Nutritional supplements are designed to complement the daily diet and ensure the body receives the necessary nutrients at different life stages or in specific health situations. Products such as Meritene and Ensure offer a combination of essential proteins, vitamins, and minerals, ideal for people with additional nutritional needs. They are perfect for supporting those looking to improve their overall well-being, strengthen their immune system, or maintain energy during times of increased physical or mental stress. Ideal for adults, convalescents, or those in situations of greater physical exhaustion.
Proteins and their role in a healthy life:
After water, the body is composed primarily of proteins. In fact, proteins are the main component of cells and are essential for life.
- Proteins are complex structures: they are made up of various smaller units called amino acids, which are linked together by chemical bonds that form a long chain. Some of these amino acids are called "essential" because, although they are essential for life, the human body cannot produce them on its own and must be ingested through food. Our bodies cannot store amino acids in the same way as carbohydrates and fats, so we need a daily supply of them, which we get from the proteins in our diet.
The role of some vitamins and minerals in a healthy life:
- Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue, normal energy-yielding metabolism, normal nervous system and muscle function, and normal protein synthesis, among other functions.
- Potassium contributes to maintaining normal muscle function and blood pressure and is especially recommended if you exercise regularly.
- Zinc is an element that helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Selenium, in addition to being known for its properties as a protector of cells against oxidative damage, contributes to muscle function.
- Iron, vitamin C, riboflavin (vitamin B2), niacin, vitamin B6, folic acid, vitamin B12, and pantothenic acid contribute to metabolism and normal energy levels and combat fatigue.
- Calcium is a building block of our skeleton and contributes to normal bone development. Calcium supplementation can help maintain proper bone health, especially in people with suboptimal intakes.
- Phosphorus is responsible, among other things, for healthy bone formation.
