Glossary

Antioxidant

Antioxidants are molecules that protect the body from damage caused by free radicals by neutralizing them.

DNA

DNA, or deoxyribonucleic acid, is an essential molecule that serves as a carrier of genetic information in living organisms and some viruses.

Electrolytes

Electrolytes are minerals in the body that carry electrical charges and support important functions such as maintaining fluid balance and muscle contraction.

Enzyme

Enzymes are proteins that act as biological catalysts to speed up chemical reactions in the body. They are crucial for many body functions.

Free Radicals

Free radicals are reactive particles that can cause cell damage in our body.

Immune System

The immune system is the body's defense system that protects it from pathogens such as viruses, bacteria and other foreign substances. It includes different cell types, proteins and organs that work together to recognize and fight infections

Ions

Ions are atoms or molecules that carry an electrical charge.

Minerals

Minerals are inorganic substances that occur in nature and are essential to the human body because they support many important functions such as bone formation, nerve function and blood clotting.

pH value

The pH value is a measure of the acid or base strength of an aqueous solution. It ranges from 0 to 14, with a pH value of 7 being considered neutral. Values ​​below 7 indicate an acidic solution and values ​​above 7 indicate a basic (alkaline) solution. The pH value is important for many biological and chemical processes.

RNA

RNA, or ribonucleic acid, is a type of molecule found in all living cells and plays a key role in translating genetic instructions into proteins.

Trace Element

Trace elements are minerals that occur in very small amounts in the body but are essential for numerous biological processes.

Metabolism

Metabolism is the process by which the body converts food into energy and building blocks for cells.

Vitamins

Important nutrients that the body needs for various functions and that must be obtained primarily through food.
