Vitamins are the building blocks that keep our bodies running; they help build muscle and bone, capture energy, heal wounds and more. But if our body doesn’t create vitamins, how do they get into our system? Ginnie Trinh Nguyen describes what vitamins are, how they get into our bodies — and why they are so crucial.

    Run the spool in hot water for 10 mins… stop casting so hard and keep your fingers near the line so you can catch it as it hits the water. Make sure slack isnt so loose on a hard cast

    Very good informative video.Personally,I take B-Complex Vitamins derived from plants,not synthetic B-Vitamins which are produced in the lab from petroleum derivatives.How about a video demonstrating the difference between plant-based vitamins and synthetics?

    Cool.



  25. Gongktuh Bakktaabh on July 18, 2022 at 2:13 am

    Bile is presicely NOT acidic. It is so important that bile is a base so that it neutralises the acidic content coming from the stomach where there IS acid. This is necessary so the acid doesn’t damage the rest of the digestive tract

    Vitamin is actually derived from
    Vital + amines
    Amines means amino acids

    In 2050 you’re not have the ability to circulate water soluble vitamins



  46. MASM15 on July 18, 2022 at 2:39 am

    It is some kind of out of order out alphabet



  47. Edie Cortese on July 18, 2022 at 2:41 am

    Vitamin E: Basically Wilt from Foster’s HfIF
    Vitamin C: Basically my friend Dylan shaped like a long peanut
    Vitamin K: Basically YOUR MOM HAHAHAHA GOT HIM
    Vitamin A: Basically what ketchup looks like on a burger in Job/Vacation Simulator
    Vitamin D: Basically a Native American tribe symbol
    Vitamin B: Basically the letter B sideways with holes filled in (very creative)
    (P.S. this is a great lesson, P.P.S no offense to the vitamins, it’s just a joke)



  48. Dr. Henry Jones on July 18, 2022 at 2:41 am

    Quality is everything. Vitamin C is an effective gauge for this metric. If your bottle says "ascorbic acid" you are consuming the equivalent of synthetic junk. Vitamin D2 or D3 in larger doses sourced from the likes of sheep wool or lichen utilizing various chemical agent processes or hexanes is going to do more harm than good. You need to take a Vitamin C completely sourced from organic fruits and without ten other unnecessary additive ingredients. There are also some excellent Vitamin D caps out there which are completely sourced from organic mushrooms as the sole component. Same thing with Zinc; get one sourced from the likes of organic guava not synthetics that won’t even be absorbed by your body and ultimately just tax your liver to work much harder. Do your research and take something that is going to truly benefit your system as opposed to being counterintuitive and in the long run, harming you.
