What are micronutrients?
Micronutrients include vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other essential substances that support vital functions such as energy metabolism or immune defense. Unlike macronutrients, such as carbohydrates or fats, micronutrients are not about energy, but about regulation. As your body cannot produce most of them itself, you need a balanced diet with plenty of amino acids, trace elements and vitamins to cover your needs.
We test on over 70 Micronutrients
-
Amino acids
Amino acids
Amino acids are chemical compounds that can be strung together to form long chains and thus form the basic structure of proteins. They are found in all living things and are responsible for various vital functions in the human body. Part of the amino acids can be produced by the body itself and therefore they are classified as non-essential. The essential amino acids, on the other hand, are indispensable and must be taken in regularly with food.
Tested materials:Creatine, GABA, Glycine, Glutathione, L-Alanine, L-Arginine, L-asparagine, L-Cysteine, L-Citrulline, L-Phenylalanine, L-Glutamine, L-Histidine, L-isoleucine, L-Leucine, L-lysine, L-Methionine, L-ornithine, L-Proline, L-serine, L-Theanine, L-threonine, L-Tyrosine, L-tryptophan, L-valine

Vitamins & Vitaminoids
Vitamins & Vitaminoids
Vitamins are organic compounds and unlike other nutrients, vitamins do not provide energy. They are substances that the body itself cannot synthesize (with the exception of vitamin D). Therefore, they are considered essential for humans, as they must be ingested with food. Vitaminoids are vitamin-like substances that includes a number of different substances and metabolites. They were all initially assigned to the group of vitamins until it was discovered that the body can synthesize them itself. They thus belong to the conditionally essential nutrients, since in the case of illness or certain metabolic conditions, it may be possible that their own synthesis does not cover the daily requirement.
Tested materials:Vit A, Alpha Lipoic Acid, Vit C, Choline, Coenzyme Q10, Vit D, Vit E, Inositol, L-Carnitine, Taurine, Vit B1, Vit B10 (PABA), Vit B12, Vit B15 (pangamic acid), Vit B2, Vit B3, Vit B5, Vit B6, Vit B7, Vit B9, Vit K2

Secondary plant substances
Secondary plant substances
Secondary plant compounds are natural chemical compounds in plants that are not essential nutrients . Nevertheless, they have a variety of positive effects on the human body and can prevent the development of various diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases or even cancer.
Tested materials:Astaxanthin, Beta-carotene, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), Spermidine, Quercetin, Sulforaphane, Lutein, Resveratrol, Rutin
-
Minerals
Minerals
Minerals are essential nutrients that must be ingested through food and that the human body needs for numerous functions. Minerals are divided into bulk and trace elements. Quantitative elements are present in the body in relatively large quantities, while trace elements are present only in small quantities.
Tested materials:Copper, Iron, Calcium, Chrome, Zinc, Iodine, Potassium, Silicon, Magnesium, Manganese, Selenium
-
Enzymes
Enzymes
Enzymes are complex protein molecules that act as "accelerators" (also called biocatalysts) of biochemical reactions or metabolic processes in the human body. This means that they accelerate biochemical reactions by lowering the necessary activation energy.
Tested materials:Bromelain, Papain, Pepsin
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Iron

What influence do micronutrients have?
-
Physical changes
An increased need for micronutrients can throw the body out of balance and manifest itself in various warning signs. Symptoms such as tiredness, fatigue or digestive problems can indicate that certain nutrients are particularly important. Skin problems, hair loss and brittle nails can also be a sign of an increased need.
Typical symptoms:
- Constant tiredness
- Pale skin
- Hair loss
- Digestive problems
- Muscle cramps
-
Mental stress
Did you know that an increased need for micronutrients can also affect your mental health? An imbalance of nutrients can affect your mood and lead to irritability, anxiety and even depression.
Typical symptoms:
- Mood swings
- Concentration problems
- Persistent depression
- Sleep disorders
- Nervousness
-
Chronic complaints
An increased need for micronutrients can also manifest itself in chronic problems. Long-lasting symptoms such as joint pain or migraines should be seen as a signal to check your micronutrient balance. A targeted intake of nutrients can help to alleviate such symptoms.
Typical symptoms:
- Chronic fatigue
- Joint pain
- Migraine
- Muscle pain
- Rheumatic complaints
Around 30% of Germans do not cover their vitamin D requirements sufficiently.
According to the NDR article
In the winter months, experts recommend an additional vitamin D supplement, as many people suffer from a deficiency. Without supplementation, symptoms such as decreasing bone density and a weakened immune system could occur.
What factors influence your micronutrient requirements?
-
Nutrition
- An unbalanced diet, especially with processed foods, can lead to a lack of important micronutrients.
- The micronutrient balance can be improved through a diet that focuses on plant-based, unprocessed foods without preservatives and gentle preparation.
-
Lifestyle
- Negative habits such as little sleep, smoking and excessive alcohol or coffee consumption have an unfavorable effect on the micronutrient balance.
- The regular consumption of stimulants can be partially offset by a diet rich in fruit and vegetables.
-
Stress
- High levels of physical or mental stress have a negative effect on many antioxidant micronutrients and minerals.
- Stress reactions can be regulated and the nutrient balance improved through relaxation exercises, sufficient sleep, abstaining from alcohol and tobacco and a balanced diet with a targeted micronutrient intake.
-
Environment
- Environmental influences such as UV radiation, harmful substances in food, air pollution or chemicals can have a negative impact on the micronutrient balance.
- Avoiding contaminated food, washing fruit and vegetables thoroughly, using organic products and taking in sufficient antioxidants can help to prevent contamination.
-
Sport
- Excessive sport, especially competitive sport, can greatly increase micronutrient requirements through increased mineral excretion, increased energy consumption and protein synthesis.
- The body can be adequately supplied with proteins, electrolytes, minerals, vitamins and antioxidants through targeted nutritional adaptation and supplementation.

Frequently asked questions
-
Why are micronutrients so important?
Micronutrients are essential for the body and support functions such as energy metabolism and immune defense. A high requirement can lead to symptoms such as tiredness. As the body usually cannot produce them itself, a balanced diet is important.
-
Difference between micro- and macronutrients
Micronutrients are vitamins and minerals that the body needs in small quantities. Macronutrients are proteins, fats and carbohydrates, which are needed for energy and the development of body tissues.
-
Important micronutrients and their functions
Vitamins such as vitamin C support the immune system, while B vitamins promote energy metabolism. Minerals such as iron are important for oxygen transport in the blood, and zinc contributes to wound healing and skin health. A balanced supply of these nutrients is crucial for general well-being and bodily functions.
-
Signs of increased micronutrient requirements
Possible signs of an increased micronutrient requirement can be constant tiredness, concentration problems, frequent infections, brittle nails, hair loss and dry skin. Muscle cramps, irritability or persistent fatigue can also indicate that the body needs additional micronutrients.
-
Difference between micronutrient requirement vs. deficiency
Micronutrient requirements are the amount of vitamins and minerals that the body needs to function optimally. It varies depending on age, gender, physical activity and living conditions. An increased requirement does not necessarily mean a deficiency. This only occurs if the body is not supplied with sufficient amounts over a longer period of time. This can lead to symptoms such as tiredness and weakened immune function, often caused by an inadequate diet or illness. We test the micronutrient requirement, not for a deficiency.
-
Tips for better micronutrient intake
A balanced diet of fresh, unprocessed foods is important for optimal micronutrient intake. Combine nutrient-rich ingredients such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains and healthy fats. Be sure to vary meals to get a wide range of vitamins and minerals. Drinking enough water and minimizing stress-related influences also supports nutrient absorption.
