METABOLISM AND ENERGY REQUIREMENT
Metabolism is a set of biochemical and energetic processes that take place in living organisms. These processes make it possible to convert the eaten food into energy, which the body uses for the reactions of anabolism (it is characterized by the processes of assimilation and synthesis, which allow the formation of a new substance or the accumulation of new reserve substances in the cells) and catabolism (it is characterized by the processes of decomposition and decay, during which the components of the cell and reserve substances are converted into smaller molecules that are more easily absorbed and / or excreted).
Catabolic reactions, or the breakdown of chemical bonds between more complex molecules into smaller molecules, release energy. This energy is used by the body for normal activities such as muscle work or maintaining body temperature, as well as for normal vital functions such as breathing, digestion and blood circulation during rest.
The set of minimal catabolic reactions necessary for the body to perform these vital activities under conditions of rest and optimal temperature is called BASIC METABOLISM, and the set of catabolic reactions necessary to perform normal physical activity is called ENERGY METABOLISM. Basal metabolism is influenced by genetic factors, age, gender and hormonal factors, while energy is influenced by daily physical activity and food intake.
Dietary substances such as carbohydrates, proteins and fats are the true biofuels: they are broken down into carbon dioxide and water in the presence of oxygen in the animal's body. This process, which takes place through hundreds of intermediate chemical reactions, involves numerous energy transformations and the synthesis of intracellular reserves. These different foods provide different amounts of energy:
- 1 gram of carbohydrates releases about 4 kcal.
- 1 gram of fat releases about 9 kcal.
- 1 gram of protein releases about 4 kcal.
Hence the definition of need, i.e. i.e. the daily amounts of essential nutrients that must be consumed to meet both basal metabolic costs and the energy required for various physical activities. Food should be varied, i.e. i.e. it must contain all the nutrients (proteins, vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, fats) so that the amount of calories consumed corresponds to the energy requirement (however, it must be taken into account that different foods have different caloric content). If calories "eaten" equal calories expended, then the body's caloric balance is in balance; if the calories received are more than consumed, the body stores calories, i.e. i.e. thickens; and vice versa, if the received calories are less than consumed, the body loses energy, i.e. i.e. weight decreases. Given these assumptions, it is clear that each organism has its own metabolism, thanks to which it uses the molecules obtained by digesting and breaking down the ingested food. However, it sometimes happens that it is necessary to supplement the feed with additional elements necessary for the needs of the animal or in any case useful for maintaining its well-being; it is for this reason that a supplement can compensate for a potential deficiency. Food should be varied, i.e. i.e. it should contain all nutrients like proteins, fats, carbohydrates, vitamins and minerals. However, it may sometimes be necessary to supplement certain nutrients that are essential to the animal's needs or in any case beneficial to its well-being. In this case, a supplementary feed such as Multiadapt, which is based on vitamins and minerals, supplemented with spirulina algae and Astragalus root powder, can be useful.
VITAMINS
Vitamins are very important bioregulators, because together with hormones, they determine the course of all physiological processes directly and indirectly through enzymatic mechanisms. According to their solubility, they are divided into fat-soluble (accumulated in the liver, there are body reserves), which dissolve in fat and apolar solvents, and water-soluble (they do not accumulate in the body, so they must be obtained daily with food), which dissolve in polar solvents, for example, water. All vitamins are responsible for specific tasks, and their deficiency can cause malfunctions and/or dysfunction in the body.
VITAMIN A (retinol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that is very important for vision, bone growth and maintaining the proper functions of the immune system. Another function of this vitamin is to protect the epithelium; especially necessary for the mucus-secreting tissues of the digestive, respiratory and urogenital systems. Vitamin A is found mainly in animal-derived foods such as liver and spleen, milk and its derivatives, and eggs, but it is also found in fish and plant sources.
VITAMIN D3 (cholecalciferol) is a fat-soluble vitamin that plays a role in the regulatory mechanism of calcium homeostasis, it is important for skeletal development and bone mineralization. It works in the intestines, promotes the absorption of calcium and phosphorus and contributes to their normal use.
VITAMIN E (α-tocopherol) is a fat-soluble vitamin with antioxidant activity. It is very common in the plant world, especially in cereal germs and their oils, and in the green parts of all plants. It has the main role of physiological antioxidant of the cell.
