Reconstituent nutritional supplements for children: when to take them?

Paediatricians and nutritionists agree on the importance of a varied, complete diet for children, rich in vitamins and minerals and low in sugars. Usually the daily meals are enough to meet nutrient needs and support growth, but during the change of seasons, teething or periods of increased irritability, children may lose their appetite or their immune defences may be weakened. In this case, the symptoms occur with frequent episodes of disease, pallor, sleep disturbances and tiredness.

In these situations, the vitamin intake deriving from the diet is not sufficient, and supplements formulated to fight nutritional deficiencies in children are necessary. In any case, we should remember that in all phases of growth and during adulthood, following a varied, balanced diet rich in fresh fruit and vegetables is a must for guaranteeing well-being for the body and helping the immune system to fight viruses and infections.

In which situations should supplements for children be given

The nutritional supplement ApportAL® Vital contains vitamins and minerals formulated to help children’s (and adults’) bodies to restore the correct level of vitamins and minerals. Furthermore, it helps to support the immune system, restoring strength and vitality in convalescence and other particularly debilitating periods. In fact, ApportAL® Vital contains 19 nutrients, including elements strengthened with Sucrosomial® technology, an exclusive Pharmanutra S.p.A. patent, which increases tolerability, consequently improving absorption and bioavailability.

Extra advice for strengthening children’s immune system

In addition to a healthy, balanced diet, rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, it is worth taking some other precautions which, becoming part of the daily routine, can offer a fundamental support in maintaining a healthy immune system in children.

Wash your hands: it is well known that washing the hands often is a good preventive measure against infections transmitted by bacteria and viruses.
Open the windows frequently: fresh air helps to sanitise the room, preventing the build-up of germs.
Outdoor activities: even in the colder seasons, sunny days are a perfect opportunity for taking a walk and playing outdoors. The sun’s rays help to synthesise vitamin D, which is an ally for the immune response.
Sleep following a regular routine.
Cover your mouth when sneezing or coughing: following this simple rule of good manners, children can help themselves and other children, especially at nursery school when they are more exposed to viral infections.

Short guide to maintaining muscle function

Muscles are organs that control body movement and have an extremely complex structure, in both cellular and structural terms. In fact they are formed by many fascicles of muscle fibres lying parallel to each other.

The muscular system has many functions, and it is important not only for supporting movement but also for maintaining numerous vital functions active, such as blood circulation, breathing and digestion.

It is therefore indispensable to keep the whole muscular system healthy, starting from constant physical activity. The benefits of sport in fact impact both physical and mental health. You don’t have to take part in competitive sports, all you need is regular physical activity, of even moderate intensity, to help improve the well-being of the whole body and, at the same time, quality of life.

Advice for fighting muscle fatigu

When a particularly intense sports session causes pain and tenderness, this means that there is an over-production of lactic acid, triggered by the body’s need to produce more energy. To fight this unpleasant muscle pain, we must firstly restore a correct level of hydration, drinking water to restore the mineral salts lost through sweating.

But, on the contrary, muscle pain may also be caused by a prolonged period of a sedentary lifestyle, when the muscles lose tone and suffer from fatigue with any minor effort. Loss of muscle strength also affects the bone structure, leading to a range of musculoskeletal pains affecting particularly the back, lumbar and neck regions.

Here is some useful advice for fighting muscle pain and keeping the muscles healthy:

Keep active, avoiding excessive strain as well as a sedentary lifestyle
Drink plenty of water
Have a healthy diet rich in fruit and vegetables
Maintain a correct posture
Never forget the importance of stretching sessions, postural exercises or yoga

Supporting muscle function with supplements

As mentioned, a healthy diet plays a fundamental role in the well-being of both muscles and the whole body.

Particularly, recent studies have considered the beneficial effects of vitamin E, showing how it can help reduce pain and inflammation with its antioxidant properties.

Which foods are richest in vitamin E?

The ApportAL® range of nutritional supplements is also formulated to support muscle function and, in addition to vitamin E, contains:

Selenium: useful for ensuring the correct functioning of skeletal muscles and supporting the body during periods of physical and mental fatigue.

Magnesium: contributes to normal muscle function, also helping to carry calcium and potassium through the cell membranes, which are fundamental for the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and heartbeat.

