Our guide

The extremely complex human body can be roughly divided into areas for the treatment of various problems and diseases.

Each of these individual problem areas reacts positively to certain natural raw materials that are represented in the sanitas product portfolio.

Our body – systems and functions

Our body is an extremely complex anatomical structure. Various body and organ systems work together to ensure that the functions that determine our lives can run smoothly. Learn more about the function of the most important systems, which influences can disrupt or weaken the system and what we can do ourselves to prevent this from happening in the first place.

Immune system

Respiratory viruses, such as the currently spreading novel coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 and seasonal influenza viruses of different strains, cause diseases whose symptoms manifest themselves in respiratory inflammation. A strong immune system that recognizes invading pathogens and activates the body’s own defences is like a protective shield and helps to ward off the attack of viruses and other pathogens.

Bladder & urinary tract

Our urinary system is something like the “filter system” of our body. In addition to the kidneys, it also includes the bladder, urethra and ureters. The kidneys filter minerals and metabolic breakdown products from the blood, which are excreted in the urine.

Metabolism

In simple terms, the term metabolism covers all the biochemical processes that take place in our body cells.

Stomach & Intestine

Our digestion is a very complex system involving the mouth, throat, esophagus, stomach, small intestine with liver, gall bladder and pancreas and large intestine.

Hormone system & sexuality

Our body consists of numerous organs and systems with very different tasks. For everything to function properly, the processes must be coordinated. Hormones are responsible for controlling these biological processes.

Heart & circulation

The most important task of our circulatory system is to continuously supply all organs and tissues with oxygen, nutrients, vitamins and minerals and to remove the breakdown products of metabolism.

Skin & Hair

The skin is the most versatile organ in our body. First and foremost, it protects us from external environmental influences and the penetration of pathogens.

Brain & nerves

Thinking, feeling, sensing, learning, remembering – we owe these abilities to our brain and nervous system.

Bones & Muscles

Bones, joints, tendons and muscles – without them we would not be able to hold ourselves upright, walk or perform a wide variety of movements.
