necessary.

Hair loss, which leads to thinning hair and possibly bald patches, is probably one of a woman's worst nightmares. But hair loss can also be stressful for men. Hair loss can have many different causes: stress , an unbalanced hormone level, genetic predisposition, or a lack of vitamins and minerals. The scalp, hair roots and hair require many essential nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals and trace elements . If just one of these nutrients is missing, hair growth can be impaired or hair loss can occur. A good supply of these nutrients can counteract hair loss in many cases. IT'S WORTH READING! AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU A VOUCHER CODE.   The following nutrients are important for hair growth: Biotin Hair consists mainly of the protein keratin. Biotin is a B vitamin (vitamin B7) that is involved in the formation of protein and therefore also of keratin. Biotin is also important for the skin’s moisture balance and can stimulate hair growth. Biotin deficiency is not very common. But if biotin supply is not good, biotin supplementation can counteract hair loss. [1] Zinc Zinc is important for cell division. Since the cells of hair follicles divide quickly, they are particularly sensitive to zinc deficiency. If the cells can no longer divide as quickly due to zinc deficiency, hair falls out more easily. Alopecia areata is associated with a zinc deficiency. Conversely, initial studies show that zinc supplementation could help with hair loss. [2] However, this needs to be confirmed by further studies. L-Cysteine L-cysteine ​​is an amino acid and an important component of keratin. A few small studies suggest that L-cysteine ​​may reduce hair loss. [3] However, more studies are needed to confirm this. Iron The cells of the hair follicles have to divide frequently and iron is needed for cell division. Iron deficiency is very common, especially in menstruating women. There is some evidence that there is a connection between iron deficiency and hair loss. [4] Apart from that, it is always a good idea to compensate for an iron deficiency. Omega-3 fatty acids Omega-3 fatty acids are important for moisturizing the hair and scalp. They also inhibit the enzyme that converts testosterone into DHT, which attacks the hair roots and can cause hair loss. In a small study, omega-3 fatty acids in combination with omega-6 fatty acids and antioxidants were able to reduce hair loss. Vitamin D Vitamin D is important for the formation of vitamin D. In addition, vitamin D receptors are found in the hair roots, which indicates that vitamin D is important for hair growth. Vitamin D deficiency is associated with hair loss. Conversely, small studies suggest that vitamin D supplementation may stimulate hair growth. [5] However, this remains to be confirmed. However, vitamin D deficiency is very common in Germany and compensating for it is definitely advisable. Antioxidants Oxidative stress appears to promote hair loss: people with hair loss often have high levels of markers of oxidative stress. Antioxidants such as vitamin C , vitamin E, copper and selenium can counteract oxidative stress and there is initial evidence that they could help with hair loss. Silicon Silicon is a mineral that is found primarily in skin, hair and nails. Silicon appears to be important for the stability of keratin. In one study, silicon in combination with biotin and zinc was able to stimulate hair growth. [6]   Conclusion: Vitamins and minerals can help with hair loss Hair loss can have many different causes. If it is due to a nutrient deficiency, targeted supplementation with nutrients important for hair growth can counteract hair loss.   WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU A 10 % VOUCHER FOR OUR Vitamin D (liquid) , Vitamin D (capsules) , selenium tablets , zinc, zinc & copper , vitamin B complex , vitamin B complex forte and Omega-3 AND HOPE TO MAKE YOU JOY WITH IT.

