Flu in children: how to recover energy with a reconstituent

Every year when the first cold spells appear, parents, grandparents and teachers get ready to tackle a relentless wave of flu in children, causing fever, colds, coughs, bone pain and gastrointestinal problems.

Even once they have recovered, children in any case continue to feel tired, and often have flu-like after-effects.

Rest is fundamental for ensuring full healing, recovering energy and restoring correct immune defence levels. Every year, the Italian Paediatric Society (SIP) underlines the importance of maintaining a healthy active lifestyle to help children’s bodies to develop correctly, so that they are ready to react at critical times. Furthermore, with an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals, it is possible to strengthen both the immune system and recover energy after convalescence.

If, despite having flu, forced rest doesn’t suit the child’s character, there are plenty of ideas for creative activities done at home. You’ll find some examples on the Junia Pharma blog, “Crescere Insieme” (Growing Together) (link). It is important to avoid sudden changes in temperature and exposure to the risk of new bacterial loads.

Vitamins useful for helping children to recover energy

A healthy, balanced diet, rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, is fundamental for all children, even more so when they need to recover energy after having had flu. This must include:

Vitamin A: ensures a valid support for the immune system. It is present in orange foods, including pumpkin, carrots, apricots and melons, green leaf vegetables, liver, cheeses and milk.
Vitamin B2: helps to provide the body with the correct energy intake. It is present in milk and cheeses, eggs, yeast, green leaf vegetables and liver.
Vitamin B6: useful for improving the efficiency of the immune system and is found in milk, meal, whole wheat cereals, pulses, liver and vegetables.
Vitamin B12: supports the production of red blood cells, and is also an ally for strengthening the immune system. Found in shellfish and fish generally, in chicken, egg yolk and cheeses.
Vitamin C: one of the vitamins we just can’t do without, especially in the winter, thanks to its ability to strengthen the immune system. It is present in citrus fruits, kiwi, peppers, tomatoes and green leaf vegetables.
Vitamin D: it is essential for healthy bone and skeletal growth, and is also useful for absorbing calcium and phosphorus. Vitamin D is also an ally for the immune system and is found in salmon, herring, tuna, egg yolk and green leaf vegetables.

Post-flu in children: a reconstituent for recovering energy

As for adults, specific supplements are available on the market for children that can help them to recover energy after a debilitating convalescence or period of asthenia.

This is the case of the new ApportAL® Vital, the nutritional supplement ideal for everyone, designed to support the body to recover energy, restore the immune defences and get over post-flu convalescence. This is thanks to the multi-vitamin and multi-mineral formulation with 19 nutrients, containing elements enhanced by Sucrosomial® technology, which increases its tolerability, consequently improving absorption and bioavailability.

Furthermore, it contains Royal jelly, the natural remedy known for its wealth of nutrients and immunostimulant properties.

The benefits of restorative multi-vitamin supplements for children

Children’s growth follows some precise and well-defined steps, even though everyone has their own physiological rhythm. It is completely normal, and should not cause (too much) worry if a child begins to make their first sounds before another, if their progress in movements is not immediate or if their appetite is not really what you were expecting.

It is quite common that from weaning onwards, children react unenthusiastically to the introduction of more varied and solid foods. Fruit and vegetables can become the top enemy, leading to tantrums, and may make the parents worry when they are trying to feed their child a diet that can assure healthy, balanced growth.

SIP (the Italian Paediatric Society) recommends setting the rules for a balanced diet right from weaning. And it is precisely in this phase that children begin to develop food preferences, which is why it is very important to be patient if they refuse any foods, using tricks to get them used to eating food that contains the fundamental nutritional elements, carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals.

The risk of the onset of dietary deficiencies.

How do dietary deficiencies appear in children

Iron deficiency (specifically “sideropenia”) is unfortunately very frequent among food deficiency disturbances, especially in children, and must not be underestimated as it could compromise haemoglobin synthesis.

Vitamin C deficiency, on the other hand, has many symptoms, from tiredness to lack of appetite, muscle pain to low immune defences, and consequently a greater tendency to become ill.

Vitamin D deficiency affects children more frequently in the winter, with bone pains, muscle pain, sweating head and hands, tiredness, irritability and sometimes asthma symptoms.

Magnesium deficiency causes tiredness, nausea, lack of appetite, muscle weakness, stomach cramps, shaking and lack of coordination, tachycardia and insomnia.

