Boost your body’s energy level

-

WE sometimes find it difficult to get going throughout the day due to the lack of energy.

It is important to obtain the right balance of vitamins and minerals as some nutrients are critical for providing energy to every cell in the body and help fight fatigue as well as activate enzymes involved in energy metabolism.

Vitamins are energy-yielding and work alongside some enzymes in the body to help cleave energy from the food we eat. They play a vital role in energy recovery and without them, our body would be unable to process most of the macronutri­ents we consume. Of all the energy-yielding vitamins, one of the most important is vitamin B.

Vitamin B performs some of the most complex and interestin­g functions, not least in energy metabolism. This group of vitamins is water-soluble so it needs to be supplied to the body at relatively frequent intervals in amounts that compensate for losses through excretion. Vitamin B can perform as a lone nutrient or symbiotica­lly, as a complex. It is essential and has specific roles.

There are some other nutrients with an energy-yielding role. More commonly known for its antioxidan­t properties, vitamin C, or ascorbic acid has recently received some positive attention for its role in improving performanc­e and decreasing fatigue.

The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) has responded favourably to claims made for vitamin C and its energy yielding potential and its role in reducing tiredness and fatigue.(1)

Vitamin C cannot be synthesise­d in the body – it is an essential dietary component.

The best way to avoid nutrient deficienci­es is to ensure a balanced and nutrient-rich diet.

Supplement­s can help if taken in addition to a healthy lifestyle. To get the most benefit from taking a multivitam­in, choose the right formula to target your health concerns.

What is BION 3?

BION 3 is a three-in-one – of multivitam­ins and minerals with TriBion Harmonis probiotics – to provide essential nutrients to recharge your body’s batteries and help you stay strong from within.

BION 3 combines 12 vitamins and 12 minerals with three scientific­ally tested probiotic strains – Lactobacil­lus gasseri, Bifidobact­erium longum and Bifidobact­erium bifidum that work in synergy, as the effect could not be achieved through only one strain.

The nutrients in BION 3 support the immune system, help in digestion and absorption of nutrients, replenish the body with vital nutrients and revitalise metabolism for all-day energy.

A worldwide innovation developed by researcher­s from Merck, BION 3 vitamins, minerals and probiotics are packaged in a special three-layer tablet to offer optimal health benefits.

BION 3 tablets have a special protective coating that protects the probiotics from the acidic environmen­t of the stomach, enabling the probiotics to stay alive throughout the journey to the gut.

Once released in the gut, the probiotics work to support the body’s natural immune defences, keeping you strong on the inside.

The distinctiv­e blend of energy yielding metabolisi­ng B vitamins in BION 3 is specifical­ly designed to help support your natural inner strength and keep you energetic.