High blood pressure is widespread. In the long term, it is very dangerous because it damages the blood vessels and thus drastically increases the risk of a heart attack. Since high blood pressure usually causes no symptoms, it often goes unnoticed and is therefore also known as the "silent killer". High blood pressure is traditionally treated with medications such as beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers. However, many nutrients are also involved in blood pressure regulation. These nutrients are often deficient in high blood pressure.   IT'S WORTH READING: AS A SMALL GIFT, WE HAVE CREATED A DISCOUNT CODE FOR YOU. YOU CAN FIND IT AT THE END OF THE BLOG POST.   Potassium Potassium is a key mineral in the natural regulation of blood pressure. It is the counterpart of sodium, which is part of table salt. Too high a concentration of sodium in the blood causes blood pressure to rise. A good supply of potassium, on the other hand, counteracts this. [1] Potassium also promotes the excretion of sodium via the kidneys. Potassium deficiency is therefore a major risk factor for high blood pressure. Magnesium Magnesium is important for relaxing muscles. In a similar way, it also promotes relaxation of vascular muscles, which allows blood vessels to expand further. This lowers blood pressure naturally. The blood pressure lowering effect of magnesium has been well researched. [2] Since magnesium deficiency is already very common, a magnesium supplement can be useful for high blood pressure. Arginine The body can produce nitric oxide (NO) from the amino acid arginine. NO has a vasodilating effect and is an important molecule in the regulation of blood pressure. If not enough NO can be produced, high blood pressure can easily occur. A dietary supplement with arginine can naturally lower blood pressure. [3] Taurine Taurine is an amino acid-like compound and is known to be important for heart function. But taurine also appears to have a natural blood pressure lowering effect, presumably by improving the excretion of fluid via the kidneys. Vitamin D A vitamin D deficiency is strongly associated with high blood pressure. [4] At the same time, a vitamin D deficiency is very widespread in Germany. Vitamin D is important for inhibiting the blood pressure hormone renin. [5] Vitamin D also controls the concentration of electrolytes in the blood, thereby also contributing to blood pressure regulation. Omega-3 fatty acids It is not exactly understood how omega-3 fatty acids lower blood pressure. The effect seems to be rather indirect through several mechanisms. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for vascular health and can also reduce many risk factors associated with high blood pressure. [6] They have an anti-inflammatory effect and people who are well supplied with omega-3 fatty acids have a lower risk of heart attack - a common consequence of chronically high blood pressure. [7] Vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 Vitamin C and coenzyme Q10 are a powerful duo when it comes to regulating blood pressure. Coenzyme Q10 promotes the formation of NO, which is important for vasodilation. [8] Vitamin C, on the other hand, improves the effect of NO. [9] In addition, both are antioxidants that protect the blood vessels from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. Thus, they indirectly contribute to healthy blood pressure and also help to minimize the damage caused by high blood pressure. Conclusion: Micronutrients – key players in blood pressure regulation Blood pressure regulation is a finely tuned interaction of many factors. Electrolytes such as potassium and sodium are two key minerals. But vitamin D, taurine, arginine and antioxidants are also involved in the regulation of blood pressure. It is therefore not surprising that a sufficient intake of these nutrients can improve blood pressure regulation and help to lower blood pressure naturally. In many cases, the dose of blood pressure medication can be reduced. Of course, this should only be done in consultation with the treating doctor.   As promised, you will receive a 10% voucher on the following products: Vitamin C , Coenzyme Q10 , Potassium ,Magnesium , Taurine , Vitamin D (capsules) , Zinc Simply copy the code BLUTDRUCK+V10 and enter it at checkout.

Hashimoto's thyroiditis is an autoimmune disease that affects the thyroid gland. As a result of Hashimoto's, the thyroid gland becomes underactive, which is characterized by a lack of energy and motivation, fatigue, weight gain and sensitivity to cold. Approximately 4-8 million people are affected by this in Germany. [1] Hashimoto's is considered incurable in conventional medicine and patients usually have to take medication for life. However, there are a number of things that can be done to limit the breakdown of thyroid tissue and even partially regenerate it. Diet and a good supply of essential nutrients play an important role here. In the classic treatment of Hashimoto, thyroid hormones (such as L-thyroxine) are usually used. Although these can compensate for the hypothyroidism and alleviate many symptoms, they unfortunately do not prevent the destruction of the thyroid tissue. Nutrients can have a very good complementary effect here. They can support the function of the thyroid and help keep autoimmune reactions in check.   IT'S WORTH READING: AS A SMALL GIFT, WE HAVE CREATED A DISCOUNT CODE FOR YOU. YOU CAN FIND IT AT THE END OF THE BLOG POST.   