Communicator for the body
Vitamin PP (niacin): transfers electrons involved in redox processes.
Consequences of low concentration of vitamin PP:
- Pathologies of the psychological state (irritability, psychoses, neuroses, sometimes – signs of schizophrenia, dementia).
- Dysfunction of the gastrointestinal tract (insufficient secretion of gastric juice, diarrhea, vomiting, constipation).
- Diseases of the skin (pellagra, dermatitis) or mucous membranes (glossitis).
- Behavioral disorders (movement disorders, adynamia, ataxia).
Every day, the human body needs 20-50 mg of vitamin PP.
This vitamin is found in bread products made from whole grain flour, whole grains, legumes, offal, fish, dried mushrooms.
Acid for development
Folic acid (folicin): nucleic acid synthesis and amino acid metabolism. It is considered indispensable for the normal functioning of nerve fiber methylation processes, intrauterine development and growth.
Consequences of low concentration of folic acid in the body:
- Pathological blood changes (thrombo- and leukopenia, erythropoiesis disorders), development of hyperchromic anemia.
- Diseases of the mucous membrane of the oral cavity (stomatitis) and stomach (gastritis).
The body’s daily need for folic acid is 200 mg; in some conditions (pregnancy, chronic diseases), the body needs 400 mg. In the case of a deficiency of this substance, it is necessary to take special supplements, for example, Apo-Folic. It is commonly used by pregnant women during prenatal care to encourage healthy growth of the child. It is also commonly used to treat patients with a folic acid deficiency.
Different food products contain folic acid in different forms, so the degree of its absorption by the body is not the same. For example, more than 80% of folic acid can be absorbed from leafy vegetables and greens. But products that are boiled or fried (liver, legumes, brewer’s yeast) will be able to “give” only 10% of folate to the body.
Protection against bleeding
This is about vitamin C. The most frequent manifestations of insufficient concentration of vitamin C are bleeding gums, bruises, and prolonged bleeding.
The body should receive 20–30 mg of vitamin C daily.
Vitamin C is found in sufficient quantities and in a balanced form in fresh vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, bell pepper, potatoes), fruits (citrus, tangerines, lemons, apples), berries (black currant, sea buckthorn, mountain ash, blueberries, blueberries) and greens (dill, celery, horseradish, parsley, arugula).
The main factor that can cause a low concentration of vitamin C in the body is considered to be that people consume less vegetables and fruits in winter.
In some periods of life (pregnancy, periods of lactation and breastfeeding), the need for vitamin C increases to 80-120 mg per day. If you are deficient in vitamin C, in addition to consuming foods rich in this substance, you need to take supplements, for example, Gold-Vit C 1000 Forte.
