Our brands Vitamins and minerals

When a healthcare professional identifies a deficiency, they prescribe a supplement to be taken in the appropriate dose to restore the body's stores. Once these have been filled, taking the supplement can be stopped or continued, depending on whether the cause of the deficiency has been eliminated or not.

The pharmacist plays a vital role in ensuring that the supplements do not conflict with other medications you may be taking. It is important to follow his recommendations.

If you have any concerns about your vitamin or mineral intake, talk to your pharmacist. Vitamins are essential substances for the body, which is incapable of producing most of them.

There are 2 categories of vitamins:

  • Fat-soluble vitamins : vitamin A, vitamin D, vitamin E and vitamin K. They are present in meats, dairy products, liver, fish oil
  • Water-soluble vitamins : group B vitamins (vit. B1, B2, B3 or PP, B6, B9 or folate, B12) and vitamin C

Vitamins are organic substances essential for vital exchanges in the body.

Causes of vitamin and mineral deficiency

Your diet is not diversified and you want to avoid any deficiency in vitamins and minerals? Discover the benefits of food supplements dedicated to vitamin and mineral deficiencies.

Deficiency related to insufficient food intake or an unbalanced diet

The risk of vitamin and mineral deficiencies is higher in people who do not have a balanced diet or who exclude certain food groups from their diet by necessity or choice. Here are some examples:

  • Vegans and vegetarians : possibility of deficiencies in particular vitamin B12 or iron due to the absence or low intake of foods of animal origin
  • People who consume very little or no dairy products (e.g. milk protein allergy or lactose intolerance): possibility of calcium deficiency
  • Elderly people, especially if they live alone : possibility of insufficient food intake due to lack of appetite, limited income or difficulty in preparing balanced meals, which can lead to deficiencies.

Deficiency related to an illness or taking certain medications

Sometimes the deficiency is not related to a diet lacking in vitamins or minerals, but rather to an illness or drug treatment that prevents the body from absorbing or using these essential elements properly.

  • Certain gastrointestinal diseases , such as Crohn's disease, can interfere with the absorption of vitamins or minerals (especially vitamin B12, folic acid, iron)
  • Very heavy periods can lead to iron deficiency
  • Excessive alcohol consumption (alcoholism) can interfere with the absorption of vitamins or minerals or reduce the body's ability to store them, which can lead to several deficiencies (group B vitamins, magnesium, calcium, etc. )
  • Eating disorders , such as anorexia, can lead to serious deficiencies in several vitamins and minerals due to the extreme dietary restrictions these people impose on themselves.
  • Taking medications, such as aspirin, phenothiazines, metformin, antibiotics or corticosteroids can interfere with the absorption of certain minerals contained in food, such as calcium or iron. They can also block or decrease the production of certain vitamins or increase their elimination from the body. An adjustment to the medication generally makes it possible to avoid these undesirable effects.

Deficiency related to prolonged parenteral nutrition

  • Glycemic abnormalities (hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia) or liver dysfunction may occur in patients on prolonged parenteral nutrition
  • Abnormalities of glucose metabolism may be common
  • Vitamin and mineral deficiencies can occur

How to prevent vitamin and mineral deficiency:

The human body needs many different vitamins and minerals that are crucial for both development and disease prevention. These vitamins and minerals are often called micronutrients. They are not produced naturally by the body, so you must get them from your diet.

Most deficiencies are dietary in origin. It is therefore necessary to ensure that you vary and balance your diet in order to provide your body with the mineral salts, vitamins and nutrients that are essential to it.

Vitamin C is found in many plants, including green vegetables, citrus fruits and fresh fruits. Concentrated lemon juice and orange juice are excellent sources of vitamin C, as are kiwi, guava, cabbages, citrus fruits, sea buckthorn, apples, blueberries, black currants, tomatoes, parsley and lettuce.

Spending 30 minutes each day in the sun gives you the vitamin D you need, but protects your skin.

A high concentration of vitamin D is contained in salmon, fish oils, liver, egg yolk, butter, fish oils, mushrooms and cereals.

Iron is very present in eggs, fish, algae, cocoa, oilseeds, offal, red meat and dairy products. To preserve the nutrients of your food, be sure to favor gentle cooking and fresh products.

Dietary changes to prevent micronutrient deficiency

A healthcare professional can advise you on how to modify your eating habits in the event of a minor deficiency. For example, people with anemia should include more meat, eggs, poultry, vegetables, and legumes in their diet.

A healthcare professional can refer you to a dietitian or naturopath if your deficiency is more serious. They may recommend keeping a food diary for a few weeks. When you meet with the dietician or naturopath, you will review the diary and identify any changes you should make.

Supplements

Most of your nutrients should come from food. In some cases, you may need to take supplements or a multivitamin. The frequency and dosage of a supplement depends on the severity of the deficiency. Your healthcare professional can determine this.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking any nutritional supplements.

How to choose your vitamin and mineral food supplement

Vitamins and minerals are substances found in small amounts in food. They are said to be essential because the body cannot manufacture them itself, so it must draw them from food. Vitamins and minerals play key roles in the functioning of our body: they help manage our vital energy and participate in the growth and maintenance of our body.

Symptoms of a nutritional deficiency:

  • pallor
  • fatigue
  • weakening
  • susceptibility to infection
  • muscle and limb pain
  • headache
  • difficulty concentrating
  • nervousness
  • skin, hair and nail problems
  • chapped lips and fissured lip commissure
  • bleeding gums

Loss of vitality, decline in form or morale and internal imbalances can be due to a simple lack of vitamin and mineral intake. To remedy this or quite simply to act in prevention of such problems, the vitamin and mineral complexes designed with natural ingredients act effectively without disturbing the internal balances.

Vitamins A , B, C, D, E and K, macro-elements such as calcium, magnesium, potassium, sodium, chlorine, sulfur and phosphorus or trace elements such as iron, copper , iodine, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, selenium and fluorine are present.

Colds, coughs, flu... To get through the cracks of winter illnesses and the symptoms they cause, it's important to support your immune system. Immunity goes through food. It is therefore essential to stock up on vitamins and minerals.

Food supplements for children or adults, unitary or synergistic formulas, in ampoules, oral solution, capsules, tablets or gums, make your choice with confidence from the wide selection of our experts and once again enjoy top-notch vitality!

Even if they are not drugs, many food supplements contain precautions for use and can have harmful effects if the dosages are not respected:

  • if they are consumed in prolonged doses,
  • if there is no need,
  • if you make bad mixes,
  • if you suffer from a pathology unsuitable for taking certain substances
  • or if you are taking medication.

So there are rules to follow. In other words, taking dietary supplements does not exempt you from consulting your doctor, pharmacist or other nutrition professionals.
