Nutrients that we consume in larger amounts
A note up front for customers who insist on technical accuracy: Yes, vitamins and minerals are also nutrients! However, to avoid overloading the shop menu, we have opted for this simplification. Moreover, many customers understand "nutrients" more as the calorie-containing nutrients that we consume in larger amounts, namely protein, fat and carbohydrates... Read more

Proteins and Amino Acids – not just for the muscles!
Muscles and skin are made of protein, everyone knows that. It is also logical: the higher the quality of the food you consume, the higher the quality of what is built in the body. Less well known: all immune substances of the body, e.g. antibodies, are also built from amino acids (the smallest building blocks of proteins). So lots of high-quality amino acids (AAs) in the blood = good defence, too few = poor defence. People with allergy problems, e.g. to milk or wheat protein, should favour elemental amino acids; there are no allergies to those.
Unsaturated Fatty Acids – vital, healthy fats
Unsaturated fatty acids are essential for life. The statement that fat is bad is no longer scientifically accurate; it depends on which fats you consume. Increasingly vegan alternatives are now available. Particularly important here are the omega-3 fatty acids, which are available in all forms: plant sources, krill oil or fish oils, each with high concentrations.
Often underestimated – carbohydrates!
Fibre are long-chain indigestible carbohydrates, good for the gut, as is well known. Less well known are, for example, galactose (the only carbohydrate that is really taken up primarily by infants, present in milk, which for example still have to develop the brain and nervous system) and mannose (which is excreted again in the urine, along with everything it binds on the way, such as pathogens). Ribose is a building block of the muscle energy molecule ATP.
