There are many essential elements for the well-being of the human body, each of which substantially contributes to the correct functioning of one or more aspects of growth and health.

Zinc, Chromium, Iodine and Selenium are micro-elements that perform various important functions in the human body, controlling some fundamental vital functions.

In particular:

– Zinc plays an important role in the development of the immune system and protects the body from infections. It also has an anti-oxidant function, reducing the formation of free radicals.

– Chromium contributes not only to the physiological metabolism of macronutrients, transforming carbohydrates, proteins and fats into energy for the body, but also helps to maintain normal glucose levels in the blood, which are “fuel” for the cells.

– Iodine is an essential mineral for the synthesis of thyroid hormones, in turn responsible for numerous biological activities, including thermogenesis, carbohydrate metabolism, protein synthesis through a trophic effect on the muscle and cardiovascular activity to increase myocardial contractility.

– Selenium is a fundamental nutrient that contributes and maintains the immune system. Selenium is fundamental for maintaining normal thyroid function and for hair and nail growth. Moreover, it contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress.

Starting from the assumption that it is necessary to enhance these micro-elements, making them more bioavailable without side effects, Alesco has developed Ultrazin®, Ultrachrome®, Ultraiod®, Ultrasel® exploiting the properties of Sucrosomial® Technology.
Using this technology, the micro-nutrients pass through the gastrointestinal tract unaltered and are then absorbed in the intestines and carried into the bloodstream.

The Sucrosomial® matrix gives these micro-elements a combination of gastric resistance and palatability, optimising their assumption while reducing the risk of undesirable effects.
