Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid in its metabolically active form, is one of the safest and most effective nutrients. Vitamins C is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues and it is involved in many body functions, including formation of collagen, absorption of iron, the immune system, wound healing, and the maintenance of cartilage, bones, and teeth.

Vitamin C is also probably best known as a super-antioxidant. Antioxidants are molecules that help keep chemical reactions in our body in check. In particular, antioxidants help prevent the formation and activity of free radical molecules, which can do damage to our cells and tissue and contribute to the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease and arthritis. The build up of free radical with time is also largely responsible for the ageing process.

There are eight B vitamins — B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12 which all play an important role in keeping our bodies running like well-oiled machines. All B vitamins help the body to convert food (carbohydrates) into fuel (glucose), which is “burned” to produce energy. These B vitamins, often referred to as B complex vitamins, also help the body metabolize fats and protein. B complex vitamins are necessary for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. They also help the nervous system function properly.

While many of the following vitamins work in tandem, each has its own specific benefits — from promoting healthy skin and hair to preventing memory loss or migraines.

Like other B vitamins, Vitamin B5 helps the body extract energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It is also responsible for the production of sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands, which is why it is often referred to as the “anti-stress” vitamin, as it appears to affect all organs’ ability to handle stressors, both emotional and physical.

Vitamin B5 is also important in maintaining a healthy digestive tract and maintaining good health. Research suggests that Vitamins B5 may also be useful in treating rheumatoid arthritis and lowering blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.

Like other B vitamins, Vitamin B6 helps the body extract energy from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. Vitamin B6 is also a major player in mood and sleep patterns because it helps the body produce neurotransmitters such as serotonin for for maintaining mood balance, melatonin to regulate the body clock and noradrenaline, a stress hormone.

Vitamins B6, along with vitamins B12 and B9 (folic acid) helps control blood levels of homocysteine – an amino acid that may be associated with heart disease and you body needs B6 in order to absorb vitamin B12 and to make red blood cells and cells of the immune system.

GLUTATHIONE is the most important molecule you need to stay healthy and prevent ageing – it is the mother of all antioxidants.

The good news is that your body produces its own glutathione. The bad news is that poor diet, pollution, toxins, medications, stress, ageing, and radiation all deplete your glutathione.

Glutathione benefits are far ranging for the human body and can include:

• improved energy
• improved recovery from physical activity
• imporved skin conditioning including whitening and flawless skin
• support for the immune system
• cellular detoxification
• disease protection
• liver support
• circulatory support
• digestive support
• respiratory support
• brain support

This leaves you susceptible to unrestrained cell disintegration from oxidative stress, free radicals, infections and cancer. And your liver gets overloaded and damaged, making it unable to do its job of detoxification.

Glutathione

Selenium is an essential mineral and micronutrient. Selenium is incorporated into proteins to make selenoproteins, which are important constituents of a number of enzymes with a range of functions including antioxidant function, thyroid hormone metabolism, male fertility and immune mechanisms.

Selenium is fundamental to human health however a decline in blood selenium levels in the UK and other European countries has raised concern about possible public health implications, particularly in relation to the incidence of some diseases, including some cancers and cardiovascular disease.

Zinc is an essential trace mineral. Every cell in the body needs this nutrient and hundreds of body processes rely on it, from the immune system to the regulation of blood sugar and it even helps your body read genetic information.

Although the body does not produce zinc on its own, this mineral is available in drinking water and foods. Even so, many people fail to get enough of this mineral from their diet, and this is particularly true for elderly individuals and vegetarians.

There’s now evidence that supplements may also be useful in providing the extra zinc needed to fight cold and flu symptoms. In addition, zinc has shown promise for speeding the healing of sore throats, promoting recovery from skin injuries, reducing tinnitus (ringing in the ears), and controlling acne and eye problems.
