The B vitamins, grouped together are often called B-complex vitamins. B-complex is comprised of 8 different vitamins, thiamine (or B1), riboflavin (or B2), niacin (or B3), pyridoxine (or B6), folic acid (or B9), cyanocobalamin (or B12), pantothenic acid and biotin. These vitamins are essencial for the following:
- The breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose (this provides energy for the body)
- The breakdown of fats and proteins (which aids the normal functioning of the nervous system)
- Muscle tone in the stomach and intestinal tract
- Skin
- Hair
- Eyes
- Mouth
- Liver
You can get your natural B-vitamins through some foods such as:
- Potatoes
- bananas
- brewer's yeast
- lentils
- chili peppers
- turkey
- tuna
- liver
You can also get your B-complex vitamins through supplements that you can find at a nutrition store. Make sure to read the bottle for the correct dosage, as too much B-complex is not good for your system.
A healthy dose of B-complex vitamins can help people who suffer from immune and nervous system conditions, depression, stress, and metabolic problems. It also promotes healthy cell growth, especially red blood cells. This is helpful for people who may suffer from anemia.
All in all, B-complex vitamins offer something to everyone, even if it is only to promote healthy skin and muscle tone. Who doesn't want that!
