Apart from vitamin D which is synthesized in the skin, vitamins must be provided by food in minimal quantities, a few milligrams or even micrograms per day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Deficiencies take time to settle but can result in fatigue, memory problems but also diseases such as scurvy (vitamin C deficiency), beriberi (vitamin B1 deficiency).<\/p>\n<p>There are 13 vitamins described and many functions can and will be attributed to them, as a preventive role against diseases such as cancer, cataracts, bone pathologies, cardiovascular diseases, fetal malformations and immunity deficiency.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>A) Water-soluble vitamins<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The water-soluble vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B8, B9, B12, C are not stored by the body but eliminated by the kidney and in sweat so if the daily needs are not met, the reserves s &#8216;exhaust.

These two carotenoids are converted to vitamin A only by mammals. Vitamin A is found in animal foods (liver, cod liver oil, fish, eggs and dairy products) in the form of retinol, which can be used directly; in plants it is its precursor, \u03b2-carotene, or provitamin A, only transformed according to the needs of the organism which is found. 4 g of spirulina provide as much \u03b2-carotene as 100 g of brightly colored vegetables.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Vitamin content in \u03bcg \/ g of Spirulina dry matter<\/strong><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\"><strong>Vitamines hydrosolubles <\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"140\"><strong>Teneur en Ug\/g<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">B1 (thiamine)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">34 \u2013 50<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">B2 (riboflavine)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">30 \u2013 46<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">B3 (niacine)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">130 E<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">B5 (pantoth\u00e9nate<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">4.6 \u2013 25<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">B6 (pyridoxine)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">5 \u2013 8<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">B8 (biotine)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">0.05<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">B9 (folate)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">0.5<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">B12 (cobalamine)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">0.10 \u2013 0.34<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\"><strong>Vitamines liposolubles<\/strong><\/td>\n<td width=\"140\"><strong>Teneur en Ug\/g<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\"><strong>Provitamine A (<\/strong><strong>\u03b2<\/strong>-carot\u00e8ne)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">700 \u2013 1700<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">Cryptoxanthine<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">100<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"232\">(alpha-tocoph\u00e9rol)<\/td>\n<td width=\"140\">50 \u2013 190<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Vitamins are organic compounds that act in small amounts and have a role in the development, functioning and maintenance of the body.
