Calcium phosphate

Calcium phosphate is the calcium salt of phosphoric acid used to prevent and treat calcium deficiencies. Calcium is necessary for a number of normal body functions, especially bone formation and maintenance. Its main function is to act as a source of calcium being involved in the processes of muscle contraction, blood clotting or vasodilation. The consumption of calcium phosphate helps to maintain an adequate level of calcium, preventing muscle cramps in athletes. Calcium supplements not only increase bone mineral density, but also help maintain lean muscle mass in endurance athletes. Maintaining adequate calcium levels facilitates weight loss, avoids high blood pressures and facilitates heart contractions; reduces anxiety and headaches, irritability, insomnia and menopause-related depression.

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, whose most notorious and abundant component is beta-glucan (which reduces 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. In addition to these benefits, gelatin helps to combat constipation, maintain bones and restore and regenerate joints to delay the natural sagging process of aging.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is produced naturally by our body through exposure to sunlight. It is also present in some foods such as egg yolk, milk and fish. Its main benefits are: improves the immune system; reduces inflammation in the body; strengthens bones and teeth; prevents diabetes; improves cardiovascular health; strengthens muscles and prevents diseases such as some types of cancer.

It has anti-inflammatory, anti-spasmodic, expectorant, mucolytic, antitussive, antimicrobial, antioxidant, antiseptic, diuretic, emollient, laxative and tonic properties. It helps to improve digestive problems because it exerts a positive action on the stomach by calming acidity and eliminating the feeling of fullness. In cases of respiratory problems it calms the cough and disinfects the airways.

Lemon

Rich in phenolic compounds and flavonoids, lemon demonstrates powerful antioxidant properties, by the ability to eliminate excess free radicals, protecting cells and their DNA from injury, and is used in the prevention of cancerous processes and the harmful effects of chemotherapy. It also has antibacterial and antifungal activity. Its main benefits are: it helps to treat constipation, detoxifies the body, speeds up the healing process, reduces swelling and blood pressure, relieves gout pain or rheumatism, prevents premature aging, prevents some types of cancer and treats and anemia.

Ginger

Ginger is a root with several health benefits: it helps to lose weight; it fights acidity and intestinal gas; it regulates blood pressure; it improves nausea and vomiting and has an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory action.

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.

Xanthan gum

Xanthan gum is a polysaccharide widely used in food products that helps ingredients mix effectively. It is also used to treat constipation and regulate cholesterol levels.

Potassium sorbate

Potassium sorbate or potassium salt of sorbic acid acts as a food preservative, mild, highly effective and safe fungicide and bactericide that does not alter the taste of food. It is the salt resulting from the reaction of sorbic acid and potassium hydroxide, once diluted it releases sorbic acid. Sorbates retard and prevent the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, mold and fungi by reducing water and increasing acidity, and preserve the flavor, color, texture and nutritional value of the foods to which they are added.

Sodium benzonate

Sodium benzoate is the sodium salt of benzoic acid and functions as a food preservative. With antifungal properties, it protects food against the invasion of fungi that can cause disease. Sodium benzoate balances the pH level of food and increases the total acidity of food. By lowering the pH, sodium benzoate creates a barrier where fungi cannot grow and spread.

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.

Chrome

Chromium is a mineral obtained from food that is essential for the functioning of our body. The functions of chromium are closely linked to the functions of insulin, but it is important to note that chromium does not replace insulin or stimulate the body to produce larger quantities, it only enhances its action making it act more effectively. Contributes to the normal metabolism of macronutrients and to the maintenance of normal blood glucose levels. Chromium can be consumed through meat and animal fat, fish, coffee, tea and brown sugar.

5HTP

5HTP is a type of amino acid naturally produced by the body and used in the serotonin production process. When the levels of 5HTP are low, the body cannot produce enough serotonin, and as a consequence the person's risk of developing psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression increases. 5HTP is useful to help treat depression, anxiety, sleep problems, obesity and fribromyalgia.

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.
