Functions Of The Soy Vitamins To The Body

By Leslie Ball


The soya bean is considered as the most nutritious bean in its class. This is because it has a high concentration of nutrients as compared to other beans, legumes and other proteins like meat and some vegetables. One of the main nutrients that are produced by soya is the vitamin whereby it not only produces one kind of vitamin but several forms of soy vitamins which include; Riboflavin Thiamine, Niacin, Biotin, vitamin B12 and folic acid. These vitamins all have a basic necessary function in the body of a human being.

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.

As we all know electricity cannot travel without a medium and so is the pulse without the nervous system. The human body transports its pulses from the source to ones brain and back via the nervous system and the nervous system needs biotin in transmission of these pulses. This makes the Biotin very important to ones body and some sources of Biotin include the soya bean.

No two human beings will ever be the same, even in identical twins; this is all due to the DNA of human beings. The DNA is different from one human being to the next. The DNA of human beings is formed by a vitamin known as the folic acid which is vital in formation of DNA of human beings thus helping in creation of human identity. This vitamin has its sources from soya beans.

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.

Many facts have been illustrated to show why the soy bean is a mother of all the other beans and legumes since its nutrients are not only limited to the basic as some other legumes are.
