In this episode, we delve into the essential but often overlooked roles of vitamins E, B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), and C in gut health, mental well-being, and overall bodily function. We discuss how these vitamins support anti-inflammatory processes, antioxidation, immune function, energy production, and microbial balance in the gut. We emphasize the importance of obtaining these nutrients through a balanced diet and explain why relying solely on supplements may not provide the same benefits. We also address the interconnectedness of these vitamins with other nutrients and their synergistic effects on health.
