B vitamins: Unleash the Beast part2
This 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.
