• Soluble Fiber can delay gastric emptying and slow the transit of food through the upper GI tract).
• It also promote satiety (the feeling of being full).
• Manganese activates special enzymes necessary for proper digestion and synthesis of Carbohydrates, fatty acids and Cholesterol.
Foods & Digestive System
Energy
• Manganese ensures elevated Energy levels and efficiently contributes or aids in converting Proteins and fats to Energy, thus combating tiredness, low blood sugar levels and mood swings.
• Vitamin B1 ensures adequate Energy levels. ThiamineCarbohydrates and Proteins into Energy for use in the brain, heart, lungs, and kidneys.

Eye
• Vitamin B1 works together with essential fatty acids Omega-3 and Omega-6 to offer protection against Cataract and offer healthy vision.
• Higher intake of ThiamineCataract and lens opacification.

• It slows the absorption of nutrients from the small intestine.
• It entrap bile salts and Cholesterol in the large intestine, thus protecting against belly fat accumulation.
Foods & Intestine
Metabolism
• Manganese supports Thyroid activity and promotes Thyroid Hormone production (thyroxine) activity.
• This supports Bone and nerve development and increase Metabolism.
• It helps the body metabolize nutrients such as Vitamins and Choline.
• It plays a crucial part in the synthesis of fatty acids and Cholesterol, maintains healthy blood sugar levels and supports the activity of the Thyroid Gland.
• Vitamin B1 is a water-soluble vitamin required for Carbohydrate and ethanol Metabolism, thus responsible for supplying our body with Energy (fuel for the Human Body) and sustaining a myriad of essential processes.
Foods & Metabolism
Musculoskeletal System
• Vitamin B1 helps produce acetylcholine (a neurotransmitter that sends messages to both muscles and nerves).
• Thiamine
