Beaver is rich in such vitamins and minerals as: vitamin B2 – 12,2 %, potassium – 13,9 %, phosphorus – by 29.6 %, iron – 38,3 %, selenium – 48,4 %
- Vitamin B2 participates in oxidation-reduction reactions and promotes the colors’ receptivity by the visual analyzer and dark adaptation. Insufficient intake of vitamin B2 is accompanied by violation of the skin’s condition, mucous membranes, violation of light and twilight vision.
- Potassium is the major intracellular ion that participates in the regulation of water, acid, and electrolyte balance, involved in the processes of nerve impulses, regulation of blood pressure.
- Phosphorus takes part in many physiological processes, including energy metabolism, regulates the acid-alkaline balance, part of phospholipids, nucleotides, and nucleic acids, necessary for mineralization of bones and teeth. Deficiency leads to anorexia, anemia, rickets.
- Iron is included with different functions of proteins, including enzymes. Involved in the transport of electrons, oxygen, provides a course of redox reactions and activation of peroxidation. Insufficient consumption leads to hypochromic anemia, myoglobinuria atony of the skeletal muscles, fatigue, cardiomyopathy, atrophic gastritis.
- Selenium – an essential element of the human body’s antioxidant defense system, has immunomodulatory effects, is involved in the regulation of the action of thyroid hormones. Deficiency leads to Kashin-Bek disease (osteoarthritis with multiple joint deformity, spine, and extremities), Kesan (endemic cardiomyopathy), hereditary thrombasthenia.
