5 Top Reasons You Need Vitamin B Complex by Nadine Masseron ND

The Vitamin B Complex comprises of the essential B Vitamins - Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12 plus the vitamins Biotin, Choline and Inositol. Vitamin B Complex is needed for the proper functioning of almost every process in the body. Here are my 5 top reasons you need to get plenty of B Complex vitamins in your diet.

1. Energy Production

Vitamin B1 is needed to help convert the carbohydrates we eat into glucose. The following B Vitamins are needed at a cellular level to convert glucose into energy - Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6 and Biotin. A Vitamin B deficiency in any of these vitamins can lead to decreased energy production, lethargy and fatigue.

2. Healthy Nervous system

The Vitamin B Complex is essential for the healthy functioning of the nervous system. Vitamin B5 is needed for the correct functioning of the adrenal glands and the production of some hormones and nerve regulating substances. Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6 and Vitamin B12 are essential for the regulation and correct functioning of the entire nervous

system including brain function. Vitamin B9 is essential to prevent neural tube defects to the foetus during pregnancy. A deficiency in any of the Vitamin B Complex vitamins can lead to feeling stressed, anxious and depressed.

3. Good Digestion

The Vitamin B Complex is essential for correct digestion, production of HCl (Hydrochloric acid) and to assist in the breakdown of fats, proteins and carbohydrates. Especially vital for good digestion are Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3 and Vitamin B6. A deficiency in any of these B Vitamins can lead to impaired digestion and deficiency of essential nutrients.

4.Healthy Skin, Hair and Nails

The Vitamin B Complex is essential for correct RNA and DNA synthesis and cell reproduction. As our Skin, Hair and Nails are constantly growing and renewing themselves we need the following B vitamins to ensure the good health of these structures - Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B9, Vitamin B12, Biotin and Choline. Deficiencies of any of these B Vitamins can lead to dry, grey skin, dermatitis, wrinkles, acne, rashes, falling hair and weak, splitting nails.

5. Synergy

The B Vitamins work so closely with one other that a deficiency in any one B Vitamin can lead to poor functioning of any or all of the others even if they are in good supply. Always take the B Vitamins in a Complex and then top up with any individual Vitamin B, if needed.

Extra Tip

B Vitamins are water-soluble which means any excess will be excreted through the urine. This also means that B Vitamins need to be taken on a daily basis, as the only one we can store is Vitamin B12. Taking a high dose Vitamin B Complex (50mg - 100mg) daily can turn urine a bright fluorescent, this is perfectly safe and normal so don't be alarmed!

Thank you for taking your time to read this article on the benefits of the Vitamin B Complex to your health. Here's to your good health.........naturally!

Follow these 2 simple rules and improve your health by taking a good, healthy B vitamin.

RULE 1: Look at whats in it.

There are eight known B vitamins. Good products have all eight in a balanced form. The eight (8) are:

• Thiamine (B-1)
• riboflavin (B-2)
• panothenic acid
• niacin
• B-6
• biotin
• folacin
• B-12

All 8 are essential for human metabolism, growth, reproduction, general health, appetite, the normal functioning of the digestive tract, nervous stability and blood cell formation.

B vitamins are competitive in the body. B vitamins must be taken together in a balanced, complex form in order for your body to use them correctly. Taking 1 or 2 of the B supplements alone can throw off your metabolism.

Some B-complex components are expensive to produce.  Others are cheap. Guess which ones are left out of discount vitamins. Trust me, not all vitamins are the same. It is worth your time and money to compare vitamins.

Look at the back of the vitamin bottle.  Do you see 6000% of the recommended daily allowance of one B, (the less expensive one) and 20% of the expensive one?  Ask yourself if the company making that product is looking out for you health or it bottom line.

B vitamins are like a sports team. There is no "I in TEAM".  Everyone must work together to achieve a winning combination. I can still here my coach, "You are only as strong as your weakest link." "Win one for the Gipper" --- but wait –-- I think I am getting off track....

Vitamin companies are not required to do research on their products. Most companies don't do any.  It costs a lot of money.

The old saying of "you get what you pay for" really does hold true for vitamins and supplements. It is worth the effort to find a company that does the clinical research and can back up their nutritional claims.

RULE 2: Make sure it gets into your body.

What happens to a vitamin tablet once you swallow it?

Does it pass through your body unused? All you are doing is making expensive urine or(excuse my language)"pissing money down the drain".

OR, Does it get into your body where it can do the job it is meant to do?

The right blend of all eight B complex vitamins must be included for the tablet to be absorbed correctly.

For example, Folic acid is very difficult to get into the blood stream. A large part of a pill made of just folic acid would pass right through you and never get absorbed. But if the pill was made in a correctly balanced form, folic acid could reduce hospital charges for women of child bearing age up to an estimated 20 billion dollars per year.

B vitamins have many positive affects on our bodies.

B Vitamins are so important they are one of the few nutrients the federal government mandates to be added to foods.

The problem:  You cannot rely on food for enough B vitamin. Intense heat, slow cooking, light, baking soda and baking powder all destroy B vitamins.

When was the last time you went through a day without sugar, processed foods, alcohol, caffeine or STRESS.  Everyone of these depletes your body's supply of vitamin B.

Everytime you eat carbs B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, phosphorous, andmagnesium are required to metaolize them.   The last 4 are not replaced by "enrichment" of foods so the body must use its own reserves.

Pantothenic Acid, (B5) gets taken from the nerve and muscle tissue; Pyridoxine (B6) is taken from the Brain; Phosphorous and Magnesium are taken from the heart and bones. 

Deplete the body of these compounds and you weaken the nerve and muscle tissue which could result in nerve problems and loss of muscle tone. The loss of brain tissue will affect your memory. Phosphorous depletion will weaken muscle and rhythm function, affecting the rhythm of the heart.

Processed food removes these B vitamins and enrichment does not add them in a way that our body can use.  

I am not trying to scare you but maybe its time to start doing something to help your body.  Do something to boost your health.

It is like insurance for your body.  Give your body what it needs.  Take a small step and make the choice to eat natural foods when possible and supplement your diet with a good B complex vitamin.

Here's to your health!