Arginine: acts on muscle efficiency, maintaining the uptake of oxygen and nutrients. It therefore speeds up recovery of muscle well-being following body prolonged inactivity and sports performance.

Carnitine: it facilitates muscle tissue repair in the event of strains and oxidative stress. It also helps to fight fatigue and breathlessness, maintaining high energy levels for prolonged periods during physical activity.

Stimulating physical and mental energy with supplements

Physical and mental fatigue are a quite common condition for anyone coping with a frenetic routine that is often lacking in a balanced diet and sufficient rest. In addition, some periods of the year can accentuate the feeling of fatigue: for example, low temperatures, high humidity, change of seasons and prolonged heat.

These are some of the common symptoms that indicate physical and mental fatigue:

How to fight physical and mental fatigue

When one or more symptoms appear that indicate a considerable level of fatigue, it may be useful to take some precautions, for example paying particular attention to the diet, cutting down on caffeine, alcoholic beverages and fatty foods. Vice versa, some foods are rich in nutrients and vitamins that help to support the well-being of the nervous system.

Some foods that should never be missing are obviously green-leaf vegetables, which are rich in fibre and vitamin C. Others are less well-known, but can probably be a pleasant alternative to a coffee break mid-morning or after lunch: we’re talking about dark chocolate. Dark chocolate (minimum 70%) has beneficial properties that help the cardiovascular system and contains antioxidants that reduce the effects of oxidative stress.

Here are some foods that should never be lacking in a diet that aims to support brain health:

On the other hand, for physical well-being, of course food acts as “fuel” supplying strength and energy to the body. The best thing is to stick to the food pyramid on which the Mediterranean diet is based, complying with the recommended frequency and quantity of different types of food. Simply remember that no foods are harmful, and no dishes have slimming or fattening properties. Everything depends on a healthy balance of nutrients including proteins, legumes, cereals, dairy products, carbohydrates, fats, fruit and vegetables. Fruit and vegetables in particular must be found in every meal, helping the body to absorb the right amount of vitamins and mineral salts and to feel full.

Vitamins and nutrients that stimulate physical and mental energy

In addition to a correct diet, some vitamins and nutrients must always be assured to stimulate physical and mental energy. Specifically these are:

Arginine, which plays an essential role in the correct functioning of the muscles, ensuring that energy is spent in a balanced manner.
Carnitine plays a very important role in the production of both physical and mental energy, acting on the metabolism and improving brain functions.
Coenzyme Q10 is essential for good physical efficiency as it contributes to coping with stress.
Iron contributes to normal formation of haemoglobin and red blood cells, ensuring correct cell oxygenation.
Magnesium contributes both to normal muscle activity and the functioning of the nervous system.
Vitamin C contributes to the protection of the cells from oxidative stress and contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system and immune system, also during and after intense physical activity.
Group B vitamins give the body a good energy boost, reducing the sensation of fatigue.
Vitamin E plays an important role in the production of energy as it supports muscle health and improves resistance to fatigue.
Selenium acts as an antioxidant and supports the immune defences, slowing ageing processes.

La gamma di integratori ApportAL® contiene una formulazione completa per sostenere il benessere fisico e mentale in ogni situazione, a partire dai periodi di stress più acuto fino alle sessioni sportive più intense.

The range of ApportAL® supplements contains a complete formulation for supporting physical and mental well-being in any situation, from acute periods of stress to intense sports and training sessions.

ApportAL® and ApportAL® Vital contain active ingredients that maintain an excellent level of physical and mental energy in the body, relieving that typical feeling of tiredness we have in stressful periods.

How the immune system works

The immune system fights infections and diseases, producing what is known as an immune response. It consists of a set of tissues, chemical and physical structures, organs and cells which defend the organism, and it is therefore indispensable for combating viruses, bacteria and foreign pathogenic agents

The immune system acts by:

Recognising anything that shouldn’t be in the body
Ordering the immune cells to act where there is a problem
Attacking and eliminating foreign agents

What the immune system is composed of

All the components of the immune system are connected through the lymphatic system, located in various parts of the body and acting in synergy to defend the organism and keep it healthy.

