- The nutrients and micronutrients necessary for our body to accumulate, maintain its structure and function optimally (metabolism, immune system, nervous system, brain, digestive and assimilation functions, hormones, etc.)
- Without fear or obsession, good quality blood, health, peace, balance, and inner connection. So that we can live our lives 100% without the energy leaving us, like deodorant!
