The health benefits of vitamin supplements:

Vitamins are organic substances that are essential for the growth and functioning of the body. These vitamins are supplied by the diet, and cannot be synthesized by the body (with the exception of vitamin D). Their absence or insufficiency in the diet leads to deficiencies.

Vitamins are substances that have no energy value, but are essential for our health. A distinction is made between fat-soluble vitamins (vitamins A, D, E and K), which can be stored by the body, and water-soluble vitamins, which are generally not stored. Vitamin losses are therefore inevitable and must be compensated for by regular intake, bearing in mind that natural vitamins are highly sensitive to heat, light and air oxidation.

How to choose the right vitamins?

Vitamin D, generally supplied by the sun's rays, helps build bones and assimilate calcium. It prevents or reduces cardiovascular disease, cramps, bone rickets and osteoporosis. Vitamin D supplements are available in tablet, drop or capsule form.

Vitamin B is complex, being composed of several other vitamins:

Thiamine (B1): Stimulates the heart and nervous system. Relieves headaches, sciatica and rheumatism. Combats impotence, sterility and growth disorders.
Riboflavin (B2): Promotes red blood cell production, the immune system and growth during pregnancy. Prevents or reduces mucocutaneous problems, hair loss, fatigue, rheumatism, torticollis and muscle cramps, lumbago, skin cracks and fissures, stomatitis, excess sebum, gastric pain, conjunctivitis and excess acidity.
Niacin (B3): Impacts energy and reduces fatigue and neurasthenia. Promotes digestion and cellular respiration. Regulates hormones. Reduces insomnia and mental disorders. Acts on blood circulation. Reduces acne and hay fever. Prevents inflammation and mouth infections. Prevents depression. Limits eye and hearing problems.
Pantothenic acid (B5): Promotes healing, hormone production and healthy hair. Prevents liver disorders, colitis, gastroenteritis, eczema and leg disorders.
Pyroxine (B6): Promotes protein assimilation and memory. Prevents or reduces atherosclerosis, anemia, alcohol-induced nervous disorders, certain types of depression, cardiovascular disorders and skin disorders.
Bioline (B8 or H): Active in fatty acid synthesis (helps transform fatty acids) and energy production.
Folic acid (B9): Promotes DNA production, cell renewal (recommended for pregnant women) and optimization of the nervous and immune systems. Prevents or reduces diarrhea, anemia, weight and appetite loss, headaches, palpitations, irritability and chronic stress.
Cobalamins (B12): Promotes red blood cell production, digestion, carbohydrate, lipid and phosphorus assimilation, protein synthesis and assimilation, and nervous system efficiency. Prevents or reduces hair loss.

Food supplements containing B vitamins are available in capsule form, as tablets to be swallowed, melted or chewed.

Vitamin C promotes toxin elimination, collagen production, wound healing, bacterial immunity, cortisone production, iron binding and nervous system and muscle function. It prevents or reduces oxidative damage, osteoporosis, dental disease, diabetes, tachycardia, colds and infections. Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid. To boost vitamin C intake, we offer film-coated, effervescent, chewable and suckable tablets, as well as cherry and acerola capsules.

An adequate intake of vitamins can help prevent many diseases (cardiovascular, cancer, etc.). Fortunately, our diet covers most of our vitamin requirements. In some cases, however, we may need to supplement our diet, taking care to respect the recommended daily intake to avoid hypervitaminosis, which can lead to various pathologies.
