Lipase is a digestive enzyme responsible for breaking down fats into simpler compounds (fatty acids and glycerol) that can be digested in the intestine. It is produced in the pancreas and partially in the stomach and intestine. If lipase is deficient, fats are not fully digested, causing a feeling of heaviness, bloating, flatulence, diarrhea and, […]
Anti-aging medicine is looking for ways to slow down aging at the cellular level. One of the promising directions is to support the work of mitochondria, the “energy stations” of the cell. Pyrroloquinolinequinone (PQQ) is a relatively new vitamin-like substance that has attracted the attention of scientists due to its ability to stimulate the formation […]
I propose to discuss a substance that still remains in the shadows, although many researchers call it the “vitamin of longevity” – ergothioneine. Although little attention is paid to it in popular sources, it has been studied in scientific circles for over a hundred years. Due to its powerful antioxidant properties and ability to protect […]
In the world of vitamins there are both celebrities, known to everyone and everyone, and heroes of the second plan, about which only a few people know. It is to such little-studied substances belongs vitamin B15, better known as pangamic acid. Despite its modest status, pangamic acid has gained popularity among athletes, promising increased endurance […]
Pantothenic acid, or vitamin B5, is one of the key elements for a healthy body. This water-soluble vitamin is involved in metabolism, helps manage stress and plays an important role in maintaining healthy skin. Despite its importance, B5 is not talked about as often as, for example, vitamin C or B12. In this article, let’s […]
Folic acid (or vitamin B9) plays a key role in the normal functioning of the body, especially during the period of active cell division. It is essential for DNA synthesis and cell division, making it especially important during pregnancy. Recent studies emphasize the importance of folic acid in the prevention of birth defects, especially neurodevelopmental […]
Inositol is a substance that belongs to the group of vitamins, and its chemical structure resembles carbohydrates. It exists in various forms, and although it is often associated with a role as a secondary messenger in cells, its effects on the nervous system have attracted attention as a potential treatment for mental disorders. In this […]
Choline is an important organic compound that plays a key role in lipid metabolism and the maintenance of normal liver function. Although often underestimated, choline is essential for the synthesis of phospholipids such as phosphatidylcholine, which make up cell membranes and are important for normal liver function. In recent years, research has confirmed the importance […]
Orotic acid (OA) is an important component of cell metabolism, playing a key role in energy metabolism and cellular repair. There is a wealth of research supporting its importance in tissue regeneration and improving the functional characteristics of cells, making it particularly important for people facing various diseases or physiological stresses. In this article, we […]
Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA), or vitamin B10, is an essential element for the normal functioning of the human body. Although this vitamin is not as widely known as other B vitamins, its role in metabolism as well as its effects on skin health, hair health, and overall body physiology cannot be underestimated. In this article, we […]
Coenzyme Q10 (or ubiquinone) is a fat-soluble substance that occurs naturally in human cells and plays a key role in cellular respiration and energy production. It is involved in mitochondrial metabolism, where it helps synthesize ATP, the main molecule that supplies cells with energy. Because of its importance to metabolism and cardiovascular health, coenzyme Q10 […]
Bioflavonoids are a group of natural substances widely distributed in plants. They play an important role in maintaining human health with their powerful antioxidant properties. One of the most significant effects of bioflavonoids is their impact on vascular health and the cardiovascular system. In this article, we will look at how bioflavonoids affect the body’s […]
