Vitamin B is actually a group of eight distinct vitamins, B1 – thiamine B2 – riboflavin, B3 – niacin, B5 – pantothenic acid, B6 – pyridoxine, B7 – Biotin, B9 – folic acid, B12 – cyanocobalamin, known collectively as Vitamin B complex Vitamin B is water soluble, which explains all versions of effervescent supplements of vitamin B.

The B vitamins work in sync to support the health of many body systems. The B complex improves immune function, promotes the proper functioning of the nervous system, maintains the metabolic rate, increases mitosis and meiosis, and helps in the prevention of depression and cardiovascular diseases.

Thiamine is essential for the proper functioning of the brain, in particular the concentration, attention, emotion and well being. Vitamin B1 deficiency results in fatigue, psychosis, muscle weakness, numbness of limbs, lack of physical coordination, nerve damage, brain damage and even death. Thiamine is found in its greatest concentration in enriched flour, cereals, and wheat germ.

Riboflavin is important for the production of red blood cells, to control the growth and production of antibodies, and the use of oxygen by the body. Vitamin B2 also helps the absorption of fat and its excretion in healthy skin, nails and hair, and maintaining good vision. Riboflavin is found more commonly in dairy products like milk and cheese.

Niacin is very important for the proper functioning of the digestive system, for the appetite, and for healthy skin and nerves. Studies also suggest that increased doses of vitamin B3 lowers LDL cholesterol, the bad cholesterol, increases HDL cholesterol, the good cholesterol, and prevents hardening of the arteries. Sources of niacin are meat, fish, poultry, peanuts, milk and eggs.

The principal amount of pantothenic acid is its role in the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to produce energy. It was also linked to an effective treatment of nerve damage, skin problems and respiratory problems. This member of the B complex is found in peas, beans, whole grains, fish and lean meat.

Vitamin B6 is crucial for the breakdown of proteins, and the effective use of the resulting amino acid, pyridoxine also assists in maintaining normal levels of blood sugar. Moreover, in conditions of shortage of calories, facilitates the obtaining of energy from carbohydrates.

Biotin helps the brain function and helps the functioning of the body in converting proteins into energy. The research also shows that it works together with vitamins B6, B9 and B12 to help reduce levels of homocysteine in the blood and thus the risk of heart attack. Biotin is present in poultry, fish, whole grains, oats, soybeans and bananas.

Folic acid or B9 is important for the production and maintenance of new cells, it is essential, in particular, both during pregnancy and infancy when cell growth is extremely rapid. Green leafy vegetables, mushrooms, liver and dried beans and peas are excellent sources of Vitamin B9.

Vitamins B12 and B9 are working together to produce healthy red blood cells. Cyanocobalamin also aids in the health of the central nervous system. There is only one source of vitamin B12, animal products, whether fish, poultry, milk or eggs.

Vitamin B deficiency leads to many health risks. However, a healthy and balanced diet is the key to an adequate intake of all members of the complex of B vitamins The use of dietary supplements of vitamin B is not necessary because an adequate amount of this vitamin is produced naturally by taking daily food.

It is through food consumption, and then we can intervene before they turn to drugs and foreign intervention, which can support the action but not always, unfortunately, resolve it. Introducing the diet foods rich in vitamin A but a small step forward may be decisive in solving the problem.

Vitamin A is found not only in fruits and vegetables like carrots and fruits orange coloration but also in products of animal origin such as liver, eggs, milk and derivatives. If healthy skin also goes by vitamin A acne sufferers a fortiori can not overlook this detail.

Supplements or nutritional supplements for sports are many, some are only composed of minerals, vitamins or other only by amino acids (proteins): energy drinks, herbal extracts, etc… If these products are used under the supervision of a nutritionist or sports physician, usually there are no problems, but generally those who do sports or physical activity independently, blindly assume supplements without knowing which ones are useful and what are harmful, and in uncontrolled doses, which can then more harm than good health.

It’s common desire for professional sports or amateur sports, want to increase muscle mass with minimal effort, and perhaps many people think that taking supplements of protein for a month will get a body similar to those of bodybuilders you see in magazines fitness .

But the reality is different.
Advertising very misleading, especially in the world of sports supplements, for which there is a serious and scientist literature available about it. On the contrary can be easily found in magazines and newspaper advertisements and fitness articles without any scientific basis, which causes widespread misinformation on the subject.

Many gyms and sports centers, welfare or sell products without neither permission nor health checks, usually of foreign origin, used without medical supervision. Many of these products cause irreversible damage to health, because nutrition labels are not declared the real components of the product, thus putting at risk the health of people who use them in other situations, the problem was not whether the product, but the massive doses taken with the idea that “the more you take, the more work” theory totally wrong. Another frequent error is to replace a meal with a glass or a bar of extra energy or integrator.

