Vitamins / Supplements
Vitamins
Any group of organic compounds which are essential for normal growth and nutrition. Vitamins help the body to utilize energy provided by food and are necessary to perform a particular metabolic function or to prevent any associated deficiency disease.
Vitamin A
A fat-soluble vitamin that requires fats and other minerals to be properly absorbed by your digestive tract. It can be stored in your body and need not be placed every day. It is found in 2 forms, retinol, and carotene.
Vitamin A can counteract night blindness, weak eyesight, and aid in the treatment of many eye disorders. It helps build resistance against respiratory infections, aids in helping the immune system function properly, shortens the duration of diseases, and helps keep the outer layers of organs and tissues healthy.
When applied topically, it can help with acne, superficial wrinkles, impetigo, boils, and open ulcers.
B1 (Thiamine)
A water soluble vitamin that must be replaced daily, since any excess is excreted. Thiamine also has a mild diuretic effect, and is known as the "Morale Vitamin," due to its beneficial effects on the nervous system and mental attitude.
Promotes growth, aids in digestion, (especially carbohydrates), improves mental attitude, and can help relieve dental post-operative pain. It also keeps your nervous system, muscles, and heart functioning normally.
Known to get car, sea, or air sick? Thiamine helps prevent these, therefore, add thiamine to your regimen before any long trip or cruise vacation!
B Complex
B complex is a combo of your B vitamins, including B1 (thiamine) through B6 (Pyridoxine). The B vitamins work better together, making a complex ideal for supplementation.
Each of the vitamins in b complex do something different, (see below for specifics). However, they all work to prevent disease, prevent anemia, have been linked to prevention of certain cancers, as well as help the body produce healthy new skin cells.
The B vitamins' main work is to turn food into energy, especially in the breakdown in proteins and carbohydrates. This means, your b vitamins will help if you are on a weight loss journey!
