Mojoba Health Supplement Vitamin Complex

Mojoba Intelligent Nutrition

Vitamins Complex
Wild Harvest Mojoba Health Supplement contains high concentrations of Vitamin C and contains Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B6 & B12.

Vitamins have different functions in the body:
Vitamin C (Ascorbic acid) is important for growth and repair of tissues in the body. It is an antioxidant, promotes healthy gums, assists the body absorb iron and helps wounds heal. Mojoba Health Supplement as a rich source of ascorbic acid helps in insulin secretion. Nutrients like vitamins B1, B2, B12, pantothenic acid, vitamin C, protein and potassium - along with small frequent meals containing some carbohydrate - can actually stimulate production of insulin within the body.

Vitamin A (Beta Carotene), Vitamin A is a vitamin which is needed by the retina of the eye in the form of a specific metabolite, the light-absorbing molecule retinal. This molecule is absolutely necessary for both scotopic and vision. Vitamin A also functions in a very different role, as an irreversibly oxidized form retinoic acid, which is an important hormone-like growth factor for epithelial and other cells.

Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) helps the body cells change carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for heart function and healthy nerve cells.

Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin) works with other B vitamins and is important for body growth and production of red blood cells. Vitamin B2 is required for a wide variety of cellular processes. Like the other B vitamins, it plays a key role in energy metabolism, and for the metabolism of fats, ketone bodies, carbohydrates, and proteins. It is the central component of the cofactors FAD and FMN, and is therefore required by all flavo-proteins.

Vitamin B3 (Niacin), like all B complex vitamins, are necessary for healthy skin, hair, eyes, and liver. They also help the nervous system function properly. Niacin also helps the body make various sex and stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body. Niacin is effective in improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.

Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) helps the body use protein, helps form red blood cells and helps maintain brain function. Vitamin B6 is required for the synthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin and norepinephrine and for myelin formation. Pyridoxine deficiency in adults principally affects the peripheral nerves, skin, mucous membranes, and the blood cell system. In children, the central nervous system (CNS) is also affected. Deficiency can occur in people with uremia, alcoholism, cirrhosis, hyperthyroidism, malabsorption syndromes, congestive heart failure (CHF), and in those taking certain medications.

Vitamin B7 (Biotin) has vital metabolic functions. Without biotin as a co-factor, many enzymes do not work properly, and serious complications can occur, including varied diseases of the skin, intestinal tract, and nervous system. Biotin can help address high blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes, and is helpful in maintaining healthy hair and nails, decreasing insulin resistance and improving glucose tolerance, and possibly preventing birth defects. It plays a role in energy metabolism, and has been used to treat alopecia, cancer, Crohn's disease, hair loss, Parkinson's disease, peripheral neuropathy, Rett syndrome, seborrheic dermatitis, and vaginal candidiasis.

Vitamin B12 known as the energy vitamin is its crucial role in energy metabolism. It is a vital component in the creation of red blood cells. Because B12 is known to increase your energy and metabolism, hence it may assist with the weight loss process.

Babies and young children sometimes develop deficiencies because their bodies haven’t had time to stockpile the vitamin yet Senior citizens and those vegetarians who do not consume meat and dairy almost certainly need B 12 as part of their regular diet. Mojoba health supplement is one of the rare plant based foods which contain a plentiful supply.

The minerals and vitamins contained in Mojoba are beneficial to anaemics, anorexics, smokers and athletes and can be effective for osteoporosis, varicose veins and haemorrhoids and is a choice ingredient in diets for diabetics (notably type II diabetes) Ideal in pro-biotic formulations, thanks to the high content in soluble fibre it makes an ideal diet complement for all the family.