Specifically, the immune system is composed of:

The lymphatic system, composed of a network of vessels that expel germs and dead cells and tissues from the organism through a fluid called lymph. Lymph passes through specific collection points the size of a pea, called lymph nodes. When there is an infection, the lymph nodes often react by swelling. For instance, a throat infection can cause the lymph nodes in the neck to swell.
White blood cells, also known as leukocytes. These move through the bloodstream to find and fight germs and other problems. Once they have fought and destroyed an antigen, they are usually able to remember it. If the white blood cells can remember that particular antigen, the next time it appears in the body they will fight it more quickly.
Organs, including bone marrow (which produces all the immune cells), thymus (a gland where the immune cells mature), and secondary lymphatic organs (spleen, tonsils, adenoids and Peyer’s patches)

The chemical and physical barriers of the immune system

The immune system is much more complex and widespread than we might think: organs and tissues are not enough to defend the body from external aggression, chemical and physical barriers are also needed. Let’s see what these are:

Skin: the skin forms an almost impenetrable barrier that prevents pathogens from entering and protects the body from chemical and physical attacks, while acid pH and sebum offer additional defence.
Mucosa: present in many parts of the respiratory, digestive, genital and urinary system, physically and chemically preventing pathogens from entering.
Mucus: the mucus in the respiratory system catches inhaled germs and dust particles.
Gastric juices: highly acidic, these sterilise food, killing almost all the pathogens ingested.
Tears: contain chemical and antibacterial substances that eliminate foreign bodies from the eyes.
Wax: being sticky, it catches and helps to expel any bacteria in the ear canal.
Eyelashes and nose hairs: catch and remove foreign particles from the eyes and respiratory tract.

Supplements for strengthening the immune system

The basic rules for ensuring the correct functioning of the immune system are those adopted for a healthy, active lifestyle:

A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals
Physical activity
Regular sleep
Avoiding alcohol and nicotine

If the immune system has a deficit and cannot meet the body’s needs, recourse can be made to nutritional supplements with an immunomodulating action.

ApportAL® and ApportAL® Vital are nutritional supplements containing vitamins and minerals that help to strengthen the immune defences, restoring the body’s normal physiological balance.

Restorative vitamins: how to cope with the change of seasons and starting school in the best way

The change of seasons and sudden changes in temperature can be a health risk for everyone, but particularly for children. They are more affected by viruses and colds, as their immune system has not yet fully developed.

If in addition to the change of seasons they are continually exposed to bacteria and pathogenic agents at school, the probability of catching flu increases exponentially. All parents are aware of this, but the good news is that, although there is no way to completely eliminate the risk, it is possible to ensure that the immune defences are not drastically reduced.

The recommendations of the Italian Paediatricians’ Society all underline the importance of a healthy lifestyle, in addition to a few simple precautions to take on a day to day basis. With a few precautions and the support of the right vitamins, it is possible to strengthen children’s immune system, so that they are ready to respond in critical periods.

Vitamins for supporting children’s immune system

Let’s start with a concept that paediatricians and nutritionists often state, but which is worth repeating: vitamins and mineral salts actively help to build children’s defensive barrier. This is why fruit and vegetables must be part of their diet, even if you may have to be patient if this causes tantrums. Following a balanced, varied diet is fundamental for promoting healthy growth and educating children to a healthy lifestyle.

So here’s a short guide to the vitamins that help to strengthen children’s immune defences, and the foods we find them in:

Vitamin A: useful for the sight, bones and teeth, and also provides 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: plays an essential role in the synthesis of energy processes for the normal performance of everyday activities. It is present in foods including milk and cheeses, eggs, yeast, as well as green-leaf vegetables and liver.
Vitamin B6: useful for increasing the efficiency of the immune system, it is found in foods including milk, meal, whole wheat cereals, pulses, liver and vegetables.
Vitamin B12: useful for the production of red blood cells, it is also an important ally for strengthening the immune system. Found in shellfish and fish generally, in chicken, egg yolk and cheeses.
Vitamin C: one of the most famous and useful vitamins in the cold season as it strengthens the immune defences. In fact, it has natural immune-boosting and antioxidant actions. It is present in citrus fruits, kiwi, peppers, tomatoes and green leaf vegetables.
Vitamin D: it is found in the body and is synthesised through the chemical reaction produced by exposure to sunlight. It supports the intestinal absorption of minerals, such as calcium and phosphorous, which are essential for bone growth and a healthy skeleton. Vitamin D is also an ally for the immune system and is found, although in lower quantities, in salmon, herring, tuna, egg yolk and green-leaf vegetables.

