Calcium is available in different forms, one of the better forms being calcium bisglycinate. Calcium bisglycinate has good bioavailability. It is a chelated form of calcium bound to two (bis) molecules of the amino acid glycine, which has more benefits for the body. Calcium is also involved in many body processes, including blood clotting, energy metabolism, muscles, bones, teeth, digestion, nervous system and cell division.
Today, many minerals are available in their inorganic form as nutritional supplements, such as oxides, carbonates and sulphates. However, these forms are poorly absorbed by our body. In nature, minerals occur in bioavailable forms, packaged in proteins, to prevent them from binding to other food components. This significantly increases their bioavailability.

Coenzyme Q10 is an indispensable substance for the body, essential for the conversion of food energy into bioenergy. This fat-soluble substance is found in the mitochondria (the energy factories) of every cell in the human body. Coenzyme Q10 can be found in foods such as meat (e.g. turkey), fish, grains and nuts. However, the amount of Q10 in our diet has decreased, making it often no longer sufficient.
Q10 is widely distributed in our body, which is why it is also called ubiquinone (derived from the Latin word for 'present everywhere'). Ubiquinone is the biologically active and endogenous form of Q10 and plays a crucial role in the energy production of every cell. CoQ10, the most active form of ubiquinone, is efficiently absorbed by the body.

In the Netherlands, this fungus is also known as 'caterpillar killer', 'caterpillar fungus' or 'Chinese caterpillar killer'.

D-Ribose is an essential simple sugar (monosaccharide) that the body can synthesize from glucose and plays a crucial role in cellular energy metabolism. During physical exertion, the need for D-Ribose increases, and supplementation can be useful because it is immediately available to the body. In addition, D-Ribose is necessary for the construction of DNA and RNA.
D-Ribose is indispensable for the human body. It is a monosaccharide with five carbon atoms, also called a pentose sugar. D-Ribose occurs naturally in foods such as red meat, poultry, fish and nuts. The ribose that our body produces itself is converted into energy in the cells. Since the body continuously uses energy, D-Ribose must be continuously produced.