Selenium Selenium is important for the formation and function of thyroid hormones. Selenium also scavenges free radicals that can damage the thyroid and helps protect the organ from harmful autoimmune reactions. [2] It is particularly important to ensure a good supply of selenium when taking iodine supplements (a controversial topic in Hashimoto's disease). Since Germany is a selenium-deficient area, many Germans do not have an adequate supply of selenium. Supplementation can therefore be useful for many people, even regardless of Hashimoto. However, selenium is toxic in high doses. It is therefore advisable to have your selenium status checked regularly. The risk of overdose is significantly lower with sodium selenite than with selenomethionine. If you supplement selenium "blindly" without measuring selenium beforehand, sodium selenite is the better choice. Iodine Iodine is part of the thyroid hormones and is therefore of fundamental importance for the function of the thyroid. [3] People with Hashimoto's are often warned against taking iodine supplements. The reason for this is that iodine promotes the formation of free radicals in the thyroid and can therefore cause additional damage to the thyroid tissue. Nevertheless, iodine is an essential nutrient - even for people with Hashimoto's. Before supplementing with iodine, however, other nutrients should first be replenished, especially selenium. Zinc Zinc is known to be important for the immune system. But zinc is also very important for the function of thyroid hormones. [4] In autoimmune diseases, there is also an increased need for zinc. Vitamin D Vitamin D is also important for the immune system. At the same time, it has an immune-regulating effect and thus helps to keep chronic inflammation in check. That is why people with autoimmune diseases should always ensure they have a good supply of vitamin D. But vitamin D is also important for the function of the thyroid: it is important for binding thyroid hormones to the cells. [5] Magnesium Magnesium is involved in an incredible number of processes in the body. That is why it is also known as the master mineral. Unfortunately, magnesium is often neglected in the diet and a deficiency is widespread. Magnesium is also important for the function of thyroid hormones. [6] Magnesium also promotes the absorption of vitamin D. Iron Iron is needed for the production of thyroid hormones. Iron deficiency is particularly common among women. [7] Vitamin A Vitamin A is important for thyroid function. Vitamin A supplementation can lower TSH levels. [8] However, vitamin A should not be supplemented “blindly” as it is toxic in high doses. This can be particularly dangerous during pregnancy. Omega-3 Omega-3 fatty acids have anti-inflammatory effects. They can therefore reduce inflammatory reactions caused by the autoimmune process. [9] B vitamins B vitamins are very important for energy metabolism. Thyroid hormones, in turn, regulate energy metabolism. However, this cannot function optimally if essential nutrients are lacking. [10] People with Hashimoto also have an increased risk of deficiency in B vitamins, especially vitamin B12 . Conclusion: Nutrients can support Hashimoto treatment Nutrients can effectively support the treatment of Hashimoto. However, the nutrient status should be checked regularly to avoid overdose. High doses often have to be used to achieve good effectiveness. This should be done in collaboration with an experienced therapist or alternative practitioner.   As promised, you will receive a 10% voucher on the following products: Vitamin B complex , vitamin b complex forte , vitamin b12 , Magnesium , Vitamin D (capsules) , Zinc , Selenium tablets , Iodine from organic kelp , Omega-3 Simply copy the code HASHI+V10 and enter it at checkout.

Chronic stress can lead to adrenal insufficiency: the adrenal glands no longer produce sufficient stress hormones and as a result you are no longer able to cope with the challenges of everyday life. Here you can find out which vital substances can support the adrenal glands and the stress response. IT'S WORTH READING: AS A SMALL GIFT, WE HAVE CREATED A DISCOUNT CODE FOR YOU. YOU CAN FIND IT AT THE END OF THE BLOG POST. What is adrenal fatigue? The adrenal glands are hormone-producing glands located above the kidneys. They produce hormones that are important for the stress response, such as cortisol, aldosterone and adrenaline. In adrenal insufficiency, the function of the adrenal glands is impaired and they no longer produce enough hormones. Adrenal insufficiency is usually caused by chronic stress: the adrenal glands become exhausted. How do you recognize adrenal insufficiency? When you have adrenal insufficiency, your body no longer reacts properly to all of life's challenges. Even everyday things become a major challenge. Adrenal insufficiency typically manifests itself in exhaustion, listlessness, dizziness, tiredness, difficulty concentrating, low stress resistance, depression and sleep disorders. In conventional medicine, adrenal insufficiency is not a recognized disease and there is no test that can clearly diagnose adrenal insufficiency. For this reason, diagnosis is not easy. However, the level of various hormones and the cortisol level over the course of the day provide important clues to adrenal insufficiency. The cortisol level is normally high in the morning and falls over the course of the day. In adrenal insufficiency, this typical pattern is no longer recognizable. Treatment of adrenal insufficiency In the case