Basic­care:­ How to find the right food­supplement

We live in fast-moving times: in addition to work, household, family and leisure activities, there is often no time in everyday life to pay attention to all the essential nutrients in our meals. The result: vitamin and mineral deficiencies, which are usually the cause of physical and mental complaints.

A healthy diet is essential

As the market is literally flooded with vitamin pills, in this article you will find out what you should look out for when buying vitamin supplements to ensure that they really do have the promised effect.

Thanks to digitalisation, pharmaceutical companies have an easy game. Many people therefore buy food supplements without knowing about their ingredients and active substances.

First of all: taking food supplements is not a substitute for a healthy diet! As the name suggests, it is a supplement. A healthy and balanced diet provides an important basis for the supply of vitamins and minerals. That’s why we present a muesli recipe for the perfect start to the day:

METANORM MÜSLI

Ingredients:

  • 30 g fine rolled oats
  • 200 g Greek yoghurt (can also be mixed with curd cheese)
  • 1 banana (kiwi and sour cherries also go well with it)
  • A handful of nuts

Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy as overnight oats or with cooked oatmeal.

Oatmeal, Greek yoghurt and nuts contain the amino acid tryptophan. In combination with the minerals and sugar in bananas, it is converted into the happiness hormone and subsequently into the sleep hormone melatonin. Greek yoghurt also contains casein protein, which provides our immune system and muscles with important building blocks for a long time. METANORM muesli can therefore be enjoyed either in the morning or in the evening before going to bed. A healthy start to the day is not that difficult, doesn’t take much time and provides a balanced supply of vital nutrients.

Complex products instead of high doses of individual substances

Vitamin C for the immune system, calcium for the bones, vitamin D to combat winter depression and we end up with twenty products sitting untouched in our medicine cabinet. As it also takes a lot of effort to swallow umpteen different pills every morning, complex products are the better and more sensible alternative. However, the quality and composition of these complex products vary the most. It’s important to take a close look and compare!

Combination of active ingredients: It is also important that the right combinations of active ingredients are contained in the right dosage. Otherwise the substances will interfere with each other and you won’t absorb anything in the end. Too bad about the money.

Form of the substances: The form of the substances is important for the absorption and processing of vitamins in our body. Micronutrients, for example, should be contained in an activated form to ensure absorption by the body.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Most products lack omega 3, which is an essential part of any basic supply of vitamins, minerals and trace elements. This drastically reduces the choice anyway. If you also attach importance to a sustainable and particularly valuable source of fatty acids, then the solution is very simple.

Seamless supply with ALL IN products

It is not only more economical to take a single product as an optimal basic supply for all nutritional requirements, but the ecological factor should also not be forgotten with the Omega 3 source. Our tip: ALL IN drinking emulsion or capsules also guarantee a complete supply of all vitamins, minerals and trace elements.

Why is omega 3 so important for us humans?

  • Omega 3 fatty acids are important for our metabolism
  • They are important for defence and improve cell function = better quality of life
  • A vegan source of omega 3 is preferable due to heavy metal pollution, the microplastic content in water and overfishing. The ALL IN drinking emulsion or capsules contain all essential micronutrients and are combined with plant-based omega 3.

Only regular intake helps

To be honest, we’ve all had enough of products that we buy in a frenzy but never use or don’t use regularly.

So a dietary supplement is only good if it is actually used. The product should therefore be practical for everyday use and at best taste good (such as the ALL IN drinking emulsion). This increases the likelihood that we will take our vitamins regularly and that the vital substances will then be effective.

Basic care for the whole family

Products are often advertised as being explicitly suitable for children or older people. Due to the broad mode of action of ALL IN, no other product is needed for a child’s mental performance and concentration than for older people who want to strengthen their bones. ALL IN products are therefore suitable for the whole family and are easy on the wallet.
