Vitamins
Vitamins are vital for human life because they play integral roles in hundreds
of life-sustaining biochemical reactions. Vitamins are the catalysts for all
reactions using proteins, fats and carbohydrates for energy, growth and cell
maintenance. Certain nutrients are required in excess of the typical amounts
supplied in the diet depending on specific nutritional needs. Consuming dietary
vitamin and mineral supplements may help play an important role in maintaining
good health. For the most part, vitamins cannot be produced in the body and must
be supplied through the diet or vitamin and mineral supplements.
Vitamin C / Bioflavonoids
Vitamin C is also known as ascorbic acid and is a water-soluble, antioxidant
vitamin that plays a role in more than 300 bodily functions. It is essential to
help support health and wellness and requires daily replenishment.
Unfortunately, human beings - unlike most other animals - cannot manufacture
vitamin C. Nor can they store vitamin C to any appreciable amount. Instead, the
kidneys, acting as regulators, excrete vitamin C causing the need for regular
replenishment. In addition, vitamin C is destroyed during food preparation.
Vitamin C's primary function is to help maintain collagen, a protein necessary
for forming skin, ligaments, bones and teeth and for helping to maintain the
strength of blood vessel walls. High levels of vitamin C are also essential for
the metabolism of white blood cells, which are critical components of the immune
system. In addition, vitamin C plays an important role in the absorption of
iron, which is necessary for the formation of red blood cells and in the
utilisation of folic acid, one of the B-complex vitamins.
Bioflavonoids work together with vitamin C to build strong capillaries and serve
as antioxidants and as anti-inflammatory agents.
Minerals
Minerals are the inorganic elements which comprise part of the body. They
contribute from 60% to 80% of all the inorganic material in the human body. The
trace elements make up the remainder. Minerals and trace elements serve as vital
catalysts for the biological reactions that take place within the body. They are
found, for example, in bones, teeth and soft tissues. They are needed for the
production of blood, hormones and enzymes, thus serving a life sustaining
function.
The absorption of minerals and trace elements (excluding
electrolytes) is generally less efficient than that of other nutrients. The term
“bioavailability” refers to the degree to which a particular nutrient is
available for use in the body. There are many factors which influence
bioavailability including the compound form of the mineral or trace element.
Zinc is
an essential trace mineral, important to help support the immune system. It
is also a component of insulin, body fluids, and many enzyme systems.
