The above micronutrient recommendations were made with the help of medical experts. All statements are supported by scientific studies with high levels of evidence. For a therapy recommendation, only clinical studies with the highest levels of evidence (grade 1a/1b and 2a/2b) were used, which due to their high significance support the therapy recommendation. These data are updated at certain intervals.
