What are we made of? That’s a really interesting question. Certain foods and nutrients are so essential for human life. There are all of these different elements that combine with carbon to make humans.†
Each element in our body is so important. We’re mostly water. About 62% of our body is water. It’s the major component in our blood, lymphatic tissue, cerebral spinal fluid, synovial joint fluid, skin and more. Every one of our cells is loaded with water.†

We’re 16% protein. Protein makes us function. We use amino acids from protein to make neurotransmitters for the brain, digestive tract and muscles.We also use it to make hormones, enzymes and our DNA and chromosomes.†
Our bodies are 20 to 30% collagen, which is connective tissue. This is where a lot of the carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen and oxygen that make up our body is found. Collagen holds you together. The peptides in collagen make your ligaments and tendons and hold your bones, joints and muscles together. Your skin is about 70% collagen. As you grow older, your body makes less collagen, so it’s important to get a source of high-quality, grass-fed collagen.†
Your body is about 16% fat. The brain is made out of complex fats called lipids. These fats come from fish oils and vegetables. In there, there are also minerals such as phosphorus and vitamins like choline.†
You’re 6% minerals. The number one mineral in your body is calcium, most of which is found in your bone. It is also used for nerve and muscle function. After calcium comes phosphorus, which is easy to get through vegetables and beans in your diet.†
The body also contains elements that are harmful to the body and do not belong there. Some of these include arsenic, mercury, lead, aluminum and titanium dioxide. These contaminants can impact your brain, intestines, respiratory system and more.†
Choosing high-quality foods is important. A good diet allows you to receive the nutrients you need, while hopefully avoiding harmful ones that can be consumed through animals raised with antibiotics or produce grown in nutrient-depleted soil.†

B COMPLEX VITAMINS & YOUR BRAIN, PART 1 – INVITE HEALTH PODCAST, EPISODE 102. Listen Now>>
We know Vitamin B6 as pyridoxine. This nutrient is incredibly important to so many different functions in our everyday life. Pyridoxine is required for more than 160 enzyme-driven reactions in the body and this can affect things from amino acid transformation to the synthesis and breakdown of different neurotransmitters. It can also impact cellular energy production, the immune system and methylation reactions in the body.†
We usually obtain an adequate amount of Vitamin B6 when it comes to our food sources, including foods such as chicken and peanuts. However, many people are starting to show insufficient or deficient levels of this nutrient, often due to the Standard American Diet. Low levels of Vitamin B6 can be incredibly problematic when we think about all of the different health implications. Studies have linked low levels of pyridoxine to issues such as depression, anxiety, inflammation and more.†
Supplements can help to boost your blood levels of Vitamin B6. Additional studies have shown that supplementing with this nutrient can help support heart health and proper inflammatory responses. Research has also shown that pyridoxine can target harmful end products from glycation that can impact eye health, skin health, memory and more.†
