Viennese Medical Doctor and Paramedic Strengthen Health with 'Add On Nutrition'
The Big Five Nutrients: How a Balanced Diet Can Strengthen Your Health
A balanced diet supports the immune system, physical and mental performance, and skin health. According to the latest press information from the Vienna-based company 'Add On Nutrition' founded by a medical doctor and a paramedic, five key nutrients play a central role: Vitamin D, Omega-3 fatty acids, Magnesium, Vitamin C, and Zinc.
When Diet Alone Isn't Enough: Supplements as an Alternative
While Vitamin D is mainly produced by sunlight exposure, it can be found in fatty fish and egg yolks, though often in insufficient amounts. Omega-3 fatty acids, essential for heart and brain function, are present in fatty fish, flaxseeds, and walnuts. Magnesium, vital for muscles and nerves, is found in nuts, whole grains, spinach, and bananas. Vitamin C, known for its immune-boosting properties, is abundant in citrus fruits, bell peppers, and berries. Zinc, which supports skin and immune health, is present in pumpkin seeds, lentils, and beef. We all know how important a balanced diet is, but busy schedules, lack of time, or limited food options at work often make it difficult to get all the nutrients we need.
Solution by Katja & Katalin Schlemitz: 'Add On Nutrition'
In cases where a balanced diet alone isn't enough, supplements can be a helpful solution. One company addressing this need is Add On Nutrition, founded by Dr. Katja Schlemitz, a medical doctor specializing in functional medicine, and Katalin Schlemitz, a former paramedic with Vienna's Emergency Medical Services. The company offers a scientifically backed selection of supplements.
The "Big Five" by 'Add On Nutrition' include:
- Vitamin D3 1000: High-dose sunshine vitamin in liquid form
- Omega 3 Complex: Premium fish oil with an optimal EPA/DHA ratio
- Magnesium: Highly bioavailable form for muscle relaxation and nerve function
- Buffered Vitamin C: Stomach-friendly variant for daily intake
- Zinc Picolinate: Effective zinc form for skin, hormones, and immune health
The Big Five and Their Effect on Skin Health
A well-balanced diet not only strengthens the immune system and overall health but also plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy skin. Notably, three of these key nutrients are particularly beneficial for skin health: Vitamin C (supports collagen production), Omega-3 fatty acids (help reduce inflammation), and Zinc (aids in skin regeneration). Whether obtained through a nutrient-rich diet or high-quality supplements, maintaining a proper intake of these essential elements supports well-being, performance, and radiant skin.
