FOLATE
Folate is essential for DNA synthesis, so that without folate, living cells cannot divide. The need for folate is higher when cell turnover is increased, such as in foetal development

RIBOFLAVIN
Riboflavin is a water-soluble vitamin that’s important for the body's handling of some other nutrients including conversion of vitamin B-6 to its bioactive form.Riboflavin deficiency can result in raised plasma levels of homocysteine that are associated with increased cardiovascular risk.

THIAMIN
Thiamin plays an essential role in the supply of energy to the tissue, in carbohydrate metabolism and in the metabolic links between carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. Although there is a lack of direct evidence, it is thought that a relationship exists between thiamin requirement, energy supply and energy expenditure. This arises from the role of thiamin as thiamin pyrophosphate in the metabolism of carbohydrate.

VITAMIN A
Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin which helps maintain normal reproduction, vision and immune function.

VITAMIN B6
Vitamin B6 acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of amino acids, glycogen and sphingoid bases.

VITAMIN B12
Adequate intake of vitamin B12 is essential for normal blood function and neurological function.

VITAMIN C
Vitamin C is an antioxidant and it is likely that all of its biochemical and molecular functions relate to this property. Vitamin C also aids in the absorption of iron and copper.

CALCIUM
Calcium is required for the normal development and maintenance of the skeleton as well as for the proper functioning of neuromuscular and cardiac function. It is stored in the teeth and bones where it provides structure and strength.

IODINE
Iodine is a key regulator of important cell processes. Iodine is required for normal growth and development of tissues such as the central nervous system and has a broader role in maturation of the body as a whole. Iodine are important for energy production and oxygen consumption in cells thereby helping to maintain the body's metabolic rate.

IRON
Iron is an important component of haemoglobin, which is used to transport oxygen to tissues throughout the body. Iron is also integral to liver function. The rest of the body's iron is found in readily metabolised stores in the liver and in the myoglobin of muscle tissue and a variety of enzymes necessary for oxidative metabolism and other cell functions.

POTASSIUM
Potassium is found in lean body tissue. The movements of potassium out of cells and sodium into cells works to regenerate nerve and muscle cells.
