OUR SUPER BALANCED VITAMIN B COMPLEX Our high-quality vitamin B complex supplement provides a full range of essential B vitamins. This includes the six numbered vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B12). This product is ideal for simplifying the process of taking individual B vitamin supplements. 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. BENEFITS OF USING NICOTINAMIDE? Vitamin B3 supplements come in two forms, niacin and nicotinamide. Niacin can be know to cause a red flushing when taken, but nicotinamide does not have the same effect. This is why we have used the nicotinamide form of vitamin B3 in our this version of our vitamin B complex supplement. We do also offer a vitamin B complex supplement that uses the niacin form of vitamin B3. WHAT DOES VITAMIN B DO?
