Bifidobacterium Longum is a probiotic that lives in the gastrointestinal tract and vagina. They are the most important inhabitant in the body. These bacteria maintain a normal digestive tract, boost the immune system,and inhibits the growth of harmful bacteria. Researchers in Japan are studying the effect of Bifidobacterium Longum as a useful gene delivery tool for cancer therapy. It is among the first to colonize the digestive tract of newborns and is important for the development of immune system tolerance. The lack of tolerance in the immune system leads to allergies and diarrhea.

Calcium, is a supple gray alkaline earth metal, which is the fifth most abundant element by mass in the Earth's crust. Calcium is also at the fifth most profuse dissolved ion in seawater by both molarities and mass. Calcium is a significant nutrient that we require in our bodies. It has many imperative functions. It helps getting strong teeth and bones and is involved in muscle contractions and blood clotting, The calcium is mainly stored in our teeth and bones. Low calcium level may lead to the bone fractures and in some cases porous bones or osteoporosis, generally in old age. The intake of calcium can drop down the high blood pressure, maintain your heart functions, avert gum disease, prevent colon and rectum cancer, and help blood to clot.

Iron is vital in human nutrition as the adult human body contains 3-4 grams of iron. Haem-iron and non-haem iron are the two types of iron. Foods rich in haem-iron include meat, liver, fish, and poultry. Foods that are high in non-haem iron are those of vegetable origin, like green leafy vegetables, cereals, legumes, oilseeds, nuts, dry fruits and jiggery. Iron is vital for numerous body functions, including hemoglobin formation, brain development and function, muscle activity, regulation of body temperature and catecholamine. Deficiency of iron affects immune system, reduces the number of T-cells and production of antibodies. Iron is also necessary for binding oxygen to body cells as its main function is oxygen transport and cell respiration. It works as an anti-cancer agent. Iron increases energy level of the body, improving physical performance. It prevents insomnia.

Lactobacillus Acidophilus means acid-loving milk-bacterium. Lactobacillus Acidophilus is a natural occurring bacteria, perhaps it one of most commonly used friendly or probiotic bacteria because it has a variety of benefits. It may be found in the intestine and vagina. It helps protect against the entrance or growth of harmful orgainsms. It produces vitamin K, lactase and other anti-microbial substances. Lactobacillus Acidophilus works by fermenting sugars into lactic acid. It also helps the intestine produce enough lactase to break down lactose, thus, preventing the bloating, Irritable bowel disorder, and discomfort. It also help in improving immune system. It also aids in treating respiratory infections, treat high cholesterol, reduce risk of cancer, and improves lactose absorption.

Lactobacillus Rhamnosus is another type of probiotic. Aside from its positive effects on the intestinal tract, it also helps greatly in improving the immune system. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus signals the body to produce its natural antibiotic to fight disease and infections. It also helps in preventing diarrhea. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus aid in releasing lactic acid that keeps the harmful bactia in control. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus also causes the body to produce white blood cells or lymphocytes that fight infection. It also helps in speeding up the healing process of the body. Lactobacillus Rhamnosus works with the mucous membrane of the intestine and restores the balance of good bacteria. It also helps in diminishing the production of carcinogenic compounds.

Omega-3 fatty acids are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) that are considered to be an essential fatty acid. Omega 3 can be found in seafood and fishes such as tuna, and salmon. It is commonly known as fatty acid that is good for the heart. It also helps reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases by controlling the cholesterol level and blood pressure level. It plays an important role in the efficient function of the brain. It helps in improving the cognitive functions of the brain such as memory and performance; and also aids in the behavioural function of the brain. It also fights fatigue, prevents diabetes, improves dry skin and blood circulation. It also prevents osteoporosis.

Omega-6 is an essential fatty acid that may be obtained from evening primrose oil, seeds, nuts, and cooking oil. It is also known as polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs). It helps promote the generation of skin cells, growth of hair, maintenance of bone health, regulation of metabolism and promotion of reproductive health. A balanced diet of Omega 3 and Omega 6 is important. Excessive omega 6 may promote inflammation. Omega 6 is beneficial in reducing the symptoms of nerve pain in patients with diabetic neuropathy. It also helps in stopping the progression and reducing the pains caused by rheumatoid arthritis such as swelling and stiffness. It also fights allergies, cancer, and eczema and reduces the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).