Selenium deficiency can reduce skeletal muscle functioning and interfere with the production of red blood cells. It is usually manifested with general weakness and the alteration of skin, nail and hair pigmentation.

Zinc deficiency affects the health of the skin, hair and nails, and causes vulnerability of the immune system, delayed wound healing and reduced perception of taste and smell.

Iodine deficiency is rare, because iodine is added to table salt. But it can be manifested with a significant intolerance to the cold and dry, scaly skin.

When, despite all efforts to put balanced meals rich in vital nutrients on the table, the first signs of dietary deficiencies appear, it is probably worth making recourse to multi-vitamin or restorative nutritional supplements.

Of course, first of all, consult your paediatrician.

Here are some signs we should particularly pay attention to:

Constant food refusal
Difficulty in concentrating
Constant tiredness that does not pass after a night’s sleep
General weakness and muscle pain
Frequent colds, with a fever, sore throat, bronchitis

Restorative multi-vitamin supplements for children

The aim of restorative supplements for children is to fight tiredness and nutritional deficits, at the same time stimulating the immune system.

Apportal® Vital is the nutritional supplement ideal for children, with 19 nutrients including arginine, carnitine and Royal jelly.

The complete formulation aids the normal functioning of the immune system for a complete restorative effect, which benefits the whole body.

How important is post-training physical recovery

Physical activity plays a fundamental role in a healthy lifestyle, and the same goes for subsequent physical recovery.

But who has never had painful muscles and a general feeling of numbness after intensive sports training?

After particularly intensive training, it is normal to have numb, tired muscles: this is the way the body tells us we need to rest. You should have a break of 24/48 hours to allow the body to recover tone and energy and repair the fibres responsible for unpleasant muscle pain.

Why is post-training physical recovery so important? Because the body has to rest to remain efficient. Furthermore, muscle recovery is required to make progress at sporting level, develop muscle mass and burn excess fat.

Physical recovery starts immediately after sport and on the days between training sessions. In this phase, the body begins the process of regeneration of the structures that have been stressed by intense stimuli, and works to return to pre-training conditions.

Exaggerating with sporting activities without giving the body the time it needs to regenerate, increases the risk of injuries and suffering more frequently from muscle pain, cramps and overexertion.

Vitamins and minerals useful for muscle recovery

A healthy diet is even more important during constant sporting activities, because the body needs some nutrients that support muscle activity.

Some of these fundamental nutrients for muscle well-being are:

Zinc
Magnesium
Vitamin B6
Carnitine
Arginine

Furthermore, vitamin C and iron also help muscle recovery, reduce tiredness and fatigue, while vitamin E helps to protect the cells from the free radicals generated by the body as a reaction to intensive physical effort.

Supplements for post-training physical recovery

The charge of endorphins we get after a training session is certainly gratifying, and it almost seems that the key to bodily well-being is exactly that. However, health also needs an appropriate intake of nutrients to make recovery after sports training even more effective.

Correct training must include an adequate intake of vitamins and minerals, as this significantly affects athletic performance and productivity in everyday life.

Apportal® products are nutritional supplements that support the body in both full muscle recovery and in topping up the energy charge, in order to be ready for a new training session.

The muscle function of Apportal® is particularly promoted by:

Selenium: fundamental support for good muscle and skeletal functioning and to fight physical and mental weakness.

Zinc: improved sporting performance, thanks to its ability to repair and regenerate the tissues, as well as stimulate muscle recovery.

Magnesium: correct muscle performance, controlling muscle contractions and heart beat.

Arginine: improved muscle efficiency, promoting rapid recovery after sporting performance.

Carnitine: useful for facilitating muscle recovery and muscle tissue repair, fighting the feeling of tiredness and fatigue.

What vitamins and minerals should be integrate after physical activity

Sporting activities, practised both inside and outdoors, in the summer or winter, make the human body lose a large amount of water and mineral salts. Physical well-being, especially for people who regularly practise sports, necessarily requires the correct hydration of the body, one of the basic principles of physical well-being along with a healthy, balanced diet.

After physical activity, the body needs to restore both a good amount of liquids and vitamins and minerals. Minerals are so-called essential micro-nutrients because they cannot be synthesised by the body and can therefore only be taken in with food. This is why doctors and nutritionists insist greatly on the importance of a diet that includes fruit, vegetables and the right amount of proteins and carbohydrates.

