Vitamins & Minerals

We cannot see them, and yet they are incredibly important for many of our bodily functions - vitamins and minerals. This topic is about exactly these hidden micronutrients.

We will introduce you to sodium, potassium, phosphorus and co., explain to you which important vitamins there are and give you information about their functions, where they can be found and what happens if we take in too much or too little of them.

When looking at the possible shortages or oversupply of certain vitamins and minerals, we focus on the current tendencies in industrialized countries and point out who should pay closer attention to their vitamin & mineral balance.

In addition, at the end of the topic you will get a small insight into the world of phytochemicals.
