What do B-Vitamins Actually Do?

ENERGY : B vitamins help the body metabolize carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy. In fact, in recent years, studies have suggested that patients with chronic fatigue syndrome felt more energetic when provided with supplementation of B vitamins.

HEALTHY SYSTEM: B Vitamins are necessary for maintaining a healthy nervous system, skin, eyes, hair, liver, and mouth.

BRAIN HEALTH: Recent research indicates that B vitamins may help reduce age-related brain damage like Alzheimer’s and dementia.

STRESS RELIEF: Disorders that arise from stress are often due to nutritional deficiencies, especially deficiencies of B Complex (B-1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 12). With multiple sources and meaningful doses of B vitamins.

"It looks like getting B vitamins -- from foods or supplements -- is nearly as important as stopping smoking, lowering high cholesterol, and controlling blood pressure when it comes to preventing a heart attack," says epidemiologist Eric Rimm of Harvard University.

In 1998 Rimm and his colleagues reported that women who got ample folic acid and B-6 suffered heart attacks only about half as often as women who took in meager amounts. The finding may help clear up an enduring mystery: Half of all heart attack victims have cholesterol levels that are in the desirable range. More and more experts are coming to accept the notion that in some cases the culprit is an amino acid called homocysteine.

Homocysteine is thought to scar blood vessels, setting the stage for artery-narrowing deposits. Unfortunately, your body produces this substance when it digests animal protein. How might B vitamins help? They may work to dispose of homocysteine before it wreaks havoc. All three of these vitamins are found in a variety of ordinary foods. And synthetic folic acid is sprayed onto enriched grains. Still, you can't count on getting the recommended 400 micrograms of folic acid from food unless you eat a bowl of fully fortified breakfast cereal every day.

As for B-6, studies have shown that up to half of women over age 50 don't get enough. And up to a third of those over 50 have trouble absorbing B-12 from food.

We've all heard it-get plenty of rest, exercise regularly, eat healthily, and you'll have the energy to burn. True? False! In fact, many adults who live healthy lifestyles are still frustrated by the lack of energy they feel. That's because many adults are missing an important but simple solution to having more energy-vitamin B-12.

The bottom line on B-Complex Supplements:

You need more of these vitamins than your meals can possibly supply. The easiest way to get them in the proper balance is by taking a B-Complex supplement and a quality multivitamin.

Not sure if you should be taking a separate B Vitamin Complex Supplement. Check the list to see if you have any of these symptoms:

B Vitamins are so important they are one of the few nutrients the federal government mandates to be added to foods.

The problem: You cannot rely on food for enough B vitamin. Intense heat, slow cooking, light, baking soda and baking powder all destroy B vitamins.

When was the last time you went through a day without sugar, processed foods, alcohol, caffeine or some stress? Every one of these depletes your body's supply of vitamin B.

Every time you eat carbs B-1, B-2, B-3, B-5, B-6, phosphorus, and magnesium are required to metabolize them. The last 4 are not replaced by "enrichment" of foods so the body must use its own reserves.

Pantothenic Acid, (B5) gets taken from the nerve and muscle tissue; Pyridoxine (B6) is taken from the Brain; Phosphorous and Magnesium are taken from the heart and bones.

Deplete the body of these compounds and you weaken the nerve and muscle tissue which could result in nerve problems and loss of muscle tone. The loss of brain tissue will affect your memory. Phosphorous depletion will weaken muscle and rhythm function, affecting the rhythm of the heart.

Processed food removes these B vitamins and enrichment does not add them in a way that our body can use.

Maybe it’s time to start doing something to help your body. Do something to boost your health.

It is like insurance for your body. Give your body what it needs. Take a small step and make the choice to eat natural foods when possible and supplement your diet with a good B complex vitamin.
