• Vitamin B1 is part of the most important enzymes of carbohydrate and energy metabolism, provides the body with energy and plastic substances, as well as metabolism of branched chain amino acids. The lack of this vitamin leads to serious disorders of the nervous, digestive and cardiovascular systems.
• Vitamin B5 is involved in protein, fat, carbohydrate metabolism, cholesterol metabolism, synthesis of some hormones, hemoglobin, promotes absorption of amino acids and sugars in the intestinal tract, supports the function of the adrenal cortex. Lack of Pantothenic acid can lead to skin lesions and mucous membranes.
• Vitamin B12 plays an important role in the metabolism and conversion of amino acids. Folate and vitamin B12 are interrelated in vitamins, involved in hematopoiesis. A lack of vitamin B12 leads to the development of partial or secondary folate deficiency as well as anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia.
• Vitamin PP participates in redox reactions of energy metabolism. Insufficient intake of vitamin is accompanied by disturbance of the normal condition of the skin, gastrointestinal tract and nervous system.
• Potassium is the major intracellular ion that participates in the regulation of water, acid and electrolyte balance, involved in the processes of nerve impulses, regulation of blood pressure.
• Phosphorus takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates the acid-alkaline balance, part of phospholipids, nucleotides and nucleic acids, necessary for mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, rickets.
• Copper is part of enzymes with redox activity involved in iron metabolism and stimulates the absorption of proteins and carbohydrates. The processes involved in providing tissues with oxygen. Deficiency is manifested by malformations of the cardiovascular system and skeleton, development of connective tissue dysplasia.
• Zinc is part of over 300 enzymes involved in the processes of synthesis and breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, fats, nucleic acids and in regulation of expression of several genes. Insufficient intake leads to anemia, secondary immunodeficiency, liver cirrhosis, sexual dysfunction, presence of fetal malformations. Research in recent years revealed the ability of high doses of zinc can disrupt copper absorption and thus contribute to development of anemia.
