B vitamins are a family of water-soluble vitamins. In fact, vitamin B is not a single vitamin, but a complex of vitamins (B2, B6, B7, B9, B12). The members of the vitamin B group are not only related by their water-solubility, but also by their close and coordinated cooperation in the many functions they perform in the many tissues of our body.

Vitamin B1

Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, the maintenance of normal psychological function and the proper functioning of the heart. Involved in normal energy-producing metabolic processes. Thiamine contributes to the proper functioning of the heart.

Vitamin B2

Involved in normal energy-producing metabolic processes. Contributes to normal vision, normal red blood cells, wine and mucous membranes, normal functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B2 contributes to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness and to normal iron metabolism and protection of cells against oxidative stress.

Vitamin B3

Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, to the maintenance of normal psychological function, to the normal condition of the wine and mucous membranes and to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. It is involved in normal energy-producing metabolic processes.

Vitamin B5

Contributes to the normal synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and certain neurotransmitters. Contributes to normal mental performance, reducing fatigue and tiredness, and is involved in normal energy production processes.

Vitamin B6

Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, is a group of compounds whose members have a related structure and act together. It was isolated in five independent laboratories in the late 1930s. It is a water-soluble vitamin, not stored by the body during metabolism, and is eliminated within 8 hours after digestion.

Main natural sources

Wheat bran, wheat germ, brewer's yeast, poppy seeds, cabbage, milk, eggs, beef.

Of interest

Many anti-nausea medicines used during pregnancy contain vitamin B6.

Why is vitamin B6 important?

It contributes to the maintenance of normal psychological function, normal functioning of the nervous system and the reduction of fatigue and tiredness. It is involved in normal energy metabolism, normal protein and glycogen metabolism and normal cysteine metabolism. Vitamin B6 contributes to normal immune function, regulation of hormonal activity, normal red blood cell formation and normal homocysteine metabolism.

Vitamin B7

Contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system, the maintenance of normal psychological function, and the maintenance of normal mucous membranes, wine and hair. Involved in normal energy metabolism and normal metabolism of macronutrients.

Vitamin B12

Contributes to normal functioning of the nervous system, maintenance of normal psychological function, reduction of fatigue and tiredness. Involved in normal energy metabolism, plays a role in cell division. Vitamin B12 contributes to normal immune function, normal red blood cell production and normal homocysteine metabolism.

A fat-soluble compound stored in the liver, adipose tissue, heart, muscles, blood, adrenal glands, and the pituitary gland. Vitamin E was discovered and later isolated during experiments in the 1920s–1930s focused on studying vegetable oils. However, it wasn’t until the 1970s that scientists realized it was an essential substance for humans. Unlike other fat-soluble vitamins, vitamin E—similar to B vitamins or vitamin C—remains in the body for only a relatively short time.

Main Natural Sources

Wheat germ, soybeans, vegetable oils, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, spinach, whole grains, eggs.

Why is Vitamin E important?

It helps protect cells from oxidative stress.

Vitamin K belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin K1 is primarily found in green leafy vegetables such as cabbage, broccoli, spinach, chard, and liver.

Vitamin K plays a role in normal blood clotting and helps maintain healthy bones.

Vitamin A is a fat-soluble vitamin. For it to be absorbed from the digestive tract, fats and minerals are required. It occurs in two forms: preformed vitamin A and provitamin A, the latter commonly known as carotene.

Main Natural Sources

Milk, eggs, carrots, cantaloupe, apricots, pumpkin, spinach, and animal organs (liver, kidney, heart).

Why is Vitamin A important?

It helps maintain the normal condition of mucous membranes and skin, supports normal iron metabolism, plays a role in cell differentiation, contributes to normal vision, and supports the proper functioning of the immune system.

Vitamin C is perhaps the most well-known vitamin. It is a water-soluble vitamin derived from sugars. While most animals can synthesize their own vitamin C, humans must rely entirely on dietary sources. Vitamin C is found only in small amounts in animal-based foods; the majority of our needs are met through green plants and fruits. Some plants contain especially high amounts, such as rose hips and certain types of peppers, where 1–2% of their dry weight can be vitamin C. In its pure form, vitamin C was first isolated from the adrenal glands by Albert Szent-Györgyi in 1928, and later from lemon juice and paprika in 1931—a discovery that earned him the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1937.

