A B vitamin. Helps the body make new cells. Everyone needs folic acid. It is very important for women of childbearing age. Getting enough folic acid before and during pregnancy can prevent major birth defects of the baby’s brain and spine.

Organic acids that are basic components of proteins and play a fundamental role in human metabolic functioning.

Branched-chain amino acids: leucine, isoleucine and valine. BCAAs are the most widely used supplements in the field of sports nutrition and bodybuilding due to their known positive effects on gaining muscle mass. These three types of amino acids make up almost a third of skeletal muscles, and are responsible for the synthesis of proteins by muscle fibres.

Set of metabolic processes of synthesis of complex molecules from other molecules that are characterized by being simpler. An anabolic substance promotes the growth of skeletal muscle (anabolic effects) and the development of male sexual characteristics (androgenic effects) in both men and women.

Possibility of an organism to live without oxygen. Anaerobic respiration consists of the oxidoreduction of sugars among other compounds, without using oxygen.

A molecule capable of preventing or delaying the oxidation (loss of one or more electrons) of other molecules, generally biological substrates such as lipids, proteins or nucleic acids.

A special type of undifferentiated cell that has the ability to divide indefinitely without losing its properties and to produce specialized cells.

A vitamin-like substance found throughout the body, especially in the heart, liver, kidneys, and pancreas. It is also known as Co-Enzyme, Co-Q 10 or Ubiquinone-10.

Very important protein for our body, which forms the connective tissue. It mainly provides the elasticity of our skin, preventing wrinkles and sagging.

A mixture that is between homogeneous and heterogeneous. Its particles are not visible to the naked eye, do not settle at rest and cannot be separated by filtration.

Cleansing process that manifests itself in the organism in different ways. Symptoms often vary from person to person.
Usually the purpose of this process is to cleanse the body, dislodge toxins and kill bacteria. When this happens, the body begins to eliminate substances through the bloodstream in order to filter and eliminate them.

A natural steroid that is produced by the adrenal gland. It is the most common steroid in human blood. However, the amounts decrease rapidly with age. The amounts are the highest during the first 20 years and start to decrease around the age of 25.

A generalized process in which complex compounds, salts or other molecules are separated into smaller molecules, either ions or radicals, usually in a reversible manner.

A group of inherited disorders that cause muscle weakness and loss of muscle tissue, which worsen over time.

Destruction, decomposition or alteration of a chemical substance by water. In the study of aqueous solutions of electrolytes, the term hydrolysis is applied especially to the reactions of cations (positive ions) with water to produce a weak base, or to the reactions of anions (negative ions) to produce a weak acid.

Body mass index (BMI) is a number that is calculated based on a person’s weight and height. BMI is a fairly reliable indicator of fatness for most people. BMI does not measure body fat directly, but research has shown that it correlates with direct measurements of body fat, such as underwater weighing and dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).1, 2
BMI can be considered an alternative for direct measurements of body fat. In addition, it is an inexpensive and easy to perform method to detect weight categories that can lead to health problems.

They are a class of flavonoids found in legumes and only a few non-legumes. They are involved in plant defense mechanisms against herbivory, and also function as chemical signals in nitrogen fixation. The health effects of these are as follows:
Decreased risk of cancer
Improved bone condition
Relieves menopausal symptoms
Lowers cholesterol

The process by which all the cells of a living being are properly oxygenated.

A unit of measurement used to establish the level of acidity or alkalinity of a substance. When it is obtained through a pH measurement that a product, substance or element is acidic, it means that it has a high or low amount of hydrogen ions, therefore, the pH is the indicator of the hydrogen potential.

Antioxidant that promotes longevity of people. It defends our organism from free radicals, slowing down aging. This component protects brain cells and helps the process of oxygenation and energy activation of the mitochondria, preventing to some extent the loss of neurons over the years and in critical situations such as stroke events or cerebrovascular accidents.

A poison produced by a bacterium, plant, or animal. Toxins, therefore, are substances whose origin is organic. These proteins or molecules can cause different types of physical damage to the body.
