Hmmmmm ...OK. I had figured that since Vit B12 deficiency can cause a type of anemia (with fatigue being one of the symptoms), that taking in B12 would help increase energy somewhat. When I took B12 supplements, I thought I felt more energetic. Could it just be the 'power of thinking' that made me feel more energetic rather than the supplement?
I looked up a website (
http://www.eggs.ca/nutrition/health/health.htm ) on egg info. These are the nutrients found in eggs and what these nutrients do:
-Vitamin A helps maintain healthy skin and eye tissue, and assists with night vision.
-Vitamin D helps keep bones and teeth strong and regulates calcium absorption.
-Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant and protects vitamins A and C.
-Thiamin helps the body release energy from carbohydrates.
-Riboflavin is needed to metabolize proteins.
-Niacin helps release energy and promotes normal nerve function.
-Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is needed to metabolize protein and form tissues.
-Folate and Vitamin B12 aid in red blood cell formation.
-Pantothenic acid helps metabolize energy and form tissues.
-Calcium and phosphorus are used to make strong bones and teeth.
-Magnesium helps metabolize energy and form tissues and bones.
-Iron carries oxygen to the cells and keeps blood healthy.
-Zinc helps the body metabolize energy and form tissues.
Could any of these nutrients be energy releasers (ie: niacin or magnesium or zinc)?