Advice for strengthening children’s immune system

In addition to a healthy, balanced diet, rich in fresh fruit and vegetables, it is a good idea to ensure the intake of restorative vitamins to keep children’s immune system strong even during the change of seasons.

The targeted nutrients in ApportAL® Vital are formulated to be well-tolerated even by children, supporting their natural defences in both tackling debilitating periods and recovering strength and vitality during convalescence.

This is also thanks to the presence of arginine, carnitine and Royal jelly. Arginine has properties that improve muscle efficiency, ensuring a better blood flow. In the same way, carnitine helps to combat the onset of fatigue and keep energy levels high even when the body has to make greater physical efforts. Royal jelly is a natural food rich in glucose, proteins, minerals and group B vitamins, and is ideal for combating anaemia and asthenia and for strengthening the immune defences.

Supplements for children’s lack of appetite

Children’s growth is closely linked to the intake of the right amount of nutrients, vitamins and minerals. Nutritional requirements depend on the age, sex, weight and any sports practised, but, whatever these factors, a varied, balanced diet should satisfy the requirements in all phases of development.

In specific circumstances, however, it may be necessary to take supplements of fundamental vitamins and minerals to address a lack of appetite that children often suffer from.

Lack of appetite in children: causes

Children may frequently suffer from a lack of appetite in different phases of their growth, making every meal a struggle for the parents, who are worried that their children are not eating enough. The symptoms are easy to identify: every meal is pushed around the plate, only a few foods stimulate their palate and, usually, they are the ones that should be eaten in moderation, such as sweets or savoury snacks.

Let’s take a look at the possible causes:

Antibiotic treatment may lead to a general loss of appetite.
Intestinal viruses are one of the most frequent causes, as is teething.
Sore throats are also one of the causes that make children refuse food, as it hurts when they swallow.
Starting nursery, or generally when there is a substantial change in their daily routine, can negatively affect a child’s appetite.
The change of seasons is another common cause of loss of appetite in children, as are travel and sudden variations in the food offered.

All these situations of loss of appetite are usually resolved on their own in a short time, and should not be a cause for worry. It is however important to avoid insisting and psychological blackmail like promising sweets or gifts if they finish the food on their plate.

But if the loss of appetite continues, it is important to consult a paediatrician to exclude any illnesses.

Remedies for children’s lack of appetite

As explained, the first recommendation, on which paediatricians, child psychologists and nutritionists agree, is to not insist that the child finishes their meal, or using misleading tricks like promising something in exchange. The most classic example is “If you finish your dinner you can watch the cartoons”.

Although it is quite hard not to panic, child nutritionists suggest that you:

Eat together: when children eat with adults, their curiosity is aroused by the appetite of the other people with them.
Avoid excessive portions: children will be more motivated if they don’t consider the plate in front of them to be an insurmountable task.
Patterned plates: using plates with pictures of superheroes or in any case attractive patterns can stimulate the appetite.
Colourful dishes: children will be more encouraged to taste what is in their plate if they have a variety of colours in front of them.

When to use supplements? During periods when children lack appetite, there is a strong chance that some foods will be refused despite taking all these precautions. To ensure the full intake of all the essential nutrients for their development, supplements with a complete formula suited for children of all ages can be used.

ApportAL® Vital is an excellent multi-vitamin, multi-mineral nutritional supplement for supporting children’s development, by integrating the main micronutrients which must be assured in their diet. In fact, ApportAL® Vital contains:

Arginine
Carnitine
Coenzyme Q10
Eleutherococcus
Iron
Iodine
Magnesium
Group B vitamins
Vitamin E
Vitamin C
Vitamin D
Selenium
Zinc

Last but not least, ApportAL® Vital contains Royal Jelly, a natural substance that offers many benefits, and is always recommended for stimulating the appetite and increasing body tone. The complete formulation of ApportAL® Vital is therefore ideal for providing valid nutritional support and helping children’s immune defences.