Energy products are used to give more strength and energy in a short period of time. Also help improve the metabolism of the mechanisms involved in the production of ATP, which is the energy of the cells. L ‘use of these products is totally legal, even if certain sports regulations prohibit the use of some products because of begging help athletes who use them, to the detriment of others, undermining the very concept of competition.
Those most at risk are adolescents and enthusiasts from the fitness world, because they have an interest in obtaining a more muscular body and with minimal effort, a little ‘as the magic potions that give immediate effects. In many cases, these situations are driven by instructors from gyms, for a pure commercial purpose. Moreover, many of these sports products have high prices: the risk of spending a lot then disappointed to stay or, at worst, get some health problem.
In the case of professional sports is evaluated case by case basis to determine if the athlete really needs an extra energy, but always under the control of a sports doctor or nutritionist specializing in sports.
In fact, exercisers only as a hobby or to keep in shape, has no need nor supplements energy drinks: just a balanced diet, adequate and controlled by a nutritionist. Just then remember that the consumption of these products does not increase significantly the yield, but only put at risk the health if not checked.

According to studies credited the extra virgin olive oil has the following therapeutic effects:
• reduces LDL cholesterol;
• decreases blood glucose;
• increases the fraction of HDL cholesterol;
• has an antioxidant;
• prevents cardiovascular disease;
• protects against some cancers;
• limits the effects of cellular aging.
The beneficial properties of olive oil are derived primarily from the composition of triglycerides and polyphones it contains. In fact, it contains the highest amount of monounsaturated fat than any other animal or vegetable fat.

We can find in some foods and is activated during exposure to sunlight and ultra violet rays of sun lamps.
Vitamin D has always been known for her role in prevention of rickets has been in more recent even a panacea against heart disease, osteoporosis and colon cancer and, among other positive effects of contributing to a significant Improvement of the problems linked to menopause. Researchers from Creighton University in the United States have shown that a group of women in Nebraska for only 4 years taking 1100 IU of vitamin D decreased the risk of any cancer by 70%. Another study, conducted by researchers at Auckland University in New Zealand, it is revealed that there is a strong correlation between levels of vitamin D in the blood and better lung health even in people with smoking.
Good news for health because of its widespread action in the body, symptoms of vitamin D deficiency are varied and are often attributed to other factors, misleading the diagnosis. The main symptoms are: muscle weakness, irritability, mouth and throat, intestinal disorders, insomnia, myopia, Periodontopathy of various kinds, mood swings, and abdominal pain.
Unfortunately it’s not easy to take vitamin D in the quantities required by the daily requirement, because the dishes are very rich are few and often lack the necessary importance in the diet every day. These liver, cod liver oil (fish oil in general) some fish, including herring, salmon, sardines, and then eggs, butter, milk.
Is convenient but count on the sun. Just think that during the summer, exposure to sunlight just 12 minutes enabling the body to produce naturally and without any harm to the body 2000 IU of vitamin D, refuting false beliefs and entrenched, which unfortunately led more harm than good.
A recent research by Dr. Oliver Gillie the Health Research Forum in London, is attracting the attention of the scientific community and the media generated issues and give the Scots the deficiency of vitamin D. In this study highlighted how the anti-sun implementation so far instead of reducing the occurrence of cancer in the population has helped increase all diseases related to vitamin D deficiency, including just a few types of cancer.

Do not think that a product that already satisfy all the needs of your body. Leslie Beck, author of an encyclopedia on feeding, a complex of multiple vitamins and minerals may be all you need it, but many people have specific needs. It is best to consult a dietitian or a physician specializing in nutrition, to personally examine you and design a supplementation program based on your age, gender and lifestyle. Meanwhile, here are some points to consider.

multivitamin

1. Covers all ages
Choose a complex of vitamins and minerals from broad spectrum to provide 100% RDA (Recommended Daily Allowance). The most complete formulas containing up to 29 essential vitamins and minerals. Avoid large doses of any nutrient, unless your doctor prescribed you or your dietitian.

2. Choose a supplement to compensate for all needs
Age, sex and medical history are important factors to consider. But you to go only by what the label says. Compare vitamin and mineral supplement that provides you with your needs. Do not be fooled by preparations that promise to impact not supported by proven results.

3. Ignore the extras
In some cases, there is no evidence to prove that the prepared ingredients offer extra benefits. Focus on the recommendations of the specialist.

4. Choose a charge easier to swallow
Calcium supplements, for example, can be difficult to take. Some supplements have a coating that facilitates digestion.

5. Check the expiry date of the pack
Over time, some vitamins lose effectiveness.
