What role do dietary supplements play for oral and general health?

A balanced, plant-rich diet forms the basis for healthy teeth, bones, mucous membranes and a well-functioning metabolism. Nevertheless, in certain stages of life it can make sense to review the supply of selected micronutrients. Vitamin D in particular plays an important role in calcium metabolism, bone mineralization and the immune system. Magnesium is also important for numerous metabolic processes and for maintaining healthy bones. If relevant risk factors are present, it can make sense to check vitamin D status and, where appropriate, magnesium supply. In addition, plant-based foods provide valuable bioactive substances such as polyphenols from berries and fruit and natural nitrates from green leafy vegetables and beetroot. Polyphenols are being researched with regard to their antioxidant properties and their interactions with the oral microbiome. Plant-based nitrates can contribute to nitric oxide metabolism via certain oral bacteria and thereby support the regulation of vascular function. The ApaCare Essentials Superfruit Shake and the ApaCare Essentials Gummies can be used as a practical supplement to a conscious diet.