The 22 minerals in the body are indispensable for many physiological functions, including carrying oxygen to the cells, blood coagulation and muscle function.

The most important in the sports field are iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium and selenium, while the vitamins to be integrated after physical activity are vitamin D, group B vitamins, vitamin C, vitamin A and vitamin E, all of which have antioxidant properties.

Nutritional supplements suited to integrating vitamins and minerals after physical activity

Generally, people who practise sports constantly should have a varied diet based on the principles of the Mediterranean diet: the basic foodstuffs include fruit, vegetables, carbohydrates (bread, pasta, rice, spelt, potatoes) and pulses (beans, chick peas, lentils). The noble proteins, found in fish and eggs, as well as meat, should not be eaten more than twice a week. A balanced diet also includes milk, yoghurt, dairy products and cheeses, as well as raw extra-virgin olive oil as a condiment.

When the diet is insufficient to meet the body’s needs after sporting activities, the supplements in the ApportAL® range contain vitamins and minerals that help the body to recover after physical activity, intervening in the muscle function to reduce the feeling of fatigue.

This is thanks to the complete formulation that contains 19 nutrients that help to recover energy. Fundamental for sports people:

Selenium: essential antioxidant for correct muscle function.
Magnesium: useful for guaranteeing correct muscle performance and indispensable for the production of energy.
Arginine: improves muscle efficiency, helping to dilate the blood vessels.
Carnitine: facilitates muscle recovery and fights fatigue.

Change of season stress

The change of seasons often brings a number of side effects due to stress and tiredness. Both when the temperature increases and there is more daylight, and when the cold starts to creep beneath our clothes and the darkness drastically reduces the amount of time we can spend outdoors, these changes can significantly affect our body.

It is not unusual to feel irritable and tired as we adapt to the new temperatures, habits and rhythms. These are passing, natural and physiological conditions, but if neglected they can affect our physical and mental well-being, even compromising our quality of life and limiting the energy we have available during the day.

Symptoms of stress from change of seasons: how to recognise them

It is not just particular fatigue that acts as an alarm bell for stress from change of seasons. Other symptoms, while only transitory and not dangerous, can interfere with the management of our daily tasks.

Here are some of the most common symptoms underlying the stress from change of seasons:

Insomnia or excessive sleepiness
Migraine
Irritability
Fatigue
Lack of appetite or nervous eating
Weakening of the immune system

As explained, these are all short-term side effects. However, they can be combated and relieved in order to better cope with the transition from the warm to cold season, or vice versa.

How to combat stress from change of seasons

Let’s start by underlining, once again, that the best ally for fighting all the symptoms of the change of seasons is a healthy lifestyle, with regular physical activity and a balanced diet.

Practising physical activities regularly, even for just 15 minutes a day, helps to improve the production of energy by the body, stimulating the metabolism and mood and improving sleep quality.

At the same time, a diet rich in both fresh fruit and nuts, vegetables, whole wheat cereals and lean meat is the first step to positively affect the body and reduce physical and mental fatigue.

In particular, group B vitamins and vitamin C are effective in coping with the symptoms of the change of seasons, without forgetting the benefits of iron, magnesium, vitamin D, arginine and carnitine.

Which foods are rich in these precious substances? Here are some that are readily available in supermarkets and easy to include in your usual diet:

Vitamin B

Whole wheat cereals (bread, pasta, rice, flour and breakfast cereals)
Yeast
Pork
Legumes
Nuts
Milk and milk by-products
Eggs
Green leaf vegetables
Liver

For example, a simple and complete meal for ensuring a rich quantity of vitamin B without having to work too hard in the kitchen is a salad with lettuce or spinach, boiled eggs, beans or pumpkin seeds, with whole wheat bread croutons. Extra-virgin olive oil is also the ideal condiment to combat stress and low levels of vitality, as it is rich in antioxidant properties.

Vitamin C

Citrus fruits (orange, mandarin, grapefruit, lime, lemon)
Kiwi
Grapes
Redcurrants
Papaya
Pineapple
Strawberries
Melon
Mango
Raspberries
Blueberries
Peppers

Substantially, fruit is rich in vitamin C and, as all nutritionists advise, it must be included in a healthy, balanced diet.

