 Vitamin B1 – Thiamine: Serves as a catalyst in carbohydrate metabolism, thus producing energy. Deficiencies lead to beriberi, heart swelling, leg cramps, and fatigue.
Vitamin B2 – Riboflavin: Helps to metabolize fats, carbs, and proteins, thus involved in energy production. Deficiencies lead to skin lesions, light sensitivity.
Vitamin B3 – Niacin: Assists in releasing energy from nutrients and can reduce cholesterol. Deficiencies lead to pellagra, diarrhea, swollen tongue, mental confusion.
Vitamin B5 – Pantothenic Acid: Helps in the metabolism of fats, carbs, and proteins. Deficiencies lead to fatigue, allergies, nausea.
Vitamin B6 – Pyridoxine: Assists in the absorption of amino acids (protein) and to form red blood cells. Deficiencies lead to skins disorders, dizziness, anemia, depression.
Vitamin B7 – Biotin: Helps form fatty acids and assists in carbohydrate metabolism. Deficiencies lead to impaired growth and neurological disorders in infants (nothing reported with adults).
Vitamin B9 – Folic Acid: Enables the body to create hemoglobin. Deficiencies lead to spina bifida in newborns (pregnant mothers most definitely need to supplement with folic acid, period).
Vitamin B12 – Cobalamin: Vitamin b12 benefits- Assists in the overall function of the nervous system and formation of red blood cells. Deficiencies lead to anemia, memory loss, cognitive issues – ONLY found in animal sources – vegetarians MUST supplement.
Our Ultimate B Complex Veggie-Tabs contains well above the RDA of each of these nutrients. B vitamins are water soluble, so they are excreted daily in your urine, therefore must be replaced every day. Using our B supplement, you will never find yourself – even if you are very active – in a deficiency condition on any of the B vitamins.We have the best complete b vitamin supplement.
Like many Elemental Nutrition products, we add extra ingredients to enhance or compliment the effect of our ‘base’ formulation. Our B complex is supported with herbs which have the effect of soothing your nervous system and reducing inflammation. We include the following herbs:
- Passionflower, which will prolong your sleeping time and possibly reduce muscle spasms.
- Skullcap, which will help reduce inflammation and muscle spasms.
- Valerian, which will soothe the nervous system and induce restful sleep.
Therefore, our Ultimate B Complex is designed to be taken at night, to maximize its potential. Your body does most of its repair work at night, hence it makes sense to take most of your B vitamins at that point as well. Combined with our natural sleep supplements
, you will certainly have a restful, healthy sleep while also providing your body with required nutrients.
In addition to the B vitamins, we also include Vitamin C (also water soluble) – and a good dose of it – to provide antioxidant protection. Additionally you will find Calcium, Magnesium, Phosphorous, Chromium, Choline, Inositol and PABA included – all of which are co-factors in the use of the B vitamins. Therefore, we’ve gone the extra mile to take the guesswork out of selecting a B complex. This is a fantastic supplement, and we’ve had a great track record of its use. Try it for yourself and see.
