A recommended health food for women who take care of themselves!
Consumers can now choose products based on their health status, age, gender, and the purpose of taking nutritional supplements.
This time, I would like to recommend some ingredients that are helpful for women's health .
Health functional food ingredients recommended for women
Resveratrol
ㅤ
Resveratrol, found in abundance in wine and berries, is a powerful anti-aging effect It is a proven ingredient. Our bodies contain sirtuin genes, which promote anti-aging by suppressing aging genes. However, as we age, sirtuin gene activity decreases, leading to aging. Resveratrol activates sirtuin genes, prolonging lifespan.
These resveratrols have different absorption rates in the body depending on their cis and trans forms. Trans-Resveratrol Its stable molecular structure allows for greater bioavailability and absorption. When consuming resveratrol in its trans form, it is more effective in preventing aging.
So when choosing a supplement, make sure the resveratrol you take is 'trans-resveratrol'!
* Cis, Trans: Although the molecular formula is the same, the physical and chemical properties differ depending on whether it is cis or trans. The difference in bioavailability and absorption rate between cis-resveratrol and trans-resveratrol is also due to differences in physical and chemical properties.

Quercetin
ㅤ
Quercetin, found in abundance in onion skins, has a powerful antioxidant effect. It is a proven raw material . When active oxygen accumulates in the body, aging occurs due to cell damage . At this time , quercetin helps maintain a healthy body by inhibiting the accumulation of active oxygen through antioxidant action . Quercetin UV protection effect class It has anti-inflammatory properties . Normally, inflammatory responses occur in our bodies through macrophages and mast cells . Quercetin calms the immune system by suppressing the activity of inflammatory cells and NFkB, a gene that induces inflammation .
However, quercetin has a low absorption rate . This problem can be solved by taking quercetin together with digestive enzymes such as bromelain or flavonoid supplements such as vitamin C or resveratrol, or in the form with the highest absorption rate. This can be solved by increasing bioavailability using 'Quercetin Dihydrate' .
* Active oxygen: A general term for oxygen that is more unstable and reactive than normal oxygen; it acts as a harmful substance to the body and can damage cell structures.
* Bromelain: A powerful protein-digesting enzyme found in pineapple stems.
* Flavonoids: compounds released from plants or fungi
folic acid
ㅤ
Folic acid, a water-soluble vitamin belonging to the vitamin B9 group , is essential for the synthesis of amino acids and nucleic acids and plays a very important role in cell division and growth . Folic acid is Prevents depression, prevents fetal malformations, improves vascular diseases, has anti-cancer effects, prevents anemia, prevents dementia, and prevents stroke . It has the effect of . It is recommended to take 400µg of folic acid daily from the age of 14 .
However, the absorption rate of natural folic acid in food is 50%, while the absorption rate of folic acid in folic acid supplements is 100% , so to consume the same amount of folic acid, you would need to consume much more from food. Instead of foods containing folic acid , folic acid supplements It is beneficial to consume folic acid. Folic acid changes form in order to be utilized in the body. When taking folic acid supplements, it is best to consume folic acid in its final form, which is Active folic acid (5-Methyltetrahydrofolate) It is most beneficial to take it.
Here, we introduce the ingredients of health functional foods recommended for women.
The most important thing when choosing a health functional food is ‘what ingredients it contains.’
Before purchasing a health functional food, check the back of the product to see the ingredients! Then, refer to the efficacy of the ingredients listed above to choose the health functional food that's right for you!
We will continue to strive to collect diverse health information and publish useful content.
We will return with more useful health information next time.
