Biovea Vitamin B-50 – Vitamin B, Pack of 100 caps

What are B vitamins?

Complex supplements typically contain 6 to 12 different B vitamins. Although your daily needs for each B vitamin vary, your body uses what it needs from such supplements and eliminates the excess through urine.

Why take B vitamins?

The B-complex vitamins are a group of essential nutrients that are often found together in foods. They are all water-soluble, meaning that any excess nutrients are easily eliminated in your urine. Since most B vitamins aren't stored in your body, you need to get them daily from your diet to avoid deficiencies. According to nutritionist Elson Haas, MD, many Americans' diets lack B vitamins.

Functions

In many cases, B vitamins work together to perform their myriad roles in the body, and some metabolic tasks require the presence of two or more B vitamins. Collectively, these nutrients facilitate the production of energy in your cells by activating enzymes that metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. The Linus Pauling Institute at Oregon State University reports that B vitamins—particularly vitamin B-12 and folate—are necessary for synthesizing the protective insulation around your nerve fibers and for the production of DNA and RNA. B vitamins are also necessary for your emotional well-being, as they play an important role in the synthesis of neurotransmitters.

B vitamins are essential components of many key enzyme systems, without which the body cannot function. Each B vitamin fills a different additional need, which is why they often need to be taken together. B vitamins act as coenzymes to catalyze numerous biochemical reactions.

B vitamins help the body produce energy and can help reduce fatigue. Vitamin B2, also known as riboflavin, is involved in metabolic processes in the body and helps ensure that energy is produced efficiently. Vitamin B6, also known as pyridoxine, speeds up chemical reactions that occur in the body's cells, making the processes more efficient so that energy is produced with the least amount of resources possible. Without enough vitamin B12, the body cannot produce energy efficiently, which leads to fatigue.Method of use: Take 1 capsule daily.
