Vitamins  A DIVERSE GROUP OF ORGANIC MOLECULES THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR METABOLIC REACTIONS AND ARE GENERALLY UNABLE TO BE PRODUCED BY THE

Various substances found in plants and animals that are required for life-sustaining processes. Complex substances that are necessary in small amounts to maintain health and ensure proper development and functioning of the body

A diverse class of at least 13 known organic compounds that are involved in almost every metabolic process in the human body. Vitamins do not provide energy (calories) directly, but they do help regulate energy-producing processes. With the exception of vitamin D and K, vitamins cannot be synthesized by the human body and must be obtained from the diet.

TYPES of Vitamins

VITAMIN A: Helps maintain smooth, soft disease-free skin; helps protect the mucous membranes of the mouth, nose, throat lungs, which helps reduce our susceptibility to infections; protects against air pollutants and contaminants; helps improve eye sight and counteracts night-blindness; aids in bone and teeth formation; improves skin elasticity, moisture content and suppleness; and helps reverse the signs of photo-aging. A lack of vitamin A can cause skin to become dry and hardened, anti-oxidant, fat-soluble, anti-cancer properties.

VITAMIN B water soluble vitamins ( means that  they are broken down with liquids )

Choline: Choline is an unofficial B vitamin that the body can manufacture from lecithin, a structural component of cell walls. It is a precursor for acetylcholine, which functions as a neurotransmitter that is essential for brain function Choline's main function is to maintain cell membrane integrity. You need it to metabolize fat and keep the liver functioning smoothly. There is some evidence to suggest it may prevent or reduce symptoms of some nervous system diseases including Alzheimer's and Huntington's.
 

Inositol: is the common name of myoinositol, the only form of inositol utilized by the body as a nutrient. Inositol is involved in the glucuronic acid and pentose phosphate pathways that are responsible for products such as glucose, glucuronolactone and water. A common biologically active form of inositol is phoshatidylinositol, a phosphatide found in cell membranes. Inositol, an essential component of the phospholipids that make up cellular membranes, is found in virtually every cell in the body. Recent research indicates that inositol helps establish healthy cell membranes, which facilitate nerve impulses Food sources of inositol are found in plants, as phytic acid, and meats.

Biotin..... Biotin, otherwise known as vitamin B7 or vitamin H, is an unofficial member of the B family. It is found in trace amounts in all living tissue, both animal and plant. However, it is also manufactured by friendly bacteria in the intestine, so this is one of the few vitamins that does not necessarily need to be consumed.

B12- Cyancobalamin- Methlycobalamin: B12 is also important in maintaining the nervous system. Nerves are surrounded by an insulating fatty sheath comprised of a complex protein called myelin. B12 plays a vital role in the metabolism of fatty acids essential for the maintainence of myelin. Vitamin B12's primary functions are in the formation of red blood cells and the maintenence of a healthy nervous system. B12 is necessary for the rapid synthesis of DNA during cell division. When combined with Folic acid and B6 it reduces homcysteine into L-cycsteine reducing and minimzing heart failure.

B-3 -NIACIN- NIACINAMIDE- INOSITOL HEXONIACIN ...

B3, or Niacin, is a water soluble vitamin that is naturally occurring in plant tissues. Good sources of Niacin include nuts, legumes, leafy green vegetables, wholegrain breads and cereals. Vitamin B3 supplementation has been shown to provide positive support for:

Emotional stress

Elevated cortisol levels

Transport molecules that cross the blood-brain barrier------Niacin is an essential vitamin that the body is unable to produce on its own. Therefore, it must be replenished everyday through the diet. A Niacin deficiency may result in irritability, loss of appetite, weakness, mental confusion and dizziness.

B-1 THIAMIN

B1... or Thiamine, is a water soluble vitamin that is needed in relatively small amounts and is usually available in such foods as fortified breads, cereals, pasta, whole grains, lean meats, fish, dried beans, peas, and soybeans.

Vitamin B1 supplementation has been shown to provide positive support for:

Fatigue

Mild mood changes

Lack of focus or mental clarity
