Because he suffers from athlete's foot, he has vitamins - the origin of vitamins

The creation of vitamin vitamin is one of the great creations of the 20th century. However, its creation is related to athlete's foot. In 1897, C. Ekman discovered in Java that you can suffer from beriberi by eating only finely ground white rice, and that unmilled brown rice can cure this disease. It was also discovered that substances that can cure beriberi can be extracted with water or alcohol. This substance was called "water-soluble B" at the time.

In 1906, it was stated that food contains "auxiliary elements" other than proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, inorganic salts and water. The amounts are very small, but they are necessary for the growth of animals. In 1911, C. Funk determined that the substances in brown rice that can resist beriberi are amines (a type of nitrogen-containing compounds), which are necessary to protect life, so he proposed to name them "Vitamine". That is Vital (life) amine (amine), the Chinese theory is "vital amine".

Since then, many vitamins have been continuously discovered, with different chemical properties and different psychological effects; many vitamins have also been discovered to contain no amines or nitrogen at all. However, Funk’s name has continued to be used, but Remove the letter "e" from the end. The originally discovered vitamin B was later proven to be a vitamin B complex. After purification and separation, it was found to be several substances, but the essence was similar to that dispersed in food, and it was generally a coenzyme. Some supplies must be balanced with each other, such as vitamins B1, B2 and PP, otherwise psychological efficiency will be affected. The invention and application of vitamins not only brought huge changes to the human world, but are also essential nutrients for pets.

Vitamin, not a single one is indispensable

Vitamin is a kind of low-molecular organic compound that is essential for pet body metabolism and is required in small amounts. It is generally not synthesized in the body and mainly depends on the supply of pet food. Except for several other vitamins, most of them require special additions in the production and production of pet food.

Vitamins are not raw materials for the production of tissues and organs of the body, nor are they energy substances.It widely participates in metabolism in the body in the form of coenzymes and catalysts, thereby maintaining the cell structure and normal functions of body tissues and organs, and protecting the health of pets and various production activities. According to specific factors such as different pet breeds, different psychological stages, development conditions, etc., very strict additions are required in pet food. Vitamins required by other animals cannot be substituted. There is often a gap between normal and extraordinary amounts. It will cause sensitive changes in pets, so do not add it casually.

Some vitamins can be partially synthesized by pets’ own bodies and do not require special additions during the production and consumption of pet food. This actually reduces the cost of pet food and is not practical. However, some vitamins must be added to pet food because pets cannot synthesize them themselves and are difficult to obtain them from other sources. They can only be obtained from food.

Different types of vitamins have different psychological effects and characteristics on pets. Deficiency and excess will bring greater effects to pets. Therefore, this requires that in the preparation process of pet food Carefully control your pet’s requirements for different vitamins.

Vitamins, how to properly control them

There are currently 14 types of vitamins that have been determined, which are divided into the above two categories according to their solubility: water-soluble , fat-soluble. Different vitamins have strict requirements on their dosage. Appropriate addition can play a positive role in the healthy growth and development of pets, improve the deliciousness of products, improve physical immunity, prevent diseases, etc. Insufficient or excessive amounts will bring serious adverse consequences to the pet's body.

Once the vitamin absorption is insufficient or excessive consumption, it will cause poisoning, organ deterioration, hair loss, difficulty in walking, inability to stand, hemolysis, loss of appetite, myocarditis, muscle atrophy, growth retardation, etc. Serious consequences such as blindness, anemia, convulsions, hypoxia and even death, etc. Therefore, the amount in pet food must be strictly based on the amount required by the pet.

Vitamin, where are you?

A wide range of foods are rich in vitamin nutrients, as follows:

Vitamin A: animal liver, eggs, dairy products, carrots, pumpkins, bananas , oranges and some green leafy vegetables;

Vitamin B1: in sunflower seeds, peanuts, soybeans, pork, cereals;

Vitamin K: In green leafy vegetables.

OnlyA full understanding of the different types of vitamins contained in different foods can help us effectively control the increase and supplement of vitamins in the process of feeding our pets, making our pets stronger and more beautiful.

Supplementing vitamins requires differentiated treatment

Vitamins will undergo complex changes during the preparation process of pet food, including physical changes and chemical changes. Changes or even changes in microorganisms, so when preparing food for pets, it is necessary to differentiate and treat according to the special characteristics of vitamin substances: strictly control the amount of addition according to different psychological stages and varieties of pets; fully consider the role of vitamins in high-temperature cooking damage; antagonisms and taboos between vitamins and other nutrients, etc.

I believe that these detailed instructions on vitamins can help owners with pets know more about how to protect their pets’ food nutrition and how to protect their pets healthily. It turns out that a lot of knowledge about pet nutrition lies in the accumulation of bits and pieces in life. Is your pet happy today?
