Folic acid gets involved in the cell division process, helps strengthen the immune system, reduce tiredness and fatigue and maintain normal psychological function. Furthermore, it takes part in the amino acid synthesis, in homocysteine metabolism ??and in haematopoiesis, i.e. blood cell production and maturation. For women of childbearing age, in anticipation of pregnancy, supplementary folic acid intake is useful for increasing the status of maternal folate, which, if low, is a risk factor for developing neural tube defects in the foetus*; it also contributes to the growth of maternal tissues. *A beneficial effect can be obtained with the daily intake of 400 mcg of folic acid, to be started at least one month before and up to three months after conception.

Vitamin B12 contributes to red blood cell formation, promotes healthy functioning of the immune system, reduces tiredness and fatigue, improves energy metabolism, supports the nervous system activity and maintains normal psychological function. Furthermore, it has an important role in the cell division process and in homocysteine metabolism.

Vitamin B2 promotes normal iron metabolism and maintenance of red blood cells, skin, mucous membranes and vision. It contributes to protecting cells from oxidative stress, to normal energy metabolism and to reducing tiredness and fatigue. It supports proper functioning of the immune system.

Vitamin B6 promotes proper functioning of the nervous system, normal psychological function, a healthy immune system function and the normal production of red blood cells. It contributes to normal energy metabolism, reduces tiredness and fatigue and supports normal hormonal activity. It also supports normal cysteine function and a healthy homocysteine, protein and glycogen metabolism.

Vitamin B1 supplement, in chewable tablets, enriched with manganese and ribose. Vitamin B1 contributes to normal heart function, promotes the nervous system function, supports the psychological function and, combined with manganese, promotes energy metabolism.

Inositol hexanicotinate is a source of vitamin B3 (niacin), in which six molecules of nicotinic acid are linked to one molecule of inositol. Vitamin B3 promotes normal nervous system function, supports psychological function, helps maintain healthy skin and mucous membranes, contributes to normal energy metabolism and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue.

Palmitoylethanolamide (PEA) supplement, a molecule naturally produced by our body starting from a fatty acid, palmitic acid, and also present in small quantities in some foods. Its synthesis decreases with age and its integration can be useful.

Choline contributes to the maintenance of normal liver function and promotes the normal metabolism of homocysteine ??and lipids.

Vitamin B12 contributes to reducing tiredness and fatigue, promoting energy metabolism and encouraging normal red blood cell formation. It takes part in the cell division process, maintains normal homocysteine ??metabolism and supports the immune system function. Furthermore, it is useful for healthy psychological functioning and a properly operating nervous system.
