What do vitamins do?
Vitamins have many functions and influence the health of nearly every organ in your body. Their combination with other substances such as minerals, proteins and enzymes brings about certain chemical reactions. Individual vitamins have specific functions which vary widely and can overlap. They are involved in growth, the ability to produce healthy offspring, and the maintenance of health. They play a role in metabolism, enabling your body to use other essential nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins and minerals. Vitamins are important for a normal appetite, in digestion, mental alertness, and resistance to bacterial infections.
In addition to their basic roles in metabolism, some vitamins have specific preventive and therapeutic effects when taken in larger amounts. For example, niacin can be used to lower cholesterol and vitamin B6 can be used to treat premenstrual syndrome. Large doses of vitamins may slow, or even reverse many diseases previously thought an inevitable part of aging; such as cancer, heart disease, osteoporosis, impaired immunity, nerve degeneration and other chronic health problems. Many experts consider that taking larger doses of some vitamins is necessary for optimum health.
Vitamins are not substitutes for food. They cannot be assimilated without taking in food. They have no energy value of their own and are not components of body structures.