Iron

Liver
Meat, particularly turkey
Fish
Clams and shellfish
Egg yolk
Legumes
Dry mushrooms
Nuts
Whole wheat cereals
Dark green leaf vegetables

Magnesium

Almonds
Cashews
Peanuts
Hazelnuts
Pistachio nuts
Walnuts
Dry chick peas
Sweetcorn
Lentils
Cooked chard
Cooked spinach
Artichokes
Courgettes
Cauliflower
Broccoli
Potatoes
Fennel
Peppers
Carrots
Tomatoes
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

Nuts are therefore the best source of magnesium available through food. The trick is to consume them more often, perhaps adding to a salad: in addition to the nutritional benefits, this will also make it more tasty and appetising.

Vitamin D

Cod liver oil
Oily fish, particularly mackerel, herring, tuna and salmon
Oysters and prawns
Fatty cheese
Butter
Egg yolk
Mushrooms

Mushrooms are therefore the only vegetable source of vitamin D and should never be left out of a varied diet, particularly if fresh and not in oil. The best way to increase the absorption of vitamin D in any case is in the sunlight. Just a few minutes walk outdoors every day can meet the daily requirement.

Arginine

Poultry
Bresaola
Tuna fish
Mackerel
Sardines
Cod
Sole
Peanuts
Pistachio nuts
Cashews
Hazelnuts
Walnuts
Legumes

Carnitine

Mutton, lamb, beef, pork, rabbit
Cheese
Fish

H2: Supplements in sachets to fight the symptoms of the change of seasons

If your diet, sports and, generally, your balanced lifestyle are not sufficient for coping easily with the change of seasons, it is possible to make recourse to complete nutritional supplements.

ApportAL^® (link) contains a combination of vitamins and minerals suited to helping the normal functioning of the body and the immune system, and is a valid support against tiredness and fatigue.

Oxidative stress: symptoms, causes and remedies. What are antioxidants and how they work

We often hear talk of oxidative stress and more or less effective remedies to fight it. But what does this actually mean?

Oxidative stress refers to the hyper-production of oxidative chemical substances, a number of alterations affecting the tissues and cells due to excessive exposure to oxidising agents.

Causes of oxidative stress

Free radicals, i.e., waste products of the body that form inside the cells due to a number of external factors, are responsible for oxidative processes. Some of the most frequent factors in everyday life include:

Pollution
Active and passive smoke
Alcohol and drug abuse
Smog
UV radiation
Aggressive chemicals
Stress
Incorrect drug intake

Free radicals can cause serious damage to the cells and the DNA. Luckily, the body contains antioxidant substances and enzymes, which help to prevent, and in some cases, neutralise the formation of free radicals. However, when the level of free radicals in the body exceeds the counteracting capacity of these antioxidants, we talk of oxidative stress (also known as REDOX imbalance).

Symptoms of oxidative stress

The symptoms of oxidative stress are not always easy to identify, but generally them come in the form of:

Migraine
Muscle pain
Digestion problems
Frequent and abundant sweating
Early skin ageing
Vitiligo
Hair weakening

In the most severe cases, the immune system reacts to the oxidative stress triggering a serious tissue inflammation, and this often leads to diseases such as diabetes, depression, obesity, heart problems and neurological and degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimers.

Oxidative stress remedies

If oxidative stress is suspected, the recommendation is to seek specialist medical advice, with careful examinations and a diagnosis based on objective data.

Generally, every day we can effectively fight oxidative stress by adopting a healthy lifestyle, starting, as always, with our diet. The proliferation of free radicals can be actively fought with a diet rich in foods containing natural antioxidant substances. The recommended foods obviously include fruit and vegetables, specifically:

Black grapes
Blueberries
Blackberries
Plums
Avocado
Kiwi
Citrus fruits
Goji berries
Carrots
Green cabbage
Tomatoes

As well as other foods, including:

Whole wheat cereals
Green tea
Bitter cocoa
Almonds
Walnuts
Cashews
Dates
Dried figs

But the fight against oxidative stress goes beyond food: avoid a sedentary lifestyle, always use sun cream when out in the sun and avoid the excessive intake of sugars and harmful substances.

What are antioxidants

As explained, antioxidants are our body’s weapon for fighting free radicals, the primary enemy of cell well-being.

