Best Sources of Vitamin A, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C and Vitamin D by Dr. Lina Velikova, MD
Vitamin B12 is one of the key nutrients for our nerves and blood cells. Its benefits are best assessed when a person has a deficit of it. The deficit reflects on nerves that are tingly, especially in hands and feet, but also fatigue, loss of appetite, general weakness, constipation, and in more severe deficit cases, megaloblastic anemia. Increased vitamin B12 (through diet, as the best option) helps alleviate these symptoms.
The major benefit of vitamin C is its antioxidant property that helps protect cells from the damage caused by free radicals. Free radicals emerge in our body due to processing the food into energy and from the outside pollution - cigarette smoke, environmental pollution, and UV lights from sun rays. Vitamin C also helps our body absorb iron. It helps create collagen, the protein that is the foundation for many tissues, especially the skin.
