Vitamin B1 & B2
Vitamin B1, or thiamin, is an important coenzyme that helps the body convert food into energy and assists in manufacturing fat and metabolizing protein. Thiamin is needed to maintain normal function of the nervous system and supports a healthy heart. B2, or riboflavin, works synergistically with other B vitamins to metabolize carbohydrates, fats and proteins.Vitamin B3 & B5
Vitamin B3, or niacin, acts as a coenzyme, assisting other substances in the conversion of food into energy. Niacin works with other vitamins to metabolize food and provide energy to the body. B5, or pantothenic acid, helps the body extract energy from carbohydrates, fats and proteins. It also helps to metabolize fats and produce red blood cells and hormones from the adrenal gland.Vitamin B6, Folate & Biotin
Vitamin B6 is three substances (pyridoxine, pyridoxamine, and pyridoxal) that work in unison to metabolize protein and amino acids. Folate provides cardiovascular support and also plays a role in the release of serotonin, a key neurotransmitter. Biotin acts as a coenzyme in the metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, the breaking down of proteins, and the conversion of amino acids from protein into blood sugar for energy.Vitamin B12
When supplementing with B12 in its most common form, cyanocobalamin, an intrinsic factor made in the stomach must be present in the intestinal tract in significant amounts to allow for the absorption. Low levels of B12 can in many cases be attributed to the body's inability to absorb it. This leads to supplementation becoming ineffective. The best way to increase absorption of vitamin B12 is by taking it in the form of methylcobalamin, due to methylcobalamin B12 not needing an intrinsic factor to be absorbed.Promotes Healthy Nerves
B vitamins have an huge impact on the health of your immune system and have been shown in studies to help the body cope with stress and while promoting good sleep. This is a result of B vitamins assisting in the maintenance of healthy nerves in your body. B vitamins have a beneficial impact on adrenal glands, which are responsible for properly regulating your response to outside stress.Good for Circulatory Health
Taking a B-complex supplement can have great impact in your overall circulatory health. Vitamin B6, B12 and Folic Acid help support healthy homocysteine levels in the blood, which is needed for proper cardiovascular health. B vitamins also participate in the formulation of red blood cells in the body.
Enhances Energy
B vitamins are extremely helpful in allowing your body to receive energy from carbohydrates. The average person partakes in at least one of the activities that diminish B vitamins levels within the body (alcohol, coffee, tobacco, sugar, sodas, and stress). It's important to regularly replenish your B vitamins so your body can have a constant supply readily available. - Reviews
