Flax Seed Oil And Vitamins

Flax seeds contain ample amounts of vitamin B1, B2, C, E and carotene. They also contain plenty of iron and zinc, two very important minerals, as well as trace amounts of calcium, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus. Here is some brief information regarding a few flax seed oil vitamins and there effects on the human body.

Flax seed oil vitamin: B1

This flax seed oil vitamin is also known as Thiamine. Vitamin B1 helps the human body convert carbohydrates and fat into energy. It is water soluble and cannot be stored in the body; you should therefore make sure that B1 is a part of your daily diet. Lack of this flax seed oil vitamin can lead to heart problems and improper functioning of the nervous and digestive systems. Tea, coffee and betel nuts contain anti-thiamine factors, so if you ingest such products on a daily basis it is important to compensate by eating more food rich in B1.

Flax seed oil vitamin: B2

This flax seed oil vitamin is also known as Riboflavin. Just like vitamin B, it plays a key role in energy metabolism. Without vitamin B2, the body cannot metabolise fat, carbohydrates and protein. If you do not ingest sufficient amounts of B2, your lips and the corners of you mouth can become red and cracked, mouth ulcers can appear, and inflammations can develop in the lining of mouth and tongue. Other symptoms are dry and scaling skin, bloodshot eyes, itchy eyes, and a sore throat.  

Flax seed oil vitamin: Carotene

Carotene is a so called pro-vitamin, because it can be stored in the liver and converted to vitamin A when needed. If you eat dietary supplements high in vitamin A the amount of vitamin A in you body can reach toxic levels. If you instead eat normal food naturally high in vitamin A and boost your vitamin intake with products high in carotene, such as flax seed oil, it is impossible to become vitamin A poisoned because the body will never convert more carotene into vitamin A than necessary.

Flax seed oil vitamin: E

This flax seed oil vitamin is also known as Tocopherol. It is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from the effects of free radicals. Free radicals have been linked to the development of both cancer and cardiovascular disease, and ingesting this flax seed oil vitamin on a regular basis is therefore a very good idea.
