Connective tissue is a general term for the body’s connecting and supporting system. Connective tissue encloses the nerves, blood vessels and organs, and connects all the components to each other, e.g. as an enveloping tissue (the fibrous capsules around the organs), as the parenchyma (the organ-free spaces), and as a structural tissue (the organs).
Did you know that about a third of all the proteins in our bodies are collagen molecules? Collagen is the main component in connective tissue. It serves, for example, to build blood vessels, cartilage, bones, teeth and our skin. Connective tissue forms a biological network that strengthens our body and lends it support and stability.
Coenzyme Q10 is a vitaminoid, i.e. a vitamin-like substance that occurs in the cells of our bodies. It is present in particularly high amounts in strongly metabolically active organs, e.g. the heart, liver, lungs and muscles – organs that have a high consumption of bioenergy.
Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is regarded as a key molecule for the entire cellular metabolism. It intervenes to support many of the body’s metabolic processes; for example, those concerning the connective and supporting system of our bodies, cell protection, the immune function and the energy metabolism.
Studying, working, stress and even everyday life tasks demand a great deal of concentration and attention – and depend on a well-functioning nervous system. To cope with demanding days, recreational activities alternating with rest provide a good balance.
From the earliest stages of human life, omega-3 fatty acids are necessary for healthy development. And in later life as well, omega-3 fatty acids make important contributions. They are required for the normal function of the heart, brain and eyes, for example.
Zinc and selenium are trace elements. Most trace elements are essential, and are therefore indispensable for maintaining life. Just like vitamins and other cellular nutrients, they must be supplied to our bodies regularly with food.
Omega-3 acids are vital nutrients we have to ingest regularly with the food. Ranking among the most biologically active omega-3 fatty acids are EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid). Their effect is extremely varied and they make important supportive contributions to the health and well-being (see also Dr. Rath Omega E™ fish oil capsules).
