did you realize that your body cannot make vitamins but your microbe sure can

your microbes your friendly bacteria the good flora in your gut are vitamin

making machines on steroids they make a lot of vitamins and they make vitamin K

which actually has everything to do with stopping bleeding and any vitamin that

your body makes means that it is important

there’s something about bleeding internally that is very very unhealthy so

this is one of the reasons why your body makes vitamin K to prevent that from

occurring also they can make vitamin b12 which is all about supporting your

nervous system if you’re deficient it b12 you could have some permanent nerve

damage it’s also about supporting your blood if you’re deficient in b12 you can

become anemic your body makes a vitamin b1 it’s probably one of the most

important water soluble vitamins because its effect on the nervous system the

brain the heart most people are deficient simply because they’re on a

high carb sugar refined carbohydrate diet they’re consuming a lot of grains

refined grains that deplete b1 and then they start developing anxiety attention

problems panic attacks and other issues if you want to know more about b1 just

take a look at all the symptoms from berry berry which I put that video down

below but even though someone might not have the classical huge deficiency of B

b1 how beriberi they could have a subclinical version of b1 so they’re

deficient but not by a large amount just enough to create irritation to the

nervous system to affect the person’s mood to put them in a nervous state of

anxiety but b1 is also important in memory in certain parts of the brain and

also in the heart okay the microbes also make vitamin b2 which helps you break

down proteins carbohydrates and fats to turn that into energy so it’s involved

in the little energy factories called the mitochondria

also it will make vitamin b3 which has to do with helping you regulate

cholesterol supporting brain function and joint health it too is involved in

the production of energy in the mitochondria your microbes make b5 which is

a coenzyme and a lot of biochemical reactions including making protein it

also supports the adrenal gland and helping you make adrenaline and

noradrenaline also b6 is made by microbes a lot of women take b6 for PMS

symptoms also if they’re pregnant and they get swelling and edema b6 will push

the fluid out b6 is also good for carpal tunnel syndrome so it’s good for the

nervous system your microbes make biotin I did a separate video on that I’ll put

that link down below a biotin is about the formation of protein and the

formation of certain fatty acids in the body so it’s important in hair nails and

skin so if there’s something not right with your gut you could be deficient in

all these right here all right full late but folate will protect your DNA it’s

also involved in the formation of making DNA but your body can’t make vitamins

but your microbes can these are some of the microbes that make these B vitamins

and you can get these from consuming fermented foods especially sauerkraut

that would be a really good source so your microbes help you in many many

different ways they make vitamins they make enzymes to help detoxify they make

acids that give you energy from the food that you give them which is fiber also

they make amino acids that turn into neurotransmitters that then help you

with your mood and your brain focus and your cognitive function also certain

microbes in the small intestine have the ability to make lactase which is an

enzyme to help break down milk sugar lactose

there’s also enzymes within the small intestine that make that enzyme but

you get older that tends to go away so this explains why probably half the

population is lactose-intolerant but anyway it’s not just about eating

healthy it’s about preserving the friendly guys that can help you make

vitamins so you can be healthy thanks for watching and check out this video on

the digestive system that explains the whole thing from A to Z
