This is riboflavin, which is a key part of many metabolic functions in the body. It is one of many nutrients required to recycle glutathione, which is one of the most important antioxidants in the human body. From a chemical standpoint, what B2 does is facilitate the conversion of oxidized glutathione into reduced glutathione.<\/p>\n

The best food sources include grass-fed raw cheese, almonds, grass-fed beef and lamb, oily fish such as salmon and pasture-raised eggs.<\/p>\n

Vitamin B3: niacin<\/h1>\n

This is niacin, which is important in energy production. Two unique forms of vitamin B3 (called nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, or NAD, and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate, or NADP) are essential for conversion of dietary proteins, fats and carbohydrates into usable energy. Niacin is also used to synthesize starch that can be stored in muscles and liver for eventual use as an energy source.<\/p>\n

The richest food sources are tuna, chicken, turkey, salmon and grass-fed beef.<\/p>\n

Vitamin B5: pantothenic acid<\/h1>\n

The most studied role of pantothenic acid in health support is its incorporation into a molecule called coenzyme A (CoA). This molecule is arguably on the short list of the most important chemicals needed to sustain life. CoA occupies a central place in energy metabolism, acting to allow carbohydrates, fats and proteins to be burned as fuel sources.<\/p>\n

B5 is also responsible for the production of sex- and stress-related hormones including testosterone. Studies show that B5 also promotes healthy skin with the ability to reduce signs of skin aging such as redness and skin spots.<\/p>\n

The best food sources include mushrooms, oily fish like salmon and trout, and grass-fed raw cheese.<\/p>\n
