Vitamin E has the ability to binds and then to removes the accumulated free radicals from the organism. Free radicals destroy the cell membranes and cause a number of diseases, including atherosclerosis, cancer, diabetes, arthritis and the Parkinson’s disease. Vitamin E protects the tissues cell membranes from oxidation, at the same time increases the men potency. The vitamin also helps at inflammations and muscle pains. It stimulates the protein synthesis and helps the muscular growth, also stabilizes the blood sugar levels, by insulin secretion influences.
All multivitamin preparations ( MultiTabs, Supradin, Supravit, etc.) contain vitamin E and sells as separate preparation in form of tablet, too.

Vitamin b12 benefits
Vitamin B12 improves the protein exchange, participates in the holin, methionin and nucleic acids synthesis. It is important part of the protoplasm and cell nuclei. The nucleic acids are used for protein synthesis, also they make easier cell proliferation and regeneration processes in the young organisms. Vitamin B12 stimulates the eritro- , leuco- and trombopoesis. In the stomach B12 forms the so called anti-anemic agent, which stores in the liver. Cobalamin has good influence over nerve system and liver functions. B12 has anti-inflammatory, anti-allergic and anti-distrophic effect.
Vitamin B12 prevents liver from fat infiltrations and increases the glucose tolerance, also improves the reproduction system, skin and digestive tract activity.
Vitamin B12 enters the body with the food as an “outer” agent and synthesizes from the gut micro flora, which naturally lives in small intestines. Rotting processes in the organism prevents the vitamin B12 assimilation. The processes appeared at incorrect protein consummation; the proteins are kept in the stomach from carbohydrates, which make difficult protein assimilation. The vitamin B12 deficiency appears in people who suffer form alcoholism and liver diseases, in pregnant women and vegetarians too.
Vitamin b12 information
Major doses of cobalamin founds in animal sub-products and meat. Vitamin B12 is very stable at heating (its molecule breaks down about round 250 degree centigrade)
Vitamin C is an antioxidant necessary for at least 300 metabolic organism functions: for tissue growth and recovery, for the normal function of several glands and for healthy gums, too. Its assists also the anti-stress hormone and interferon production (protein important for the immune system) and is necessary for the folic acid, tyrosine and phenylalanine metabolism.
The vitamin C assimilation can relieves asthma symptoms. Vitamin C protects from the destroying effect of the environment pollution, also assists the anti-cancer prophylactics, protects from infections and increases the immunity. Organism iron absorption increases at vitamin C availability. This vitamin can binds toxic substances, like heavy metals, and returns them in form suitable for throwing out from the organism. Even the “black widow” spider’s poison can be making harmless with huge vitamin C doses application.
Vitamins and multivitamins activity
in Vitamins / best multivitamins, breast feeding, pregnancy, proteins Edit This
Vitamins are the basic nutrition along with proteins, fats, carbohydrates and mineral salts. They regulate all metabolic processes, as their catalytic activity is main function. Vitamins are essential for the normal body reactions fulfillment, for nutrition assimilation, for cells and tissue grow and recovery.
Regular vitamin intake increases the organism immunity and its firmness against the aggressive environment factors. Vitamins help the blood development, liver and hormonal functions, too. They are necessary for normal proteins, fats, carbohydrates and mineral salts usage. In the presence of vitamin deficiency the regular metabolism of the listed essential substances is break. The specific vitamin deficiency can lead to all other vitamins assimilation disturbance. Their biological activity depends on the quantity of food proteins. Proteins deficiency disturbs the vitamin C, B1, B2, carotene and etc., assimilation. That is why the vitamin deficiency is connected with the protein lack. With right organized daily diet, the organism takes all necessary vitamins and additional synthetic vitamins are not needed. The natural vitamins are easy assimilated and have better influence than their synthetic analogs.
The organism vitamin needs depends on sex, age, physiological activity, profession and labour conditions. Daily vitamins doses increase with pregnancy, breast feeding, intensive physical and intellectual activity, at sport activities and after infection diseases period.
