Vitamin
A - Beta Carotene
Vitamin
A aids in the growth and repair of body tissues, which helps
maintain smooth, soft, disease-free skin. Internally, it helps
protect the mucous membranes of the nose, sinuses, lungs, eyelids,
mouth, throat, stomach, intestines (digestive tract), vagina
and uterus, thereby reducing susceptibility to infection. This
protection also aids the mucous membranes in combating the effects
of invasive micro organisms and other harmful particles, including
air pollutants. The soft tissues of the kidneys and bladder
are also protected. Vitamin A also prompts the secretion of
gastric juices necessary for proper digestion of proteins. Other
important functions of Vitamin A include the building of strong
bones and teeth, the formation of rich blood, reproduction,
cell membrane stability and development, immunity and the maintenance
of good eyesight. Research shows that beta-carotene helps defend
the body against some types of cancer.
Vitamin
B Complex
The eight
B Vitamins function in many different ways to help enzymes carry
out thousands of molecular conversions in the body and are therefore
know as coenzymes. All B Vitamins are water-soluble substances
that can be cultivated from bacteria, yeasts, fungi or molds.
The known B-Complex Vitamins are B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin),
B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine, pyridoxal,
pyridoxmine), B12 (cobalamin), biotin and folic acid (folate,
folacin, pteroylglutamin). The grouping of these compounds,
under the term B complex is based upon their common source distribution,
their close relationship invegetables and animal tissues and
their functional relationships. The B-Complex Vitamins provide
the body with energy by aiding in the conversion of carbohydrates
to glucose, which the body “burns” toproduce energy. They are
also vital in the metabolism of fats and protein. In addition,
the B Vitamins are necessary for normalfunctioning of the nervous
system and may be its single most important factor for maintenance
of the nerves. B Vitamins are essential for maintenance of muscle
tone in the gastrointestinal tract and for the health of skin,
hair, eyes, mouth and liver.
Vitamin
C Complex
A primary
function of Vitamin C is maintaining collagen, a protein necessary
for the formation of connective tissue in skin, ligaments and
bones. Vitamin C plays a role in healing wounds and burns because
it facilitates the formation of connective tissue in the scar.
Cells in the arterial walls need collagen to help them expand
and contract with the beats of the heart; it is also needed
in the capillaries, which are more fragile. Another major role
of Vitamin C is as an antioxidant. Vitamin C also aids in forming
red blood cells and preventing hemorrhaging. It has been found
that Vitamin C acts as an antihistamine and may be used to reduce
the use of the drug form.
Vitamin
D
Vitamin
D can be acquired either by ingestion or by exposure to sunlight.
The previtamin form is known as the “sunshine” vitamin. The
provitamin form is found in plant and animal tissue. A unique
aspect of Vitamin D is that it functions very much like a hormone
and has been referred to as one, as it targets organs like the
kidneys and intestines. Other target tissues are the brain,
pancreas, skin, bones, reproductive organs and some cancer cells.
Vitamin
E
Vitamin
E is composed of a group of compound called tocopherols. Seven
forms of tocopherol exists in nature including alpha, beta,
delta, epsilon, eta, gamma and zeta. Vitamin E is necessary
for all forms of oxygen-consuming life forms. It is also an
antioxidant, which means it opposes oxidation of substances
in the body. The B and C complex are also protected against
oxidation when Vitamin E is present in the digestive tract.
It has the ability to unite with oxygen and prevent it from
being converted into toxic peroxides. This leaves the red blood
cells fully supplied with the pure oxygen that the blood carries
to the heart and other organs. Vitamin E is not only an antioxidant,
it plays an essential role in cellular respiration of all muscles,
especially cardiac and skeletal. Vitamin E makes it possible
for these muscles and their nerves to function with less oxygen,
thereby increasing their endurance and stamina. It also cases
dilation of the blood vessels, permitting a fuller flow of blood
to the heart. Vitamin E is a highly effective antithrombin in
the bloodstream, inhibiting coagulation of blood by preventing
clots from forming. Vitamin E stimulates urine excretion, which
helps heart patients whose body tissues contain an excessive
amount of tissue fluid (edema). As a diuretic, Vitamin E helps
lower elevated blood pressure. It protects against the damaging
effects of many environmental poisons in the air, water and
food, and it protects the lungs and other tissues from damage
by polluted air.