of adrenal insufficiency, stress triggers should first be identified and eliminated as best as possible. In addition, various vital substances can support the adrenal glands and at the same time make the body more resistant to stress. B vitamins B vitamins are also known as nerve vitamins because they support nerve function in various ways. When we are under chronic stress, our nerves are on edge. Unfortunately, in such a situation we usually do not reach for healthy nerve food , but rather for sweets and other unhealthy snacks. However, these are not only very low in nutrients, they also deprive the body of important nutrients that it so urgently needs in stressful situations. Vitamin B1 can support the body’s stress response and lower cortisol levels. Niacin (vitamin B3) is important for energy metabolism and thus supports the energy supply of nerve cells. It is also involved in the production of cortisol and aldosterone. Pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) supports the adrenal gland in the production of cortisol. A deficiency in vitamin B5 can therefore weaken the adrenal gland. [1] Vitamin B6 is important for the production of important neurotransmitters such as GABA, dopamine and serotonin. Vitamin B12 can help normalize hormone production. Learn more about B vitamins magnesium Magnesium can reduce the release of stress hormones such as adrenaline and noradrenaline. [2] However, when you are stressed, your need for magnesium is increased, so a deficiency can easily occur. Vitamin C Vitamin C is involved in the production of many hormones that are important for the stress response. Vitamin C also helps to reduce oxidative stress, which occurs more frequently when there is high stress. At the same time, when there is stress, there is an increased need for vitamin C and this important vitamin can easily be lacking. [3] Vitamin D Vitamin D is also involved in the production of hormones, such as the happiness hormone serotonin. A lack of vitamin D is associated with depression and anxiety. [4] Vitamin D therefore probably helps to improve mood when you are stressed. Omega-3 fatty acids Omega-3 fatty acids are particularly valuable in times of stress. They are a component of nerve cell membranes and are therefore of great importance for the function and health of nerve cells. There is also evidence that they can help with depression and are important for mood. [5] Tryptophan Tryptophan is an amino acid, a protein building block. Tryptophan is one of the rarest amino acids and is therefore easily lacking in the diet. The amino acid is a precursor to the happiness hormone serotonin. It is therefore important for mood and probably ensures that one can better withstand psychological strain caused by stress. [6] Conclusion: Vital substances can effectively support the adrenal gland Adrenal insufficiency is usually caused by chronic stress. Various vital substances such as magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin C, omega-3 fatty acids, B vitamins and tryptophan can support the stress response and make the body more resistant to stress. At the same time, stress increases the need for some of these vital substances, so they can easily be lacking in chronic stress.

Histamine intolerance affects approximately 1% of the population. Those affected are sensitive to histamine and develop allergy-like symptoms after eating foods rich in histamine. However, avoiding foods that contain histamine is very difficult to achieve in the long term. However, there are promising treatment approaches that can help to get the disease under control. IT'S WORTH READING! AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU A VOUCHER CODE. What is histamine intolerance? Histamine is a messenger substance produced by the body that controls inflammatory and defense processes, as well as gastrointestinal movements. Histamine is found in many foods, such as meat, fish, dairy products, cheese and red wine. The body can also produce histamine itself. Histamine intolerance is caused by an imbalance between the formation and breakdown of histamine. The body has problems breaking down histamine. As a result, people with histamine intolerance are sensitive to foods rich in histamine. [1] Causes of histamine intolerance The body breaks down histamine using two different enzymes: histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) and diamonioxidase (DAO). It is believed that in people with histamine intolerance, DAO is not active enough. There can be various reasons for the DAO enzyme not being active enough. Scientists suspect that genetics influence the enzyme's activity. It is also suspected that in Crohn's disease, not enough DAO enzyme is produced. Crohn's disease is therefore strongly associated with histamine intolerance. Some medications, such as blood pressure medication and antidepressants, can also reduce the activity of the enzyme. Fermented foods, on the other hand, contain biogenic amines that can inhibit the breakdown of histamine. Symptoms: How to recognize histamine intolerance Since histamine activates inflammation, histamine intolerance leads to allergy and flu-like symptoms. Headaches and gastrointestinal complaints are also typical. Itching, redness of the face, rashes, watery eyes and a runny nose can also occur. Treatment of histamine intolerance If you have histamine intolerance, avoiding histamine in food can help relieve symptoms. However, since histamine is found in almost all foods, this is a big