Vitamins are essential nutrients vital for the normal functioning of the body. They are organic substances that the body cannot produce in sufficient quantities and therefore must be obtained through diet. They are categorized into water-soluble and fat-soluble vitamins.
B-complex vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, and B12) and vitamin C.
Our body can synthesize vitamins D and K.
Vitamins protect cells from oxidative stress, convert food into energy, maintain the health of skin, eyes, mucous membranes, and bones, support growth and development, strengthen the immune system, and much more.
The heart and blood vessels form the cardiovascular (circulatory) system. The heart pumps blood to the lungs to be enriched with oxygen and then pushes oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. Blood circulating in this system delivers oxygen and nutrients to body tissues and removes waste products (like carbon dioxide) from the tissues.
A heart attack (myocardial infarction) is the damage or death of a part of the heart muscle due to a reduction or complete stoppage of blood and oxygen supply.
Heart problems and diseases are often linked to lifestyle factors that increase the risk of atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries). Lifestyle changes and dietary supplements (magnesium, Q10, ginkgo, red yeast rice, resveratrol, omega-3) can significantly help prevent the development of certain heart issues.
Coenzyme Q10 is a substance naturally found in the body and plays a crucial role in energy production within cells. CoQ10 is particularly important because the heart requires significant amounts of energy to function. This coenzyme is present in high concentrations in the myocardium (heart muscle) and plays a key role in the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which is the basic energy unit of cells.
