"Vitamin D - built in X organs Heres the shortcut to how sunlight becomes a hormone in X steps: X Sunlight Sparks It UVB converts 7-dehydrocholesterol in skin into Vitamin D. 💡 Low sun sunscreen darker skin less D formed. X Or You Eat It Fatty fish eggs fortified foods or supplements provide D/D. 💡 But its inactive when swallowed still just raw material. X Liver Conversion Needs Magnesium In the liver enzymes (25-hydroxylase) turn D 25-hydroxy D (calcidiol). 💡 Magnesium is required here as a cofactor low Mg = stalled activation.

"Potassium isnt just another mineral; its the bodys electrical currency. Understanding potassium balance why It matters for every cell: Potassium (K) is one of the bodys most critical electrolytes. It drives nerve impulses muscle contractions and heart rhythm stability. Even small shifts too high (hyperkalemia) or too low (hypokalemia) can have major physiological effects. Heres how it works 👇 X Where Potassium Lives About XX% of potassium is stored inside cells while only X% circulates in the blood. This delicate balance is maintained by the sodiumpotassium pump (Na/K-ATPase) constantly"

"How your muscles talk to your brain (and everything else) When you move your muscles dont just contract; they communicate. During exercise muscle fibers release small signaling molecules called myokines that act like messengers carrying instructions to organs throughout the body. X What Are Myokines Myokines are specialized peptides released by contracting muscle fibers. Once in the bloodstream they act on distant tissues from the brain to the liver influencing how your entire body functions. 🟢 Example: When you exercise your muscles become an endocrine organ not just a source of movement. 2"

X Stomach Acid Breaks It Free Gastric acid + pepsin release B12 from food proteins. 💡 Without stomach acid (think antacids or age-related decline) B12 release suffers. X Haptocorrin (HC) Grabs It First In the stomach B12 binds to HC (a protective chaperone). 💡 This shields B12 from the harsh acidic environment. 4"

"L-Theanine - how it calms the brain without making you tired L-theanine is an amino acid found naturally in green tea. Its best known for its unique ability to promote calm alertness relaxing the brain without causing drowsiness. Heres how it works: X Shifts Brain Waves Toward Calm Focus Your brain constantly produces electrical patterns called brain waves. Beta waves = active thinking or stress (high frequency).