challenge. There are also antihistamines that block histamine receptors and thus inhibit the effects of histamine. In addition, the DAO enzyme can be taken in capsule form, which makes histamine-rich foods better tolerated. Nutritional therapy for histamine intolerance Nutrients can effectively support the treatment of histamine intolerance. Some nutrients can help to lower histamine levels by activating the DAO enzyme. This allows the body to break down histamine better and the symptoms are less severe. These include vitamin C and vitamin B6, for example. Vitamin C is important for the function of the DAO enzyme. Therefore, it is not surprising that when vitamin C levels are low, the histamine level in the blood increases. [2] Vitamin B6 supports the breakdown of histamine in a similar way. [3] The combination of vitamin C and vitamin B6 is particularly effective in histamine intolerance. Calcium can also help with histamine intolerance. However, the mechanism is slightly different here. Calcium was used to relieve allergy symptoms before the introduction of antihistamines. It seems to limit the damage caused by high histamine levels by sealing blood vessel walls. This prevents large amounts of histamine from entering the tissue. This can relieve itching, rashes and redness. [4] Conclusion: Nutrients can effectively support the treatment of histamine intolerance Histamine fulfils important functions in the body. However, problems arise when it cannot be broken down sufficiently. In addition to a low-histamine diet, antihistamines and the intake of DAO enzyme, certain micronutrients can effectively support the treatment of histamine intolerance. Vitamin C and vitamin B6 are important for the function of the DAO enzyme. Calcium, on the other hand, helps to limit the damage caused by histamine.

Magnesium is an essential mineral that plays a very central role in metabolism. It is involved in over 300 enzyme reactions and is therefore also known as the master mineral. Magnesium is particularly important for nerve and muscle function and for maintaining bones. Unfortunately, magnesium is often not enough in the diet. On average, women only consume 200 mg per day, men 250 mg. [1] The daily requirement is 300 - 400 mg, depending on age and gender. [2] In addition, there are many magnesium thieves that further increase the need for magnesium. Therefore, it is not surprising that magnesium deficiency is widespread. Typical symptoms of magnesium deficiency are muscle cramps, tension and twitching, sleep problems and high sensitivity to stress. Here we present the 5 biggest magnesium thieves. IT'S WORTH READING! AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE JOY WITH A VOUCHER! 1) Medicines Medications can rob the body of magnesium in various ways. Some medications affect the pH level in the digestive tract. For example, proton pump inhibitors, also known as acid blockers, increase the pH level in the stomach, making it less acidic. Proton pump inhibitors are used to treat heartburn. Unfortunately, the increased pH value reduces the solubility of magnesium compounds, which means they are not absorbed as well. Other medications act on magnesium transporters, which are important for the absorption of magnesium into the cells. These include diuretics, which are also known as water-removing agents. Thiazides, which contain the active ingredient hydrochlorothiazide, are often used to treat high blood pressure. They promote the excretion of magnesium via the kidneys. [3] Medications pose a risk to magnesium levels especially when they are used over a long period of time, i.e. for many months or even years. 2) Hormone preparations Hormone preparations, especially the contraceptive pill, also rob magnesium. The hormones promote magnesium excretion. The risk of magnesium deficiency is particularly high here, as many women take the pill for many years. [4] 3) Luxury goods Unfortunately, stimulants such as coffee, tea and alcohol are also major magnesium thieves. Coffee has a dehydrating effect and therefore promotes the excretion of not only magnesium, but also other minerals such as phosphorus, potassium and sodium. [5] 4) Sports Sport is of course very healthy. But sport also represents a physical strain that increases the need for magnesium. In addition, sweating during sport causes large amounts of magnesium and other minerals to be excreted through the skin. [6] In our article about micronutrients in sport , you will learn which nutrients you should pay particular attention to if you do a lot of sport. 5) Stress When stressed, the body performs at its best. Stress hormones are also released. Magnesium increases stress resilience, but stress also uses up a lot of magnesium. [7] Stress also promotes sweating, which also causes more magnesium to be excreted. Stress therefore increases the need for magnesium in various ways. In another article you will learn how you can strengthen yourself with nerve food during stressful times. Conclusion: Magnesium thieves are everywhere Nowadays, magnesium thieves are lurking everywhere. You can't always avoid them and it's not necessarily necessary. But it's important to know that they exist. Because a magnesium deficiency is easy to avoid. If you suspect a deficiency, you should check your magnesium status. Ahigh-quality magnesium supplement helps to prevent or correct a deficiency. AS PROMISED, YOU WILL RECEIVE A 10% VOUCHER ON OURMAGNESIUM . SIMPLY COPY THE CODE MAGNESIUM+V10 AND ENTER IT AT CHECKOUT.

