| Overview
Feeling stressed out? Too much work on your plate? Kids driving you nutty? B-Com features vitamin B complex to calm your nerves and relax you from daily stress.
It is important to supplement your body with a good vitamin B combination when demands such as strenuous physical exercise, dieting, lack of sleep, or everyday stress occur.
Vitamin B is a complex of eight water-soluble vitamins:
• Vitamin B1, (Thiamine)
• Vitamin B2, (Riboflavin)
• Vitamin B3, also Vitamin P or Vitamin PP (Niacin)
• Vitamin B5, (Pantothenic acid)
• Vitamin B6, (Pyridoxine and Pyridoxamine)
• Vitamin B7, also Vitamin H (Biotin)
• Vitamin B9, also Vitamin M and Vitamin B-c (Folic acid)
• Vitamin B12, (Cyanocobalamin)
The B vitamins are often called the "stress" vitamins. When our bodies are forced to withstand the demands of physical or emotional stress, the B-vitamins and other key nutrients are the first to be depleted. The body not only needs specific nutrients to combat stress, but it must also replace the nutrients that stress directly uses up. Deficiency can cause fatigue, anxiety and poor hair and nail condition.
The B vitamins are commonly associated with:
• stress
• nervousness
• anxiety
• cardiovascular system
• energy
• skin, hair and nails
• immune system
The B vitamins help to regulate metabolic functions. Taking B vitamins to supplement your diet can help prepare our systems for coping with stress-related factors in our lives. The B vitamins are water-soluble and are not stored in the body. This means that they are needed on a daily basis in order for the body to maintain healthy levels. Any excess is excreted in the urine.
