Vitamin B-Complex
Vitamin B-complex is made up of eight B vitamins that play an important role in the maintenance of good health and well-being. Described as the building blocks of a healthy body, these vitamins have a direct impact on your energy levels, brain function, and cell metabolism. Vitamin B-complex helps prevent infections and support the healthy cells, energy levels, promote growth of red blood cells, good eye sight, healthy brain function, aids, proper digestion, proper nerve and cardiovascular function, muscle tone and healthy appetite.
Vitamin B-complex is essential for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers as it is important for fetal brain development, and reduces the risk of birth defects. Studies have shown that vitamin B-complex increases energy levels during pregnancy, lowers the risk of developing preeclampsia, as well as reduces nausea.
Vitamin B12
Permanent malabsorption of Vitamin B12 is often seen in patients who have a gastric bypass. Parental replacement therapy which bypasses the intestinal block, is required for the remainder of the patient’s life. If this treatment is interrupted, it will lead to relapse after one to five years.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C plays a crucial role in preventing chronic diseases. The WHO calls vitamin C one of “the most efficacious, safe, and cost effective medicine for priority conditions.” Vitamin C works to neutralize the effects of toxins. Toxins produce free radicals that damage DNA and body tissues and also cause a depletion of depleting vitamin C in our bodies. Depleting of vitamin C, can cause severe health issues, and the patient dies of vitamin C deficiency as well.
An important role of Vitamin C is to interact with toxins to render them harmless and also helps repair damage done by toxins. Vitamin C plays an important role in the treatment of virtually any toxic problem, including snakebite, spider bite, carbon monoxide poisoning, pesticide exposure, or heavy metal poisoning. Vitamin C may be the most important molecule we can put into our bodies to stay well, and maintain optimal health. Vitamin C is so basic to human biochemistry that obtaining adequate amounts of vitamin C should be the foundation of any wellness strategy. The benefits of vitamin C may include:
Vitamin D
“Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun”(Ecclesiastes 11:7)
Vitamin D is a very important nutrient that is sometimes referred to as a hormone. It is essential to the support of strong bones, teeth, and immune health. The body can make vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. However, most people are lacking in this important vitamin. Approximately 95% of Americans do not get enough Vitamin D from their diet alone. It is also very important for people during the winter, and for those who spend most of their day indoors. Vitamin D contributes to the following:
Improves sleep Decreases cholesterol levels Decreases blood sugar levels Helps lower high blood pressure Decreases depression Helps with blood clots Elevates mood levels Improves digestion Helps with circulation Helps the liver to detoxify Helps in the fight of cancer Gives strength to the weak Improves memory Improves eyesight Helps in detoxification Reduces stress Improves lung problems like Asthma, Pneumonia, Bronchitis, etc. Helps with colds and flu Helps in the removal of plaque from the arteries Gives tone to the skin Helps prevent skin cancer and other types of cancer Helps with over 2000+ hormonal functions in the body Helps improve thyroid function Helps to strengthen the Immune system Helps with bones Helps with the reduction of pain AND SO MANY OTHER THINGS
Vitamin E
“In recent years, new findings on vitamin E have been so extensive; it might be mistaken for a miracle drug. Vitamin E has been proven to be one of our most powerful biological antioxidants.” A growing number of scientific evidence is proving the lifetime need for protecting our cells against damage by free-radical oxidation. Vitamin E gives such protection by slowing down the aging process. Vitamin E protects us from aging and chronic diseases, including heart disease, which is caused from oxidative damage. The oxidizing environment in which we live is putting extraordinary demands on our antioxidant defense systems. With this high demand, it is difficult to obtain sufficient vitamin E from our nutritionally-deficient modern diet. That is why supplementing is a must for most people.
The two principal roles of vitamin E are as an antithrombin, to prevent blood clots inside blood vessels, and as an antioxidant, quenching free radicals. There is now extensive evidence linking free radical damage to the development of degenerative diseases. Free radicals are very reactive entities that are produced by normal bodily processes, as well as from environmental pollutants such as smog, pesticides, and cigarette smoke. The body uses a complex antioxidant defense system to protect itself from the oxidative damage of free radical. This system includes vitamins E, A, and C, carotenoids, bioflavonoids, glutathione peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, alpha-lipoic acid, and proanthocyanidins.
Research has found that vitamin E seems “to protect against all kinds of degenerative diseases including cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cataracts, and aging.” Some researchers say it is the most important vitamin of all. Antioxidants, if not destroyed by free radicals, can react with the fatty acids in our cell membranes leading to lipid peroxidation. When this oxidation starts, it can begin a chain reaction that will destroy the structure and function of the cell causing disease. Vitamin E is an important antioxidant because it is fat soluble, so it to sit right in the cell membrane, next to the unsaturated fatty acids, and to protect them from damage. Vitamin E is fundamental to protecting us from free radical damage, especially to the fatty molecules in our cell membranes.
Glutathione
Glutathione is often called the “master antioxidant” because it serves as the main antioxidant protectant of the whole body, and the most common antioxidant in the brain. In fact without sufficient glutathione, people are more prone to significant neurological damage. Studies have suggested that lower levels of glutathione can actually be what causes certain neurologic disease to start. Glutathione is a powerful detoxifier, and enhancer of the immune system. Glutathione is made in the body, but less is produced as you get older. By the time you turn 40, your body is making 30% less, and by age 65, the body makes half as much of this powerful substance as it used to make.
Amino Acids
The body requires amino acids for the synthesis of protein and other important nitrogen-containing compounds, including creatine, peptide hormones, and some neurotransmitters. There are nine amino acids that are considered essential in the body. They are histidine, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, methionine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and valine–these amino acids are not synthesized by the body. It is therefore important that these essential nutrients be supplied to the body through food or parenteral nutrition. These are commonly called the essential amino acids.