How to recover energy after sporting activities

Practising sport regularly is one of the basic rules for a healthy lifestyle. In fact, the benefits of sporting activities do not only concern staying in shape, but are also tangible aids for both the body and mind, as stress and tensions are literally dissolved when the body is in motion.

But subjecting the body to more or less intensive physical effort, we must take a few precautions to avoid injuries and to ensure that the body can recover energy levels quickly, restoring normal physiological well-being.

Techniques for recovering energy after sporting activities

Warm-ups: recovering energy after sporting activities starts sooner than we might think. Never underestimate the importance of warm-ups, needed to increase the body temperature, preparing the muscles and ensuring elasticity during sports, to avoid strains and sprains.

Cool-downs: like warm-ups, after sporting activities we must ensure a cool down period, with a series of activities to relax the muscles, along with exercises that help to stretch the tissues and dispose of the lactic acid.

Have a snack: within 30 minutes after the end of sporting activities, it is a good habit to ensure sufficient rehydration, and a snack rich in carbohydrates, vitamins, mineral salts and fibre.

The importance of proteins: people who practise sports regularly must ensure that their diet includes proteins, as these provide the essential amino acids that maintain healthy muscles and cardiovascular system.

Cereals: nuts, cocoa and whole wheat cereals help to restore spent energy, and contain micronutrients that fight the oxidation triggered during sporting activities.

Physical and mental relaxation: meditation, yoga, low-impact exercises or a short walk to relax the mind: these common mental relaxation techniques also have positive effects on the body.

Regular night-time rest: the health of the whole body depends on both the amount and quality of sleep. If there is a balanced sleep-wake rhythm, there is a greater chance of having more energy when you wake up.

Supplements for recovering energy: ApportAL® contains vitamins and mineral salts that promote normal muscle function and help recover energy, strength and tone after sporting activities. This is thanks to its formulation with 19 nutrients, including:

Selenium: an essential substance for supporting skeletal muscle health and functioning.

Magnesium: indispensable for the body for producing energy, helping to guarantee muscle contraction and heart beat.

Arginine: arginine improves the blood flow and muscle efficiency, also supporting muscle recover both after sports and in the event of prolonged inactivity.

Carnitine: it is useful for facilitating muscle recovery and repair after intensive efforts and activities. It also helps the body to fight fatigue.

Supplements for muscle strengthening

Muscle health is fundamental not only for competitive sports players but for everyone. Muscle tissue is not only fundamental for ensuring correct movement but also for ensuring optimal functioning of the endocrinal system. Muscles can to all extents and purposes be considered an actual organ.

Advice for healthy muscles

A healthy diet and appropriate hydration are the starting points for a healthy body. Muscles are no exception: they need liquids and micronutrients to function correctly. In addition to this, here is a short guide to looking after your muscles.

Avoid a sedentary lifestyle, and if possible alternate different types of physical activity, without focusing on a single part of the body. For example, if your favourite activity is walking, it is better to include a training session that focuses more on the upper part of the body.
Sport is fine, but don’t overdo it: always plan training sessions considering the importance of muscle recovery.
Never forget the importance of massages done by professionals who know how to deal with stiff muscles and contractures.
Sleep! Indeed: while sleeping, the muscles have time to regenerate, as GH is released (the “growth hormone” that stimulates tissue growth, including muscle tissue).

Fundamental vitamins and minerals for muscles

The body produces the energy it needs from food, and so a healthy, varied and balanced diet has more chance of assuring a generally high quality of overall health.

These are the micronutrients needed to strengthen the muscles:

Iron: essential for many body functions, and also carries oxygen to the active muscles.

Magnesium: it is indispensable for energy production, and when talking about muscles, it is precisely magnesium that supports muscle contraction and relaxation.

Selenium: the highest concentration of selenium in the human body can be found in the skeletal muscles, and it is fundamental for defending the cells from oxidative damage.

Group B vitamins: necessary for releasing energy into the body, repairing tissues and producing red blood cells. They are therefore fundamental for keeping the muscles in good health, especially when doing sports.

Vitamin C: it has a huge antioxidant power and is therefore of vital importance for protecting the cells in the muscles and indeed in the whole body.

Vitamin D: there is no well-being without this vitamin. This depends on the fact that it is involved in very many physiological processes, including the ability to increase muscle strength.

