Summer is here, and one problem that bothers many people is mosquito bites. For this reason, everyone tries every possible way to buy mosquito coils, mosquito nets, and wind oil, etc. However, few people know that vitamin B can be used to prevent mosquitoes. Here I will introduce to you some methods of using vitamin B to prevent mosquitoes. After understanding these methods, you can use them appropriately. Introduction to B Vitamins Vitamin B (Vitamin B), formerly known as vitamin B, is a general term for B vitamins. They often come from the same food sources, such as yeast. It is a water-soluble vitamin. 1. Vitamin B1 is the earliest vitamin to be purified. It was first discovered by Dutch scientist Eijkman in 1896 and extracted and purified from rice bran by Polish chemist Funk in 1910. It is a white powder, easily soluble in water and easily decomposed when exposed to alkali. Its physiological function is to increase appetite, maintain normal nerve activity, etc. Lack of it can cause athlete's foot, neurodermatitis, etc. Adults need to take 2 mg per day. 2. Vitamin B2 is also known as riboflavin. It was first discovered by British chemist Bruce from whey in 1879, extracted from milk by American chemist Golberg in 1933, and synthesized by German chemist Cohen in 1935. Vitamin B2 is an orange-yellow needle-shaped crystal with a slightly bitter taste. Its aqueous solution has a yellow-green fluorescence and is easily decomposed under alkaline or light conditions. This is the reason why alkali is not added when cooking porridge. If the human body lacks it, it is prone to stomatitis, dermatitis, microangiogenesis, etc. Adults should consume 2 to 4 mg per day. It is found in large quantities in foods such as grains, vegetables, milk and fish. 3. Vitamin B3 is the B vitamin that the human body requires in the largest amount. Vitamin B3 is not only a vitamin that maintains the health of the digestive system, but also an indispensable substance for the synthesis of sex hormones. For modern people whose lives are full of stress, niacin maintains the health of the nervous system and the normal functioning of the brain. 4. Vitamin B5 is also known as pantothenic acid. It can resist stress, cold and infection, prevent the toxicity of certain antibiotics, and eliminate postoperative abdominal distension. 5. Vitamin B6 has the functions of inhibiting vomiting and promoting development. Its lack can cause symptoms such as vomiting and cramps. It includes three substances, namely pyridoxine, pyridoxal and pyridoxamine. Pyridoxine is converted into pyridoxal in the body, and pyridoxal and pyridoxamine can be converted into each other. Foods such as yeast, liver, lean meat, grains, and cabbage are rich in vitamin B6. |
