Many of us are lacking the required vitamins and minerals our bodies need to function to their fullest capacity. Through Letourneau’s Compounding Pharmacy you can access the full line of Metagenics vitamins that can supplement help your body function at optimal performance day in and day out! There are 13 essential vitamins that our bodies require:

• Vitamin A: helps form and maintain healthy teeth, bones, soft tissue, mucous membranes, and skin.
• Vitamin B1, also known as thiamine helps the body cells change carbohydrates into energy. It is also essential for heart function and healthy nerve cells.
• Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin (vitamin B2) is important for body growth and the production of red blood cells.
• Vitamin B5, also known as pantothenic acid is essential for the metabolism of food. It also plays a role in the production of hormones and cholesterol.

• Vitamin B12 is important for metabolism and helps form red blood cells and maintain the nervous system.
• Vitamin C is an antioxidant that promotes healthy teeth and gums, absorb iron, and promote wound healing.
• Vitamin D is a vitamin we all learned a lot about during COVID, and because the sun is a great source of Vitamin D, people living in the northeast are usually low in this vitamin. Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium and helps modulate our immune responses.

• Vitamin K helps our blood to clot when we get injured.
• Biotin is essential for the metabolism of proteins and carbohydrates, and in the production of hormones and cholesterol.
