Micronutrients are the essential fatty acids and amino acids, vitamins, minerals and dietary minerals: certain substances required by humans in small quantities which are vital for the proper functioning of our organism, as they absorb and make a good use of the macronutrients that provide the amount of energy needed on a daily basis.
Consuming the right proportion of natural food according to age, sex and physical activity should let our patients achieve the nutritional balance needed for a healthy life. Nevertheless, this has become a difficult task nowadays, because the nutritive value of food is lower and lower for different reasons:
climate change, pollution, methods and time of storage (often excessive), intensive farming, new industrial production techniques, refining of food, ways of preparing the food… Therefore, maintaining a healthy and balanced diet would mean consuming a large amount of food, and this highcalorie diet might result in obesity.

The lack of micronutrients can bring about several problems such as sleep disorders, recurrent infections, stress, irritability, exhaustion, premature aging, and many other problems which can be significantly tackled by taking the adequate supply of micronutrients.
It is then necessary to adopt new eating habits including not only the "main course" but also the micronutritional supplements required for the organism to have the proportion of micronutrients which best meets the patient's needs (for health or aesthetic reasons). These micronutrients are also easier to absorb for the organism and are not incompatible or contraindicated. In addition, they can contribute to enhance the functioning of the traditional treatments. Our doctors find out the individual needs of each patient and prescribe the nutritional supplement that they will need to take in order to maintain their health and wellbeing. Needless to say, these supplements are full of plant extracts and micronutrients. |
