B-12 BASICS:
Vitamins
are "organic" compounds, which means they are produced naturally
in both vegetables and animals and are therefore found in abundant
quantities in both of these
food
sources. The main function of vitamins in the system is to act as
"coenzymes" (i.e., substances that enhance the action of
proteins which induce chemical reactions). Enzymes are catalysts in all
chemical reactions that take place in the body. These reactions include
energy metabolism and muscle building, to name only two of thousands. As
coenzymes, vitamins are an essential component of enzymatic
activity-without vitamins, enzymes simply wouldn't work; you wouldn't
build muscle, and your body wouldn't be able to convert the food you eat
into all the magnificent chemicals that make up the human body. Vitamins
are either fat-soluble or water-soluble; depending on whether fat or water
based molecules transport the vitamin through the bloodstream. Fat-soluble
vitamins include A, D, E, and K. Because these
vitamins
have an affinity for fat, they can be stored in both adipose (fat) tissue
and in the liver, extending their functional life span in the body and
strongly decreasing the chance of developing deficiencies. The
water-soluble vitamins include all of the B vitamins and Vitamin C; they
aren't stored in the body for more than a few hours, so daily intake is a
must.
B12 supplementation (injections especially) is quite popular with bodybuilders who believe it helps boost energy levels, protect the liver, and increase appetite. |
