Micronutrients: Types, Functions, Benefits and More

October 27, 2020

All diets consist primarily of macronutrients in the form of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Most people appreciate the importance of having an appropriate supply and balance of these three nutrient groups. However, many people overlook or are not aware of the multitude of micronutrients that work with macronutrients to maintain healthy bodily function. Micronutrients influence DNA synthesis, hormone and enzyme production, metabolism, immune activity, limit oxidative stress, and much more. Using a micronutrient supplement such as HoltraCeuticals’ Mito Immune helps support these functions, protect against oxidative damage, and slow the symptoms of aging. 

What is Mito Immune?

Micronutrients are classified as various chemicals found in trace amounts in food. They are more commonly known as vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. Mito Immune is a micronutrient supplement containing an extensive collection of beneficial and essential micronutrients. 

The most common method of acquiring micronutrients is through diet. However, those who are deficient in specific micronutrients, have dietary restrictions such as being a vegetarian or vegan, or those with conditions that impact nutrient absorption, may not get what they need from diet alone. This is where supplementation becomes important. Supplementing with Mito Immune helps ensure that the body gets all the micronutrients it needs.

L-Cysteine

L-cysteine is described as a “semi-essential” amino acid. This is because the body can produce it in small amounts but still relies on external sources for optimal levels. The primary role of l-cysteine is the production of glutathione. Glutathione is considered the master antioxidant and provides notable benefits by limiting oxidative stress, helping to protect against oxidative damage, and repairing cells affected by it. 

Apart from glutathione production, l-cysteine provides some relief of and protection against oxidative damage. Other benefits of l-cysteine include increased detoxification, improved blood glucose levels, and greater digestive health. Studies suggest that l-cysteine and may even improve psychiatric disorders.
