Vitamins and minerals with DEPO effect With just 1 DEPOT tablet of Doppelherz AZ Complete per day, you provide your body with important vitamins, minerals and trace elements plus lutein for many hours of the day. An optimal supply of essential vitamins, minerals and trace elements is an important prerequisite for well-being and performance. The body cannot produce these vital nutrients on its own. That's why we have to supply these substances every day. A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, grains and dairy products, but with regular intake of fish, can meet nutritional needs. What exactly are multivitamins? In fact, the name "multivitamin" is somewhat misleading in everyday use, since reasonably formulated nutritional supplements not only contain several vitamins, but also minerals and trace elements. The term "multivitamin" can only be used if the legally regulated minimum amounts of the ingredients used are respected. For example, a multi-fruit drink does not necessarily have to be a multivitamin juice. In Doppelherz AZ tablets, vitamins, minerals and trace elements are carefully balanced in reasonable amounts. When are multivitamins useful? The product Doppelherz AZ DEPOT Complete is a dietary supplement. As such, it is dosed in such a way that it can compensate or cover supply gaps caused by an unbalanced diet and increased needs in certain life situations without burdening the body. Gaps in supply can arise, for example, from impaired vitamin metabolism. However, the increased need for certain nutrients can also result from an unbalanced diet, stress or sports, or from taking certain medications. A change in living conditions often brings with it a special need for nutrients. During pregnancy and lactation, the need for some nutrients increases significantly. Vitamins such as folic acid and vitamin B6 should also be central components of a healthy diet during pregnancy, as should iodine, zinc and iron. New living conditions in old age and a changing organism can also contribute to an increased need for nutrients. Difficulties with chewing or swallowing, altered taste perception, loss of appetite and decreased thirst must be taken into account in the diet. In addition, the metabolism of the elderly works more slowly, which can result in gaps in supply. Of course, multivitamin preparations cannot replace a balanced diet with whole foods. However, they can help close nutrient gaps if needed. What ingredients does Doppelherz AZ DEPOT contain? The nutritional supplement contains vitamins, minerals, trace elements and the plant carotenoid lutein. Vitamins: Vitamins are organic compounds that the human body – with the exception of vitamin D – cannot produce on its own. Therefore, we have to make them available to our body with food. AZ tablets from Doppelherz contain 13 essential vitamins: water-soluble vitamins C, B1, B2, B3, B6, B12, folic acid, biotin and pantothenic acid, as well as fat-soluble vitamins A, D, E and K. Minerals and trace elements: Minerals and trace elements are also substances that the body cannot produce. The difference between them is only in the amount required by the body. Trace elements are literally found only in "traces", that is, in very small amounts in the body (less than 50 mg/kg), minerals or "bulky elements", on the other hand, are present at over 50 mg/kg of body weight. . The minerals calcium and magnesium as well as the trace elements phosphorus, iron, zinc, copper, selenium, chromium, molybdenum and iodine are sensibly combined in the AZ product from Doppelherz. Is there an overdose with Doppelherz AZ multivitamins? The issue of quality and safety plays a key role in the development of Doppelherz nutritional supplements. That is why we always pay particular attention to maintaining a physiological dose range during conception. An overdose of ingredients, even if they are above 100% of the EU regulation, is not possible if the recommended consumption of Doppelherz AZ DEPOT is respected. • Take 1 tablet daily after a meal with enough liquid without chewing. • The tablets can also be broken in half if necessary.
