B vitamins: Unleash the Beast part2
from: andy casasantaThis is another vitamin article that I have written, but the only difference is that this one goes into
more detail about specific vitamins. My previous articles do not do that. Those articles were
more of a short introduction into vitamins their role and their best food source. I'll start with
2 water Soluble Vitamins and 1 fat soluble vitamins.
Water Soluble Vitamins: These are water-soluble vitamins that are not stored in the body and must be replaced each day.
These vitamins are Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, vitamin B3, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, Folic Aid, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin and vitamin C.
Lets start with the b vitamins: Vitamin B3 or niacin is needed to process carbs, fats, and proteins. Vitamin b3 is required by everybody to form the fuel the body runs on. Every nerve cell requires vitamin b3 to function properly.
B complex vitamins also play an important role in maintaining muscle tone along the digestive tract and promoting the health of the nervous system, skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver. The best sources of vitamin B3 are found in beef liver, beef kidney, pork, turkey, chicken, veal, fish, salmon, swordfish, tuna, brewer's yeast, sunflower seeds.
The suggested RDA for vitamin b3 is unclear but The amount found in most multivitamin supplements is more than enough.
But as a general rule, 15 milligrams each day for women and men should have slightly more, 15 to 20 milligrams should do it. Please follow the suggested daily amounts as suggested on the bottle if your supplementing.
Please note, be aware that vitamin b3 or Niacin, may cause a reaction in some people. Itching and or burning are two of the symptoms. The author of this article found that out the hard way.
Vitamin B6 is needed to process carbs, fats, and proteins. Vitamin b6 is required by everybody to form the fuel the body runs on. Every nerve cell requires vitamin b3 to function properly. Vitamin b6 may also benefit children with learning difficulties. Can also promote red blood cell production and linked to cancer immunity.
Fat-soluble vitamins: Theses vitamins are A, D, E and K. These vitamins are dissolved in fat and stored, therefore
they are not needed every day in the diet. Over consumption of fat soluble vitamins may pose a risk of toxicity.
Lets talk about Vitamin D. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption and calcium transport to bones. Assists in bone growth and bone strength, also promotes strong teeth. Good food sources of Vitamin D are mackerel, salmon, sardines, tuna and eggs.
For daily requirements of Vitamin D, please follow recommended RDA. Please remember the toxicity factor.
Well that's it for this article. Look for more of my vitamin articles coming soon.
