Unveiling The Essential Functions Of Soy Vitamins

By Leslie Ball


Since time in memorial the soya bean has been known as the mother of all legumes and beans. This is because the soya bean has a large range of nutrients both in its growing form and its seed form. Thus range of nutrients has proven the soya to be quite helpful to human beings at both its levels of growth. Despite the large range of nutrients it offers in this article we will mainly focus on the soy vitamins specifically found in soya which include; Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Biotin, vitamin B12 and folic acid.

The vitamin Thiamine which is also known as vitamin B1 which is found in soya at varying levels depending on growth conditions and other environmental conditions like the soil composition which in turn determines its concentration. Thiamine is necessary in body metabolism whereby it helps the body cells change carbohydrates into energy, it is also vital in muscle contraction and is crucial in conduction of nerve signals.

The soy bean also contains a vitamin B3 also known as Niacin. This vitamin is necessary in conversion of food into energy as it is among the main catalysts in the conversion process. Its functionality is not only limited to the conversion process as it is also one of the vitamins necessary in making sex related hormones in the adrenal gland and other body parts.

The nervous system is basically the transmission system of human pulses that sends signals from the brain to the other organs around the body that carry out the actions the brain perceives. Biotin being a vitamin found in Soy helps carry out the transmission of pulses across the body. Apart from helping in transmission, it also helps in conversion of carbohydrates to energy for use by the body.

The DNA of a human being is basically their biological identity since the possibility of human beings having a similar DNA is almost possible to none. This factor makes the folic acid very vital in a human body as it is crucial in manufacturing the DNA since its among the components that makes it complete. The folic acid is also sourced from the soya bean.

The DNA being a vital identity tool also has to come up with a mechanism that protects it against its destruction. This important duty they assign it to another vitamin the Riboflavin which has a high concentration level in soya beans. Thus a deficit in the amount of riboflavin in the body is a source of alarm to a human.

The vitamin B12 is one important vitamin to human beings. This is because the vitamin is necessary for the formation of the red blood cells in the body whose main function is the transportation and without the red blood cells the body functions on a very low level of operations and at times may be fatal.

As explained above soya has many vitamins, not only those that protect the body but also those that defend the body against the destructive agents found in the environments. Despite that, it also has the carbohydrates and minerals that are contained in beans, legumes and other sources of nutrients.