Main Natural Sources

Citrus fruits, berries, green and leafy vegetables, tomatoes, peppers.

Why is Vitamin C important?

Vitamin C contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism, the maintenance of normal psychological function, and the normal functioning of the nervous and immune systems. It also plays a role in collagen formation, which is essential for maintaining healthy skin, blood vessels, cartilage, bones, teeth, and gums. Additionally, it helps reduce tiredness and fatigue, regenerates the reduced form of vitamin E, enhances iron absorption, and protects cells from oxidative stress. It also supports immune function during and after intense physical exercise.

It originates from East Asia, just like its relative, the Chinese boxthorn, which can also be cultivated in our region. Its English name, “wolfberry,” is the source of its Hungarian nickname, “farkasbogyó” (wolf berry). In nature, it is rich in carotenoids and is most commonly used as a food additive.

Probiotics are beneficial live microorganisms that can survive the acidic environment of the digestive tract and help maintain the healthy balance of gut flora. Our products contain multiple probiotic strains in high colony-forming unit (CFU) counts, along with inulin—a prebiotic that promotes their growth.

The word “probiotic” comes from Greek and means “for life.” In the modern sense, the term was first used by R.B. Parker in 1974 to describe organisms and substances responsible for maintaining microbial balance in the intestines. Effective probiotics are human-derived, non-pathogenic, and resistant to stomach acid, bile, saliva, pancreatic enzymes, and digestive fluids. They remain viable during food storage and production processes, can adhere to the intestinal lining, inhibit harmful pathogens, and reduce their ability to colonize the mucosal surface. Most probiotics are lactic acid bacteria or bifidobacteria, primarily from the Lactobacillus genus, with some from Streptococcus.

Prebiotics are natural nutrients that serve as the exclusive food source for probiotics, promoting their growth and dominance. They are not broken down by enzymes in the mouth or digestive tract, so they reach the colon intact. Prebiotics are soluble dietary fibers and among the most effective of their kind. While they function as dietary fiber, their primary benefit is supporting the growth of good bacteria in the colon, which often lacks digestible nutrients.

Natural sources of prebiotics include Jerusalem artichoke, chicory root, red onion, garlic, leek, artichoke, whole grains, wheat, bananas, flax, spinach, cabbage, chard, mustard greens, berries, legumes, milk, and many aged cheeses.

One type of prebiotic is inulin, a dietary fiber that passes undigested to the colon and encourages probiotic growth.

Role: Digestion and Gut Flora Balance

Our intestinal tract—about 7–9 meters long—is the largest interface between our body and the outside world. It is therefore a major point of entry for pathogens and toxins. Under normal conditions, 200–400 bacterial strains live in the gut. In the womb, beneficial bacteria account for 95–98% of the microbial population. A healthy gut flora defends against harmful microbes, maintains the integrity of the intestinal lining, and supports nutrient absorption. These microbes also produce essential vitamins. When gut defenses weaken, absorption issues can arise.

For probiotics to be effective, a high population is necessary—at least 10⁸ CFU per gram of intestinal fluid.

What does CFU mean?

CFU stands for “colony-forming unit,” indicating the number of viable microorganisms per milliliter. This is the standard unit used to specify probiotic quantity in supplements. In contrast, inulin dosage is measured in milligrams. A generally accepted minimum for effectiveness is 10⁹ CFU.

What makes a probiotic product effective?

• It contains prebiotics like inulin or fructo-oligosaccharides (FOS) to support probiotic growth.

• It survives stomach acid, bile, and digestive enzymes, reaching the colon alive to colonize and multiply.

• It includes at least 5–6 bacterial strains to reflect the diverse gut microbiome.

• It remains stable and effective throughout its shelf life and production process.

• It provides an adequate CFU count—experts recommend at least 10⁸ or 10⁹ CFU per dose.
