Vitamins B
This is a water-soluble vitamin family. The name ‘Vitamin B’ does not covers only one vitamin, it is a vitamin complex (B2, B6, B7, B9, B12). The members of the group Vitamin B are not just only connected to each other by their feature that they are water-solvable, they also work together aligned and synergic in many species of tissues in our body.
Vitamin B2
Vitamin B2 plays a role in the normal energy-producing metabolic processes. It assists to the maintenance of normal vision, the normal state of the red blood cells, the skin and the mucous membranes. It helps reducing tiredness and fatigue, it assists to the maintenance of normal metabolism of iron and it contributes to the protection of the cells against oxidative stress.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 assists to the maintenance of normal psychological function, to the normal function of the nervous system, reducing tiredness and fatigue. It plays a role in the normal energy-producing metabolic processes, in the normal protein, glycogen and cysteine metabolism. Vitamin B6 assists to the normal function of the immune system, to the regulation of hormonal activity, to the normal formation of red blood cells and to the normal homocysteine metabolism.
Vitamin B7
Vitamin B7 assists to the normal function of the nervous system, to the maintenance of the normal psychological function and to the maintenance of the normal state of the skin, the hair and the mucous membranes. It plays a role in the normal energy-producing metabolic processes and in the normal metabolism of the macronutrients.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 assists to the normal function of the nervous system, to the maintenance of the normal psychological function and reducing tiredness and fatigue. It plays a role in the normal energy-producing metabolic processes and in the cell division. Vitamin B12 contributes to the normal function of the immune system, to the normal formation of red blood cells and to the normal homocysteine metabolism.
Vitamin E
It is a fat-solvable vitamin, which is stored up in the liver, in the adipose tissues, in the heart, in the muscles, in the blood, in the adrenal glands and in the hypophysis. It assists to the protection of the cells against oxidative stress.
Vitamin K2
It is a fat-solvAble vitamin. Primarily Vitamin K1 can be found in green, leafy vegetables, such as green vegetable dishes, cabbage, broccoli, spinach and in the liver. Vitamin K plays a role in the normal blood clotting and the maintenance of the normal ossature.
Vitamin A
Vitamin A is a fat-solvable vitamin. It absors from the gastrointestinal tract fat, for this process fats and minerals are needed. It occurs in two forms first is the A-pre-vitamin, the other one is A-pro-vitamin that is known as carotene. Vitamin A assist to the maintenance of the normal state of mucous membranes and skin. It is involved in the normal metabolism of iron, it plays a role in cell differentiation. It contributes to the maintenance of normal vision and the normal function of immune system.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is probably the well-known vitamin and belongs to the group of water-solvable vitamins. Vitamin C is present only in very small amount in foods of animal origin, green plants and fruit cover the bulk of the demand. First it was isolated by Albert Szent-Györgyi in pure condition from adrenal glands in 1928. He was awarded with the 1937 Nobel Prize in Medicine for this discovery. The main natural sources: citrus fruit, berries, green and leafy vegetables, tomato and paprika.
Vitamin C assists to the normal energy-producing metabolic processes, to the maintenance of the normal psychological function, to the normal operation of the nervous and the immune systems. It also assists to the normal formation of collagen, because of this it maintains the normal state of the skin, blood vessels, cartilage, ossature, teeth and gums. It helps reducing tiredness and fatigue, contributes to regenerate the reduced form of vitamin E and increase the absorption of iron. It contributes to the protection of the cells against oxidative stress, and to the normal function of the immune system during or after intense exercise.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D belongs to the group of fat-soluble vitamins. Vitamin D3 is produced from the dehydrocholesterol produced by the liver by the action of sunlight in the skin. Vitamin D assists to the maintenance of the normal calcium level in the blood, of the normal absorption and utilization of calcium and phosphor. (Phosphor is involved in the maintenance of the normal ossature.) It plays a role in the cell division, assists to the maintenance of the healthy function of muscles, of normal ossature and teeth and to the normal function of the immune system.
Calcium
In the body there is more calcium than any other mineral. The calcium and the phosphor are collectively responsible for the healthy bones and teeth. The main calcium weight of the human body is contained in the bones and teeth. The 20% calcium content of an adult’s bones is annually absorbed and will be replaced. For its absorption the body needs enough quantity of vitamin D. In addition it plays an important role in the regulation of irritability and the muscle function. In special circumstances such as pregnancy, might be required supplement. The main natural sources: milk and dairy products, all kinds of cheese, sardines, salmon, walnuts, sunflower seeds, green vegetable dishes. Calcium assists to the maintenance of the healthy function of muscles, normal function of the digestive enzymes. It is involved in the normal blood clotting process, in the normal energy-producing metabolic processes and in the normal impulse conduction. Calcium is necessary to the maintenance of normal ossature and teeth. In addition, it plays a role in the cell division and cell specialization.
