Gluconic acid is effective in yeast infections such as Candida.

6. Acid Butyrate

Butyric acid produced by yeasts and yeast work together to fight infection with gluconic acid.

7. Nucleic Acids

Nucleic acid works to increase cell regeneration is good and healthy.

8. Amino Acids

Amino acids are a group of acids that play a role in the formation of proteins. Essential amino acids in cell division and repair damaged tissue. Amino acids can also form antibodies to fight bacteria and viruses.

9. Folic acid (Citoforum Factor or leucovorin)

Folic acid helps the production of blood cells, heal wounds, build muscle, and help the process of cell division. Folic acid is essential for the formation of DNA and RNA (the substances forming the walls of the cell nucleus). Folic acid deficiency can cause DNA damage that can lead to cancer. Another function is to prevent and improve the state of depression, increase concentration, inhibits cell growth in colon cancer, cervical cancer (cancer of the mouth or neck of the uterus), lung cancer, and cancers of the esophagus (the tube that connects the pharynx or farings by stimulating enzymes homocysteine ​​metabolism, so as to avoid damage to the brain and blood vessel constriction.

Principally, thiamine acts as an enzyme in reactions that produce energy from carbohydrates and energy transfer to form energy-rich compound called adenosine triphosphate (ATP).
Thiamine can not be stored by the body a lot, but in limited numbers can be stored in the liver, kidney, heart, brain, and muscles. If thiamine too much is consumed, the excess will be excreted through the urine.
People who are at risk of vitamin B1 deficiency disease beriberi, edema, and degeneration of muscle tissue. Beriberi disease sufferers at greater risk developing neurological disorders.

This situation is characterized by impaired formation and development of blood cells (hematopoiesis) enemia cause megaloblastic yan (a type of anemia with red blood cells big ones), neurological disorders such as memory loss and balance disorders, epithelial cell damage, especially gastrointestinal epithelial , as well as general debilitas or general weakness.
People who are older than 50 years should increase the amount of vitamin B12. Vitamin B12 deficiency causes anemia. Vitamin B12 deficiency generally occurs in the elderly due to reduced absorption of vitamins in the gastrointestinal tract. This situation can occur due to decreased production of stomach acid; reduced production of pepsin (protease enzyme produced gastric glands); occurrence of gastritis (inflammation of the stomach) due to decreased function of cells, tissues, or organs, and decreased intrinsic factor (organic material in cells that could absorbed or metabolized). Everyday foods that contain this vitamin include meat, eggs, and dairy products. 
6. Vitamin B15Vitamin B15 acts as a catcher of free radicals and tissue oxygenator. This vitamin is also called acid pangamik. Vitamin B15 derived from the amino acid glycine.

Foods that contain vitamin B15 are nuts and seeds.
