Nutrients

Benefits

Vitamin C

Vitamin E

Vitamin K

Calcium

Magnesium

Sodium

Zinc

Good for eyesight, growth and skin. Provitamin A protects the
organism against free radicals.

By stimulating our organism’s defences against infectious
agents (bacteria or viruses), it reinforces our immune system. It
also promotes iron absorption.

Vitamin E has antioxidant properties, helping to protect our
cells.

This is vital for blood coagulation and helps to fix calcium.

It contributes to the formation and solidity of bones and teeth.

This regulates the metabolism of muscle, heart and nervous 
tissue.

Sodium mainly helps to maintain cell hydration.

This promotes cell renewal, the immune system and the healing
of wounds.

Provitamin A (carotene)

Potassium

It regulates blood pressure.

Iron

Iron plays a key role in the manufacture of haemoglobin (the
vital pigment of red blood cells that carries oxygen to all the
other cells in our body).

Vitamin D

It regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism, thus ensuring
healthy skeletal development.

Vitamin B9

Vitamin B9 (folic acid) prevents certain forms of anaemia and
helps the nervous system function properly.
