DESCRIPTION
B-complex vitamins are important to overall health. Some of their benefits are:
-Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is necessary to metabolize carbohydrates and produce acetylcholine.
-Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) is a precursor to coenzymes after being converted to its bioactive form, in order to be used by the body.
-Vitamin B3 (niacin) is a precursor to coenzymes and plays an important role in energy transfer reactions for the metabolism of sugars, fats and alcohol.
-Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is a precursor to coenzyme A, which is necessary for metabolizing amino acids and fatty acids.
-Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) is an important coenzyme for decarboxylation.
-Folic acid works synergistically with vitamin B12 for DNA synthesis, which is necessary for all skin cells.
-Vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin) is a coenzyme necessary in order to process carbohydrates, proteins and fats, maintain nerve sheaths, and is involved in erythropoiesis.
-Inositol is an important intermediate element of the second messengers, as well as a primary element of the cell membrane phospholipids involved in many biological processes.
-Vitamin B7 (D-biotin) is an essential coenzyme, which works synergistically with other B-complex vitamins, for the synthesis of proteins, carbohydrates and fatty acids.
-Choline is essential for the formation of nerve impulses, which convey information through the nervous system.
-Moreover, it is involved in the production of hormones and is necessary for the metabolism of fats and cholesterol.
-Para-aminobenzoic acid (PABA) is essential for folic acid synthesis and for maintaining healthy skin.
