vitamin c (ascorbic acid)
vitamin c has a host of power-related functions in the body. this vitamin is necessary for the formation of collagen and other connective tissues, including elastin, fibronectin, proteoglycans and elastin-associated fibrillin. these compounds are integral components of healthy tendons, cartilage, ligaments and bone matrix, which are necessary for the body to exert physical power. furthermore, ascorbic acid is required for the synthesis of carnitine - a compound necessary for the transportation of fatty acids into mitochondria where they are oxidized to generate adenosine triphosphate (atp), the energy currency of the body. finally, the vitamin c enhances the absorption of iron from the gastrointestinal tract. iron is a vital component of hemoglobin, which transports oxygen to the muscle and other body tissues via red blood cells.
vitamin b3 (niacin)
vitamin b3 is a water soluble vitamin that plays an integral role in energy metabolism. niacin is a component of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (nad) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (nadp), two coenzymes necessary for the conversion of carbohydrates to energy for use by muscle and other tissues.
vitamin b5 (pantothenic acid)
vitamin b5 is a water soluble vitamin necessary for the body to generate energy from dietary components. this vitamin is required for the synthesis for coenzyme a (coa) which plays a central role in fatty acid and energy metabolism. coa combines with oxaloacetic acid to form citric acid in the first step of the tricarboxylic acid (krebs) cycle. the krebs cycle is instrumental in the generation of energy for use by muscle and other tissues.
vitamin b6 (pyridoxine)
vitamin b6 is an essential compound for amino acid metabolism and is required for the synthesis of heme, the core component of hemoglobin. hemoglobin is the molecule in red blood cells that transports oxygen to the muscle and other body tissues for use in aerobic energy utilization.
