About us
Our body needs various nutrients to function properly, which are divided into two main categories: macronutrients and micronutrients.
Macronutrients include carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, which provide the body with the energy it needs and play an important role in building and repairing tissues.
- Carbohydrates: Known as the primary source of energy for daily activities, they are quickly absorbed, made available to the body, and play an important role in brain and muscle function. Their sources can include fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and dairy products.
For individuals who need extra carbohydrates or specific types of them, taking the relevant supplements is recommended.
- Proteins: They build and repair the body’s tissues and play a key role in the formation of muscles, enzymes, hormones, and the immune system. Amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins, not only play an important role in protein synthesis but also have various independent functions in the body. Sources of proteins and amino acids mainly include meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, legumes, nuts, and seeds.
- Fats: They are important as a source of energy and for aiding the absorption of fat‑soluble vitamins and carotenoids. One of the most important categories of fats is essential fatty acids, which include fats the body cannot produce and must obtain through the diet. The most beneficial sources of fats include unsaturated vegetable oils, fatty fish, avocados, nuts, and seeds.

The body also needs small but essential amounts of micronutrients to function properly. Micronutrients include vitamins and minerals, which are necessary for carrying out many of the body’s vital processes. These substances include:
- Vitamins: These include fat‑soluble vitamins such as A, D, E, and K, as well as water‑soluble vitamins such as vitamin C and the B‑complex vitamins. Each plays a special role in metabolic processes, immunity, vision, energy production, and maintaining the health of the skin and various organs of the body. Important sources of vitamins include fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy products, meat and liver, fish, and vegetable oils.
- Minerals include calcium, iron, magnesium, sodium, potassium, phosphorus, and others, which are important in various bodily functions such as bone formation, oxygen transport with hemoglobin, regulation of water balance and blood pressure, and the functioning of nerves and muscles.
Other beneficial components also include trace elements such as chromium, molybdenum, and others, which the body needs in very small amounts.
To meet daily requirements, or to benefit from the supportive effects of vitamins and minerals in the treatment of certain diseases, these supplements are recommended in specific amounts.
Important points:
- Remember that the exact macronutrient and micronutrient requirements vary from person to person and depend on age, sex, activity level, pregnancy/lactation status, medical conditions, and lifestyle. Therefore, before taking any type of supplement, it is best to consult with a doctor, pharmacist, or nutrition specialist to determine your body’s actual needs.
- It should be considered that taking certain vitamins and minerals together, or at the same time as other medications, may lead to unwanted effects or reduce each other’s effectiveness. Therefore, if you have a specific medical condition, are undergoing treatment with a particular medication, or are currently taking another supplement, consult your doctor or pharmacist before using supplements. Also, consult your pharmacist to learn about the proper method and timing of use, as well as any limitations or contraindications related to supplement consumption.