Arginine: it is able to improve muscle performance during sporting activities, protecting the muscle integrity and aiding recovery after physical effort.

Carnitine: it helps to feed the muscles, influencing their growth as it accelerates the transport of fatty acids to the muscles, where they are burned to obtain energy.

Strengthening the muscles: when to use supplements

Recourse to supplements for muscle strengthening helps in two main cases: firstly, after very intensive sporting activities and, in the same way, after significant loss of muscle tone due to prolonged periods of inactivity, convalescence or rest.

In both cases, the primary need is to restore optimal levels of muscle strength, and to do this it is possible to use nutritional supplements.

The formulation with vitamins and minerals contained in Apportal® supports muscle function, acting on the body to restore the ideal levels of strength and energy.

Which vitamins to take for diabetes

Diabetes is a disease that causes an abnormal increase of blood sugar levels. The trigger is a deficit in the production, and therefore the efficacy, of insulin, the hormone produced by the pancreas that keeps glucose levels in check in the blood (glycemia).

Consequently, diabetes is a disease that affects the body’s metabolism, influencing the way food is transformed into energy. Another physiological reaction affected by diabetes is the production of free radicals, which are responsible for oxidative stress and which, in turn, can increase the risk of heart disease, as well as damage to the retina, kidneys and nerves.

This is why it is worth remembering that an appropriate intake of antioxidant vitamins can help to reduce the negative effects of oxidative stress in diabetes sufferers.

The benefits of vitamins and minerals on diabetes

As explained, a correct intake of vitamins and minerals has a significant impact on fighting oxidative stress in diabetes sufferers. This is why the first precaution to take is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, eating fruit and vegetables regularly.

Vitamins and minerals that must be assured in order to control any complications linked to diabetes are:

Vitamin B1: a precious vitamin for the health of a diabetic heart, the benefits of which help to prevent cardiovascular complications in patients suffering from both type 1 diabetes (present from childhood), and type 2 diabetes (which occurs due to a sedentary lifestyle).
Vitamin D: is essential not only for the health of the bones but the whole body. A study conducted by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in Baltimore demonstrated that vitamin D helps to reduce the risk of a heart attack, a stroke or type 2 diabetes in adulthood.
Vitamin C and E: the benefits of vitamins C and E have a number of implications and, in particular, are excellent antioxidants for the memory and brain health. In fact, diabetes tends to expose the nerve cells in the brain to greater oxidative stress caused by the inefficient use of sugars and the consequent intense production of free radicals.
Magnesium: some minerals are also a key factor in controlling the side effects of diabetes. Magnesium plays a fundamental role in heart function, neuromuscular communication, blood pressure and muscle contractions.
Selenium: people suffering from diabetes often have to cope with selenium deficiency. This mineral is very useful for intestinal and thyroid health, and is also a valid support for regulating normal glucose metabolism.

How to integrate vitamins in the diet when suffering from diabetes

With diabetes, it is essential to keep the body weight in check, to ensure correct glycaemic compensation and avoid the onset of complications. But you don’t need to adopt a drastic diet or, even worse, one that lacks vital nutrients for health: the important thing is to ensure the body the right intake of vitamins and nutrients, avoiding some mistakes that put health at risk when eating.

The Mediterranean diet is the best alternative, as it is rich in fibres from fruit and vegetables and whole wheat cereals and low in animal fats. A few extra tips:

Prefer fish to meat, particularly oily fish.
All vegetables are fine, particularly leaf vegetables including lettuce, chard, spinach, chicory, and root vegetables including carrots, beetroot, turnips, broccoli, fennel and cabbage.
And make sure there are pulses in the diet, as these are a source of vitamins, mineral salts and fibre, helping to increase the feeling of fullness
Prefer whole grain products, as they are rich in fibre.

H2: Vitamin supplements for diabetes sufferers

ApportAL® products are nutritional supplements formulated to ensure an effective antioxidant action in the body, supporting the health of the immune system and compensating any nutritional deficiencies.

They are also very well tolerated even by diabetes sufferers, who will find the ApportAL® range to be a valid and protective support to fight all the side effects caused by this disease. All this is possible thanks to the presence of 19 nutrients, including five fundamental minerals developed with the innovative Sucrosomial® Technology: Selenium, Iron, Zinc, Iodine and Magnesium.
