B complex

A group of water-soluble vitamins that play essential roles in the body's metabolism and overall health.

Benefits of B complex vitamins:

1. Energy production: B complex vitamins, including thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pantothenic acid (B5), pyridoxine (B6), biotin (B7), and cobalamin (B12), are involved in converting the food we eat into energy. They help in the metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, providing the body with the necessary energy to function optimally.

2. Nervous system support: Several B vitamins, such as thiamin (B1), riboflavin (B2), niacin (B3), pyridoxine (B6), and cobalamin (B12), are crucial for maintaining a healthy nervous system. They support the production of neurotransmitters, which are chemicals that transmit signals between nerve cells. Adequate levels of B vitamins can help promote proper brain function, mood regulation, and cognitive health.

3. Thiamine (B1): Involved in muscle contractions. It supports the production of ATP, which is crucial for muscle function. Thiamine is also essential for production of hydrochloric acid required for digestion. Thiamine is involved in body’s stress response as well, and increased thiamine is required during periods of stress.
