Vitamin Descriptions

Vitamin B7, also called Biotin , is a water soluble vitamin and is one of the 8 B vitamins in the B-complex family. Vitamin B7 helps to maintain healthy skin, hair and nails and also plays a role in blood sugar balance. Biotin is needed to metabolize fats, carbohydrates and proteins. Biotin acts as a coenzyme and is involved in creating fatty acids (which is important for skin and hair health), and synthesizing the amino acids isoleucine and valine, which supports immune health, tissue repair and muscle growth.

  • Biotin, also known as vitamin b7
  • Most commonly used to improve quality of hair and nails
  • It can be found in certain foods that we consume such as eggs, bananas, or even in your glass of milk.
  • Biotin also plays a big role in converting the carbohydrates, fats and proteins that you consume into a source of energy!
  • Folic acid is another vitamin part of the b-complex family
  • Folic acid is a crucial nutrient in cell functioning and repairing
  • Many people commonly take folic acid for red blood cell formation, celiacs disease, and women who are pregnant.

Vitamin B-12 (cobalamin) plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function and the production of DNA, the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information. It also helps prevent megaloblastic anemia, a blood condition that makes people tired and weak.

  • Other wise known as (Cyanocobalamin & Methylcobalamin)
  • Vitamin B-12 plays an essential role in red blood cell formation, cell metabolism, nerve function and the production of DNA. (the molecules inside cells that carry genetic information.)
  • Commonly known uses for b12 are to help prevent and assist with anemia, a blood condition that makes people feel extremely fatigued.

Calcium is the fifth most abundant inorganic element in the human body. It is essential for the maintenance of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems, and for cell membrane and capillary permeability. Calcium’s role in building bones and supporting their health is well known, but it is also important for nerve conduction, blood coagulation, and electrical conduction in the muscular tissue of the heart.

  • Calcium is the fifth most abundant inorganic element in the human body.
  • It is essential for proper functioning of the nervous, muscular, and skeletal systems.
  • Calcium’s commonly known for building healthy bones and supporting ongoing bone health, but it is also important for nerve conduction, blood coagulation, and electrical conduction in the muscular tissue of the heart.

Magnesium, a divalent cation as well as the second most common intracellular cation in the body after potassium, helps the body process and absorb another essential mineral, calcium. Magnesium has also been shown to contribute to a healthy heart, normal blood pressure levels, and strong bones. It is a vasodilator for our migraine and gut inflammation clients by regulating the enzyme Na+/K+ ATPase which controls the intracellular as extracellular flow of sodium and potassium in living cells.

Methionine helps the liver process fats reducing fat build up in the liver which helps to ensure proper functioning of the liver. It is required for Glutathione synthesis and creatine synthesis which is a nutrient found primarily in muscle tissue. Methionine also reduces the level of histamine in the body which may be beneficial for anyone with chronic allergies or inflammatory conditions. It is also essential for the formation of healthy collagen used to form and maintain skin, hair, nails, connective tissue and cartilage. Methionine also functions to protect our neurological system.

Inositol functions to aid in the metabolism of fat, reduces cholesterol levels within the blood and helps to convert food into energy. Inositol helps neurons communicate better with the body’s nervous system and participates in the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that helps to control mood and appetite. Has been shown to help treat patients with depression, anxiety and OCD. It is now established as a significant mediator of calcium mobilization in the endoplasmic reticulum, the power house of our cells.

Choline is required for the transport and metabolism of fats and cholesterol in the body. It helps to prevent accumulation of fat in the liver. Choline serves as a precursor molecule for the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and has been linked to a decreased risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. It has been used to treat neurological diseases such as Huntington’s chorea, Tourette’s disease, cerebellar ataxia and certain types of seizures.

Vitamin C plays a role in controlling infections and healing wounds, and is a powerful antioxidant that can neutralize harmful free radicals. It is needed to make collagen, a fibrous protein in connective tissue that is weaved throughout various systems in the body: nervous, immune, bone, cartilage, blood, and others. The vitamin helps make several hormones and chemical messengers used in the brain and nerves.

 

Alpha lipoic acid (ALA, thioctic acid) is an endogenous, potent antioxidant that is purported to be useful in the treatment of cancer, active infections, COVID+, diabetes mellitus, diabetic neuropathy, dementia secondary to Alzheimer’s disease or human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection, glaucoma, amanita mushroom poisoning, and alcoholic liver disease.
