Iron
Iron is abundant in biology. Iron-proteins are found in all living organisms, ranging from the evolutionarily primitive archaea to humans. The color of blood is due to the hemoglobin, an iron-containing protein. As illustrated by hemoglobin, iron often is bound to cofactors, e.g. in hemes.
Iron is a necessary trace element found in nearly all living organisms. Iron-containing enzymes and proteins, often containing heme prosthetic groups, participate in many biological oxidations and in transport.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C helps in absorption of Iron.
Calcium
Calcium supplementation can improve bone mineral accretion and lean body mass.
Zinc
- Every single cell in the body needs Zinc.
- Approx. 300 enzymes are Zinc metallo-enzymes. They are primarily needed for the biosynthesis of DNA, RNA, nucleoproteins, and other proteins.
- No cell can divide without zinc.
Copper
They are involved in the bio-chemistry of every organ ,being particularly essential for the proper development of:
- Brain and nerves
- Cardio vascular system
- Musculo-skeletal system
- Eyes, skin and hair
Vitamin B Complex
All B-Vitamins act as regulators of metabolic processes acting as co-enzymes. Without them the energy – yielding nutrients cannot provide energy.
Deficiency in children affects
- Appetite,
- gastro-intestinal activity,
- Normal metabolism,
- Endocrine system,
- Immune function,
- Blood sugar balance,
- Brain function.
Folic acid
Vital for:
- The synthesis of nucleo-proteins.
- Cell division.
- Haemopoietic system.
Lysine
Lysine is an essential amino acid, which is very heat-sensitive. It is very often lost during cooking and processing of food, resulting in its deficiency.
Lack of lysine affects the ‘quality’ of proteins in the body.
L-Lysine is a necessary building block for all protein in the body. L-Lysine plays a major role in calcium absorption; building muscle protein; recovering from surgery or sports injuries; and the body’s production of hormones, enzymes, and antibodies.
