Calcium-D-Glucarate- 90 Capsules

Highly dosed trace element for the immune system, hair and nails Selenium is a trace element that is naturally present in many foods, is even added to some foods and is available as a dietary supplement. Selenium is essential for humans. It is a component of more than 20 selenoproteins, which play a crucial role in reproduction, thyroid hormone metabolism, DNA synthesis and protection against oxidative damage. Forms of selenium Selenium exists in two forms: inorganic (selenate and selenite) and organic (selenomethionine and selenocysteine). Both forms are sources of selenium. Soils contain inorganic selenites and selenates, which are accumulated by plants and converted into organic forms such as selenocysteine and selenomethionine. Most selenium in human tissue is in the form of selenomethionine, where it can be unspecifically incorporated into body proteins with the amino acid methionine. The skeletal muscle is the main storage for selenium and accounts for about 28% to 46% of the total selenium pool. Food as selenium source Seafood and offal are the richest sources of selenium. Other sources are meat, cereals and dairy products. The selenium content in drinking water is not nutritionally significant in most geographical regions. The amount of selenium in plant foods depends on the amount of selenium in the soil and other factors such as the pH of the soil, the amount of organic matter in the soil and whether the selenium is present in a form suitable for plant uptake. As a result, selenium concentrations in plant foods vary widely depending on geographical location. Bioavailability of selenium Some studies have compared the relative absorption and bioavailability of different forms of selenium. In one study, 10 groups of participants randomly received a placebo or either 200 or 600 µg selenium per day as selenomethionine, sodium selenite or selenium yeast for 16 weeks. The bioavailability of selenium based on urine excretion was highest for selenomethionine and lowest for selenite. EFSA has confirmed the following effects of selenium in the human organism: contributes to normal spermatogenesis contributes to the maintenance of normal hair contributes to the maintenance of normal nails contributes to a normal function of the immune system contributes to a normal thyroid function contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress The selenium tablets by Fairvital are highly dosed with 200µg elementary content. In addition, they are vegetarian and vegan and do not contain magnesium stearate or silicon dioxide. The tablets are easy to swallow due to their small size. One pack of selenium contains 120 tablets and is therefore sufficient for 4 months.

Buffered vitamin C: particularly gentle on the stomach Buffered vitamin C in the form of calcium ascorbate is the stomach-friendly form and therefore the gentle alternative to conventional vitamin C. The vitamin is bound to calcium. As a result, it is not in the acidic ascorbic acid form, but in the basic form. Role of vitamin C in the human organism Vitamin C is one of the water-soluble vitamins. It breaks down very quickly and is quickly used up in the body. On average, there are only 1.5 to 3.5 grams of vitamin C in the body. Most of it is found in the brain, liver, spleen, lungs, eye lenses and white blood cells. In these places it plays a big role. The human body cannot produce or store vitamin C itself, so the nutrient must be supplied as constantly as possible with food. Vitamin C helps protect cells in the body. It is also involved in collagen production. Collagen is important for connective tissue, skin, bones and blood vessels. Cell protection and immune system As an excellent antioxidant, vitamin C can fight off free radicals. Free radicals are formed as waste products of metabolism or enter the body from outside as environmental toxins. They contain only one electron and are therefore very reactive. They snatch electrons from other molecular compounds and thus also convert them into free radicals, which is equivalent to a chain reaction. Since free radicals are always on the lookout for electrons that they can grab, they disrupt important metabolic processes. They attack important proteins or cell walls or even the genetic material (DNA). This can damage various body cells. Vitamin C can neutralize free radicals by suppressing a reaction with oxygen, i.e. oxidation. Calcium ascorbate - buffered vitamin C gentle and protects the stomach particularly easily digestible vegetarian and vegan gluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-free without magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide supports the immune system excellent antioxidant promotes collagen formation

Saccharomyces boulardii: probiotic yeast The yeast Saccharomyces boulardii is closely related to brewer's yeast or baker's yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae), but has special properties. As a probiotic, it can colonize the gastrointestinal tract within a few hours of consumption and inhibit the growth of undesirable microorganisms or displace them. This dietary supplement from Fairvital contains at least 6.4 billion germs. per capsule Although the probiotic Saccharomyces boulardii, which grows well at body temperature, finds optimal conditions in the human digestive tract, it is not a permanent part of the intestinal flora. It can only be detected in the intestine as long as it is ingested with food. If consumption is stopped, the yeast is quickly excreted from the intestine. Saccharomyces boulardii by Fairvital highly dosed Standardized to at least 6.4 billion germs per capsule in DRcaps® capsules for timed release   Tip after taking antibiotics or when traveling to a tropical country vegetarian and vegan gluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-free without magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide
