  • Vitamins: A, C, D, E, K, B6, B12, biotin, folic acid.
  • Carotenoids: beta-carotene, lycopene
  • Trace elements: iron, copper, manganese, selenium, zinc
  • Omega-3 fatty acids: docosahexaenoic acid, eicosapentaenoic acid.
  • Secondary plant compounds: polyphenols
  • Probiotics: Bifidobacterium animalis, Bifidobacterium bifidum, Bifidobacterium infantis, Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum, Lactobacillus acidophilus, Lactobacillus casei, Lactobacillus lactis, Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, Lactobacillus salivarius.

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.
