Benefits of Vitamin B Complex

B vitamins are important to us and are water soluable. They are in whole grains, nuts, eggs, meats, brewer’s yeast, green leaf veggies and other foods.

When we are deficient in any of the components of this complex, we can get a number of different health problems. For instance, a b-12 deficiency can result in anemia. If you are a vegetarian you need to check your b-12 levels. For B6 deiciency we can become nervous and agitated. Some signs can be kidney stones. If you tend towards an Atkins type of diet, you also may require more supplementation.

Folic acid (vitamin B9) needs to be increased for women during pregnancy. Niacin can give someone a temporary red flush and warms up the body. This effect diminishes after 45 minutes. Niacin can counteract pellagra which is related to mental health issues.

Stress is helped by taking a vitamin B supplement and sometimes on the bottles they are even called “Stress B vitamins”. The B vitamins from our foods are depleted easily when we suffer from stress or anxiety so supplementation is recommended.