Omega-9 is also known as oleic acid. It is monounsaturated fat that the body is able to produce by itself. It is abundant in olive oil. It can be found in various foods such as vegetable oils and animal fats. When the body has insufficient Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids, the body tends to produce Omega 9 to compensate for it. It helps prevent arteriosclerosis or the hardening of arteries. It also aids in preventing heart diseases and stroke. It also reduces the insulin resistance. It also helps improve and maintain the blood sugar level. It also improves the immune function and aids in weight loss.

Potassium is an electrolyte, a substance that maintains the fluid levels in the body. It is helpful in regulating blood pressure and heart function. Intake of potassium can benefit people suffering from hypertension. Research has found that a potassium supplement intake decreased incidence of stroke by 60 percent. It neutralizes acids and restores alkaline salts to bloodstream.  It acts along with sodium cells to maintain or restore membrane potentials. Potassium is also vital for nerve functioning and cardiovascular, and regulates nutrients’ transfer into cells and adds to muscle energy. It also helps recuperative powers, besides regulating water balance. Potassium is beneficial for eliminating wastes. It is helpful in controlling headaches and convulsions, and quickens healing of cuts, bruises and other injuries.

Sodium is the element that has the atomic number 11 in the periodic table and is commonly known as the main component in the table salt, together with chloride. Interestingly enough, it is probably the one dietary component which does require limitation rather than supplementation, since that average daily nutritional requirement is around half a gram per day. This most popular food seasoning, salt, is providing the most common source of sodium and chloride in human diets, but is generally overused and may cause health problems, such as high blood pressure, if consumed overly generously. The suggested dose of table salt, or rather the upper limit portion, would be somewhat less than 6 gram per day, according to the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, referenced by FDA. In the UK this limit is set at four grams per day.

Thiamine, also called Vitamin B1 or Thiamin, is needed to help the body utilize energy from proteins, fats and carbohydrates. Thiamine is commonly found in breads and cereals. Thiamine is water-soluble and is concentrated in muscle tissue as it passes thru the body.

Vitamin A is the second Vitamin that was discovered, after Vitamin B. It can be found in several forms, whereby the primary source is the natural retinol derived from animal food sources. Chemically related compounds are called retinoids and are used primarily in medicine and as dietary supplements beta-carotenes. While carotene forms stemming from dietary sources are not toxic, intake of synthetic and natural retinoid forms should be strictly limited. Vitamin A is found naturally in beef, pork, chicken, turkey and fish livers; in the sweet potato, carrot, broccoli leaf, butter, spinach, pumpkin, eggs, papaya, mango, peas, winter squash, apricot, cantaloupe melon and leafy vegetables. Vitamin A is necessary for normal reproductive capabilities, membranes, tissues, skin, eyes, normal tooth and bone development and much more.

Vitamin C, also known as Ascorbic (a-SKOR-bik) acid, is needed for many functions in the body, including helping the body use carbohydrates, protein, and fats. Vitamin C is found in most citrus fruits and green vegetables and is a strong antioxidant.

Vitamin E is a fat-soluble vitamin and is an antioxidant. Vitamin E helps to gradually break down blood clots in the circulatory system and helps prevent more from forming. Involved in red blood cell formation.

Zinc is a metallic chemical element and an essential trace element, whereby only two to four grams of Zinc are found in the human body. There are several biological roles that Zinc plays in humans, including the metabolism of RNA and DNA, gene expression and the regulation of apoptosis. It is deemed vital for proper brain activity and essential in the learning process. It is also critical for the central nervous system, but is also found in muscle, bones, liver, kidneys, eyes and most prominently in the prostate. It is supplied to the body by the ingestion of red meats, particularly beef and lamb, but can also be found in seeds, including sesame and mustard, wheat, beans, whole grains, sunflower seeds and nuts, including almonds.
