Cartilage rests between healthy joints and serves as a natural shock absorber. In interaction with the synovial fluid (joint fluid), our joints remain supple and flexible. But the older we get, the less synovial fluid our body produces. Glucosamine Glucosamine is an amino sugar that is found in the human organism and is a component of cartilagewhich is found, for example, in the knee, elbow, shoulder or other joints,joint fluid and connective tissue is. Chondroitin Chondroitin is a mixture of mucopolysaccharides (also: glycosaminoglycans), which are naturally found in cartilage tissue and act as a buffer under pressure. The diverse tasks of MSM MSM (Methylsulfonylmethane) is organic sulfur and occurs naturally in the body, but levels decrease with age. Sulfur is present in every single cell in our body and is an essential building and fuel for connective tissue. Sulfur is essential for health and the production of cartilage, skin, nails and hair. It is also involved in the production of enzymes, immune cells, glutathione (an antioxidant) and amino acids. Hyaluronic acid: shock absorbers and lubricants Hyaluronic acid in synovial fluid acts as a lubricant in all joint movements. If we compare the joints of the human body with a car, the hyaluronic acid in the joint is roughly equivalent to the oil in the engine. We have to change the oil at regular intervals because heat, combustion residues, friction and oil aging reduce viscosity. The oil becomes thinner and is less able to protect the metal surfaces in the engine interior or to lubricate the engine. Hyaluronic acid plays the same role in our joints. If it is not constantly renewed, it loses its viscosity (thickness), becomes thin and is no longer able to absorb the compressive load on the joint. This leads to increased friction and wear and tear on the cartilage surfaces of the joints. What is astaxanthin? Astaxanthin is considered the strongest known plant antioxidant in the world. It is obtained from the freshwater microalgae Haematococcus pluvalis, which is particularly rich in the fat-soluble carotenoid.

Early on, the fresh water alga Haematococcus pluvalis has aroused the researchers' interest. In 1797 the French scientist Girod-Chantrans investigated the approx. 0.1mm small green alga.In case of an exposure to strong sunlight or a state of nutrient deficiency, it forms a blood-red pigmentation, for which the astaxanthin is responsible. This protective function makes it possible for the alga to survive without food or water for more than 40 years. As soon as there is enough food and the weather conditions improve, the alga wakes up from its deep sleep and returns to its green active state. In biotopes such as ponds, small waterholes and even stoups, which are inhabited by the micro alga, a spectacular blood-red colour can occasionally be admired due to the alga's protective properties. Studies about astaxanthin The effect of astaxanthin on the skin appearance has been investigated in a study during which the test persons consumed 2 milligrams of astaxanthin daily. The skin was tested at three points in time to determine possible changes: at the beginning of the study, after two weeks and after four weeks. After only two weeks results could be documented. Improvements of the skin appearance could be observed in seven areas and after two more weeks dry skin showed a higher moisture content, less small lines, less pimples and a more regular fat content.Additionally, the test persons reported less swellings under the eyes and a higher elasticity of the skin. In the control group, which didn't consume astaxanthin, no effects could be documented. (Cosmetic benefits of astaxanthin on humans subjects*, Yamashita, E. 2002; Tominaga, K. 2012)

Beta-carotene 15mg natural – 90 softgels

84309

Beta carotene: For beautiful skin and healthy eyes Beta-carotene is probably the most well-known carotenoid of the more than 400 carotenoids in the plant world and also the carotenoid that occurs most frequently there. Carotenoids are among the phytochemicals that give vegetables and fruit their reddish or yellowish colour. The main sources are yellow and green leafy vegetables, yellow fruits, carrots, spinach, squash, broccoli, grapefruit, mangoes, peaches and tomatoes. However, it can be found in numerous other vegetables and fruits. Beta-carotene is the precursor of vitamin A and is therefore also called provitamin A. If there is a need for vitamin A, the body is able to produce vitamin A (retinol) from beta-carotene. This is of interest to population groups that get very little vitamin A from their diet. You can meet your daily vitamin A needs. by eating vegetables and fruits that are rich in beta-carotene Beta-carotene conversion It was previously assumed that 6 micrograms of beta-carotene is converted to 1 microgram of vitamin A in the body, but it is now believed that for 1 microgram of vitamin A double is needed, namely 12 micrograms of beta-carotene. Beta-carotene that is not needed is partially stored by the body for later conversion, with 80-85% being stored in the subcutaneous fat and 8-12% in the liver. How much beta-carotene is converted to vitamin A depends on how much vitamin A is already present in the body. This prevents excessive accumulation of vitamin A. Excess beta-carotene is easily excreted from the body. Beta-carotene is one of about 50 carotenoids that have a provitamin A effect and is the most active of these. Benefits of beta carotene for hair Vitamin A, which is formed in the body from beta-carotene, is necessary for cell growth in all cells, including hair cells. A lack of vitamin A can lead to dry, dull and lifeless hair and a dry scalp. Vitamin A can also promote hair regrowth.

