OUR VITAMIN B & C SUPPLEMENT The B vitamins are best supplied in a ratio which matches the requirements of the human body. Paired here with vitamin C, this supplement is ideal for replacing the water-soluble vitamins that the body regularly excretes. The vitamin C in this blend is in the form of calcium ascorbate, a more gentle, non-acidic form of vitamin C which better complements the mix of B vitamins. WHAT IS VITAMIN B? The B vitamins are a family of water-soluble nutrients that play an important role in almost every biochemical process that occurs in the body. B vitamins cannot be stored by the body, which is why it is important that they are a standard part of the diet in order to avoid deficiency. It is also important to monitor your B vitamin intake if you follow a diet that does not include meat or fish as some B vitamins, such as B12, are found predominantly in meat and fish. WHAT IS VITAMIN C? Vitamin C is a water-soluble vitamin and a potent antioxidant. The body cannot store vitamin C, which means it must be a standard part of the diet in order to avoid deficiency. We use calcium ascorbate in our Vitamin B & C supplement, a synthetic form of vitamin C which is gentle on the stomach. WHAT DOES VITAMIN B & VITAMIN C DO?
