An amino acid and facultative intermediate in protein metabolism with vascular-damaging properties. Vitamins B12, B6 and folic acid play a decisive role in the conversion of homocysteine into other essential substances in the body.

Indicates the amount of omega-3 fatty acids in the blood. Research suggests that a value of over 4.5% is associated with a reduced risk of heart disease or dementia.

Plays an important role in the mineralisation process of your bones and reduces the risk of fractures. In addition, positive properties have been observed with regard to strengthening the immune system and reducing cardiovascular diseases.

Vitamin B12 is important for haematopoiesis, cell division and regeneration of the mucous membranes as well as being necessary for healthy nerve cells. Sufficiently high levels help to reduce anaemia, neurological deterioration and slow wound healing.

Folic acid (also known as vitamin B9) is essential for the formation of genetic material and blood cells. It also supports the absorption and formation of iron and vitamin B12 and helps to reduce vascular-damaging processes. Folic acid is therefore crucial in the development and maintenance of the organism.

It is the most important marker for assessing iron status in the body and the crucial element for the formation of haemoglobin, the oxygen carrier in our red blood cells. It helps us to assess anaemia, iron overload disorders and liver overload.
