Why Take a Vitamin B Complex?


All of the alphabet vitamins are important for our good health such as vitamin A, C,E, D  and of course the wide range of Vitamin Bs.   The good news is that if you are into healthy eating your diet  will be rich in all vitamins. Healthy eating includes an abundance of fresh fruits and veggies, lean meats, fish and whole grains.  Most of us are familiar with Vitamin B12 and Folic acid as they are the most commonly known of the B vitamins.

Here is a brief run down of all the the B vitamins

Vitamin B1 also known as Thiamine which mainly supports the nervous system. It is readily found in lentils, pork, sunflower seeds and cauliflower

Vitamin B2 Riboflavin  This supports  cellular energy and its found in eggs, salmon spinach and broccoli

Vitamin B3 also known as Niacin  helps support the cardiovascular  system  This vitamin is  found in beef, poultry, who grains and lentils

Vitamin B5 Pantothenic  acid also helps cellular production in the body and is found in egg yolks, avocados, cashews and brown rice

Vitamin B6  also known as Pyridoxin keeps the body function operating helps nervous system operating.  found in eggs, bananas, poultry and cooked spinach

Vitamin B 7 Biotin  good for healthy hair and skin and nails.  This vitamin is found in cheese, organ meat and strawberries

Vitamin B9 Folic acid  important in fetal health and baby development.a  dark greens , asparagus, beets and avocados


B12 Cobalamin produces energy nervous system and red cell production  foods are mostly  chicken beef, sit and eggs of animal..so vegans need to take a supplement  Taking a super B complex will assist in get enough of all your B vitamins.

I take my Vitamin B complex in liquid form for quick absorption.  Though I have a very healthy eating regime we all have off days where we don’t get all the nutrition we need.  For the taking these vitamins ensures me of getting all the vitamin Bs I need.  We take several supplements each day, but the reality is that nothing takes the places of fresh foods for a healthy diet.  You hear a lot about participating in a healthy lifestyle and everyone will interpret this differently. 


It is so easy to tell someone to eat healthfully, exercise and get plenty of sleep.  Doing all of this in life is no easy feat.  Sure we can follow a healthy lifestyle for a period of time, but until we make a commitment to ourselves it will break our good intentions to enjoy a healthy lifestyle.
