Spirulina, a type of algae, provides support to the immune system through its rich nutrients and relieves fatigue.
The blue-green spirulina is a type of algae that contains both chlorophyll (green pigment) and phycocyanin (blue pigment). These single-celled algae form spiral microscopic strands and thrive in warm, fresh water.
With its abundance of essential nutrients, spirulina is invaluable to our body. It contains more than 60% complete protein, almost three times more than beef, and is rich in vitamin B complex, vitamin E, carotenoids, iron, manganese, zinc and essential fatty acids such as gamma-linolenic acid. With ten different mixed carotenoids, spirulina is the most beta-carotene-rich food known.

Taurine, an amino acid also known as aminosulfonic acid due to its sulfur content, plays a crucial role in providing energy and oxygen to the body. In addition to these functions, taurine also has other important properties. It is produced by all mammals and is one of the most abundant amino acids, found in various tissues. Dietary sources of taurine are primarily protein-rich, animal foods such as meat, fish, shellfish, poultry and eggs.
Although the body is able to produce taurine itself from the amino acids methionine and cysteine, these sources are often suboptimal. That is why taurine supplementation can offer a good solution. Taurine works closely with zinc and therefore has a synergistic effect with this mineral. It is therefore very important to get enough zinc.

Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) has been known for centuries for its relaxing and soothing properties, which is why it is often used for stress and to sleep better. It is a natural tranquilizer.
The reputation of the valerian plant stretches back centuries. The plant is still common in the Netherlands, mainly growing in airy, moist soil. The roots emit a strong and characteristic odor that cats are especially fond of. In the past, our superstitious ancestors used valerian to ward off 'evil'. For example, bridal couples wore wreaths of valerian leaves to ward off evil elves, while farmers used the herb to prevent 'milk bewitchment'. 

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) is the precursor of the biologically active form of vitamin B1, thiamine pyrophosphate (TTP). Magnesium is required for the conversion of thiamine into TTP. Thiamine pyrophosphate is involved as a coenzyme in various reactions related to energy metabolism. Including the release of energy from fats, carbohydrates and proteins. It plays a role in energy metabolism in all cells, including the cells of the heart and nervous system. With which it contributes to the normal functioning of the heart and nervous system. Vitamin B1 is also important for brain and nerve functions, which are decisive for aspects such as concentration, memory and mood.

Vitamin B12 plays a role in homocysteine metabolism. Vitamin B12 is also involved in the cell division process and the production of red blood cells, among other things. It also plays a role in the citric acid cycle, which is important for energy metabolism and can help reduce fatigue. Vitamin B12 is also important for normal functioning of the nervous system, good for concentration, memory and mood.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) plays a role as a coenzyme in energy metabolism and supports energy production by acting as a biochemical electron carrier in many oxidation and reduction reactions involved. It also helps protect fats, proteins and DNA from oxidation, as the production of glutathione and the antioxidant enzyme gluthathione peroxidase depend on this vitamin. In addition, vitamin B2 can help to reduce fatigue, it helps to maintain normal red blood cells, it is good for the skin, eyes, mucous membranes and the nervous system.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin, Niacinamide, Inositol Hexanicotinate) supports energy production by being part of two important coenzymes in the body: NAD (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide) and NADP (Nicotinamide Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate). These two substances activate more than two hundred specific enzymes (dehydrogenase) that are important for electron transport and cell respiration (dissimilation). Cell respiration is the process by which ATP (adenosine triphosphate, carrier of chemical energy) is generated in the mitochondria (the “energy generator” of the cell) by the combustion of nutrients. Vitamin B3 can contribute to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. In addition, it is good for the skin, mucous membranes, the nervous system and normal psychological functioning.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (P-5'-P)) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6. This form is immediately available, the other form of vitamin B6 Pyridoxine-HCL must first be converted in the body. P-5'-P is involved in more than 140 enzymatic reactions in the body and is therefore an indispensable vitamin. Also, almost all metabolic reactions of amino acids require P-5'-P dependent enzymes. P-5'-P dependent enzymes also play a role in glycogen metabolism, which in turn contributes to a good energy supply. P-5'-P is also involved in the production of hemoglobin and also plays a role in the mitochondria through the involvement of the production of heme compounds.