The main antioxidants are vitamins A, B, C and E, and Coenzyme Q10 and some oligo elements, including selenium, manganese, copper and zinc, which help the antioxidant enzymes that are produced by the body to function.

Some foods are naturally rich in these: most worthy of mention are nuts, one of the foods that contains the highest levels of antioxidants. Many studies have also shown that red wine, obviously when drunk with moderation, offers benefits due to the antioxidant properties of polyphenols.

Nutritional supplements for oxidative stress

ApportAL® products help the body’s defence system with a formulation rich in antioxidant nutrients. Vitamins A, C and E, Selenium, Coenzyme Q10 are in fact some of the nutrients contained in ApportAL® that help to prevent the formation of free radicals and also support the body during more intense stressful periods.

Children and sport: what’s the best way to manage their energy?

How many times, even just to use a cliché, are the parents of lively children advised to “tire them out” through sports. But is it really useful to manage a child’s energy through physical activity?

The answer is yes: sport plays a fundamental role in children’s growth. Not by chance, doctors and paediatricians underline to families the importance of proposing additional physical activities for children to those done at school. Practising a sport helps to channel energy in a positive, constructive manner. Furthermore, the World Health Organisation recommends that both children and adolescents, between 5 and 17, practise at least 60 minutes of moderate to intense aerobic activity every day.

Whether team or individual sports, they offer benefits for both physical, muscle and bone development and psychological well-being. From an early age, sport is a valid support for personal growth, helping children to manage anxiety and frustration, develop a more cooperative attitude, independence and awareness.

Which vitamins are important for children who practise sports

Children who practise sports need more nutritional and energy intake to compensate the energy they burn, guaranteeing an appropriate support to growth and development.

A correct diet must therefore consider all these factors, balancing proteins, fats and carbohydrates. In addition, some vitamins and minerals must be included in their diet:

Carnitine: supports rapid muscle recovery and reduces the risk of muscle pain.
Arginine: supports the flow of oxygen to the muscles, with properties that are able to stimulate blood circulation and the production of nitric oxide, helping to reduce fatigue.
Vitamin A: fundamental for bone development, for the skin, the eyes, and also protects from free radicals.
Group B vitamins: are important for fighting oxidative stress and guaranteeing a healthy cardiovascular system.
Vitamin C: it is very important for sporting activities, as it stimulates the production of antioxidants, and also supports health cartilage, bones and blood vessels.
Vitamin E: vitamin E also fights free radicals and supports cell renewal.
Vitamin D: vitamin D deficiency in children who practise sports can cause a significant reduction in muscle strength, joint pain, and increased incidence of traumas, bone fractures and respiratory infections.

The nutritional supplement for children who practise sport

Children’s energy needs are greater than that of adults: in fact, without an adequate energy intake, the probability of weakness and general physical and intellectual laziness among children increases. Calorie intake through macro-nutrients (carbohydrates, proteins and fats) is only one of the aspects to consider, the diet must be varied and balanced, so that children take in all the substances they require in their food, especially when they practise sports.

When the intake from the diet is not sufficient to cover all needs, ApportAL® VitAL is the nutritional supplement for children and adolescents, formulated also to cover their energy needs during intensive sporting activities.

The completeness of the nutrients, the excellent palatability and extraordinary tolerability make it the ideal supplement to support physical and mental development both during training and any sports contests.

Study fatigue: vitamins for memory and concentration

Intensive study periods can be really heavy going at any time of a student’s education, from high school to university and other specialisation courses during adult life. Study tiredness is manifested through excessive effort in concentrating, difficulty in remembering notions and processing the contents we read.

Tiredness and mental fatigue are a direct consequence of the stress caused by having to memorise lots of information, often in addition to the frustration of reading and re-reading for hours without ever really taking in all the information. Without considering that even anxiety and agitation correlated to school performance and an excessive schedule of commitments can drastically deplete energy levels.

There are several simple practical precautions we can take to prevent mental fatigue and optimise concentration when studying, and help to improve memory levels. Here are some examples.

The first advice is to always try to have a few minutes’ break every hour.
Secondly, set a target of a few pages at a time, without overlapping different subjects
Thirdly: highlight only the most important sentences in the book, in order to create a visual summary.
Split the day studying with an hour or two of sport, better if outdoors. A little exercise helps to recharge the mental and physical batteries!
Try not to study until late at night, as the mind will be tired out by a full day of work, and our sight will suffer the consequences too.
Try to sleep at least 7-8 hours a night.
Maintain a regular routine and lifestyle.
Follow a healthy diet: complete, balanced meals provide our brain with all the nutrients it needs to work efficiently. Avoiding large amounts of alcohol and heavy meals that are hard to digest is also a great help!

