The B-complex vitamins are actually a group of eight
vitamins, which include:
Vitamin B1 - Thiamine
Vitamin B1 is an important coenzyme that helps the body
convert food into energy.
It also assists in manufacturing fat and
metabolizing protein.
Thiamin is necessary to maintain normal function in
the nervous system.
Thiamin plays a part in the chain of
reactions that provides energy for the body.
It is thought to be beneficial
for people suffering from Alzheimer's disease and older adults with mental
impairment.
Vitamin B2 - Biotin or Riboflavin
Riboflavin, works together with the
family of B-complex vitamins to provide the body with energy by
metabolizing carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
It also helps in the
regeneration of glutathione,an enzyme that rids the body of free radicals.
Riboflavin may be able
to decrease the number of migraine headaches a
person has.
It may also help to prevent cataracts. Riboflavin has helped to
increase iron levels for those suffering from iron-deficiency anemia.
Vitamin B3
- Niacin
Vitamin B3, or niacin, works with other V-complex vitamins to
metabolize food and provide energy for the body.
Niacin is very effective at correcting high cholesterol and preventing or
reversing heart disease.
It can be used to treat insulin-dependent diabetes.
Also be effective in treating arthritis and migraine headaches.
B5 - Pantothenic Acid
Pantothenic acid is commonly
found in "anti-stress" formulas because it works with the
adrenal
glad to produce stress hormones.
Pantothenic acid helps the body
extract energy
from carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. I
t also helps to metabolize fats
and produce red blood cells and hormones from the adrenal gland.
Pantothenic
acid is necessary to maintain good health.
Vitamin B5 might be useful
in treating rheumatoid arthritis. It could also be used to lower
blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
Vitamin B6 - Pyridoxine
Vitamin
B-6 plays a critical role in the synthesis of 5 essential neurotransmitters:
norepinephrine, serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, GABA.
B6 is
effective against more than 100 health conditions.
The functions of the brain and nervous system are
chemically dependent upon B-6 status.
It's used against
heart disease
and everyday aggravations such as premenstrual syndrome
and sensitivity to MSG.
It can even help
prevent the formation of
kidney stones.
B-6 is critical for
the synthesis of a class of lipids called sphingolipids. These lipids are
critical for cell signal transduction and brain health.
Abnormal
lipid values have been identified in individuals with elevated urine
pyrroles. This may be especially true for an
omega 6 lipid, arachadonic acid.
Vitamin B-6 is critical for several biological and
metabolic functions:
Folacin, folic acid, and folate all refer to the same B vitamin, which
occurs in foods in all three forms.
Folic acid is the simplest form of the
vitamin.
Vegetables are high in folate.
Folate
has many benefits specific to women.
In addition to helping create healthy
fetuses, it also seems to prevent cervical cancer and can reduce
osteoporosis.
Folate, like
many vitamins and nutrients, helps combat heart disease.
It also releases
serotonin, which makes it act as a mild antidepressant.
Vitamin B12 -
Methylcobalamin
NOTE: this from of methlycobalamin
is best form of B12
Vitamin B12 is a crucial nutrient for nerve health
and the construction of red blood cells that carry oxygen throughout your
body.
Vitamin B12 deficiency is especially common among
vegetarians and
vegans, but it's also common in meat eaters, too.
Vitamin B12 can only
be absorbed in the small intestine and due to common intestinal ailments.
Many meat eaters who consume high levels of B-12 are
unable to absorb it in their gut.
This leads to a Vitamin B12
deficiency.
Studies now show that up to 40% of the population may be
deficient in vitamin B-12.
