Why we should take vitamin.........



What is Free Radical?
Antioxidant Potency Protection,

As the isolated minerals found in typical multivitamins are digested, they may drastically accelerate the amount of free radicals present. The antioxidants in your multivitamin (like Vitamins A, C, and E) are then forced to neutralise the free radicals. As a result, they may be "used up" in the digestive tract and have much less antioxidant power by the time they are ready to be absorbed. We can help change by guard the minerals, limiting their ability to generate free radicals in our body. As a result, antioxidants may be protected from premature oxidation and are preserved in the intestines so they can be absorbed into the bloodstream for their true value inside the body.

Let see ....to get the same amount in food, you would have to eat and for What vitamine is for what?

Betacarotene(Vitamin A)
You have to eat,
half a cup sweet potatoes or
1 corrot or
28 grams fortified conflakes
plus 1 cup milk plus 1 cup raw spinach.
Vitamin A,important for good vision, especially at night. May help immunity and the maintenance of cells of the skin gastrointestinal tract, and other mucus membranes.

Biotin(Vitamin H)
Combination of healthy food. Important benefits, contributes to energy production and metabolism of proteins, fats and carbohydrates.

Pyridoxine Gydrochloride (Vitamin B6)
1 Chicken breast,
1/2 cup cooked spinach,
1 cup brown rice or
1 baked potato with skin and
1 banana plus 113grams lean sirloin.
Vitamin B6, Helps the body make red blood cells convertstryptophan to niacin, and contributes to immunity and vervous system function. Used in metabolism of proteins and fats.

Folic Acid (Folate)
Six asparagus spears,
1 cup orange juce from concentrate,
1/2 cup cup lentils,
2 slices whole wheat bread.
Critical for all cell functions, since folate helps make DNA and RNA.
Helps promote and support heart health. Women who consume healthful diets with adeqequate folate amy reduce their risk of having child with birth defects of the brain or spinal cord.

Cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12)
1 chicken breast,
1 hard-boiled egg,
1 cup plain low fat yoghurt or
1 cup milk and 1 cup raisin bran.
Important for proper nerve fuction. Works with folate, converting it to an active from. Help make red blood cells, and helps the body absorb iron from foods.

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C)
1 cup of grapefruit juice or
1 kiwi fruit or
1 cup chopped broccoli or
1 baked potato with skin and
1 cup tomoto juice.
Important for immune funciton. Acts as an antioxidant to keep the body healthy. Stregthens blood vessels and capillary walls, makes collagen and connective tissue that hold muscles and bones together, helps keep guns healthy, and helps the body absorb iron from foods.

I could go on but I will not and how much can we eat in a day,
what about other vitamins like,

Cholecalciferol(Vitamin D3 IU),calcium and phosphorus,

Ascorbic acid (Vitamin C),strengthens blood vessels and capillary walls,tissue, muscles, bones,

d-alpha Tocopheryl acid succinate (Vitamin E IU),hearthy heart,

Phytomenadione (Vitamin K1),healthy blood function,

Nicotinamide (Vitamin B3),energy production,

Pantothenic acid (Vitamin B5 as calcium pantothenate),skin, digestive tract, nervous system,

Riboflavin (Vitamin B2),energy production

Boron (from borax),

Calcium (from calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, calcium gloconate, calcium amonino acid chelate),

Chromium (from cupric sulfate pentahydrate),insulin,

Copper (from cupric sulfate pentahydrate),blood cells, obsorption of iron,

Iodine (from potassium iodide),growth,metabolism,

Iron (from iron amino acid chelate)red blood cell,

Magnesium (from magnesium oxide (heavy, magnesium oxide, magnesium amino acide chelate, magnessium citrate)body,bones,teeth,nerves,muscles,

Manganese (as manganese amino acid chelate)iron metabolism, part of body enzymes,

Monlybdenum(from manganese amino acid chelate),form bones and teeth,

Selenium (from selenomethionine)to protect cell from damage,

Zinc (from Zince amino acid chelate), helps with tissue growth,

Love to hear about what you think?
