Vitamins are compounds the body needs for proper function and growth. They are either fat soluble (Vitamins A, D, E and K) or water soluble (Vitamins B and C). The amount of each vitamin an average person needs each day is called the recommended daily allowance (RDA). Listed below are some of the major roles of vitamins in the body:
B-Vitamins - The B vitamins are a family of nutrients that include B1 (thiamin), B2 (riboflavin), B6 (pyridoxine), B12 (cobalamin), biotin, folic acid (folate), niacin and pantothenic acid. Essential for cellular energy, manufacture of hormones and proteins, and nerve structures
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): conversion of carbohydrates into energy
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): growth and repair of skin and tissues lining the intestinal tract
Vitamin B6: energy and nerve function
Vitamin B12: necessary for manufacture of blood cells and nerve sheaths
Biotin: energy release from carbohydrates and production of fatty acids
Choline: essential precursor to acetylcholine; production of HDL (good) cholesterol
Folic Acid: essential for proper fat metabolism and tissue growth/repair; adequate intake is recommended before and during pregnancy
Inositol: precursor of phospholipids, a major component of cellular membranes
Niacin (B3): normal breakdown of fats and fatty acids
Niacinamide: The non-flushing form of niacin; energy release from carbohydrates