Potassium is an essential mineral that we must consume through our diet. It is the counterpart of sodium and therefore plays a central role in the regulation of blood pressure. Potassium is also needed for signal transmission in nerve cells. You can learn more about this important nutrient in our detailed article on potassium . IT'S WORTH READING! AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE WE WOULD LIKE TO GIVE YOU A LITTLE JOY WITH A VOUCHER! Potassium requirement According to the German Nutrition Society (DGE), the daily requirement of potassium is 4000 mg. Breastfeeding women have an increased requirement of 4,400 mg. [1] Here is a list of the 10 foods richest in potassium: 1. White beans Beans and other legumes are among the best sources of potassium. White beans, for example, provide 558 mg per 100 g. In addition, they contain plenty of vitamin B1 and folic acid and are good sources of numerous minerals such as iron, magnesium, zinc , copper and manganese. [2] For vegans, legumes are also an important source of protein. 2. Pistachios Pistachios are not only a delicious snack but also very healthy! They provide 1025 mg of potassium per 100 g. They are also rich in vitamin B1 and vitamin B6, as well as the minerals magnesium, copper and manganese. [3] So you are doing yourself a favor if you choose pistachios instead of chips and chocolate. 3. Flaxseed Flaxseeds are known as a local superfood for good reason. They not only provide plenty of healthy fiber but also lots of B vitamins (especially vitamin B1, vitamin B6 and folic acid) and magnesium. They also provide a whopping 813 mg of potassium per 100 g. [4] So there are many good reasons to include flaxseeds in your diet more often. They go well in bread, muesli, yogurt and salad. 4. Almonds Almonds are also a good source of potassium: they provide 705 mg per 100 g. Almonds also provide plenty of vitamin E and vitamin B2 and are rich in magnesium and manganese. [5] Almonds are also a very healthy snack. They taste particularly good when roasted. 5. Squid Unfortunately, squid is not for everyone, but it is a valuable source of many vitamins and minerals. Not only does it contain 637 mg of potassium per 100 g, but it also provides plenty of vitamin B2, vitamin B12 , iron, copper and selenium. [6] Aren't these many good reasons to try squid? 6. Avocado Avocados provide 485 mg per 100 g, so they are also a good source of potassium. Avocados are also very rich in vitamin K and folic acid. You can eat them plain or add a little salt, pepper and lemon juice to make a delicious guacamole. [7] 7. Pork Meat also provides considerable amounts of potassium. Pork, for example, contains 489 mg per 100 g. Even though pork doesn't have the best reputation, it still provides many other valuable nutrients such as vitamin B1, vitamin B3 and vitamin B6, as well as the minerals phosphate and selenium . [8] But of course you should pay attention to the quality of pork. By eating meat from species-appropriate animal husbandry, you are not only doing something good for the animal, but also for yourself. 8. Sweet potatoes Sweet potatoes contain 475 mg of potassium per 100 g. They are also an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C and manganese. [9] Sweet potatoes taste good as fries or in soup. 9. Potatoes Potatoes are also a relatively good source of potassium: they provide 421 mg per 100 g. The good old potato is also rich in vitamin C and vitamin B6. [10] It is very versatile and tastes good boiled, fried or baked. 10. Bananas Bananas have a reputation for being particularly rich in potassium. In fact, they contain comparatively little potassium, with 358 mg per 100 g. But they still manage to make it to number 10. Bananas are also a good source of vitamin C, vitamin B6 and manganese. Conclusion: Most foods contain little potassium Although potassium is found in many foods, they usually only provide a small portion of the daily requirement. Legumes, nuts and seeds, as well as avocados are among the best sources. A high-quality dietary supplement can help meet potassium requirements.