Vitamins for improving memory and concentration

Like all aspects of human health and well-being, also for recovering alertness, memory and concentration, the first suggestion is to follow a diet rich in vitamins and mineral salts, some of which have proven benefits on the nervous system (including magnesium, iron, zinc, group B vitamins).

Furthermore, some foods help to stimulate cognitive capacities; these are:

Foods rich in Omega 3: blue fish, nuts, linseed oil, avocado and green leaf vegetables .
Tomatoes: tomatoes are powerful antioxidants that help to protect the brain from damage caused by free radicals.
Eggs: rich in group B vitamins, particularly B6, B12 and folic acid.

Supplements for combating study fatigue

To fight fatigue and improve concentration, a correct intake of vitamins and minerals is of fundamental importance. Correct cognitive function also depends on the balance of all nutrients involved in maintaining the well-being of the nervous system.

ApportAL® products are ideal nutritional supplements for offering strength and vitality for cognitive functions, at the same time improving the immune system which is overstretched by study fatigue.

ApportAL® and ApportAL® VitAL contain some active substances formulated to increase the physical and mental energy available, relieving the tiredness that hinders serene study and concentration.

Post-Covid chronic fatigue: how to recover energy levels

Constant fatigue, shortness of breath, energy used up quickly, states of confusion: these are just some of the symptoms suffered by many patients who have got over Covid-19 but who are having trouble recovering ideal levels of physical and mental well-being. These symptoms persist even after we are no longer positive to the virus, and are known as the “Long Covid effect”, a condition that can affect patients of every age and sex.

The aim of anyone suffering from post-Covid chronic fatigue is obviously to return to correct levels of vitality, recovering the strength needed to perform normal everyday actions without feeling tired and worn out after any minimum effort. Of course, complete recovery is almost never immediate, and this implies a good dose of patience, as well as close attention to small details that can make the difference. For example:

Avoid alcohol and foods that slow down the digestion
Consider physiotherapy to recover full body function
Keep physically active, proceeding gradually with small targets
Having a daily routine helps to assure a renewed sense of stability and humour
Mental health is important: it is normal to lose heart when little progress is being made. So it is a good idea to talk to the family and your GP, to avoid isolation.
Sleep a suitable number of hours

Do not work too hard to get better quickly, as we have to allow the body to follow its own recovery times. Avoid intensive physical activity and training, preferring for example longer and longer walks, and taking a break to catch your breath. As always, on top of this, ensure a balanced diet to top up liquids, vitamins and mineral salts. So plenty of fruit and vegetables, including smoothies, extracts and juices.

Post-Covid: the correct diet for recovering energy

Recovering energy after Covid19 convalescence necessarily requires a diet rich in nutrients, vitamins and minerals. The Mediterranean diet is always the best choice for guaranteeing the right calorie and energy intake.

It is advisable to prefer light, easily digestible meals, alternating lean meat, fish, pasta, potatoes, pulses, eggs and dairy foods. The essential nutrients include proteins and amino acids, which help to recover muscle tone and physical strength.

Supplements for combating post-Covid chronic fatigue

ApportAL® contains functional active ingredients for recovery physical and mental energy and for relieving the typical sensation of tiredness during post-Covid convalescence.

In fact, a survey was recently conducted on around 200 patients suffering from post-Covid symptoms, who were advised to take the food supplement ApportAL®, containing vitamins and minerals that help to reduce fatigue, as well as amino acids and phytoextracts for 28 consecutive days.

The results obtained show a significant improvement in coping with chronic fatigue.

This is thanks to the complete formulation, and particularly the presence of:

Group B vitamins, which provide the body with a good dose of energy, without which it would be a constant effort to perform normal everyday activities.
Iron, fundamental for ensuring the correct oxygenation of the body. One detail that should not be neglected when dealing with Covid-19 are the repercussions on the respiratory system.
Coenzyme Q10, essential for recharging the cells with energy and restoring physical efficiency.
Magnesium, which aid correct muscle activity, also supporting the functioning of the nervous system.
