Vitamin B Complex
Vitamin B Supplements
B Vitamins are the building blocks of a healthy body and play a vital role in maintaining good health and well-being. B Vitamins have a direct impact on your energy levels, brain function, and cell metabolism. B Vitamins do not provide the body with fuel for energy, they are actually needed to help the body to use the energy-yielding nutrients (such as carbohydrates, fat and protein) for fuel. B Vitamins are also needed in the synthesis (production) of DNA.
The B Vitamins are a collection of eight water-soluble vitamins essential for various metabolic processes. Most of these vitamins can’t be stored by the body and must be consumed regularly in the diet. Vitamin B supplements are often referred to as Vitamin B Complex supplements.
The eight different types of Vitamin B are:
Vitamin B1 (Thiamin): Helps our bodies convert glucose into energy.
Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin): Plays a role in our vision and our energy levels.
Vitamin B3 (Niacin): Helps our body to convert carbohydrates and fat into energy.
Vitamin B5 (Pantothenic acid): Is needed to metabolise carbohydrates, proteins and fats.
Vitamin B6 (Pyridoxine): Plays an essential role in brain function, formation of red blood cells and immunity.
Vitamin B7 (Biotin): Is needed for energy and amino acid metabolism.
Vitamin B9 (Folate): Is needed for red blood cell formation, DNA synthesis and is the most important vitamin in pregnancy.
Vitamin B12 (Cobalamin): Helps to produce and maintain the myelin surrounding nerve cells where there is vitamin b12 deficiency, assists with mental ability, assists in red blood cell formation and helps break down fatty acids and amino acids to produce energy.

Things to look for in the Best B-Complex Vitamins Supplement
The B Vitamins are a collection of eight water-soluble vitamins essential for various metabolic processes. Most of these vitamins can’t be stored by the body and must be consumed regularly in the diet. Excess B Vitamins are excreted in the urine.
Synthetic B Vitamins need to be metabolised in the liver into their active forms to be used in the body. They are man-made in a laboratory and relatively cost effective. Active B Vitamins are already in their “ready-to-go” state and the body can use this form immediately. This version is more costly but readily and easily absorbed. If you have issues with nutrient absorption because of any Gastrointestinal condition (i.e. Gluten intolerant / Lactose intolerant / irritable bowel syndrome / Crohn’s Disease) then taking activated vitamins is a must! Different B Complex supplements will have a varied combination of B Vitamins. Always check the formulation so you know which B Vitamins are included in the B Complex Vitamins Supplement you have chosen.
