ascorbic acid is a antioxidant and thereby protects body cells from damage. In addition, the vitamin is very important for the production of connective tissue, the absorption of iron and for the defense of the immune system. Vitamin C also has positive effects on the skin, blood vessels, strengthening the teeth and the composition of bones and cartilage. It also helps with fatigue and ensures a well-functioning nervous system.
And in case of a shortage?
If you are deficient in vitamin C, you have a low resistance and are therefore more susceptible to diseases. Your wounds also heal less quickly and the build-up of connective tissue is less rapid. Severe deficiency can lead to the age-old disease scurvy. So take good care of yourself!

Tryptophan is one of the building blocks of proteins (proteins) and the body makes this from dairy and eggs. Niacin is found in food and is mainly found in meat, fish, poultry, whole grains, vegetables, potatoes, nuts and seeds.
Niacin has an important role in energy metabolism and protein metabolism. The vitamin does not provide energy on its own, but is important for supporting energy levels.

In very serious cases, the deficiency can still lead to disturbances of consciousness or dementia. However, a deficiency of this vitamin is rare, because enough of this vitamin can already be found in protein-rich foods.

Therole of vitamin B6 is just like that of vitamin B3 important in the metabolic process. Vitamin B6 is mainly responsible for the breakdown and construction of amino acids, which are building blocks for proteins. Vitamin B6 is therefore important in the production of vitamin B3 in your body. In addition, vitamin B6 is also important for the regulation of hormones and essential for growth. Furthermore, the vitamin is indispensable in the production of red blood cells, a proper functioning of the immune system and it is good for the nervous system and digestion.

Vitamin B12 is just like vitamins B3 and B6 important for the metabolism. For example, it is essential for the production of red blood cells, which prevents pernicious anemia (a form of anemia).

Most of the zinc is found in shellfish and crustaceans. In addition, it can also be absorbed from meat, fish, rice, legumes, brown bread, nuts and dairy products.
Zinc is essential in the construction of DNA and proteins, the growth and renewal of tissue, metabolism and also for the proper functioning of the immune system and the immune system.
