Vitamins
Vitamins are essential compounds. Our body needs them in order for all our systems to function and for us to feel at our best. If you’re lacking a certain vitamin, it could leave you feeling tired, run down and more likely to get ill. Vitamins come in all sorts of different varieties as they have hundreds of different functions. The key thing about them, however, is that they cannot be made in the body. You can use them to create other compounds, but your body must obtain the vitamins themselves from your food or supplements.
Vitamin D
Vitamin D regulates the amount of calcium in your body, which is necessary to keep your bones and cartilage healthy. It’s particularly important for children as they’re growing, but as adults we also need to maintain vitamin D levels in order to keep our bones, teeth and bodies strong. It ensures our joints stay healthy and prevents pain from conditions such as osteomalacia.
It is gained from direct sunlight on your skin. Most people in the UK suffer from vitamin D deficiency in the autumn and winter — often without realising it. The NHS recommend that every adult takes a vitamin D supplement during this time in order to support their bodies.
During the spring and summer, it’s much easier to get enough vitamin D as there is more sunlight and more people spend time outside. However, in the UK, it can still be difficult, especially if you work inside or on night shifts.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is an essential vitamin that has a huge number of benefits throughout your body. It keeps your immune system healthy and able to fight off bacteria and illnesses. It also supports your skin, your blood vessels and your bones. It even helps to heal cuts.
Vitamin C can be found in a large amount of food, particularly in fruit and vegetables. This is why people often recommend eating oranges to stave off a cold. However, many people can’t get the necessary amount of vitamin C to support their body purely from their diet, or are unable to properly synthesise it in this form. Vitamin C supplements can help protect your body and stay healthy, providing the support you need.
Vitamin B Complex
Vitamin B comes in many different forms, such as B12, and you need all of them in order to maintain healthy systems throughout your body. They each have different functions. For example:
- Vitamin B1 keeps your heart and immune system functioning healthily
- B3 and B7 maintain and support healthy skin
- B7 also helps keep your hair strong
- B5 promotes good brain function
- B6 maintains high energy levels, reducing fatigue
- Vitamin B12 supports your immune system
The various forms of vitamin B are found in different foods, meaning it’s vital to have a balanced diet if you want to stay healthy. You can find vitamin B1 in eggs, peas and wholegrain bread. If you want more vitamin B12, foods such as meat, eggs and cheese are rich in it. This means it can be hard for vegetarians and vegans to get enough of this vitamin. Vitamin B complex supplements provide the full range of B vitamins that your body needs and are vegetarian and vegan friendly.
