Betaine

Betaine is an alkaloid substance present in beets with hydrochloric acid. It is also found in other foods such as spinach, cereals, broccoli and in animal products such as seafood. Betaine hydrochloride helps to increase the acidity levels of the stomach making it useful when there is a low stomach acid, which can have several consequences at the digestive level. Hydrochloric acid helps in the destruction of viruses and bacteria that enter the body through food, which is why it is our first line of defense, and it is also necessary for the release of minerals from food.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C is essential for the formation of collagen, which is essential for the normal functioning of blood vessels, bones, cartilage, gums, skin and teeth. It plays an important role in eliminating free radicals and increasing energy levels. By increasing the absorption of iron in food, it contributes to the prevention of low hemoglobin levels. Iron levels in our body are crucial for energy levels. More iron absorption means more energy, less tiredness and less fatigue. Vitamin C intake is not directly related to fighting anemia, but increasing the body's absorption of iron helps, as most cases of anemia are caused by iron deficiency. When we talk about vitamin C, we cannot forget its importance for the functioning of the nervous system. With its antioxidant action, it prevents brain damage and aging by eliminating free radicals naturally produced by cellular metabolism and the neuronal energy consumption system. Vitamin C can also be an important ally in the prevention of neurodegenerative diseases, since it is the production of free radicals that causes neuronal degeneration.

Sucralose

Sucralose is the only sweetener obtained from sugar cane that has the taste of sugar without the bitter residue and without calories. Its molecule is 600 times sweeter than sugar and is fat soluble. It does not accumulate in fatty tissues, does not cross the placenta, is not present in breast milk, since its elimination occurs in the first hours after consumption and in 13 hours it is excreted by the body intact. Studies affirm that sucralose is non-toxic, does not cause cancer, does not affect the immune system, does not affect the central nervous system, does not alter blood glucose and, therefore, can be consumed by anyone, including diabetics, pregnant women, children and the elderly. In addition, sucralose behaves well at high temperatures, being an alternative for the preparation of desserts.

Cereal fibers

Cereals are an important source of fiber. In addition to helping with bowel function and reducing the risk of cancer, they are very important for controlling cholesterol and weight, as they increase the feeling of satiety. Whole grains are the richest in vitamins, minerals and fiber and, therefore, the most recommended for a healthy diet. Oats stand out for their richness in soluble fiber, the most notorious and abundant component of which is beta-glucan (which lowers blood cholesterol).

Gelatin

Gelatin is a great source of hydration ideal for use in diets. It is a great source of collagen that helps strengthen nails and hair, giving them greater shine, thickness, growth and resistance.

Beta-carotene

Beta-carotene is a substance responsible for the pigmentation of many fruits and vegetables, also known as carotenoid. When ingested, this nutrient can be converted into vitamin A or function as an antioxidant to help protect cells from the damaging effects of free radicals. 50% of the vitamin A present in our body comes from the intake of beta-carotene, which is why it is called "provitamin A", i.e., it is a precursor of vitamin A production in the body. In addition to the color it brings to some foods, it is also very important for the health of our body, especially the skin, as it is an antioxidant and precursor of vitamin A, which helps to preserve collagen, increasing skin elasticity. Its consumption also brings benefits to bones, vision and immunity of our organism.

Coenzyme Q10

Coenzyme Q10 is a substance that is present in all the cells of our body, helping in the production of energy. It has the effect of capturing the free radicals generated by our organism that are responsible for the aging processes. In addition to being produced by the body, it can also be found in foods such as avocados, peanuts, spinach, oranges and many others. Its main benefits are the control of cholesterol, the reduction of free radicals, its antioxidant action and an improvement in the symptoms of depression in people with bipolar disorder. Coenzyme Q10 is a great supplement for those suffering from cardiovascular problems, as it is present in the movement of muscle contraction and relaxation.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin found in foods such as eggs, carrots and pumpkin. It is found in two forms: retinol or carotenoids. Retinol is called the "true vitamin A" because it is in a form that is practically ready to be used by the body. Carotenoids are compounds that give orange or yellow color to various vegetables and fruits. The best known and most abundant is beta-carotene. In addition to being an essential vitamin for vision, it strengthens the immune system, regulates cell growth and division and contributes to the maintenance of healthy skin, teeth, bone tissue and mucous membranes. Beta-carotene (carotenoid) acts as an antioxidant that protects cells from free radical damage.

Selenium

Selenium is a micronutrient with several functions in the body and is one of the 26 essential elements for the development of living organisms. The concentration of selenium in the body is influenced by the environment and food. Skeletal muscle is the main storage site for this micronutrient and accounts for about 28-46% of the selenium in the body, and it can also be found in the liver, kidneys and heart. This micronutrient contributes to normal spermatogenesis, maintenance of hair and nails, normal functioning of the immune system, normal thyroid function and protection of cells against undesirable oxidation.
