How do Vitamins Work?
Can Selenium help us improve our brain function? Does Vitamin C or Echinacea prevent a cold? These and a thousand other questions come up daily for people who are concerned about their health and want the best, most natural cures and prevention techniques for common maladies.
So many studies are being done and so many claims are being made that it seems challenging to get straight answers and to know what really works and is necessary, and what is a scam created just to sell supplements or books.
The underlying truth is that vitamins and minerals do play essential roles in not just our health but the actual building and functioning of our bodies. Without optimum amounts of essential vitamins and minerals, our health suffers and our bodies do not function at their best, often leading to long-term problems and deeper, preventable diseases.
Many vitamins work in synergistic ways with others to ensure our bodily systems perform well, and for this reason it’s often necessary to take a vitamin supplement to ensure all vitamin needs are met and no shortages occur.
Vitamins work in many miraculous ways, such as:
- Helping with the formation and/or maintenance of skin, blood cells, mucous membranes, eyes eg. Vitamin A and bones, teeth, and hair eg. Vitamin C
- Helping with reproductive health, eg. B Vitamins
- Preventing inflammation which leads to disease
- Increasing absorption of other important vitamins, and/or combining with other nutrients
- Removing toxins from the system; detoxification
- Helping with metabolism and other important processes in the body
- Helping to prevent aging and other detrimental processes
