• Choline is part of lecithin, plays a role in the synthesis and metabolism of phospholipids in the liver, is a source of free methyl groups, acts as a lipotropic factor.
• 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.
• 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.