Nowadays we are exposed to many pollutants such as heavy metals, fine dust, pesticides, herbicides and many other chemicals. They are found in food, in the air, in water, in packaging and cosmetics. And our bodies also produce many toxic metabolic products every day that we need to detoxify. The body has many detoxification mechanisms. The problem is that it needs a lot of nutrients to detoxify. Not only are we exposed to more and more pollutants these days, but the nutrient density of food is also decreasing. As a result, the body often does not have enough nutrients to effectively get rid of toxins.   IT'S WORTH READING! AT THE END OF THE ARTICLE WE HAVE PROVIDED YOU A VOUCHER CODE.   Detoxify the body with nutrients Diet plays an essential role in detoxification. It provides many nutrients that are important for detoxification. Nutrients support detoxification in various ways: During detoxification, nutrients are also eliminated along with the toxins. This is especially true for detoxification treatments and chelation therapies for heavy metal detoxification. It is therefore important to ensure a particularly good supply of nutrients before and during a detoxification treatment. Many nutrients are involved in detoxification processes. For example, the detoxification enzymes in the liver require a number of nutrients to function properly. Many nutrients can bind nutrients and thus have a detoxifying effect.   Vitamin C Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects against free radicals. It therefore helps to reduce oxidative stress that occurs during detoxification processes. In addition, vitamin C activates liver enzymes that are involved in the detoxification process in the liver. [1] Vitamin C also promotes lead detoxification and a good supply of vitamin C reduces lead toxicity. [2] secondary plant substances Secondary plant substances such as polyphenols, terpenes and alkaloids have an antioxidant effect. They can reinforce each other's effects and also influence the effectiveness of vitamin C. Flavonoids, for example, support the effectiveness of vitamin C. [3] Secondary plant substances are found in fruit and vegetables. Intense colors such as in berries, peppers and beetroot indicate a high content of secondary plant substances. Curcumin Curcumin is an ingredient in curcuma , a South Asian ginger plant also known as turmeric. Curcumin has cancer-preventing properties. It can also reduce inflammation and promotes the detoxification process. [4] The detoxifying effect is due to the fact that curcumin is very bitter. This stimulates the production of stomach acid and digestion. It also stimulates the production of bile, which increases the excretion of toxins. Alpha-lipoic acid Alpha-lipoic acid is a sulfur-containing fatty acid. It is used in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy, but can also effectively support the detoxification process. Alpha-lipoic acid serves as a coenzyme in numerous metabolic processes. It also acts as an antioxidant that helps fight free radicals. It can regenerate used antioxidants such as vitamin E, vitamin C, coenzyme Q10 and glutathione. Alpha-lipoic acid is found in meat and also in some vegetables. Alpha-lipoic acid is also available as a dietary supplement that requires a prescription. Vitamin E Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin. It is also an antioxidant and is therefore an effective radical scavenger. Vitamin E is important for the absorption of selenium and can enhance its antioxidant functions. Vitamin E is also involved in the detoxification of heavy metals, such as mercury. [5] N-acetylcysteine ​​and MSM Cysteine ​​is an amino acid that the body can produce to a limited extent from the amino acids methionine and serine. Cysteine ​​can form complexes with heavy metals, allowing them to be excreted. Cysteine ​​is usually used in the form of N-acetyl-cysteine. Cysteine ​​and MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) both contain sulfur groups that help regenerate glutathione. [6] , [7] Glutathione is an antioxidant and a key detoxification molecule. selenium Selenium is important for the thyroid and has central functions in energy metabolism. It also plays an important role in glutathione metabolic pathways, thereby supporting detoxification. Selenium can also bind heavy metals such as mercury, making them easier to detoxify. [8] zinc Zinc is a component of many enzymes and has antioxidant properties. It is also involved in the glutathione signaling pathway, which makes it an effective detoxification aid. [9] iodine Iodine supports detoxification by binding heavy metals and forming complexes with many pollutants. Other elements of nutrition Dietary fiber promotes detoxification by stimulating liver and gall bladder function. It also binds toxins in the intestines, making them easier to eliminate. Vegetables, especially green leafy vegetables, can also promote detoxification. The green color is due to the plant pigment chlorophyll, which can bind many pollutants. This is why the microalgae chlorella is so popular for detoxification. Conclusion: Nutrients are essential detoxification aids The body needs a lot of nutrients to detoxify effectively. A high level of toxicity therefore deprives the body of nutrients. If the diet does not provide enough nutrients, deficiencies can arise. A targeted intake of certain vitamins, minerals and secondary plant substances can effectively support detoxification.   WE HAVE YOU A 10 % VOUCHER FOR OUR Vitamin C , Turmeric , Coenzyme Q10 , MSM , Iodine from organic Kelp , Zinc & Copper and Selenium Tablets PROVIDED AND HOPE TO BRING YOU JOY WITH IT.
