Vitamin A is important for the growth
of and development of bones, teeth and gums. It is also essential for night
vision, healthy skin, hair and mucous membranes.
Vitamin C serves as an antioxidant
and plays a role in collagen formation, nerve function and tissue repair. A
deficiency in vitamin C results in defective collagen synthesis, and is associated
with impaired wound healing, disruption of capillaries, and improper bone and
tooth formation.
Vitamin D plays an essential role
in bone health. Vitamin D helps the body absorb and utilize calcium, wihch
is necessary to build strong bones and teeth.
Vitamin E is an antioxidant that
can help prevent a chemical reaction called oxidation, which may result in
harmful effects in your body. Over time it is also important for the proper
function of nerves and muscles.
Folic Acid, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12
are B vitamins that work together to prevent the excess buildup of the amino
acid, homocysteine in the blood, which has been associated with an increased
risk of atherosclerosis. Research shows that low levels of B6, B12 and folic
acid are associated with high levels of homocysteine, which may be an independent
risk factor for heart disease. Increased intake of these B vitamins can lower
homocysteine levels, and preliminary research indicates that these vitamins
may be protective against heart disease.
Niacin is a B vitamin required by
all cells in the body and it is necessary for energy production and to promote
healthy skin, nerves and the digestive system.
Thiamin is necessary for energy production,
especially from carbohydrates. It is important for normal functioning of the
heart, nervous system, and muscles.

100% of the recommended daily value of vitamins B6, B12, C, D, E, Folic Acid,
