Vitamin supplements for natural health support

Human health relies heavily on vitamins. In some studies, fortified foods, which are the primary source of vitamins, are responsible for 85% of our health. However, most people do not get enough essential nutrients even if they eat a healthy diet. To prevent and treat vitamin deficiency, you can use vitamin supplements.

Why do we need vitamins? 

Vitamins help our bodies function properly and keep chemical reactions running smoothly. Most vitamins, except for vitamins D, K and B3, cannot be synthesised by the body, so we get them from food. Generally, a daily dose of about 100 mg of vitamins is enough for the normal functioning of the body. However, there are a variety of factors that can affect an individual's need for vitamins, such as their age, gender, job, climatic conditions, etc. 

The functions of vitamins in our bodies are diverse. They are essential for regulating metabolism, supporting the nervous system, building bone and muscle tissue, protecting against viral and infectious diseases, removing the effects of free radicals in the body and many other processes. 

Essential vitamins for our health 

Currently, more than 20 vitamins are known. The most important are: 

• Vitamin A. This vitamin is essential for the normal growth and development of the body. It participates in the formation of visual purple in the retina, affects the condition of the skin and mucous membranes, promotes protein synthesis and lipid metabolism and helps increase resistance to infections. 
• Vitamins B. A whole group of vitamins, all of which have a significant impact on bodily processes. B vitamins are important in metabolism to supply the body with energy, are essential for the normal functioning of the nervous system and liver, are needed to maintain the tone of the muscles of the digestive tract and contribute to the health of the skin, hair, nails and eyes.
• Vitamin C. It takes part in all types of metabolism, activates the action of certain hormones and enzymes, regulates redox processes, promotes the growth of cells and tissues and increases the body's resistance to harmful environmental factors, especially infectious agents. Vitamin C can also affect blood vessel permeability, regeneration and healing of tissues, iron absorption in the gut and the exchange of cholesterol and hormones in the adrenal cortex. 
• Vitamin D. There are many varieties of vitamin D. The most essential for humans are vitamin D2 and vitamin D3. They regulate calcium and phosphate transport in the small intestine and bone tissues, participate in developing bone tissue and enhance its growth. 
• Vitamin E. As a powerful antioxidant, vitamin E slows down the ageing process in the body and also supports the functioning of the genital gonads in both women and men. Additionally, vitamin E can support the normal functioning of the immune system, improve cell nutrition, affect peripheral circulation, prevent the formation of blood clots and strengthen the walls of blood vessels. It is necessary for tissue regeneration, reducing the possibility of scarring and normal blood pressure. 
• Vitamin K. It regulates the mechanism of blood clotting, which protects a person from internal and external bleeding in case of injury. This is why vitamin K is often given to women during childbirth and newborn babies. Also, vitamin K is involved in the formation and restoration of bone tissues, helps prevent osteoporosis, protects the functioning of the kidneys, regulates many redox processes in the body and has an antibacterial and analgesic effect. 

How to take vitamins? 

Although vitamins are needed in very small amounts, from micrograms to milligrams, they must be consumed constantly, since the body does not form a long-term supply of them. Vitamin supplements can help maintain optimal levels of vitamins and minerals in the body. At Mr Vitamins you can find both individual vitamins and multivitamin complexes.
