Vitamins play a very important role in the human body. Vitamins, also called vitamins, are a general term for many organic compounds. Generally speaking, the human body cannot produce them by itself and needs to be obtained through diet. Vitamins mainly play a major role in the human body's metabolism. There are many types of vitamins, the most common one is vitamin C. Many friends have questions, which one is the best among so many vitamins? Vitamins cannot produce energy or form cells like carbohydrates, proteins and fats, but they regulate the metabolism of organisms. Vitamin deficiencies can lead to serious health problems. Current research shows that humans need at least 13 vitamins. Different vitamins have different chemical properties. VA is retinol; VB1 is thiamine, VB2 is riboflavin; VB6 is pyridoxal, VD is alcohol; VE is tocopherol; VK is quinone; VC is ascorbic acid. In case of vitamin deficiency or excess, the human body will store fat-soluble vitamins, so excessive intake will accumulate in the body, especially in the liver, posing a risk of poisoning. Water-soluble vitamins are excreted through the kidneys and are relatively safe, but they should not be consumed in excess because it is possible that excess vitamins will cause other biochemical reactions in the body. Normally, there is no problem of overdose if you take vitamins normally from food, but taking too many vitamin pills can be dangerous. Generally speaking, the amount of vitamins required by the human body is relatively small. As long as you pay attention to a balanced diet, vitamin deficiency will generally not occur. Vitamin deficiency will not cause death, but it will lead to many symptoms due to metabolic disorders: Vitamin A -- night blindness, dry eyes, optic nerve atrophy, etc.; Vitamin B1 --Neuritis, beriberi, Wernicke's aphasia, etc.; Vitamin B2 -- seborrheic dermatitis, stomatitis, etc.; Vitamin B3 -- insomnia, oral ulcers, pellagra, etc.; Vitamin B6 -- muscle spasms, allergic eczema, etc.; Vitamin B9 -- pernicious anemia; Vitamin B12--Pernicious anemia; Vitamin C -- scurvy; Vitamin D -- osteomalacia (rickets); Vitamin E -- infertility, habitual miscarriage, etc.; Vitamin K -- Deficiency of thrombin, difficulty in stopping bleeding It does not mean that the more vitamins you supplement, the better. Excessive intake will cause poisoning due to accumulation in the body, which can manifest as mood changes, headaches, dry skin, hair loss and other symptoms. Everyone just needs to take vitamins from food every day. There is no need to take special vitamins, which will cause many sequelae. Vitamin deficiency needs to be taken under the guidance of a doctor. |
