Vitamins
// Welcome! In this thread i will explain what does each vitamin do for the human body //
YELLOW = Fat Soluable
BLUE = Water Soluable
| A (retinol) | Essential vitamin, supports vision (retinal), reproduction, immunity, growth, and cell differentiation. |
| A (Beta-Carotene) | Provitamin of retinol, non-essential. Conversion to retinol is about 1:12, but up to 45% of people have reduced BCMO1 enzyme activity and can convert 32–69% less, and some cannot convert at all. |
| | |
| B1 | Supports the nervous system, muscle and heart function, helps cells grow and function, and its most important use is converting carbohydrates into energy. |
| B2 | Supports vision, skin, and mucous membranes, growth and tissue repair, and is part of coenzymes (its most important function) that convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. |
| B3 | Energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, cell repair, healthy digestion, skin and nervous system. Lowers LDL, raises HDL, and reduces triglycerides. |
| B5 | Food for energy, growth and cell repair, supports the body’s production of hormones (steroids, cortisol, adrenaline) and fats (cholesterol). |
| B6 | Proteins for energy, production of neurotransmitters (melatonin, serotonin, dopamine), hemoglobin (blood), immunity (antibody production), and hormone regulation (estrogen and progesterone balance). |
| B7 | Food for energy, healthy skin, hair and nails, cell function, and regulation of glucose and fats. |
| B9 | Blood formation, RNA and DNA synthesis, amino acid metabolism. |
| B12 | Supports heart and vessels, DNA synthesis, proper nerve function, red blood cell production (key for the brain). |
| | |
| C (Natural) | Supports iron absorption, collagen production, faster regeneration, white blood cells. |
| C (Ascorbic acid) | Pure chemical form, poorer absorption. |
| | |
| D2 | Less effective alternative to D3, present in plants. |
| D3 | Calcium and phosphorus absorption, defense against infections, muscle function, and hormone regulation. |
| | |
| E | Antioxidant cell protection (mainly against oxidative stress). |
| | |
| K1 | In plants, simple K2 but weaker. Conversion from K1 to K2 is insufficient. Regulates blood clotting. |
| K2 | Activates proteins that bind calcium into bones, prevents calcium from depositing in vessel walls, supports healthy vessels, and complements K1. |
| Omega-6 (LA) | Formation of cell membranes, cell growth and regeneration, influence on clotting, blood pressure, and inflammation. Excess Omega-6 and imbalance between Omega-6 and Omega-3 oxidizes LDL, increases cardiovascular risk, and weakens anti-inflammatory effects. |
| Omega-3 (ALA) | Precursor of EPA and DHA, non-essential. Conversion to EPA = <8% and to DHA = <4%. |
| Omega-3 (EPA) | Reduces inflammation in the body, lowers triglycerides, improves lipid profile, regulates inflammatory signals, and supports nervous functions. |
| Omega-3 (DHA) | DHA is stronger for the brain than EPA, supports healthy vision, improves heart rhythm and lipid profile, and slightly reduces inflammation in the body. |
If this helped you, bump this up and rep it. Thanks
