What is Vitamin A?
Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is a micronutrient which performs many different tasks within the
body. Perhaps its primary role is in support of the immune system - it helps to safeguard against
infection, and to preserve the integrity of the skin, as well as other points of entry for harmful
microbes, like the nose.
Vitamin A also helps to promote good eye health - particularly when it comes to vision in dim light.
It does this by helping with the production of proteins that absorb light in the retina, as well as the
structural proteins in other parts of the eye like the cornea.
If you avoid animal products for ethical reasons, then don't
despair. Unlike many other vitamins, the body can actually
synthesise the vitamin A it needs itself with the help of a
substance called beta-carotene. This is found in several
varieties of fruit and vegetables, most famously carrots
(hence the conventional wisdom that eating carrots helps
you to see in the dark), but also spinach and sweet
potatoes.

What is Vitamin B ?
Vitamins are types of micronutrients required by the body in just very small quantities - measured in
just milligrams. Most classes of vitamin contain a few different types, each of which helps with a
different part of the body's functionality. But B vitamins are perhaps the most widely-varying of all.
They are all are water-soluble, and help cells to process nutrients and thereby sustain themselves.
Let's take a look at a few of the more common varieties in turn, and at what effect they have on the
body.
Thiamine (Vitamin 81)
Thiamine plays an important role in helping to process carbohydrates. It collaborates with other
B-vitamins to extract them from and translate them into forms of energy that the cells can use. It
also helps to maintain the health of the nervous system, preserving the function of nerve cells. It also
plays a role in producing DNA and RNA - the instructions which inform this cell-building work.
You'll find thiamine in eggs, and in fresh and dried fruit. By far the most common source of dietary
thiamine is grain, such as that contained in breakfast cereal. It's found most abundantly in unrefined
grains, and less so in refined ones - though certain countries, like the US, have laws requiring millers
to enrich their refined flour using thiamine to compensate for the loss.
