It functions as part of two enzymes in the body, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), and with an additional phosphate (NADP). They work in the glycogen energy cycle, the oxidation of fatty acids for energy, and in tissue respiration. It is also responsible for vascular dilation, which can create a larger blood flow to working muscles in the competing athlete. Athletes require a higher intake of niacin, due to the use of niacin-linked energy processes in energy production. Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic Acid) Pantothenic Acid, also known as Vitamin B5, is used in the synthesis of coenzyme A (CoA). CoA is important in energy metabolism for pyruvate to enter the TCA cycle as acetyl-CoA for energy production. CoA is also important in the biosynthesis of many important compounds, such as fatty acids, cholesterol, and acetylcholine, which is crucial for the health and performance of athletes. Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine) Vitamin B6 directly benefits metabolism by enabling the metabolic reactions that our bodies need to synthesize the 11 non-essential amino acids. Vitamin B6 also helps to synthesize hemoglobin, which carries oxygen in the red blood cells and produces high energy levels. Finally, it aids in the production of white blood cells, which are an important part of a healthy immune system. Vitamin B7 (Biotin) Biotin's main functions that are crucial for athletes are energy production, synthesis of fatty acids, and it's direct involvement in nervous system activity. Biotin is involved in the metabolism of both sugar and fat. In sugar metabolism, biotin helps move sugar from its initial stages of processing on to its conversion into usable chemical energy. For this reason, muscle cramps and pains related to physical exertion, which may be the result of the body's inability to use sugar efficiently as fuel, may signal a bitoin deficiency. This enzyme puts together the building blocks for the production of fat in the body. Fat production is critical for all cells in the body since the membranes of all cells must contain the correct fat components to function properly. Because glucose and fat are used for energy within the nervous system, biotin also functions as a supportive vitamin in this area. Vitamin B9 (Folic Acid) Folic Acid is involved in the metabolism of several amino acids, including histidine, serine, glycine and methionine. It also works with vitamin B12 to form a coenzyme that is needed to produce red blood cells. Vitamin B12 Vitamin B12 is one of the crucial elements needed for the body to maintain perfect health. B12 plays a crucial role in energy production, fatty acid metabolism, cell production, DNA production and proper functioning of the nervous system, specifically in the brain. It also works with folic acid to from a coenzyme that is needed to produce red blood cells. Vitamin C (Ascorbic Acid) Vitamin C has complex functional roles in athletes, which include collagen synthesis, carnitine synthesis, neurotransmitter synthesis, immune system and possesses important antioxidant properties. Collagen is a structural protein found in skin, bones, tendons and cartilage, so it is needed to prevent injuries. Producing sufficient carnitine is critical in fat metabolism, where it transports long-chain fatty acids from the cell cytoplasm into mitochondrial matrix where beta-oxidation can occur. Research shows that it also plays a part in reducing the incidence of upper respiratory tract infections, which seem to occur more freq