The vitamins deficiency or lack can causes specific shortage conditions and diseases called hypo- and avitaminousis. From other side the extreme vitamins intake leads to hyper vitaminousis.
The most important vitamin B1 function is its role in carbohydrate cycle regulation (the more carbohydrate consumption, the more vitamin B1 needs). This function makes vitamin B1 significant for muscles and nerve system.
The vitamin B1 deficiency symptoms are:
- general weakness
- decreased working capacity
- headache
- disability to concentrate
- tingle limbs
- heart beating at physical work
At very extreme shortage bery-bery disease develops, which leads to neuritis, polyneuritis and neuralgias. The guilt to so called “hidden” vitamin B1 deficiency is of alcohol, black tea and coffee, also regular overeating with chocolates and other sweets.
Vitamin B1 or thiamin was a first vitamin to be discovered. The name comes from its chemical structure. The daily dose is aprox 1,5 mg. It is recommended to be consumed 0,5 mg. vitamin B1 at every 1000 kcal. eaten.
Vitamin A deficiency – How to avoid it ?
Vitamin A is very important for the skin elasticity, bones, teeth and normal sexual functions. The same as vitamin C and vitamin E, vitamin A acts as an antioxidant (destroys harmful free radicals). Vitamin A has a preventive role against cancer and atherosclerosis. It promotes the rodopsin formation, which is very important substance for the good vision, especially for the so called “night vision”.
Vitamin A strengthens the immune system and protects all the tissues form different infections. Ninety present of it deposits in the liver. It is a fat-soluble vitamin important for our body.
Vitamin A has two forms: retinol and retinoid (beta-carotene). Beta-carotene promotes the formation of vitamin A in our body (precursor of vitamin A) and contains in yellow vegetables such as pumpkin and carrots. The active type of vitamin A is found in fish oil, in eggs, liver and milk. Also you can find it in every drug store as a preparation.
Vitamin A is found in every multivitamin preparations (MultiTabs, Supradin / Supradyn , Supravit, etc.), and also like a single preparation in a tablet form. For body-builders especially is produced a unique preparations containing vitamins and minerals.
On the contrary, the beta-carotene is not toxic in any doses, because the body uses it to produce vitamin A only when it needs it. So you can accentuate to beta-carotene consumption.
Description and sources:
Vitamin B3 is widespread in the body, it finds in every one cell. PP is relative steady at heating- the food looses only 20% of its vitamin B3 quantity. PP is found in chicken meat, beef, pork, liver, grain foods, and legumes.
Health benefits of niasin:
Vitamin B3 participates in cell breathing, carbohydrate metabolism and fat synthesis. The body fills its supplies with PP by the tryptophan amino acid dissociations (from 60 mg tryptophan oxidation a 1 mg. vitamin B3 receives). At chronic PP deficiency develops pellagra disease. The pellagra manifestations are:
- disturbance in stomach and intestines
- disturbance in the nerve system
- skin changes
That is so called triple D – diarrhea, dermatitis, and dementia.
It is very important to know that, the antibaby pill prevents the Vitamin b3 niacin and leads to hypovitaminosis. The vitamin B3 taking is good for metabolite diseases by reducing the blood cholesterol.
Vitamin B2 Riboflavin
in Vitamins / Riboflavin, riboflavin facts, vitamin b2
Vitamin B2 Riboflavin (Lactoflavin)
Vitamin b2 riboflavin facts :
Vitamin B2 belongs to the group of flavins (natural pigments in vegetables, potatoes, milk, etc.) Naturally body fills its supplies with vitamin В2 mainly by the food, but also small quantity through specific useful bacteria which naturally live in small intestines. Vitamin B2 amounts decreases in thermally treated food with 15-30%, so eat more fresh provisions.
