Basil: rich in carotenoids, substances that support the immune system and provide mineral salts, vitamins and antioxidants that act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients. Useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. It provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Butter: source of fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E and K) favorable to the health of the eyes, mucous membranes, bones, immune system and blood clotting.

Spelt flour: rich in fiber, it is particularly suitable in case of constipation. It helps regulate blood glucose levels and results in better insulin sensitivity. Especially if wholemeal, it provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depressed. It stimulates the synthesis of serotonin which counteracts depression and promotes good mood

Brewer’s yeast: improves metabolism and helps strengthen the immune system

Lemon: Rich in substances with antioxidant action: vitamin C, beta-carotene, cryptoxanthin, lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote the regeneration of liver cells, the functionality of the immune system and which act to protect the cardiovascular system; also suitable for nephropathic patients and useful for the functioning of the liver for the supply of vitamins, mineral salts and antioxidants. A species that provides folic acid linked to the production of serotonin and therefore favorable to good mood and counteract depression

Marjoram: good source of antioxidants that promote the functioning of the cardiovascular system and immune system.