Lutein 20mg microencapsulated - 90 capsules

81309

Lutein: interesting carotenoid Lutein is an intensely yellow-colored substance that belongs to the group of carotenoids. It is mainly obtained from marigolds or marigolds, but is also found in leafy vegetables such as kale or spinach. There, like beta-carotene, it is masked by the green plant pigment chlorophyll. Like all carotenoids, lutein is fat soluble, which means it is best taken with a meal is taken so that the body can absorb it optimally. Lutein in the eyes In the body, the highest concentration of lutein is in the retina of the eye. It accumulates there in particular in the macula, the area of sharpest vision. Besides zeaxanthin, lutein is the only carotenoid found in the macula. Well protected by microencapsulation Lutein is very sensitive and reacts to exposure to light. It is not heat-resistant, oxidizes in contact with air and as a result loses its effectiveness. That's why this product contains microencapsulated lutein in the form of beadlets. So it is protected from oxidation and decay. Heat, oxygen and light can no longer affect the quality. The microencapsulation only dissolves in the digestive tract and releases the lutein. Lutein capsules from Fairvital highly dosed 20mg lutein per capsule obtained from the marigold (marigold) microencapsulated to protect against oxidation standardized to 20% lutein and 2.5% zeaxanthin gluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-free vegetarian and vegan without magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide

Lycopene 25mg + Vitamin E - 90 capsules

68709

Lycopene from tomatoes This food supplement by Fairvital provides you with high-dose lycopene combined with vitamin E. One capsule contains 500mg of lycopene beadlets standardised to contain 5% lycopene from tomatoes, which is equivalent to 25mg lycopene. One capsule also contains 6mg (9 I.U.) of vitamin E in the form of D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate (provitamin E). The beadlets form means that lycopene is particularly well protected from oxidation by oxygen and retains its properties longer than lycopene, which has not been microencapsulated. Strong antioxidants Lycopene belongs to the group of carotenoids. Carotenoids are fat-soluble, natural pigments in plants that form them to protect the chlorophyll from oxidation. Chlorophyll is in turn needed for photosynthesis, which plants use to produce oxygen, among other things. For this reason, carotenoids such as lycopene have strong antioxidant properties. Lycopene owes its name to the tomatoes in which it is found in high quantities. The scientific name of the tomato is Solanum lycopersicum. Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and also has antioxidant properties that support cell protection. It supports the catching and neutralisation of the so-called free radicals which, due to various circumstances, are produced in the organism and can damage cells. An excess of free radicals is known as oxidative stress. The form of vitamin E in this product, D-alpha-tocopheryl acetate, is a provitamin. It means that the body can convert it into vitamin E (alpha-tocopherol) when needed. Lycopene in food The carotenoid is mainly found in tomatoes, where it gives them their red colour, but lycopene is also found in significant amounts in rosehips, guavas, watermelons and apricots. It is interesting to know that tomato products such as tomato juice, tomato paste, tomato sauce or ketchup have a higher lycopene content than fresh tomatoes and therefore have a higher bioavailability. The reason for this is the release of lycopene during processing. Alternatively, taking food supplements containing lycopene can be a good idea. Vitamin E in food High levels of vitamin E are found primarily in plant foods, with various oils being particularly prominent: wheat germ oil, corn germ oil, soybean oil, olive oil and flaxseed oil. Margarine can also help to cover daily vitamin E requirements. Another good source of vitamin E are nuts like walnuts or Brazil nuts. Animal sources include mainly fish: lobster, mackerel, redfish and trout. Lycopene capsules by Fairvital highly dosed 25mg lycopene per capsule contains 6mg (9 I.U.) vitamin E two important antioxidants combined supports cell protection microencapsulated in beadlets to protect against oxidation vegetarian and vegan gluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-free without magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide

Lycopene: valuable carotenoid Lycopene is one of the secondary plant substances and belongs to the class of carotenoids. Its name is derived from the tomato's scientific name: Solanum lycopersicum. It is a lipophilic (fat-soluble) plant pigment that gives the color to yellow, orange and red plants. Occurrence of lycopene Particularly high levels of the carotenoid lycopene are found in tomatoes, with the level depending on the degree of ripeness of the tomato. Lycopene is also found naturally in watermelons, red grapefruits, rose hips and papayas. Green vegetables also contain lycopene, but it is masked there by the green color of chlorophyll. Nevertheless, tomatoes remain the largest source of lycopene, both in raw and processed form. In addition, lycopene is used as a food coloring in the EU approved and can be found in numerous other foods.

Zeaxanthin 10mg – 60 vegan capsules

82906

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. Zeaxanthin by Fairvital highly dosed 10mg zeaxanthin per capsule natural carotenoid obtained from marigold extract present in the yellow spot of the eye Antioxidant vegetarian and vegan gluten-free, lactose-free, fructose-free without magnesium stearate and silicon dioxide