GROUP B VITAMINS (B1 B2 B6 B12) (thiamine, riboflavin, pyridoxine, cobalamin) is a group of water-soluble vitamins that consists of no less than 15 elements and which, despite the heterogeneity of the molecular structure, have in common the fact that their molecular structure contains nitrogen and they perform a coenzyme function. They participate in the most important stages of intermediate metabolism as coenzymes, i.e. i.e. binds to specific protein components, participating in various metabolic reactions; they are necessary for normal energy metabolism.
VITAMIN B1 - (thiamine) It is widely distributed in many green plant tissues and in many grains, such as whole oats, whole barley, rice hulls. It mainly intervenes in intermediate carbohydrate metabolism, promotes digestive function.
VITAMIN B2 - (riboflavin) It is abundant in the plant world, and in animal tissues and products of animal origin (milk, eggs and fishmeal) - even more. Together with other substances, it regulates cellular respiration processes, is necessary for growth, visual functions and optimal functioning of the nervous system. In addition, vitamin B2 acts as an antioxidant
VITAMIN B6 - pyridoxine, very common in food, especially in wheat bran, milling by-products, animal (meat) flour and seed germs; before being used in the body, it is converted to pyridoxal and pyridoxamine, the main components of the two coenzymes. Due to its trophic effect on the skin and positive effect on the immune system, it is also called adermin.
VITAMIN B12 - (cobalamin), which is not found in plants, is found in various animal foods (liver extracts), fish meal, meat meal and whey and is part of the APF complex (animal protein factor). It is the most important vitamin necessary for growth and hematopoiesis; it is necessary for the synthesis of nucleic acids, as it is involved in protein metabolism. Vitamin B12 also helps maintain a healthy immune system.
VITAMIN C - (ascorbic acid) - a water-soluble vitamin, widely distributed in green vegetables, citrus fruits and germinating seeds, with strong antioxidant activity, which can protect plasma lipids, DNA and proteins from oxidative damage. It is a thermolabile vitamin and is also involved in the production of collagen. It also has a trophic effect on capillaries and has a positive effect on the immune system.
NIACIN - a vitamin widely distributed in grasses, hay, grains, flour, etc., participates in the transmission of nerve impulses at the level of neuron synapses, contributes to the normal functioning of the nervous system. In addition, niacin also affects normal energy metabolism and helps maintain healthy skin.
BIOTIN AND CALCIUM D-PANTOTHENATE are water-soluble vitamins found in egg yolk, milk and liver. Biotin is important for energy metabolism and the metabolism of macronutrients (carbohydrates, lipids, proteins), and also has a trophic effect on the skin, while pantothenic acid is involved in the synthesis of some neurotransmitters and therefore supports the functions of the nervous system.
MICRO ELEMENTS
Micronutrients do not have energy, but are necessary for animal nutrition, but the animal cannot synthesize them (unlike other nutritional components), so they must necessarily be obtained with normal food and in sufficient quantities to meet the needs of the animal. They are protective components because they play a key role in the control of animal metabolism as constituents of the prosthetic group of many enzymes. In addition, some of them perform the functions of enzyme activators and participate in the genesis of hormones and vitamins.
IRON is one of the most important trace elements in animal organisms. About 60-70% of this mineral is in hemoglobin, but a significant amount is also in myoglobin and reserve organs such as the liver, spleen and bone marrow. Almost all of it is absorbed in the duodenum; in the intestinal epithelium, it combines with a protein structure to form a chromoprotein called ferritin. Iron is involved in oxygen transport by becoming part of hemoglobin (heme) and, again like heme, it acts as an enzymatic cofactor for cytochromes.
SELENIUM - Selenium is an essential mineral with an antioxidant effect, thus helping to neutralize the effects of free radicals.
L-CARNITINE is a necessary compound for the transport of fatty acids through membranes, therefore it performs the function of an energy carrier.
SPIRULINA (Spirulina maxima) powder - due to its richness in basic minerals, spirulina is one of the alkaline foods that help to restore the acid-alkaline balance of tissues. In addition, it is rich in vegetable protein.
Rosa canina - COMMON STURGEON (powder) - Small fruits (berries) are considered a natural source of vitamin C, so this plant helps strengthen the body's natural defenses and also has an antioxidant effect.
Astragalus membranaceus L. – ANKLE (root, dry extract) has tonic-adaptogenic properties or the ability to support the body's resistance and protection against various types of physical and mental stress factors in a non-specific way. Calendula roots contain triterpene saponins, flavonoids, pyogenic amines and polysaccharides. Especially polysaccharides stimulate the immune system, strengthen the body's natural defense mechanisms. The saponins contained in the phytocomplex give the plant a hepatoprotective effect.
