Its a well known fact that B vitamin complexes are a great supplement to your over all health and energy. But why is that ? What are the exact benefits? I always wanted to know, so here are my research results.
- Less is more
- Less is more..again!
- Mental Energy
- The Best one yet!
- All the benefits in one package
B1 also called thiamine helps the release of energy from carbs. It will increase the energy you get from eating your food. So just by taking this alone you will get a little boost out of the food your currently eating. Other positive effects include nervous system function aid and appetite maintenance.
B2 also called riboflavin is responsible for getting the energy out of the fats and protein you eat. Again you get more out of the food you already eat. Additional benefits include healthy skin and eyes.
B3(niacin) and B12 are the brain boosters of the complex. These will give you the mental energy you need to get things done thought the day. These also help by improving circulation and reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.
B9 Folic Acid is the jack of all trades. Its great for about anything. It is used in treating "tired blood" (anemia) and is needed for proper stomach functions. It has many disease preventing benefits and it even helps with memory loss. If that isn't worth taking i don't know what is.
By just taking a simple (and cheap) B vitamin complex you get all these benefits. You would have to eat a great many different and healthy foods to be able to match these. I personally take Botanic Choice Super B-100 Complex and have so for many years. It helped me greatly over the years. If you have a deficiency in any of the B vitamins and you take a Complex for the first time prepare to be amazed. It makes a world of difference. B complexes are available at almost any store or even costco.
