Description
The B-complex of vitamins are water soluble nutrients, thus requiring water for absorption. They have common characteristics and perform a number of functions in our bodies. B-complex vitamins play a role in the health of our eyes, muscles, nerves, hair, nails, and skin. They are involved in the digestive process through the production of hydrochloric acid and the digestion of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. In turn, B-complex vitamins help control fat and cholesterol in the body.
B-complex vitamins can help alleviate mental and physical stress and fatigue. The health and function of the central nervous system (CNS), in part, depends on these vitamins and they help improve memory, cognition, and concentration. B-complex vitamins can also help prevent migraine headaches and increase energy production.
B-complex vitamins include B1, B2, B3, B6, and B12.
