Vitamin supplements

Vitamin A

Vitamin A reinforces the immune system's resistances to any infections such as

	AIDS,
	pulmonary diseases and
	cancer.

Vitamin A normalizes cell division and helps mucous membranes maintain their structural integrity to keep invaders out.

Vitamin A deficiency causes

	impaired antibody
	lymphocyte responses
	increased susceptibility to infection and
	some tumors
	neurological degeneration
	gastrointestinal and respiratory problems
	anemia

Many cancer studies have also shown that vitamin A alleviate the immunosuppressive effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy thereby allowing the immune system to fight cancer.

Vitamin A helps to fight against childhood infections like measles, respiratory and diarrhea related diseases. It also hastens recovery from chicken pox and eliminates any kind of complications.

Vitamin B

Vitamin B complex consists of :

	B1 ( thiamine)
	B2 ( riboflavin)
	B3 (niacin)
	B5 ( pantothenic acid)
	B6 ( pyridoxine )
	B12 ( cobalamin)
	Folic acid
	Botin
	Choline
	Inositol
	Para-aminobenzoic acid ( PABA)

The B vitamins which are water soluble are involved in metabolic processes and cell proliferation.

Each nutrient in the B family makes its own unique contribution to good health but all the B vitamins work together synergistically.

They are important for immune system strength because antibody producing cells cannot replicate without them.

Vitamin B6 is not only necessary for protein synthesis, but also stimulates antibody response.

A deficiency of vitamin B6 can cause

	decreased lymphocyte response
	an impaired antibody response
	an atrophy of lymphoid tissue

Women have a special need for vitamin B6 as it helps to convert estradiol into its least harmful and least carcinogenic form estriol thus helping to prevent cancer.

Women of child bearing age or are pregnant face deficiency as vitamin B6 is being used up for metabolism of hormones. Women who take birth control pill also require need more Vitamin B6 as the medication creates an enhanced need for it.

Vitamin B12 is essential of r nucleic acid synthesis and normal red blood cell production.

Folic acid is also essential for

the production of red blood cells

the development of the nervous system and blood cells of the fetus

A deficiency of folic acid can cause

	anemia
	impaired immunity response
	promote cancer

B6 Vitamin B-6 Liquid and B12 Vitamin B-12 250 mcg are important for heart health because they eliminate homocysteine, a blood protein which may be a more significant factor in heart attack than cholesterol.

Vitamin C

Vitamin C has many important immune functions. It provide protection against viral infection by

	strengthening connective tissue
	neutralizing toxic substances released by phagocytes
	suppresses replication of virus
	stimulate T cell activity
	increases the level of interferon
	increases glutathion which is absolutely important to immune function by
	eliminating toxic substances, enhancing cellular oxygen and activating enzymatic reactions.

Vitamin C reduces toxic effects of radiation therapy by protecting the skin and bone marrow. It is also benefical against toxic chemical exposure by stimulating production of natural killer cells and enhancing B cell activity. Researcher believe it would be effective in treating malignant tumors.

Studies have shown vitamin C has a significant protective effect against cancer by detoxifying carcinogen, enhancing NK cytoxic activity, maintaining integrity of intercellular matrix.

Vitamin E

Vitamin E is a fat soluble antioxidant. It is important for immune function. It protects cell membrane, nuclear and mitochondrial membranes, nervous system cells and immune system cells from free radical damage

	Protects cell membrane from free radical damage
	Stabilize cell membrane for the purpose of cell to cell communication
	Inhibit the production of inflammatory prostaglandins
