1. Maintain the levels
of blood sugar: The insufficient
amount of insulin in the body results in diabetes. The calcium is required for
the insulin secretion. Vitamin D helps to reduce inflammation and raise the
insulin sensitivity. The studies shows that Vitamin D helps to prevent both
type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
2. Immunity system: Vitamin D helps to replicate the healthy cells
and protects the autoimmune conditions such as flu and common cold. It also
prevents the excessive or prolonged inflammatory responses. Inflammation os the
cause for autoimmune disorders and chronic diseases such as rheumatoid
arthritis, multiple sclerosis, irritable bowel syndrome, high blood pressure
and digestive problems.
3. Cardiovascular conditions: Besides the balance of triglycerides and
cholesterol levels, Vitamin B3 helps to reduce atherosclerosis that is
hardening of arteries which may lead to the heart disease. It also assists to
reduce the histamine production and inflammation along with the improvement in circulation.
Vitamin B3 reduces the chances of reoccurring of heart disease or cardiac
arrest in those who have already
experienced. Additionally, Vitamin B3 helps to treat pellagra which is the
health condition that occurs from the deficiency of niacin.

helps to clear acne when it is applied topically in the skin. Niacin assists in
the reduction of flare ups, skin inflammation, redness and irritation. It also
helps to treat granuloma annulare and bullous pemphigoid which is a skin
disease that blisters the skin, cause pain and infection.
5. Brain health: The studies show that copper has an impact on
the brain pathways such as galactose and dopamine which helps to maintain the
energy, mood, focus and outlook. The deficiency of copper results in fatigue,
low metabolic activity, poor mood and problem in concentration. Copper also
helps to utilize the antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase, Vitamin C,
tyrosinase and ascorbate oxidase. This helps to prevent the damage made by free
radicals in the brain and also slows down the process of ageing,
neuro-degenerative diseases and cancer.
6. Cures anemia: An inadequate amount of oxygen in the blood,
low red bloods cell production and the blood loss are the causes of Anemia.
Vitamin B2 helps to prevent the anemia. Vitamin B2 is vital for production of
red blood cells and steroid hormone synthesis. It assists in transporting the
oxygen in the body and also mobilizes iron. The people with low Vitamin B2 have
the high chances of sickle cell anemia and anemia. The research shows that
Vitamin B2 helps to reduce the homocysteine levels in the blood.
7. Provides energy: Vitamin B converts the carbohydrate into
glucose which is used as a fuel to produce energy. Vitamin B synthesizes the
body and metabolizes proteins and fats. Vitamin B5 assist to rebuild muscles,
tissues and organs. Vitamin B5 helps to maintain the optimum level of
metabolism.
8. Prevents tooth decay: Vitamin D, phosphorus and calcium helps to
form and maintain the dental health by assisting the jaw-bone mineral density,
holding the teeth and tooth enamel. Children need calcium and phosphorus rich
foods to develop the adult teeth and form the hard structure of teeth. Vitamin
D requires phosphorus to balance the calcium and enhance absorption while forming
tooth. Vitamin D reduces the gum inflammation which is related to periodontal
gum disease.