General descriptions:
The main riboflavin functions in the body are:
- general compound of the enzymes which accomplishes the cell breathing
- in the carbohydrate cycle
- in the amino acid metabolism
- in the fat body metabolism
- exchange of iron and porferin
In the case of riboflavin deficiency the following symptoms persist:
-steamy eyes, reddish eye mucosa
-changes in the mouth mucosa, tong and the mouth
-skin peeling
-changes in the nails and hair
-nerve system damages
The lactoflavin deficiency occurs when the consumption of milk, eggs, meat, cheese and yellow cheese are not enough. Vitamin B2 also founds in spinach, lentils, peas, carrots, etc. Riboflavin deficiency develops in people treated with antibiotics from the tetraciclyn , largactil and chlorasin groups.
The designation vitamin B6 comprises three similar substances- priridoxin, pirioxal and piridoxamin. They have different proportion in each food. Very reach at vitamin B6 are beans, bananas, walnuts, peanuts, and meat products. Less quantity of vitamin B6 founds in fish, but more in the fruits and vegetables. Small amount of the vitamin synthesizes by bacteria, which naturally lives in the stomach and small intestines. The bacteria activity often has been suppressed by antibiotics and easily rotting food.
Vitamin B6 benefits and functions in the body:
- as an enzyme structure element vitamin B6 participates in more over 60 substance exchange reactions. Also take part of activities which facilitate the formation and pull down the fence of amino acids (especially of tryptophane, metionin, cystein, glutamine, etc.).
- Participates in the fat metabolism process. Vitamin B6 makes easier the assimilation of unsaturated fat acids (upon its activity the cholesterol blood levels in people ill from atherosclerosis lessens).
- Vitamin B6 has significant role in the formation of substances responsible for neural impulses mediation – serotonin, noradrenalin, histamine, etc.
It has hypoglycemic activity (lessen the blood sugar levels), by insulin activation.
Usually, the hidden deficiency of vitamin B6 occurs in people regularly taking antibaby pill and preparation suppresses the gut micro flora, like izoniasid (prescript at tuberculosis), penicilamin (usually taken at liver and brain diseases). The extreme deficiency of the vitamin happens in people who suffer from chronic alcoholism.
At systematic vitamin B6 – piridoxin deficiency the following diseases are developed:
-mucus and skin changes (dermatitis, inflammations, parasitic fungi, herpes, etc.)
-anemia
-a cordially-vesicular disturbance
-central and peripheral nerve system damages (psychosis, neurosis, polyneuritis etc.)
Vitamin b5 – Pantotenic acid
Vitamin B5 is a structure part of the enzymes, which have important role in fat and carbohydrate metabolism. The vitamin B5 deficiency is rare meet and usually precedes of long term starving.
You can supply with those vitamin in sufficient doses by grain food consumption.
Description and sources
When folic acid enters the body it moves to liver where becomes biologically active. Vitamin B12 and vitamin C are co-operating the converting process. That is why the folic acid biological activity depends from the levels of the vitamin B12 and vitamin C in the body. Here are listed in a descending line some folacin sources: liver, parsley, spinach, green salad, mushrooms, peas, meat, fish, etc. Vitamin B9 is very sensitive to thermal treating and oxidizes very easy from the air oxygen.
General descriptions :
The folic acid participates in amino acid and nucleic acid metabolism. Besides has a big hematopoietic potential and assists the red blood maturation in the marrow. Folacin deficiency occurs with the megaloblastic anemia development (red blood cells deficiency). Folic acid luck develops also at alcoholism, because the alcohol suppresses the vitamin B9 activity. Frequently folacin deficiency occurs in pregnant women and in people which regularly takes drugs, such as antibaby pills. People with liver disease have raised folacin needs. At prolonged sun expose an extra dose of the vitamin B9 is needed, because the sun light destroys it.
Benefits of vitamin E
Vitamin E, together with vitamin A and vitamin C is very strong antioxidant. It is fat soluble vitamin and produces a substance, which eliminates the free radicals from the body. Vitamin E founds in a lot of food products, like vegetables, wheat germs, nuts and eggs. You can supply with vitamin E by preparations, too.
