The Vitamins and Minerals your body needs

The Vitamins and Minerals your body needs

We all know vitamins and minerals are good for us. Vitamins and minerals are essential for a healthy life. So here is our low down on just two of them- Magnesium and Zinc.

Magnesium is a mineral that is essential for life.

Magnesium assists in:

  • The functioning of the nervous system and muscles
  • Helps with energy production
  • Reduces tiredness
  • Helps with electrolyte balance
  • Helps keep bones and teeth healthy

You can boost your magnesium intake by simply eating different foods. Dietary sources of Magnesium include:

  • Green leafy vegetables, such as spinach, legumes, nuts, seeds, and whole grains
  • Foods containing dietary fibre
  • Magnesium is also added to some breakfast cereals and other fortified foods

It is often difficult however to reach the recommended dietary allowance for magnesium using diet alone. Magnesium can also be taken as a supplement. Magnesium glycinate is a highly absorbable form of magnesium. It is well tolerated especially by those with sensitive digestive systems!

Zinc is a mineral crucial for the body. It is especially important for the brain, immune system, bones, vision and hormones.

  • Necessary for immune system functionality
  • Zinc assists in adequate production of hormones and helps the reproduction system. Zinc also supports the maintenance of blood levels of testosterone
  • Helps to maintain the strength of the bones, hair, nails and skin
  • Cognitive function requires adequate levels of zinc
  • Zinc is important for vision

Again, Zinc can be boosted by eating foods rich in Zinc. These are:

  • Oysters
  • Red meat and poultry
  • Beans and nuts
  • Certain types of seafood, including crab and lobster
  • Whole grains
  • Fortified breakfast cereals
  • Dairy products

Supplements are also a great and easy source of Zinc. When choosing a supplement it is important to consider how absorbable and bio available the zinc supplied is:

  • Zinc Picolinate is a highly absorbable form of zinc
  • Picolinic acid is used by the body absorb and transport certain minerals

Our clinicians focus on all areas of health advising on minerals and nutrients to support a health lifestyle. Vitamin level testing can also be provided.

Why Combine Focused & Radial Shockwave?

While some clinics offer just one type, at Levitas, we combine both focused and radial shockwave therapy in each session. Why? 

  • Focused shockwave penetrates deeper, making it ideal for tendons, calcifications, and chronic inflammation. 
  • Radial shockwave disperses energy across a wider area — perfect for releasing muscle tension and aiding in muscle recovery. 

Together, this dual-modality approach enhances tissue healing from the inside out. Sessions last 45–60 minutes, giving us time to treat both superficial and deep pain effectively — and that’s why our outcomes are consistently better. 

Benefits of Shockwave Therapy for Muscle Recovery

Shockwave therapy is not only for injury — it’s also a powerful tool for post-exercise recovery and sports rehabilitation. Whether you’re an athlete or someone just trying to stay active, the benefits include: 

  • Faster recovery from intense workouts 
  • Reduced delayed-onset muscle soreness (DOMS) 
  • Improved circulation to fatigued muscles 
  • Loosening of tight fascia and trigger points 
  • Enhanced performance and injury prevention 

If you’re in Wimbledon, Knightsbridge, or Guildford, our local clinics can support your recovery journey without disrupting your routine. 

What to Expect During Your Treatment

  1. Medical Assessment: Your treatment is led by a doctor, not just a technician. We diagnose your issue thoroughly. 
  1. Shockwave Application: We apply both radial and focused waves in a 45–60 minute session. 
  1. Immediate Walk-Out: No need for anaesthesia or rest. Resume work or training the same day. 
  1. Follow-Up: Most people need 3–6 weekly sessions. We assess and adapt your plan each time. 

Whether you live in Mayfair, Kensington, or Cobham, we provide personalised care built on precision and results.
