http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/node/154 All the b complex vitamins I’ve
decided to lump all of the b complex vitamins [1] together this week. I may,
down the road, write more specific articles about some of the individual b
vitamins, but this week I’ll briefly discuss them all here. The vitamins
included in the “b complex” include: Vitamin B1 (or thiamine), Vitamin B2
(or riboflavin), Vitamin B3 (or niacin), Vitamin B5 (or pantothenic acid),
Vitamin B6, Vitamin B7 (or biotin), Vitamin B12 and Folic acid (which is
technically considered Vitamin B9.) These vitamins are generally grouped
together in supplements, but can occasionally be found individually,
especially Vitamins B6, B12 and Folic Acid. These water soluble vitamins are
necessary for many important functions in the body. All of the *b complex
vitamins* help to turn carbohydrates into energy, because of this, b vitamins
are sometimes considered a natural energy booster. B vitamins may also have
stress relieving properties because they “may strengthen the immune system
and improve the body's ability to withstand stressful conditions,”
according to the University of Maryland Medical Center. Thiamine was the
first of the b complex vitamins to be discovered, which is why it’s called
Vitamin B1. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, “Your
body needs it (Vitamin B1) to form adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which every
cell of the body uses for energy.” UMM also says that Vitamin B2 “is
important for body growth and red blood cell production.” Of Niacin (or
Vitamin B3), UMM says, it “helps the body make various sex and
stress-related hormones in the adrenal glands and other parts of the body.
Niacin helps improve circulation.” Aside from the stuff that /b complex
vitamins/ are known to do, Vitamin B5 (or pantothenic acid) has recently
gained attention for being able to ease a person’s acne breakouts by
reducing the skin’s production of sebum. The Office of Dietary Supplements
says, “The body needs vitamin B6 for more than 100 enzyme reactions
involved in metabolism. Vitamin B6 is also involved in brain development
during pregnancy and infancy as well as immune function.” Biotin, according
to WebMD.com, “plays a key role in the body. It supports the health of the
skin, nerves, digestive tract, metabolism, and cells.” Vitamin B12 and
Folic Acid are two of the most popular B vitamins. The Office of Dietary
Supplements says, “Vitamin B12 is a nutrient that helps keep the body's
nerve and blood cells healthy and helps make DNA, the genetic material in all
cells. Vitamin B12 also helps prevent a type of anemia called megaloblastic
anemia that makes people tired and weak.” Vitamin B12 and Folic Acid often
team up, according to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Folic acid
“works closely with vitamin B12 to help make red blood cells and help iron
work properly in the body.” Additionally, UMM says, “Folic acid is
crucial for proper brain function and plays an important role in mental and
emotional health. It aids in the production of DNA and RNA, the body's
genetic material, and is especially important when cells and tissues are
growing rapidly, such as in infancy, adolescence, and pregnancy.” Because
*b complex vitamins* are water soluble, it means they are not stored in the
body and need to be replenished each day. This is why B vitamin supplements
are so popular. Aside from supplements, there are many food sources for each
of the B vitamins. Some of the most common food sources, according to
WebMD.com, include: Vitamin B1 – Whole grain, enriched, fortified products;
bread; cereals Vitamin B2 – Milk, bread products, fortified cereals Vitamin
B3 – Meat, fish, poultry, enriched and whole grain breads, fortified
cereals Vitamin B5 – Chicken, beef, potatoes, oats, cereals, tomatoes
Vitamin B6 – Fortified cereals, fortified soy products, organ meats Vitamin
B7 – Liver, fruits, meats Vitamin B 12 – Fish, poultry, meat, fortified
cereals Folic Acid – Dark, leafy vegetables; enriched and whole grain
breads; fortified cereals Image found here [2] [1] http://www.liquidhealthinc.com/liquid-vitamin-b-complex
