  1. Who benefits from an iodine supplement?

    Iodine-rich foods such as bread, milk, eggs, fish, wheat, and iodine solution on a table.

    Iodine is an important trace element for your body, especially for your thyroid gland. However, some people may be consuming less iodine than they think — for example, due to a changing diet or avoiding iodized salt. In this blog, you can read about what iodine does exactly, who may benefit from extra intake, and when a supplement, such as the Hulda Clark iodine solution, may be worth considering.

    Why iodine is important

    Iodine is an essential trace element that your body needs for normal thyroid function, energy levels, and the nervous system. Iodine also contributes to normal cognitive function and the maintenance of healthy skin. Although we generally got enough iodine in the Netherlands for years through iodized baker's salt in bread, some population groups may now be deficient in iodine. This is due to changing eating habits: people are eating less bread, avoiding dairy products, or choosing non-iodized salts such as Himalayan salt. As a result, some groups of people are at greater

  2. Algae: The New Superfoods from the Sea

    Underwater sunlight shining on a field of green algae on the sea floor – symbol of ocean-based superfoods.

    Welcome to this blog about algae. Algae are single-celled or multi-celled organisms that thrive in a variety of aquatic environments, from lakes to oceans. Although often overlooked, algae are one of the oldest life forms on Earth and contain a wealth of nutrients. There are many types of algae, including Spirulina and Chlorella, two of the most studied and prized algae for their nutritional density and health benefits. Let's take a deep dive into the world of algae and discover why we consider them superfoods.

    What are Algae

    Algae or seaweeds are single-celled or multi-celled organisms that use photosynthesis to convert energy from sunlight into nutrients. They are a diverse group and can be found in a variety of environments, such as oceans, lakes, rivers, and even on moist surfaces such as rocks and trees. Some important characteristics of algae are:

    • Photosynthesis: Algae are capable of photosynthesis, using sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process

  3. Why does healthcare still not work for women?

    Composite portrait of a face that is half female and half male, symbolizing the biological differences between men and women.

    The differences between female and male bodies are enormous. Yet medical science has ignored this for decades. Almost all medicines, dosages, and treatment methods have been tested on men—and women pay the price for this. But how is this possible? And why are the differences between men and women so great?

    The female body: different, more complex, and often ignored

    Medical science has long acted as if the male body is the standard. In clinical studies, drug trials, and even in medical training, the body of the healthy, young man was taken as the starting point. The female body—with fluctuating hormones, a different metabolism, and unique biological processes—was seen as “difficult,” “complex,” or simply not taken into account.

    Only in recent years has awareness grown that these differences are not only biologically logical, but also medically crucial.

    How big are the differences between men and women really?

  4. Healthy in the Sun: All about Sunlight, UV Radiation and Natural Care

    Close-up of wet skin in the sun by a pool – illustrating UV exposure and the importance of natural skincare during summer.

    As soon as summer arrives, we flock outside. The sun gives us energy, warms our bodies, improves our mood and is essential for the production of vitamin D. Sunlight is thus indispensable for our health and well-being. At the same time, exposure to sunlight comes with risks that we should not underestimate - especially because of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation associated with it. UV radiation is invisible, but it has a measurable, harmful impact on our skin, eyes and overall health. Again, it's all about balance. In this blog, you'll read what exactly UV radiation is, its effects on our bodies and how to protect yourself naturally and consciously.

    Sunlight as a natural force: benefits for body and mind

    Sunlight plays an essential role in various bodily processes.

  5. Why Electrolytes Are Indispensable in Hot Weather (and How to Replenish Them)

    Woman sweating during outdoor workout in the sun, with reusable water bottle on the ground – highlights the importance of hydration and electrolytes.

    Summer brings long, sunny days and often more physical activity. Whether you exercise, work in the garden or just enjoy the warm weather, your body loses more fluids than usual. What many people often forget is that you lose not only water through sweating, but also important electrically charged minerals: electrolytes. So proper hydration goes beyond just drinking enough - it's also about replenishing what you lose. In this blog you will read what exactly electrolytes are, why they are so important especially in hot weather and how you can replenish them naturally.

    What are electrolytes and what do they do in your body?

    Electrolytes are minerals that carry electrical charge once dissolved in a liquid, such as water. They are found in our blood, sweat and urine and are essential for numerous body processes. Among other things, electrolytes together ensure proper fluid balance, conduct nerve impulses and muscle contraction. Because the body does not produce electrolytes itself, it is important

    Hand holding a digital TDS meter measuring water quality – TDS testing for pure drinking water at Meditech Europe

    Tap water often looks clear, but appearances are deceptive. The water we drink every day contains numerous dissolved substances: some harmless, while others are less desirable. But how do you know what exactly is in it? And more importantly - what do you want or don't want in your glass? A simple TDS meter gives quick insight, but also raises questions: is a low TDS better? Are minerals good or unnecessary? And which solution suits you - a practical water filter can, or rather a powerful water distiller? Want to know more? Read on quickly.
