Vitamín C - je to iba placebo?
Céčko je zrejme najznámejším a najužívanejším vitamínom. Od detstva nás v zime mamičky dopujú šumivým Celaskonom, aby sme boli odolní voči nachladnutiu a chrípke. A hoci najnovšie výskumy toto všetko spochybňujú, teda neexistuje štúdia, ktorá by priamo potvrdzovala, že vitamín C chráni pred chrípkou a nachladnutím, sú tu fakty, ktoré spochybniť nejde.
Je Kolagén len pre starých ľudí?
Kolagén je v podstate bielkovina, ktorú si ľudské telo dokáže vyrobiť samo, pretože ju nutne pre správne fungovanie chrupaviek, žliaz, kĺbov, ale aj kostí, svalov a pokožky. Zo všetkého v našom tele, je všetko práve najviac (až 3 %). Pokiaľ nie ste na sociálnych sieťach, potrebujete naozaj závisieť, až kým vás nezačnete zrazu pobolievať šľachy, kolená, väzivá... Pokiaľ máte správne, vyvážené stravovanie, dostatok pohybu, vaše telo by ste si ho málo vytvorili. Lenže...

B3 - example that food is medicine
Niacin was long considered a mere part of the diet until it was discovered that its deficiency causes skin, digestive, and mental problems known as pellagra. Doctor Goldberger proved that the cause of this disease is not an infection but a one-sided diet without vitamin B3. He conducted an experiment on himself and his colleagues, who consumed exclusively poor diets and began to show symptoms of pellagra. However, when they added nutrients rich in niacin to their diet, the symptoms disappeared. In 1937, niacin was isolated from the liver, confirming its importance and nutritional value.

Do we need the 'sunshine' vitamin D3 only in winter?
When you feel the sun's rays on your skin, know that your body is creating one of the most important vitamins - D3, which was discovered thanks to centuries of research. The discovery of vitamin D3 became one of the most significant medical achievements of the 20th century, saving millions of lives: It was the year 1650 and in the streets of London, doctors noticed that more and more children were suffering from a strange disease called rickets (their bones were weak and brittle, legs deformed, growth slowed). It wasn't until 1919 that Dr. Huldschinsky exposed children with rickets to ultraviolet light and their bones began to heal! Three years later, biochemist McCollum discovered a substance that prevented rickets and called it vitamin D. Gradually, the existence of the most important form of vitamin D3 (cholecalciferol) was discovered.
