Vitamines (Part 3)

This will be the last post about the vitamines, including folic acid, Niacin, pantothenic acid and Vitamin C. So here we go.


Folic acid:

synthetic form of the B-vitamin.

You can found it in:
green leafy vegetables, yeast, whole-grain products, potatoes, wheat germs and soy beans. Also contained in some animal products: liver, kidney, milk and dairy, eggs.


Niacin:

important for the process of DNA-repair, as well cell division.

You can found it in:
lean meat, offal, milk, eggs, fish, bread, pastries and potatoes.


Pantothenic acid:

has a central role in carbohydrate metabolism.

You can found it in:
almost all foodproducts, at least in only small quantities. Good sources are liver, meat, fish, milk, whole-grains, legumes, mushrooms and nuts.


Vitamin C:

antioxidant. Inhibits the formation of carcinogenic nitrosamines. Can improve the iron intake.

You can found it in:
fruit and vegetables (as well as their juices)


So now we have at least a little overview about the vitamines. There is a lot more info in the internet!


My next post will probably be a recipe. So stay tuned!
